Exploring My Surroundings

A couple of weeks back, I told you I was going to Weight Watchers and was searching for enjoyable ways to get more exercise. After all, the formula for weight loss is simple: Move More; Eat Less.

I decided to try walking. Walking doesn't require any special talents and I'd been doing it for years. I just needed to amp it up a bit. I knew walking in circles on a track or around the same neighborhood would bore me fairly quickly. I decided I was going to explore the area around me to see what I could find. I was pleasantly surprised to find some of Mother Nature's beauty within minutes of my office. The first pathway I explored is near the post office I go to on my lunch breaks.

The pathway starts out straight and flat.

Then, it moves up and down
and all around a gorge.

Another turn leads to a babbling brook...

that rushes onward and down the falls.

I'm linking up to Outdoor Wednesday on a Southern Daydreamer.

Move More, Eat Less

I really need to exercise. I tell myself that every time I look in the mirror, step on the scale, or go clothes shopping.

The word exercise conjures up apparitions of…

unending sessions on medieval apparatuses at the gym…

quizzical stares…

and needing traction the day after a strenuous workout.

My Weight Watchers leader says to pick something you enjoy so you will look forward to it. Move more, eat less! It’s that simple. Hmm…

Perhaps ~ if I exercise, I will exorcise the fat from my body. That's It! That will be my new mantra!

How do you fit fun exercise into your day?
