Walk or Knit?
OK. I can’t believe this.
But I have a friend who has asked me to start walking with her in the mornings.
DOES ANYONE ELSE REALIZE WHAT THAT WOULD MEAN?!?!
It would mean giving up my knitting time in the morning.
I don’t know if I can handle that.
But, it is a very good idea. The Big Texan and I have both started eating healthier. We are trying to make ourselves exercise too. So far we haven’t started exercising, but I know as soon as we do – HE will start dropping weight like mad and I won’t. If I start walking now, well he wouldn’t even have to know about (except that he reads my blog – I guess I didn’t think that through).
But I need to start walking. I need to get my metabolism going. I could even use the whole thing as an incentive… You know – I lose so many pounds or walk so many days and then I can knit for a morning or get some new yarn or something.
Let’s see, I could say after 5 days of walking, I can knit for 30 minutes with NO GUILT.
No. I can’t give up the knitting in the morning completely. That is one of the only things that gets me out of bed at the ungodly hour that I have to get out of bed (after only 5 hours of sleep).
I wonder if I can walk and knit…
I know I can – I have done it on the beach and on vacation. I would have my friend to stop me from barreling into oncoming traffic.
Also, this is a new friend and she would be a good connection to have (both things that are worth fostering).
I was considering walking after work. I could bring a change of clothes, walk around town before I drive home (thus missing traffic), and then take a shower.
The only thing wrong with that is I like to go and meet my knitting friends after work (not every day – but a lot of days). I guess I could use THAT as an incentive. If I walked so many days in a row, then I could go to the next knit night. That would curb how much I knit away from home and get me to do some exercising.
Hmmmmm
I wonder what other people do.
I have a couple of days before I have to decide. I am going to think about it.
