Walking all over...

Work and other obligations kept me from exercising, suddenly, a perfectly healthy man, I was sick. High, really high blood pressure, and at least thirty pounds overweight. I didn't even notice the weight gain, just assumed that I was getting old and couldn't any longer do certain physical activities. I also notice that I was crankier than the usual and not too happy about anything.
Change of life style, what life style. I always took life as it came, no style.
Once a very active man was inactive and sedentary. Working seating down and eating more.
I went back to what I used to do. Hiking, walking to places and cruise the streets for no reason what so ever, just enjoying the view and camaraderie of other strollers.
I recommend it to anyone that can find a few minutes here and there, to walk, walk and walk some more.
Drink water, with only an occasional beer or wine to breakdown the monotony or enjoy the company of a friend.
I am enjoy life a few minutes at the time and probably will do so for a long time.
