Everyday on my way to work, I drive over the Cooper River Bridge. I always see people running and walking on the bridge. I told myself I wanted to do that someday. Well, today was the day! The walk immediately seemed daunting because there's nowhere to park at the base of the bridge. I was wondering WHAT I had gotten myself into by the time we even made it to the bridge. I'm not gonna lie.. It was hard. Steep and uphill. I had flashbacks of my dad dragging me through Washington D.C., a city where walking is the main mode of transportation. (Just say the words "Lincoln Memorial and I still shudder. The closest Metro stop is like more than a mile away!?!) Anyway, it was hard but so worth it. The view was beautiful, but more than that, I was proud of myself. Yay, me! Besides, this makes it three days in a row that I've exercised. Which is no small feat. :) I took a couple pictures to document the momentous moment. PLEASE ignore the windblown hair!

So I've been thinking that I want to buy a "goal" item of clothing.. Something that I love and want to be able to wear. I don't really have much of a style because cute clothes in my size are very hard to find. I would dress TOTALLY different if I could go into any store and pick something off the rack. So that's why I was thinking of buying something. Maybe a cute top or a pretty dress. I'm not sure. I'm thinking of getting like a size 12 or 14. I haven't been a size 14 since middle school. Maybe it'll help motivate me. :) I'll keep you posted!

Well, I am happy for you. It's true, you think you're too tired to walk or exercise, but by actually doing it, it GIVES you more energy, etc..etc...and thus the good pattern can grow and develop. Good job. And, yes, you have to MAKE time to walk, exercise, be outdoors, otherwise the days pass by with no accomplishments in that area. The photo was gorgeous with the river. "Destination walks" are a good idea. Maybe you could buy a SERIES of pieces of adorable clothing. One as you go. One in each size down from whatever you currently are?
I agree with mom, must make time ... can't wait til you get here so we can go walking together! C-ya soon!
