I would like to say thank you too! As I have not remembered to do this for a while.

Another thing that I like to do when I go for a walk is to tell my body that it is going to burn up the same number of calories from going on my normal length walk as I would if I went on a 10 kilometer walk. So I visualise that I am going on a 10K walk every day . It is rather hilly where I live with not much level area, so the going can be a bit hard sometimes in my current state of fitness so I also like to tell my body that I can walk effortlessly & easily up these hills. It is amazing what a difference it can make whether I am choosing the "hard" walk or the "easy" walk.

Love, Light & Blessings,
Sharyn
