    I just have to tell you that I love, love, love your blog. I read it everyday and you are such an inspiration to me. You are a really good writer too. It is so awesome that you have kept off all of your weight. I would say, though, that the best part I like about your blog is the exercise part. I know all about diets and calories but exercise is new for me. I love how you and Michael try different activities such as snowshoeing, hiking, biking, swimming, heck, even gardening. My hubby and I went kayaking yesterday for two hours and that was a good upper body workout. We also are taking swing dancing lessons on Thursday nights. I have the same Polar heart monitor you do but I want to get a device that keeps tract of my mileage too. Thanks for a great blog with great pictures too. christi from CT

      Thank you for the compliments Christi! I’m glad you enjoy reading my blog. Doing the fitness stuff keeps it fun and interesting. Doing the same workout all the time in the gym is not my preferred method of keeping fit! I would much rather play outside.

      How did you like kayaking? I’ve been wanting to try that for years and just haven’t done it yet. It looks like so much fun!

        the kayaking was really nice. I could feel the work on my shoulders and biceps much like the weight machines at the gym. We rented a tandem kayak for 2 hours along the CT shoreline at the mouth of a river. The water was calm, no tipping which can be scary, and we saw some really nice homes, boats, and wildlife. That is what is nice about kayaking, you can get a really close up view of all sorts of birds and fish. I went in Bar Harbor Maine where you could see straight down about 6 feet and it was awesome. Long Island Sound is not so clear. You and Michael should try it. The kayaks had seats and cup holders and were very comfy. Glad to help and give you some fitness ideas since you have given me so many. You really do inspire me to think of new things to do with my hubby for exercise. Thanks again, christi

          We almost went on a kayaking/camping trip two summers ago with some friends that do it a lot and then they canceled and we never found someone else to go with us. It’s definitely high on my “to do” list!
