Okay, so this isn't really my first day like the Subject of this post suggests. However, it is the first day of trying something new. I am going to try to blog more! I am going to try to use this more of a journal of my most inner thoughts/feelings through this journey of self discovery. This is more than a weight loss journey, so much more and I feel like I just need to get some stuff out and not bottled up inside. This may not always be exciting or earth shattering but it going to be honest, and raw.
I have been having some issues with my back - lower back/upper ass. I'm not sure what it is exactly but whatever it is, I am not liking it too much. As I sit here and type this entry it feels pretty good (shhh....). Okay, where was I? Oh yeah, my day! I woke up and truly didn't feel like walking or working out today but I had promised my friend I would meet her so I had to go. Having this committment was actually a good thing because I probably would have talked myself out of it. I hit Bull Run Battlefield and walked the 3 + mile loop. The hill still kicks my butt but one day I will go up that thing not being short of breath. I will!! I typically go alone on these walks but this morning I had company so we went on the path through the woods. I was a little ahead of my friend and I spooked the crap out of myself. I looked up and about 10 feet up in the air in the arm of a tree was this huge ass owl. I swear he was staring at me and willing me to come closer. I realize I was in the woods and seeing an owl shouldn't have been that big of a deal but it was just so big, bold, strong, and beautiful - right there. Larger than life. I left my phone in the car since I had company but I really wish I had my phone so that I could take a pic. I stood there for a few min. and even watched him move his head around. Very cool.
I felt strong today after going for my walk. I have finally gotten to the point in my journey where I am craving my workouts and it is getting harder to talk myself out of them.
love and peace,
me

Wow that would be cool to see an owl. You don't get to see them very often even in the woods!
Looks like a kick butt Day #1 to me. Looking forward to seeing your posts.
wow, that's cool! I wish I could see a picture of it...
Owls, at least some owls, symbolize co-operation. Is it a co-incidence that you've decided to blog more? I don't think so. Part of co-operation is sharing of experiences and teachings.
The spirit of the owl is wise, magical, feminine, sensative to moon phases, healing, insightful and prophetic. You couldn't have asked to see a better symbol!
@Nykkie - HOO HOO's are really ont that cool! TRUST! I don't like having a walking buddy, does that make me weird - don't answer that!
@Katie - THANK YOU, here I am on Day 3 and already missed a few :)
@Jenn - WOW! Thanks for giving me that insight on the owl. He just scared the crapola out of me. I screamed and my friend just looked at me like I was a weirdo. The owl looked at me like I was a weirdo as well! I like your take on it much better!
