Caught the sun peaking through the trees
Arrgh!! I had just about finished my post when everything got deleted! Noooooo! So here I am starting all over again. This time I am going to smarter and prep this on Evernote before pasting it into the Actifit app.
I took the day off from work today and decided to try and get my steps in early. I thought I might even try to hit my 10,000 step goal. I love the quiet of the early mornings as I have some time to myself as I walk to think, listen to the Bible and other educational materials. I also feel more inclined to pray during my morning walks out in nature. I am so grateful to be alive and for a whole new day everyday. God is so good!
The peace of the morning is so refreshing and the fact that I am not screaming every five minutes for my kids to keep to the side of the road is just bliss.
I arrived at the park and focused on getting my heart rate up and started power walking. Then I did some strengthening exercises for my knee. It is day 3 today and I am working on getting to 100 days of being active. I am just glad that I have Actifit to help me on my journey to recovery. My knee surgery set me back quite a bit.
I decided to also walk at a different part of the park today and came across the children's playground. It really made me sad to see how quiet and empty it was. I remember the same time last year, it was teeming with children having a really good time playing together and being outdoors. Now my kids are just stuck at home in front of the computer, TV or the Nintendo Wii. I would rather them be out and about in the open. Sigh, I am so not liking the new norm! 🤨
The sad and quiet playground
After about 45 minutes it was time to head home to coffee and breakfast! Yes I am a coffee addict! I do so look forward to sitting down to a freshly brewed cup of coffee and catching up with Crypto Twitter. 😜
Waiting for my Moka Pot to brew
I didn't manage to end the day with another round of exercise as it started to rain really heavily in the evening. I didn't quite get my
10,000 steps today in fact k barely scraped my minimum of 5k... but there is always tomorrow right?
So you stay active and happy! It is almost the end of the day for me and it time to wind down with he kiddos and put them to bed after finishing this post.
Xoxo,
Khim
