Friends and Fitness!!

I am really lucky to have several friends that have encouraged my healthy lifestyle without even knowing it! I am surrounded by people who make exercise a part of their regular routine.

That's great for ME for many reasons.

1) It's usually pretty easy to find someone to take a walk with when I'm not in the mood to go alone, which is often.

2) I find it much easier to walk at a faster pace when I'm with someone! I'm only 5'5" with the legs of a.....hmmmmmm......5'2" person.

3) Chatting with your girlfriends can make for GREAT therapy!! And I need a LOT of therapy!

Thursday morning I organized a group walk to First Watch, which is approximately 2.5 miles up the road. We set a good pace and headed out for a yummy breakfast!

We only had to stop once for a traffic light! Photo opp!!!!







After fighting the humidity, we arrived, not craving a hot coffee so much now.......

Thanks girls for making my 5 mile walk so much more pleasant!!





I had my usual Egg White, Spinach, Feta, Turkey Sausage Omelette and ordered (1) Carrot Cake pancake for the six of us to share.....um...it is completely delicious! You might notice, I took a bite out of it first. I was THAT excited!!
