They

I went for a walk yesterday. Which, I know, sounds like Not A Very Big Deal.

But I was feeling a little flat [two-hourly wake ups will do that to a girl, even if she is waking for the sweetest of little dots]. And what I really felt like doing was crawling under my doona and having an I.would.stay.here.all.day.if.i.could snooze.

But, my friends, I didn’t. I pulled on my new [they.only.had.them.in.pink] trainers and headed out.

Now, I hadn’t walked properly for about a hundred years [I found it hard to move towards the end of my pregnancy] and I have been feeling a little house-bound of late [trying to work out how to coordinate two sets of tiny needs at exactly the same time – I have developed a whole new respect for parents I see out and about with multiple little ones…how did you even get out the door??]

So I went out and it was incredible! The sun was shining, my legs were moving [I have muscles!?] and I was listening to terrific music. So great!

They [They?] say that exercise is great for your well-being and I always think yehbut the times I most need a well-being boost are the times when I least feel like doing anything remotely exercise.like. But then I make the effort when I least feel like it and I know that They are super smart and super right.

Now? I’m just going to try and make it a regular thing.
