I walked with my friend's Mom this morning. There is a park near me and the circle is just over a mile. We had a nice time. Wasn't to hot, the dogs enjoyed it. Since I am driving tomorrow, we have set a potential date for Friday Morning. I deliver to the university tomorrow, so going to try getting in the gym for a little bit in the morning before I leave out. Standing in a small space and sitting long hours makes my legs and feet swell. Hoping getting in the gym before I leave out will help with that.
We were talking about her son on our walk. He is a heavier man. And they spent six months down south over the winter. He lost a lot of weight because they were walking a lot, eating better, etc. Since they have been home this last spring, he has put it all back on and then some. I have asked him to walk, come to the gym with me, etc to no avail. She told me this morning she has asked too. I really like him, he is a great person. It bothers me that he makes so many excuses to not even get up and walk. His favorite is "I'm hurting". I wake up hurting, so does Mom. It is getting concerning to both of us. But we both decided this morning, that all we can do is ask him to join us. If he doesn't it is on him. Hard as that is going to be, it is all I can do. I really care about him, and watching him deteriorate to worse condition than pre winter trip really bothers me. He told me last evening he doesn't know how I do what I do at the laundromat. I told him, Im stubborn, it needs doing so it gets done. It hurts and I have a mat, and do what I can to support my back and all. Walking this morning helped loosen things up. I am hoping that him seeing me and his Mom being able to stay mobile might get him moving. One can only hope.
Someone told me a long time ago that it all starts with standing up. I didn't realize until these last couple years just how true that is.
Well, I hope everyone has a wonderful day today. You are rockin it!
