Right where I want to be!!

Yesterday I didn't feel like exercising. I had other things to do and I just didn't want to. I told the boys (Jake had a friend over) I'd take them to the park just minutes away. I knew it wouldn't be much of a walk, but it would be something. When we got to the park they wanted to ride the trail through the woods. For anyone who knows me, I am not a very outdoors person and there is a reason that we have lived in this house for 4 years and never walked the trail through the woods. Jake had been through it once before and they really wanted to go. So we went. I figured with no leaves on the trees, not too much could drop on my head. :) Jake said the trail was about 15 mins. So we started through. As I walked, my head was filled with fear. Was it safe? What if one of them got hurt? I was so big and out of shape I couldn't help them. What if something happened to me? What if I had a heart attack out there in the woods? Is this how I want to live life? Full of fear? Is that how I always am, to some point? Is every event, everything we do filled with some sort of fear? Will I fit? Can I make it? Sadly I think so. I am so glad that I know that I am trying to fix things. Changing. I ended up walking the whole thing and getting in quite the workout!

Today should be on point. Lunch is packed and I will go by the YMCA before I go home. Otherwise, I just won't end up going.
