There are 2 places I’m going wrong on the weekends. The first I discussed on Monday – FOOD. Portions … selection … I was pretty far off all the way around.
The second place I was off track is exercise. In the beginning, going to the gym 3 times a week was enough … but then I weighed 270. Now, I have to do more, so I started walking on the weekends. My initial obstacle was I didn’t want to drive to the gym on my days off. Then it occurred to me. I have the beautiful outdoors waiting for me … well … right outside my door. I do walk a little slower, when I’m not on the treadmill; but better than I thought. I went 2 ½ miles in 40 to 45 minutes. I took some pictures, so I’m not exactly sure. A cold blowing rain or temps in the negative, may keep me indoors, but I’ll go when I can.
Sunday, a neighbor pulled up beside me on my walk. Told me a big footprint was seen about a mile from my house. The neighborhood thought it was a cougar. He suggested I quit walking.
Now, this is a great guy. Plows out my drive in the winter, just a terrific neighbor. If they find me dead on the back roads some weekend, well then, I should have listened to him. Still, I kept walking. It’s a late harvest this year, but the guys still have to hang around the elevators waiting to unload. They gossip … a lot. They think it’s “news,” but no, it’s gossip. It’s possible this really is a cougar. Maybe. Considering the deer population, it’s a very well fed cougar. Since it’s a cat, I assume it hunts at night. Anyway, I bring the pets in at night, so I guess we’ll be fine.
