My Daily walks...and sugaring off today...lol

I have been walking for 4 months now. It's been a daily routine since January.
I have been hearing about walking for 3 years now. My friend Jan is a walker. She walks to her mom's...she walks to town, she walks around town.....to and fro...she walks and walks and walks....

She has been trying to motivate me to walk......it finally kicked it....3 years later....I could kick myself in the butt ( not the legs or foot....I need those to walk lol)

So now I walk and I finally understand how much she loves it and why she loves it. I live in the country and I have the pleasure to meet many farm animals on my way...I greet them all....cows and donkey, miniature ponies and horses....and of course the farm dogs.... There are days that a walking stick is needed....just in case lol...

Yesterday, in the pouring rain I went for a walk. My water resistant coat is not water resistant...lol...I found out the hard way. The wind was whipping the raindrops on me like bullets. All of a sudden while walking by the huge field a literal cloud of white and Canada geese lifted off into flight. The sound was deafening....and I never felt so alive!! It was beautiful to see them!


Today we are meeting my family at Sucrerie Lavigne....a sugar shack!....I called them last week to ask them if they had any diabetic friendly meals.....I know....it's an oxymoron but I still wanted to know if there way ANYTHING I could eat...turns out that they do not cook they eggs or meat in maple syrup. I asked her if they had any fruits...she was stunned....NO she said. Ok....Can I bring my own fruits? She asked me if one day of eating sweets was going to kill me.....after the initial feeling of wanting to say...F off.....I said it may not kill me but it will make me feel horrible and this feeling could last days....so yes....it will kill my week...

I feel like this is a test of my will....and I can say with all confidence that I will pass this test with flying colors! I no longer crave sugar...shock of all shock... I crave apples and peanut butter whole grain wraps...

next hurdle....Easter! lol....
