I have been making a conscious effort to eat less and walk more as part of my "lifestyle change" regimen. The P.A. used this gentle way of telling me to lose weight and lower my cholesterol which has always been OK until recently. It's especially difficult when one goes out to eat, as we did last night, but I did pretty well. First of all, I did a little walking, first in the mall and later from the Old Labor Hall to the restaurant and back, a good half mile, for dinner with Paul and Fred. I chose a falafel burger, with salad rather than fries on the side or pizza. Absolutely no dessert and, thankfully, no wine (the house variety costs $10 at this particular place). Eating at home is easier to control. Tonight I'll make a pork tenderloin with vegetables.
Our Tuesday morning walk went up to Barclay Quarry and back, over 7,000 steps, and everyone seemed o enjoy it. It has been very humid and last night's rains made the forest quite steamy.
Here's some ragweed I noticed near Barclay Quarry this morning.
As Suzy says, for an ugly flower, it sure causes trouble for some people. Some mistake goldenrod for ragweed, but that isn't usually allergenic. In fact, goldenrod looks really nice in bouquets with asters at this time of year.
Even though I don't like to have a schedule, I will miss the Tuesday morning walks when they're over at the end of September. Our little group of "regulars" is nice, and I enjoy introducing newcomers to the trails.

it sounds like you are trying - good luck to you! right now with us traveling what we do for exercise to break up the days drive is stop at big box stores or Wal-Mart Super Centers every 1.5 to 2 hours - we walk 3 or 4 laps around the store, pick up anything we need and go drive some more and repeat - sometimes 2 or 3 times until we get to our campground then after supper weather permitting we walk the campground as well. Trying to eat healthy too and it is hard traveling but trying! We are getting in close to 10,000 steps a day and on the road for 7 or 8 hours with stops to bring it up
