Roni and I went to Randall's today for some light shopping. I needed to get out to walk and an air conditioned store seemed like a great location. We were there about an hour. I got a pretty good walk in. I didn't really help with the shopping that much because my lift limit is so low that I can't gauge it (Sorry, Roni). I can grab cans, bottles, etc that are clearly labeled for weight.
One thing really struck -- when the energy goes, it goes all at once. I was close to exhausted when we left the store. I am going to have to pay close attention to that on future walks. Paying attention to my body's signals hasn't been a strength for me in the past.
