Day 226: I messed up big time...

Full confession: I forgot to walk yesterday.

I normally (as in 80% of the time) do not write until I have walked. This is achieved because I normally walk in the morning and post at night, but sometimes I walk at night or post then walk right afterwards (which is super dangerous).

Last night as we were getting ready to watch the fireworks (we can sit in our front yard & see the city's firework display), I realized I needed to type my blog so I wouldn't be up too late.

As I crawled into bed...it hit me - I never even walked! The children even asked if we could walk around the neighborhood, but I wanted a nap since I knew I was going to be up late....it didn't even dawn on then that I hadn't walked.

I guess I could have gotten up & walked, but it was close to midnight - not a good excuse, but the truth.

I thought about walking twice today or walking on Sunday to make up for yesterday's skip...I've decided not to. Why? Because I need a glaring mistake in my year of walking journey. I need a reminder that even a habit needs to be planned & worked on - can't let it slip (the whole endure to the end thing).

I didn't beat myself up. I am not beating myself up now - just being honest. I made a mistake. I should not have posted yesterday without walking. So, I have to own up to it now. That simple.

Walked today. Will walk tomorrow...and I have a feeling I will be able to make it through the rest of the year.

I am little disappointed in myself. I really wanted a 100% on this journey...but I guess not getting a 100% is part of the journey too.

Happy Walking!
