Today was just beautiful. 56 degrees in mid Fall is gorgeous! Say what?
Are you kidding me? I noticed
that I wasn’t the only one enjoying this mild weather because there were people
out in shorts and tank tops. I thought
they were outright crazy but then I recalled more than four years ago at the
Santa run event downtown, NYC. It is a
yearly event where people compete in a race dressed in Santa outfits. The big red and white suit and hat along with
the white beard, however, there was a guy who dunned his birth suit with only a
red, velvety drawers, his hat and long beard; in the heart of winter that is. 
It was just too warm out to stay inside all day so I
decided to kill two birds with one stone; so I have decided to walk 0.7 miles
to the supermarket to buy groceries. I
got my veggies, frozen fruits (fresh fruits are not so fresh this time of the season),
and proteins (fish, cheese, yogurt, nuts & fat-free milk). Doesn’t sound like much right? To my disbelief I packed 1 large & 2
medium-sized reusable shopping bags, accompanied by a small box with my eggs, a
carton of milk and a case of mushrooms.
In weight, I had approximately 10-15 lbs. on each
shoulder then the other bag was dangling from my arm while I curled my arms to
carry the box. This was my weight & strength
training and cardio was a 1.4 miles brisk walk.
About half the distance I was sweating like a pig and my arms began to
hurt. Oh yes I did my workout indeed for
the day. Water intake is increasing at a
steady pace and my clothes already starting to fit a bit loose. I firmly believe that I am making baby steps now
to make a giant leap later on my journey to health, beauty & fitness.
