Sometimes I'm certain that the only thing holding my body together on a daily basis, is the Grace of God and my own willpower. Yesterday, I had broccoli for breakfast. Then I decided I wanted to go for a walk...it would have been to the park, but there's construction hogging the sidewalk. Or, just a dude working on the power lines. I decided that I'd stroll through the neighborhood, instead. I crossed the turns and steep hills. When I made it to the other road at the end, I didn't want to stop. So I took a right, and walked the mile or two to the intersection. I hovered around the grocery and convenient stores, sipping my water and taking a break. I would have walked home, but my hips hurt; my right one, especially felt like it was about to pop out of its socket.
I eventually made my way over to my friends' house. Another friend was moving back in with them~ One of my friends has a young daughter with [severe] ADHD, but I swear she is just the cutest little devil in the world! xD Yes, she can be almost unbearingly annoying, but she has a certain charm about her. She decided that I was her new best friend; we ran around outside, back and forth between the front and back yards...over a massive hill, mind you! @_@ We jumped around on the trampoline in the back (I made sure it could support my weight, and thankfully my friends are smart and have a net around the thing to prevent injury. We had a lot of fun together, I really enjoyed it! :) But, my body is frail, and I spent the day power walking "treacherous" terrain and then going on crazy adventures with a 6-year-old. I feel pretty haphazardly glued together at the seams right now! xD
This morning, I had another bowl of broccoli. When I was still 3/4 asleep, I wanted anything BUT to get up at all, today! Now I'm sitting here contemplating another walk, because I'm afraid I'm going to get fatter. >_> Ugh.
