Today I headed out for my afternoon/lunch walk from work and ran into another duo headed out for their walk as well. And they are my buddies...so they invited me to join them on their trek to Costco. Costco is quite a bit farther away than the usual walking destination so I hesitated for a bit but then decided to join them.

We had a nice conversation and I was glad I joined. Funny how since establishing this habit of walking at lunch I really feel as if I need to do it. It is a part of me and the healthy routine I have created for myself. And I am always happy to have company. I have also noticed that the regular walkers are pretty darned dedicated vs the ones who talk about walking a lot but the never do it. And it is also notable that the ones who walk are distinctly less large than the ones who do. It really is a strong correlation.

So I am a true believer in the power of walking to assist in weight loss and maintenance, it has sure worked for me anyway!
