I’ve discovered that walking to the local grocery store is a perfect thing to do in the morning. I think I mentioned that I don’t currently have a car and have been very frustrated about this situation until recently. (more on that another time)
I’ve been walking about 30 minutes or so to the grocery store, doing my shopping and then loading my backpack to walk home again. The trick is to not go crazy and put too much weight on my back as I do not want to have a repeat of the earlier back injury that kept me from exercising altogether. I think I should plan to do this frequently as I need produce and other perishables. When I need to do a bigger shop – for heavier items or a lot of items at one time, I will take the bus to Walmart as I have been doing.
I’m starting to feel much better about not having a car – just trying to have the discipline to wait on this until it makes sense financially AND recognizing that it’s things like this (walking to the grocery store) that are supporting me in the weight loss challenge.
Hmmm…do you think perhaps God knew best when I was praying so desperately for a way to get a car months ago? 😉
