On The Move

Hello!  It's been too long since I posted here, due to a cross-country move I made recently.  Yes, in the middle of the semester my sweet husband and I moved from Michigan to Seattle, Washington.  I had never even been west of the Rockies before this! 

The troubles with eating while traveling weren't too bad this time.  We drove, it seemed like forever, and didn't overeat while traveling.  Of course, we didn't get any exercise, either.  Settling in while trying to keep up with school, though, has led to a couple of pizza runs.  Tsk, tsk. 

The good news is that Seattle is hilly!  Not only does it look pretty with its houses sitting on terraced hills, but the terrain helps keep most people in good shape here.  We are within walking distance of a small area of shops, restaurants, and our main grocery store, and to walk there means climbing quite a hill coming back.  We've seen elderly people walk up hills that steep while we have to stop and rest.  I keep thinking that if I were to walk up these hills every day, it would get a lot easier.  That is my new goal for maintaining fitness--not to walk these hills necessarily every single day, but several days per week.
