Like some of my mag-mates below, I have become minorly obsessed with my pedometer. My friends were even joking that they are going to paint it blue for my wedding day, to be my "something blue." I think my dog Audrey is loving the Family Circle Walking Challenge more than anyone though. Her walks have doubled or tripled in length so far. She literally jumps for joy when I put on my sneakers.

In Linda's letter for the recent January issue, I was quoted as having made the resolutions for 2007 to eat healthier and exercise more, as well as to get involved with fundraising for charities like the ALS Associations Walk to D'Feet ALS, in memory of my dad. Well, thanks to the Family Circle Walking Challenge (as well as dietary changes, Jeopardy bike time, and setting up a Walk page on the ALSA-NY Saddle Brook site), I am actually turning my resolutions into reality this year. I am losing weight, feeling better than I have in a long time, and getting closer to my goals... one mile at a time. By the time I get to the ALS Walk in June, 5K will seem like a mere walk in the park!
