Since I began my weight loss journey I have changed my eating habits considerably. I now love to eat fresh fruits and vegetables. I now go to my local Farmer's Market on Saturday mornings after my walk. I now love to eat seasonally.

Farmer's markets are the best. Last week I was told that I got the last of the bing cherries for the season and I will miss them. I'm looking forward to the artichokes though. Yum

I used to be able to get fresh fruit from family on the farm but they are not growing as much since they got older but now I have to turn to the farmes markets. Love it.

Think globally, act locally. That's what you're doing by eating seasonally and from the Farmer's Market. Through SparkPeople, I, too, now love the taste and smell of the fresh veggies and fruit and I'm eating more of them. Good for you. Keep it up. Lynne Report Inappropriate Comment |

Great way to think about food and nutrition not to mention the budget. I wish I lived in an area more conducive to year round local produce. I always get so jealous when I visit my daughter in CA and can eat so much more healthfully from local food. At least that is easier to do here in the north during summer months.

Fortunately for us, our primary produce grocery store has a buy-local program, since the only farmer's market we get here seems to specialize in breads and baked goods, wines, and pillows and crafts! I rarely stop because there is rarely anything I want to buy. There is one vegetable stand that I frequent in the late summer for zucchini and summer squash and fresh beans, but all in all I do better at Hannaford.

That is a wonderful new habit! I love the taste of fresh fruits and vegetables during their season. And you are right, they are much more economical...and they actually last longer than their hothouse friends.

What a great new habit you have formed. It's great to support your local growers as well.

I really enjoy my walk. It has been getting too hot and humid to walk after work so I am only able to walk now early in the morning on weekends. I have to do some other type of exercise during the week. Sooo, I really enjoy getting out and listening to nature and watching the wildlife at the park.
There are a lot of squirrels...they will sit there and look at you until you are right up beside them. Ha!
There are soccer fields and baseball fields one side of the park and the zoo is on the other side. There are several of these bridges spanning the creek between them.
It is raining now so I don't think I will get to walk today. Sigh.
Keep sparking!

Nice pics! I agree, it is too hot to walk after work. So I try to do 2 miles in the morning and 2 miles after 8 at nite. Kind of messes with my sleep though. :o(

What a lovely place to walk! I use walking videos a lot, but they are not pretty. I would much rather walk outdoors if the weather cooperates.

That bridge is GORGEOUS! It looks like something from Anne of Green Gables or something!

Looks like a great place to walk. I know what you mean about it getting to hot and humid to walk after work. I'm kind of bummed about that one. So, it's going to be interesting trying to find other ways to get my workouts in each day.
