If you find that sticking with your commitments is a challenge, I know I do, today's episode is for you, and it's also for me.

Hi, I'm Dave. Welcome to Walking Us Fitness. This is a podcast that provides a little extra motivation to take a walk.

And today's 10-minute walk starts after this.

This guy's for today's 10-minute walk as I'm looking around.

I don't see any clouds.

A little bit of haze, but no clouds. But of course, because this is Myrtle Beach,

South Carolina, and this is the way things roll, there is the possibility for some thunderstorms

later this afternoon. But right now, we are rain free, and the threat of rain is not part of today's 10 minute walk.

So in my home office I have a bookshelf and on one of the shelves I have calendar books.

I use a moleskin every year.

It's a type of a calendar book.

I love it. And that moleskin serves as my daily calendar. It's where I put my to-do list. It's sort of kind of where I journal, not really journaling, but I'll write notes in that book, including at the beginning of the year,

I'll list all of my goals, my resolutions for the year.

And I've got, I think I started doing this in 2011, 2012.

So even before walking was part of my regular daily routine.

We still lived in Maryland at the time.

I was still part of a morning show.

At the time, most of our six children still lived with us.

One, maybe two had already left.

So we were still in that phase of active parenting.

In some ways, that life feels so much different from what's happening today, the life that I have today.

All six of our children are grown, they're gone.
