Today was conspiring against me a little bit--I think maybe this is a Monday thing? I was going to walk this morning, but I overslept. Then it was HOT, and I forgot my walking shoes, which led to a tiny fit in my office. And then I decided to go for a walk anyway, in spite of my flip flops and the fact that it was already 89 at 11:15am. So i went, resentfully. And you know what? I saw like 40 butterflies in at least 4 different varieties, saved a cool looking caterpillar from death, saw a beautiful blue and black lizard, and moved a praying mantis from harm's way. It was wildlife central out there, and totally worth it. The flip flops slowed me down, and I stuck to the shade to avoid the beating sun, but I still made it a little over a mile and a half. In these!
In other news, I may be experiencing some of that endorphin thing people who regularly exercise keep promising me. We'll see how I fee after tomorrow's barbell class, but I was in an oddly good mood this afternoon--I blame brain chemistry.
Last, but not least, my fitbit emailed to congratulate me on a lifetime peak of 4000 floors with the 747 badge. It's the little things...
