Walking thoughts

I took a walk with mom last night. The weather was so nice out that it was difficult to waste all my time indoors.

It occurred to me that during this time in my life, I am getting the littlest amount of exercise I have ever had in my entire life.

In gradeschool, I took dance lessons, ran around with neighbor kids, and rode my bike. Up until my Sophomore year in high school, I took dance but then I dropped it due to theatre scheduling conflicts. But for the rest of high school, I still had to walk to class and climb stairs and just get around there. In college, I didn't exercise but I still had to walk to classes, so at least I walked a little every day. And now... I'm moving the least I've ever moved. I don't have to walk around at my job, I sit at my desk all day and I'm lucky if I walk around the building once in a day. It's a short walk to my car, so that's not a big thing either. I guess most adults face this problem, but it also just drives home how much I need to get out and take a walk, even if it's only for 15 minutes.
