Some Inspiration from Nature

"Write it on your heart that every day is the best day of the year." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

To live up to my week 3 goal of starting to get my stress under control - hubby and I decided to make the best of the fall weather and do some hiking on Sunday. There are some nice canyons to hike in not far from our house. We also want to start getting some hikes in as we intend to some hiking on our November vacation to Hawaii!

We had a nice time wandering through the trails, enjoying the woods and the beautiful rock formations. It was great to just get away from the house, the cell phone, the computer and enjoy the outdoors. Hubby got to indulge in his habit of photography - I got to do my part and do some photo editing.

By the time we were done - hubby and I were both beat (my legs were really feeling it as I had did a long cardio session with a killer lower body session the day before). It felt great to get out, enjoy the fresh air and get the heart rate up.

The resulting impact - it was amazing how much it impacted my mood and well being to get out and get away from everything. All week I have found myself reflecting back on that hike and looking forward to the next one. It also got me inspired to focus, focus, focus on my plan - to get results!
