What We Did
So this Thanksgiving we decided to pack up the turkey and the ham and go hiking. We also took the kids and Blinkin. Blinkin is 8 pounds of love and happiness. He is also a chihuahua but that is besides the point.

So we hiked for about 3 hours up Picacho Peak to the Saddle and then back down. On the way down we stopped and had Thanksgiving dinner at the Thumb. A cave like opening in the face of the mountain that has a stone protrusion that my daughter says looks like a thumb.

A chipmunk considered joining us but between the excitement of seeing said chipmunk, Blinkin and the kids wondering why it wasn’t promoting its new christmas movie (we got jokes) the ‘munk decided not to join.

What We Will Do
Being fit is about days like this. Days with your family, doing things you love and being physically and mentally able to do them. Many times on the trip Angie mentioned how we wouldn’t have been able to make the hike before. She even opined on how it would have been for me to make the hike 60 pounds heavier. Breaking news: freaking impossible!

What About You
If you didn’t start a new tradition, that’s cool. The most important thing is to enjoy your friends, family and life. If that means hiking some remote hilltop do that! The fat to fit journey is a series of excellent choices highlighted by a mountain of fantastic memories.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
