The boardwalk

It first starts with a step. I am 80 pounds overweight.  My goodness that is not a way to live a quality life in the after retirement chapter. So the first step is finding a way to include consistent activity in my life.

So for me, after decades of diets, and fads, and weird types of fasts, i'm trying to be consistent with following a healthy eating plan and exercise.

Exercise.

I hate exercise. That's not accurate. It's that I do not like the feeling of exercise. I've been looking at different YouTube videos and different podcasts about exercising. Seeing people who are not senior citizens doing suggested exercise for senior citizens does not compute. Being senior citizens who are just freakishly fit is intimidating. I can see I'm going to look at the videos that deal with slowly building the capacity and range of exercises.

But first, I'll go for a walk, mask on. The boardwalk calls to me. My feet press along the different, uneven slats, and at ties see the many variations of how the boards are supported, with nails, space and sand piled underneath the boards.

Have a Fitbit that I"m finally using. It's 2,000 steps to see this view.  Started with 2,000.  Got to get it to 10,000 or five miles by the end of the summer - end of August.
