Hey folks,
It's time for a random discussion about walking. Why is it time? I don't know. I just picked the topic randomly.
Let's start with this: The more you make your body go, the more it wants to go.
Not always, of course.
But usually.
Also, walking won't make you too tired. One tired maybe. But not two tired.
As plenty of us can testify, a high step count works. It's easy to do, doesn't stress the body too much, and keeps the weight down. It keeps you lean! However, if you don't consciously decide to walk, you're lucky if you'll surpass 4,000 steps a day.
Today's steps:
What do I while walking? I listen to audiobooks. Right now I'm listening to Gresham Machen's Christianity and Liberalism. The time just flies. I'm done before I know it.
The more you walk, the easier it is. For a couple of years I've been averaging around 12-15,000 steps per day. It definitely allows me to eat a good amount of food. Plus, it's great getting outside. I often run my steps, but usually I walk them. I'm just on auto pilot. So I never get fatigued. It's not a chore for me.
I've written this post to let someone know, when in doubt, to just start walking. It's a great solution for weight management, mental health, and a lean(ish) physique.
Before I leave you, let me add this. Since this is the first day of the year, be sure to begin each day with God. We'll never get off to a good start without him. A believer is prepared for tomorrow if first he or she has a season with the word and prayer. I never start a day without that. Never.
Friend, begin any new undertaking with God. Bring it to him. After all, everything begins with God, as Gen. 1:1 reminds us!
P.S. As per usual, I have a bad case of runner's toe. I should go to the podiatrist and just have him remove my dead big toenail, but I'm too much of a coward. I'll just let it fall off naturally. But it sure does hurt!
