Dangling the Carrot: The Three for One Deal

I needed some motivation to get outside, exercise, and get back into my photography hobby. So, I decided to combine all three at once. A few times a week I will take my camera outdoors and take pictures as I walk, jog, bike, etc, to where ever. My new project started today.

First, let me tell you that I also follow Calorie Restriction with Optimal Nutrition. I have another full time blog that I have been posting to for over 6 months now. This Kaleidoscopic-CRON Existence. I made a post about this new hobby on this blog earlier today, go HERE for that post.

I am basically using my urge to get outside and love of photography to inspire a regulate source of physical activity. Hence the "dangling carrot". My mind loves to employ all sorts of mental gymnastics to get to from point a to point b. In this situation, the results seem win-win-win. :-)

For today's adventure, I just stuck to my country neighborhood. My husband (QB) and I live on the side of a mini-mountain in North Virginia. Since I stayed cooped up all winter, I kept the activity part mellow today by combining walking and jogging. I want to build up to not only running, but also some serious trekking and maybe trail running so I can really open up the photo opportunities.

I will be playing around with the template colors, so expect some visual changes soon. 

I need to get a pedometer today because I want to keep track of my distance, too. I didn't go too far today, maybe 1-1.5 miles, but there were hills involved. Ummmm, hills.

Well, here are the photo results from today. Enjoy. (The birds are mine, btw)
