Danielle, Assistant Photo Editor

One of my other passions, besides photography, is movie-watching. I can sit on my couch for hours and hours watching movies... One after another, after another, after another. I have even been dubbed the Netflix queen by some of my closest friends. The problem is that as much as I love spending my time curled up on the couch all day with my dog and a bag of Healthy Pop, I know it is not good for my health or well-being, especially when it is so gorgeous outside. It was evident that I had to make a change, but I knew that there was no way I could cut out movies altogether, so I made a deal with myself... I would allow myself to watch some movies as long as I would commit to taking time before and after each movie to take a walk. Since I have started this, I have been surprised at how much better I have been feeling, and how my weekends actually seem longer. My dog is loving the new system too!
