Oh no! One of those arm rolls got out of control, didn't it? I can see how that might happen.



Take care of yourself!

For myself, I have to say that I've been doing pretty well. Yesterday's figure came in at 10,231 and I'm very happy with that. That was a full day at work and one mile around the neighborhood in the rain last night, which I rather enjoyed.

It was only slightly drizzling when I went out so I took a jacket that's not rainproof but is woven enough that I would be dry as long as there wasn't a downpour. Cue harder rain about 1000 steps into my mile so I found a nice, long building that sheltered me from the brunt of the rain and wind and I walked back and forth along the length of it for the remainder of my mile. There were bollards at each end of the building so I made it a game and had to touch the bollard at each end before I could turn around.

I didn't get soaked at all even though the rain did pick up a substantial amount from when I started, so that was good. I am fully enjoying my quiet walks at night. I don't know how long I'm going to be able to keep enjoying them with winter coming but I'll do them as long as I can because I feel that it's more than just getting steps in now. It's a way to decompress, to work through personal and professional issues without someone looking at me funny for talking to myself and I can actually feel my body working to process dinner or whatever I ate beforehand. I can literally feel my stomach get more loose and not as full from start to finish. It's really kind of cool, imo.

Today's count will be far less, even if I take a nice long walk tonight since I'm off and not really planning on leaving home until my walk later. I got up late and am only doing two meals today so maybe that will help even things out a bit.
