Lose weight the fun way.

Posted on August 23, 2014

Just got back from a walk on Terrace Trail it is a 2.06 mile walk that changes elevation several times. The lowest point to the highest is 100 ft difference. It is very wooded but a good trail to walk. This is my second time walking it and I've enjoyed it both times.

I pasted several couples and the only two single people that were on the trail was me and one lady. It just so happens that we were the two largest or lets just say it - FAT people of the group and only ones walking by ourselves. Being overweight is not only detrimental to our physical health it also works on our mental health and well being.

Great blog Barry. Interesting that you noticed the "aloneness" aspect of your journey. One thing I've noticed is that I'm alone until I invite someone to join me. One thing I am realizing is that so many people are alone and would love to be invited to join in an activity, a walk, a meal, a connection...it really doesn't matter. I think all of us want to be included. It's also interesting that it isn't just people of a larger size but we do tend to isolate ourselves more than the average isolated being. Hmmm...you make me think and that's a good thing. Perhaps you could invite someone else to join you...just a thought.

Barry what a good blog and you are so right, our physical, mental and well being.. your hike sounded fantastic, I told my husband I need a change of pace of walking either up our mtn or down it, same o same o daily....I need to go walk along the river, we have a beautiful greenway that goes about 6 miles, someday I want to master the whole round trip, it either by walking or biking....have a good rest of the day and thank you for such a nice story......

Nice walk there Barry :-) Being overweight does effect every part of us, I totally agree. Time to change that though~
