Love tumbling out of bed to a new day. One never knows what is in store as the day goes on. My walking is becoming a natural habit once again, I look forward to getting out in the fresh morning air. On the one day that I didn't go in the past 2-3 weeks, I almost felt a craving in my mind for it. Certainly a big step forward considering that before I began this new journey, I would lock myself away in my room for days on end - sometimes weeks - in the depths of despair.
I am especially proud of my self this a.m. as my body is reacting to the visit to Big Town on Thursday for vittles etc.
Felt dreadful yesterday with no energy, a terrible headache, fuzzy head, not being able to form thoughts or words correctly and the whole bag of symptoms one experiences following the poking of my snout out of my burrow. Spent the arvo in bed not even sufacing for meals.
When my WB, (Walkies Buddy), rang last night to let me know she'd be joining me this a.m. (she experienced shin splint problems from our walk the previous a.m and hadn't been able to join me on yesterday's walk), I almost told her that I wouldn't be going, but something stopped me from the utterance. This a.m we covered a good distance in an hour so we are satisfied with our effort.
All of my symptoms are still with me so I don't know what the day will bring. I am a bit suprised the body is detoxing so quickly this time. Usually, these days, I am high as a kite, as though I've been on the hops, talking ninety to the dozen, (I could talk under water with a slice of cake in my mouth),'up in the clouds' for at least 3 days prior to detox setting in.
It stops the bod in it's tracks with me scurrying off to bed for a week or however long it takes. It's interesting...well, to me it is, (and suprising to the master)...that this time detox set in the day after the outing...a first. Used to take at least a month of being away from everything before detox set in but the last three years it has only been three days.
The sea air has certainly helped in a big way.

What a stunning photo Toy!
How awful that just a trip into town can leave you feeling so debilitated. I'm glad to hear that you have a few walking buddies, walk as much as you can, every little bit helps with the weight loss. I've just had lunch and am about to hit the treadmil, my knees are sore again today so I don't know how far I'll go or for how long..........got the telly for company - hehehe.
Yes it is lovely. We get some great sunrises/sunsets. I am so lucky. There's only one WB and we suit ona another as she hates to be out and about with the flies and I...well you know about me. I have an elliptical walker and it just kills my knees. Can't be on it for very long at all because I go giddy and feel like dry retching it hurts so much. Still I get on it often throughout the day for short periods. Better than not at all.
