The Long and Winding Road

We are at day 14 of our joint walking regime. Moses and I walk flat terrain one day and take the hilly walkways on the other. We have been doing just great, feeling better with each daily walk, rising early to get our stretching in before we leave the house. Eating has become a more conscious effort, and I guess I got it wrong this week eating a large amount of freshly baked bread each day. Moses has been more reserved, drinking veggie smoothies, and eating steamed veggies. For the next few days I'll follow Moses lead and eat more veggies, less bread, (which he will have to stop baking).

I'm glad we are doing this together, the walks are not only good for our health, it gives us uninterrupted time to talk about things on our minds. We both take time , even though we are walking briskly to admire the flowers and trees freshly blooming around us---I really love walking.

Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.     1 Peter 5:7

The Road Less Travelled

It has been just nine days, since my husband and I began our joint walking regime.  I retired recently and one of my main goals was to resume my walking habit.  Now my husband has been wanting to get back into exercising, but kept coming up with regular excuses, and regular weight increases.  We are an old married couple, 35 years, so doing things together should come naturally by now.  Here's how we have started, I get up 3 hours before we need to leave the house for our walk, and then badger him to get ready for our walk.  This is how we look as we start on our journey to good habits, and good health.

 Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.

Rejoice in the Lord, ye righteous; and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.

Psalm 97" 11, 12
