Rachel, Editorial Assistant

I still love my pedometer, but now I have a new motivation to get outside for a walk—company. Honestly, it makes such a difference. Last Friday was free scoop day at Baskin-Robbins and even though it was cold and windy outside a few of the editors and myself gathered up the courage to take a brisk walk to get a scoop 4 blocks away. Yes, we were getting ice cream, but we were also walking so the calories consumed cancelled out the calories burned, right? Well even if it didn’t we had a blast on our work break, enjoyed a little treat, and increased our mileage on those pedometers. Next time you need a break from work, gather the troops and head outside, whether it’s for a treat or to gossip.
