I posted this elsewhere, & wo one or two things refer to that place. Otherwise, the rest is relevant.
Last year wasn't really all that bad overall for me, but then, unlike a lot of people, I didn't stop working. I got a new-to-me-car. I started getting more per hour at work. No one in my family has had any problems of note.
So, yeah. I'm not complaining about 2020 or care whether it's over or not, unlike a lot of people.
I don't say any of this to make anyone feel bad, & I'm not trying to gloat or the like. My heart goes out to everyone who's had suffering & bad times in 2020, or at any time. I've had my share in my 50 - almost 52 years (in March) - of life.
The reason I'm mentioning this is because, despite it being a good year for me, it has had it's bad stuff. Namely, weight gain. I didn't get out nearly as much as I wanted, & I didn't move nearly as much as I should have. I got so used to using my car that it became my first choice, even if a 20 minute walk to the post office to check the mail on a nice day would've been a perfectly good option.
I have no one to blame but myself, but I also have the choice to get up off my derriere & move more.
So I decided that's what I shall do.
These days the weather's miserable & I'm going to walk out in the rain except to & from work since I live so close & it doesn't pay for me to drive to work. Despite what gets recorded here time-wise for my morning & night walks, it's actually only a 2 1/2 minute walk between home & work.
Here at work I sit too much if it's not a busy night, but I'm going to change that. I hurt my hip a while ago by stumbling at home, so that I wouldn't step on my cat, & so the stairs are out of the question right now, but I'll work up to them.
For now, though, I'll start with just getting up & walking the halls a lot more often so that I'm actually moving.
After the last shift of each set of shifts, I'm going to walk an indirect way home to move more.
This is not a New Year's resolution - they've not been part of my life for years - but it is a decision that just happens to've been made at the beginning of a year. haha
So, yeah! I don't know where any of you are at, but I hope everyone here is well & COVID-19 free.
Happy 2021, everyone! 🤗🎉
