A few months ago, I finally made the decision to take control of my health and well-being, which included eating smarter and exercising more. Last fall, I began walking on Sunday mornings and discovered not only a greater appreciation for nature, but a much needed boost to my self-esteem and outlook on life. I even lost a few pounds, toned and strengthened my muscles, too. I feel so much better now and want to continue this journey with others that are willing to do the same. Nothing fancy, just …

I think talking about our obstacles and encouraging each other to stay co …

When I say lifestyle change, I mean seriously, a change not a temporary fix to lose weight but an actual change in your life . lets try to do that together and make new fri …

There are many fantastic groups in the city, just too long of a drive for me sometimes... So I decided to start my own and see how it goes. This group is for dog owners that love walks and scouting some new places around, going to dog friendly parks/places.
