A truly beautiful day here in Everett (about 25 miles north of Seattle). My hubby & I took a nice 45 minute long walk . . . felt really good to get out and moving! After our walk, we went into Seattle for lunch (Thai) and a movie (Dallas Buyers Club). I just started MFP on Sunday and today was my first time eating in a…
