This morning was the second day in a row I went on a 2.5 mile hike with the doggo. I have a few neat parks by me and this one has a stream with two small waterfalls.

Obviously it’s only the second day, but I hope to keep it up. This hilly 2.5 mile loop burns about 800 calories according to Alltrails, and I did manage to lose quite a bit of weight the last time I hiked regularly.

I highly recommend hiking, it can be as easy or as hard as you like, and it is a great way to get some quiet time to yourself if that is something you are craving.

    Don’t forget to tick check yourself! And obviously make sure your dogs have their meds.

    That’s a beautiful wood, though. Particularly adore your waterfall.

      For sure. Our cub scout pack just had a camping trip and in one hour I had removed three of them. We are in NJ and they are everywhere.

        Are you getting them tested for Lyme? I don’t actually know the range of it, but I heard it’s been spreading.
