Having a dog in my life definitely adds more steps to my day! I find that I am more motivated to take longer walks as well as getting outside for a short walk during the day. Welcome to Peanut, a 9-year-old Shibu Inu mix. She's my granddog. Her full name is Princess Peanut Brittle and she is living with my husband and myself after a couple of minor incidents when my grandson was playing with her dog toys. While she is a lovely sweet dog, she really can't be trusted with a baby who crawls and grabs dog toys and fur. All of us agreed that we didn't want any major incidents!

Getting Outside on More Walking Trails

I never realized how many walking trails that there are about 5 to 10 miles from my house. This spring I've been taking advantage of them and getting more minutes than I was last year. Several reasons for my increased walking: A new dog in my household Now that I'm vaccinated, I'm not as worried about the pandemic I'm using walking as one of the stress relievers in my life Even with juggling obligations, it's easier to fit in than other exercise Last week I mentioned some of the walking trails that Peanut and I have ventured on and I thought I'd do an update this week. She already knows when we are getting ready to go and gets excited to be walking trails. This past week...

I tried a new to me kind of veggie burger this week called Beyond Burger. Does this count as part of the veggie challenge? I'm not sure, because this sure felt like cheating! Just to clarify, I am a meat eater but want to have something on hand when vegetarian family members are here for lunch. I've tried Boca Burgers and like the original version...

Springtime Hiking

Fit and Strong, Hiking

Don't you love springtime hiking? It makes life feel glorious, don't you think? It's spring here in Ohio and flowers are beginning to bloom. Trees have blossoms on them but there's still a look of winter because the trees don't have leaves on them yet. I've gotten out to local parks and hiked trails that I haven't been on in quite a while. Some are actually brand new to me. In the photo above, I hiked a new trail (to  me, that is) with my son. It is part of the Edgewater Beach park in Cleveland. Because of the Covid-19 shutdowns last year, I ended up not hiking much any time of the year because the parks were so crowded with people who couldn't go shopping or dining...

2021 Step Goal

Time to check in on my 2021 step goal! We've just finished the first quarter of 2021 and I thought I should see how I'm doing with my Fitbit stats. Last year, I resolved over half way through the year that I was going to try to beat my 2019 statistics and I managed to do that. When I looked at my Fitbit numbers for the past seven years, I saw that 2016 was my best year. I was doing a lot of running that year so it's not surprising. I decided that for 2021, I would beat my best and get 5,000,000 steps by the end of the year. In order to reach this goal, I need to walk an average of 13,700 steps a day....

You're going to like this Green Goodness Salad Dressing.  I recently reviewed the Wild About Greens cookbook by Nava Atlas and thought I would try to make something out of the cookbook.
