Walking is such a wonderful activity, and we do it everywhere we go. We're visiting in the state of Virginia this week, where the locals experienced a "Snowpocalypse" just two weeks ago. We are here having a great time visiting three of our grandchildren, but managed to slip out for an hour to go exploring the trails in the green spaces in this neighborhood. The going was a bit slippery in places, but we enjoyed the outing even though our walk was more of a stroll than an aerobic event. And yes, we are still walking in circles: looping through the woods to end up right back where we started. We even took a few pictures to share! Hope you're all having a great week, and that you are getting out for some interesting walks, too. :)
A good inspiration to all of us to get out and walk in spite of the weather! We're having rainy days here - kind of like the cloudy skies in the last photo.
Admittedly, Sarah and I skipped our walk yesterday. It was snowing really wet snow all morning and afternoon. Hopefully it'll be a little nicer today though. Glad you braved the cold to bring us these pictures!

Why Another Blog?
Katie: Because I've been inspired by my friend Melissa and I have finally decided to do something about it. Because I finally believe it IS possible for me to get rid of my extra pudgy tummy. Because I'm the kind of person who feels social pressure and will do better if I know I'm reporting to all of you about what I eat and how much I weigh and what I'm doing to exercise. Because, let's be honest--I want to be skinny.
Kathy: Because I've been gradually doing the addition thing on the scale, and I'm embarrassed to admit it after working so hard to lose 30+ pounds a couple of years ago. It's time to start subtracting again, and I know it will help me to be accountable to someone besides the secret voices inside my head. I'm tickled to have Katie as a weight-loss buddy!
