Apparently, a good number of people had the same idea as hubby and I last Sunday.  And that was to head out to Lady Bird Lake (also known as Town Lake) and make the most of the beautiful weather.

I was pleasantly surprised with the number of people I saw at the lake!  At least, many are making an effort to get off their behinds and do something with valuable health benefits, us included!  People were walking, jogging or biking on the trail around the lake.  People of all ages from children, to adults to couples to moms and dads with baby jogger city strollers to groups to individuals were very well represented.  It was a good day all right.  And my family’s gonna be bonding like this a lot from now on.

These past few days have brought us beautiful sunny days and last weekend, we got movin’.  Late Saturday afternoon, hubby, little daughter and I spent an hour outdoors, just around our neighborhood.  The little girl was on her bike while hubby and I jogged/walked alongside her.  We did this for a total of 2.8 miles to and from our house.  We had so much fun that the next day, we found ourselves at the Lady Bird Lake in Downtown Austin.  We did a little over 4 miles on Sunday.  Soon, we hope to do the entire 10miles around the Lady Bird Lake.   If I maintain this level of activity, I dare say I won’t be needing hydroxycut after all. Hee hee.
