I Completely Forgot....

...about malls. While I continue to avoid my treadmill, which is lurking in the corner of my spare room, and we're buried in snow here in the Northeast with more on the way, I've been making excuses not to wake up a little earlier and exercise.

An article in the Pensacola News Journal reminded me that malls provide a great -- and warm -- opportunity to get some walking in. Even better, the scenery actually changes as you continue to walk, unlike a treadmill. Many malls even open early to allow walkers to come in and walk before the stores open, which is a great opportunity for those with 9 to 5 jobs or a bad shopping addiction. It's also a safe place to walk with no ice patches. I guess I don' have any more excuses.

Also it's worth noting that Livin' La Vida Low-Carb has posted a number of new blogs about weight loss that's worth checking out (yes, I made the list) and it looks like there's some great blogs out there, including some about losing the baby weight, so check it out.

And finally, if you like an English muffin in the morning, check out Thomas' Light English Muffins. There's EIGHT grams of fiber in each muffin and they taste like the low-fiber original. This may also be a great choice for those who are looking to watch their carbs.
