Getting back in shape for the holidays.

Last month's participation in Walk For The Cause was pretty great. Yeah, it took me 90 minutes to walk the 5K, but I am ramping up my game. On Thanksgiving I am walking in another one, but this time I want to do it in less than an hour. So walk more daily and be very hydrated when I walk. Yeah. I can do this. Then I can go home to chow on some great T-Day food and fall into a food coma. Just a couple of friends over. No family. No obligation to watch football, no kids screaming, no need for using the good china when paper plates are available. Still, I miss family. I could stand for a little football and kid screaming now and again.
By my reckoning, the calories burned while walking will be equivalent to the ones ingested at lunch. It is a nice trade off, I think. Part of my goals in life are to get healthier, do more things that I want to do and to not feel guilty or obligated. I think this pretty much fulfills those goals.
