Walking is worth it...

I laugh when I see "Rocking Walks".  I guess it will be that way someday for me!  But for now... I still enjoy my walking.  I wouldn't if it wasn't for my mp3 player.  It really rocks. When some music is too fast.... I get so winded. lol!  But I am sticking with the walking and will continue to.  I feel like it isn't doing much good.... but in my heart I know it is.  My glucose reading goes down.  I am not as winded as I was.  I don't hurt. 

I did learn something about myself today!  I am not good at jumping up from the beach onto a boat ramp two feet high. I don't know why I thought it would be ok.  lol!

Keep on trucking!!!
