My 2 cents on walking

I just wanted to add to Becky's post. Another benefit of walking/jogging or whatever aerobic exercise you choose...............it does wonders for your mental state. There are days I will be feeling a bit down and out...............it's gray outside.................I'm worrying about whatever..............................and I'll lace up the shoes...........stick my ipod earphones in my ears...........................and head out the door. I can honestly say that I have never returned home not feeling better. Never. It doesn't make all the "feelings" go away but it's a proven fact the endorphins are released and endoprphins are natures antidepressants.

It's a fact........it works.............it helps keeps us healthy................helps keep the weight off......................IT'S ALL GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
