Acting out of character

I know that when my doctor poked me in the belly and admonished me for not doing anywhere enough exercise I felt resentful. How dare she!
Well, since then:
- I have bought a pedometer to keep track of steps throughout the day;
- I’ve started walking to the local shops rather than driving whenever I need to buy a small number of items;
- I go for a 1 hr walk several times a week;
- I have a quick walk during my lunch hour when I’m at work; and
- I’ve acquired a bicycle and am just getting used to riding a bike with gears.
That’s so unlike me.
And I’ve further improved my diet. I now have fruit and nuts for snacks rather than cheese biscuits and I have been using more fresh vegetables in my cooking.
I know it’s pathetic – this deep craving of mine for approval.
But do you know what. I actually enjoy my walks.
