I’m making an inventory of my gear and getting ready for a hike in a week. I told my husband, Josh, that I may need to go to REI for a water bladder for my small backpack. Poor Josh went into his hiding place and brought out what was supposed to be a Christmas present: collapsible water bottles!
I’m so glad I have a thoughtful sweetheart who is usually two steps ahead of me! 😄
Now we can go on our hike next week and be hydrated. I have a hard time remembering to drink water, so this is a great thing for me to have handy.
It all started with my friend, Christine. She called me a Viking. It's because I like endurance sports as well as lifting heavy things. Plus, my heritage includes Norwegians... It struck a chord somewhere deep down. I suddenly liked the idea of not having to be a small, slender person. I could be strong and thick. I could have mass. I don't want to be overweight or obese, mind you. I just don't like trying to be a waif when that is very likely unattainable to me. I have muscle (under this fat). I like being strong. So this is my journey of becoming more fit and liking the fact that I will never, NEVER weigh 120 pounds.
