Week 10, Day 4, Diet with Dianna

Thursday was super busy. My youngest grid (grown kid) and I ran some errands, which took me most of the working day to get them accomplished. I got plenty of exercise without actually exercising officially.  I had to go to the mall jeweler to have some watches repaired. We arrived about forty-five minutes before the store actually opened, so we took advantage of the cool mall and walked the inside perimeter. Here in Texas we're in the midst of a major heatwave, so I was surprised at the number of folks 'mall-walking'.  I knew that there have been people using malls to exercise-walk , for years, but I believe the amount of people walking lately has risen in conjunction to the temperatures.  We had a good time. The air was cool and the music they played over the mall system was good, too.


Revelation Knowledge:
Whenever you have the occasion to get exercise, no matter where you are, take advantage of that; don't let these kinds of opportunities pass you by.  I knew that I wasn't going to have time to fit in exercise, yet the opportunity showed itself and I jumped at the chance. Ideas: Take the stairs, walk the interior perimeter of the store, take excursions that require you to do walking, park out at the end of the parking lot, ride bikes with your kids, swim with your kids, walk your dog...these are all great ways to add additional exercise without officially setting aside times.

45 min. walking the perimeter of the interior mall.
