The holiday season is now upon us as we enter into November, but I have already been in a pie baking frenzy for over a month now. A large part of this is because I have mass quantities of fruit that I want to preserve and use so that it does not go to waste, but I have also discovered that I really love making pies. With all of these extra calories around the house, it is easy to put on pounds. More than ever I am happy that I am a pedestrian so that I can burn off calories, and that I do not have to schedule gym sessions.
One of my favorite aspects of living in Southern California is watching the sun glimmer off the tops of palm trees, and witnessing a breath taking sunset as I am walking home around five or so. If you are stuck in a gym on a tread mill you will never be able to appreciate those things. Life is slower as a pedestrian, and I am thankful for this.
