Keeping Up

I hope everyone enjoyed their Valentine's day. Like most of us, I had my share of treats last Thursday to commemorate this "holiday." However, the husband and I celebrated it on February 16 & 17 since he had school on Valentine's day.

I put Charlie in charge of coming up with the weekend festivities since I'm usually the one in charge of planning everything. While I did give him some suggestions on what we could do, he did manage to surprise me and make the weekend very special in our own way.

Just last week I read how couples can stay together and keep the "flame" alive by just working out together a few times a week. Along with this, on last week's episode of The Biggest Loser, Olivia, one of the past winners talked about how her and her husband go on fit dates. What are fit dates? They are dates that are about getting your heart moving and being active.

So what did we end up doing for our Valentine's weekend? We strolled through Mead Gardens in Winter Park and then spent a little over two hours in Wekiva Springs on a 13 mile bike trail. There was sand, wetland, hills, and more on our adventurous ride. While it was not the typical romantic date most people has, it was very fitting for us and I enjoyed the workout since I got to eat whatever I wanted.
