I Want To Get Healthy and Fit!
As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought
will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we
walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over
and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives.

As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought
will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we
walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over
and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives.
Walking exercises the whole person. It exercises the body-- it gives
the arms and legs a workout. It stimulates the flow of blood; expands
the lungs. It is gentle and relaxing. It exercises the mind-- it shakes
up the brain cells. It fills them with oxygen; drives out the cobwebs.
A famous scientist says he does his best thinking on the two miles
of sidewalk between his home and office.
Walking exercises the emotions. It gives you a chance to observe
and enjoy the world. Open your eyes to beauty. See the homes, the
trees, the gardens. See the shining faces of little children. Listen for
the church chimes, singing birds and the laughter of happy people.
Wilferd A. Peterson
When you have worn out your shoes, the strength of the shoe leather has
passed into the fiber of your body. I measure your health by the number
of shoes and hats and clothes you have worn out.

My Goals:
Above all do not lose your desire to
walk. Every day I walk myself into a state
of well being and walk away from every illness. I have walked myself into my best thoughts and I know of no thought so burdensome that one cannot walk away
from it. But by sitting still, and the more
one sits still, the closer one comes to
feeling ill. . . if one keeps on walking
everything will be alright.

There are many ways to burn extra calories, and we all have many opportunities every day to do so. We can park far away from the store or work and walk in--even if we're just 200 yards away, that's a quarte
