Today's Challenge: Enjoy your Saturday but please make it an active one. There are lots of ways to keep moving. Gardening and yard tending, walking with a friend, checking out a local farmer's market or going for a bike ride are a few of the many possibilities!

Although we don't typically have a formal challenge on the weekends, we hope you'll chime in and let us know what fun activities you're doing this weekend!
I'm going for a walk! The fall foliage here in northern New England is beautiful!
Enjoy your weekend!0 -
The Farmers' Market is part of my Saturday morning chores. I'll meet up with my sister there, and we'll head off to a workout at Curves. Sunday I'm hoping to do a bit of dancing practice after church, but I'll see if I'm able to rustle up a few victims, I mean partners.

This weekend is Thanksgiving here in Canada. For us we have a dinner planned out at a restaurant late this afternoon. Because I was ill 1 day this week, I am still catching up on house stuff this AM, and plan to do my 30 minutes exercising tonight. I will read the supplemental reading later on.
We do have a hike planned for Monday though.1 -
That article is great motivation - especially for those of us trying to age gracefully!1

It's a little rainy here, but so far, I've been able to walk 1.5 miles outside. Later, I'm going shopping and walking all over the place. Exercise + Retail Therapy = Sheer Joy!!1

We met up with another couple at our town's farmers market here in Germany and ended up walking about town for about an hour or so. I didn't get the steps in that I would have liked to today, but it was a good day.2

Today we walked to a local restaurant. Later in the day we took the dog for a walk. I am in the process of getting ready for a vacation and trying on clothes to see what fits and start packing!2

Went thrift store shopping with my daughter. Found some good stuff and got in a lot of steps!2
