One of the secrets to a successful diet and exercise program is to have a buddy doing it with you. So to support DH in his quest to lose 12 pounds by the first of summer . . . well, around here the first of summer is actually Memorial Day . . .I’ve invited him to join me in my walking each morning for 30 minutes. 

It’s really cold this time of year, but we are somewhat used to it and we have lots of great cold weather gear. The cold air just makes me want to walk faster, and that’s good for the exercise value.

So we headed out this morning just as the sun was coming up. It was very invigorating to be outside just before dawn and see the beautiful sunrise over our new home in the hills.  And it was nice to have company for a change!
