This morning was the second day in a row I went on a 2.5 mile hike with the doggo. I have a few neat parks by me and this one has a stream with two small waterfalls.

Obviously it’s only the second day, but I hope to keep it up. This hilly 2.5 mile loop burns about 800 calories according to Alltrails, and I did manage to lose quite a bit of weight the last time I hiked regularly.

I highly recommend hiking, it can be as easy or as hard as you like, and it is a great way to get some quiet time to yourself if that is something you are craving.

      Go do it! I was pushing it off for months and now I am waking up when I want to (before 5:30am), feeling better about myself, and I’ve shed a few pounds. Just take it slow, and I recommend AllTrails to keep track of adventures.

    Don’t forget to tick check yourself! And obviously make sure your dogs have their meds.

    That’s a beautiful wood, though. Particularly adore your waterfall.

      For sure. Our cub scout pack just had a camping trip and in one hour I had removed three of them. We are in NJ and they are everywhere.

        Are you getting them tested for Lyme? I don’t actually know the range of it, but I heard it’s been spreading.
