Sights I See

It is already the middle of the month and the 60 in Sixty challenge (really my 120 in Sixty) has been going on for 11 days. This has to be one of my favorite challenges thus far because I am really encouraged to get out there and walk; no matter the temperature outside, rain or shine. My favorite part thus far about my excursions is that I always find something new and interesting to take pictures of while being out. I am really beginning to embrace Instagram and taking advantage of posting pictures that I can edit and share with others.

It brings back memories of when I initially began losing weight at the age of 17. Walking was a part of my normal routine and I would walk my neighborhood between 2 and 3 times a day. People would stop me and say that they saw me out walking and were amazed at my transformation. It was the only form of exercise I was getting at the time but it worked and I dropped 50 lbs within the year. (Only to gain it back during college)

I have to share about the water bottle. I was walking back to my house during my 7.67 mile stint on Saturday. As I was getting ready to walk into my neighborhood, a lady pulled over and motioned me over to her car. She was lost and was in need of help in order to get to a wedding at one of the local Catholic churches. So I explained it in terms of how many lights she needed to go past. Any one who knows me, knows that I tend to use my hands a lot with explaining and she saw my water bottle was empty. After I explained the directions to her, she gave me her cold water bottle. It was totally unexpected and really nice of her. There are good people out there.
