Question of the Day: Why?
Last week, we talked about how long we’ve been walking. Today we’re going to go a little bit deeper. WHY did you start walking? And…to go deeper still…why do you keep walking?
When I started, in the fall of 2019, it hit me that I just wasn’t very active. After another summer of donuts and ice cream and fun treats with my daughter, I’d put on the standard Summer 10. And I heard my doctor’s words from a few years earlier: “You know, you’re going to have to start working out when you’re no longer chasing a toddler around.” Well, that toddler was now 7, and that time had come.
When I started, it was out of a need to take off a couple of summer pounds – but I soon realized that walking was more than just a weight loss plan. It helped me survive a pandemic, two years of online school, and plenty of personal crises. Now, it’s not just for my physical health; it’s for my mental health, too.
What’s YOUR story?
