Yes. I did go too far yesterday.
I went a mile today, and hope they average out and I hope I can walk the fairly new ‘usual’ of 1.3 miles tomorrow. We shall see.
On the bright side, I reached another ten mile milestone, and earned this delightful virtual badge:
“Life is short and then we all gather at that post-race celebration in the sky.”

But 30 minutes a day of exercise is part of my defense - against unhealthiness in multiple forms.
Would you take a daily pill if it kept you healthier and feeling younger? What if it took you 30 minutes to take that pill?
I guess my pill is exercise. At my annual checkup, I noticed the daily vitamins I take are recorded as “medications”. A few years ago, it felt like being ‘old’ to take the 7 pills a day...but today I am grateful that I don’t have to take anything else on the regular.
Here’s to aging as well as I can!
That she was "aging with grace" was the best compliment our mother felt she'd ever received from various eye and teeth professionals she consulted. I'm cook with keeping the "awesome" in my life in whatever form it comes.
ReplyDeleteWell done!✨💖

ReplyDeleteDelightful...teehee. Congrats
ReplyDeleteYou know, the US DoD tends to contribute to the dead, so maybe those acronyms aren’t as unrelated as they might at first appear???

Congratulations on the badge 🙂
Going up to the spirit in the sky ...

I like that idea: the "pill" that takes 30 minutes!! And like the irony of the "DoD" badge . . we'll keep right on living while we're here!!
ReplyDeleteGood for you! I was also surprised to see my daily multivitamin classified as medication.
ReplyDeleteNow TWO songs in my head - "Cast your Fate to the Wind" after OKM's blog
and "Spirit in the Sky" after reading Jeanknee's comment
Oh yes, I noticed daily multivitamin is recorded as medication.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely exercise and proper nutrition are my 'pills'. Long may it stay that way!

As I'm battling a tooth infection right now, I'm taking a ton of pills 'round the clock. I definitely don't want to have to do this regularly when I'm older for any kind of health conditions, if I can help it! So yes, like you, I'll stick with my daily "pill" of exercise! Great blog.
ReplyDeleteSuch a colorful badge!
ReplyDeleteYou rock!
Yes my vitamins are also logged as medications I take. I am grateful that I can walk 30 min.and most days more if I am lucky.
ReplyDeleteCatching up on your blogs...
ReplyDeleteThat is definitely a great badge!
I think I've finally figured out how to get my comments posted on blogs here. It's taken a few tries but we'll see...
