Healthy Habits

One serious lesson I took from living abroad is the importance of staying active. Coming back to the States, I really noticed how unhealthy so many Americans look when compared to Europeans.

I think it's because of our sedentary lifestyle. We are used to walking a few steps to our cars, getting in, and then driving to and from everywhere. Even if we are only going a quarter of a mile, we drive. I'm guilty of this myself, but I've been trying as hard as I can to break the habit. I've been walking to the grocery store and trying to finding excuses to get out every day to run other errands by foot or bike.

Lucky for me, we've been having unseasonably warm weather in Minnesota. The challenge will be keeping it up when the cold and snow arrive!
