Walking is suppose to be the greatest exercise. It doesn't cost anything, you can do it almost anywhere you are, you can do it almost everyday (if you live in our city) and you don't need anyone else to do it with it. The only problem is that for me it is so boring and I guess that is why I cannot use it as a form of exercise to lose weight. As my daughter says "Mom, everyone walks faster than you". Even my MIL walks faster than me and I have to keep up most of the time.
As I mentioned in my yesterday's blog, we were at the Yosemite National Park. There were a lot of tourist, people biking, hiking, walking and even swimming at some of the brooks or some body of water, maybe a small river. We took the free shuttle from one area to the next, walk a little, walk a lot (for me it was definitely a lot). There were some height involve and of course the fear of the unknown. To make the long story short it was more traumatic than enjoyable.
The best part of our weekend was playing the slots at the casino, hanging out in the pool, even included a tennis game Australian style with our friends Carlos and Katrina. Of course we also celebrated the boys birthday by going out to a nice dinner at the restaurant Nativo which was at the Casino/hotel. Check out our picks for that night.

No wonder, your cholesterol level is up. Yummy food but you have to watch it.
ReplyDeleteAll the food looks good. I have to agree with Tita about why your cholestrol level is up. Which meal was yours?
