Adopting a New Routine


Halfway into one my "loose kicks" down the frozen food aisle, the Assistant Store Manager looked up from her handheld inventory device to smile and ask if I was having a good day. Without realizing what I was doing, I had coordinated several moves from Laurie's walking exercise DVD to the beat of the music piping through the grocery store. Feeling only slightly silly about being discovered in my routine, I had to smile at the changes I've integrated into my life over the past 6 weeks.

Not only have I changed my daily habits, but I am also beginning to notice the benefits. Though my work day had been a particularly stressful one, apparently I was oblivious to that as I hunted for the broccoli. I had already worked out at the Y, cooked supper, and was then, at 8:30, happily dancing to the beat of some unknown tune, instead of slouching, sedentary, in front of the computer. I don't really care what anyone at the grocery store might have thought. That's progress and I'll take it.
