I'll be walking The Way of St James soon - May 26! Here's where I will post my day to day wanderings and wonderings.
Last week I was super excited - I've lost 15 pounds, thanks to Weight Watchers, which means I have lost more than what I will be carrying with me, and hopefully I'll lose a few more before I leave. I am training almost every day - long walks and hills. I know it isn't enough - I still haven't gone over 14 miles. I'm sure I can do it, but I seem to not have enough time in the day. I do get in at least my 10,000 steps a day, even if I don't do a training walk.
Yesterday after mass, I shared with Fr Oakland that I have been getting the jitters and a lot of anxiety lately. The excitement I felt last week suddenly turned to depression and worry about not being able to do it. Not raised Catholic, I didn't know about the prayer to Saint Michael the Archangel, which he shared with me. The Camino is already providing.
The exuberance is back, and for that I am grateful today.
