saturday in madison.

This Saturday was well spent. Steven and I made our way to Madison, IN to spend the day together. That afternoon we walked around Madison exploring the little shops they have. It was fun to go somewhere so different from Louisville and we were lucky enough to have the perfect Fall weather.



Around 5 pm the shops began to close. (Crazy, I know!) Then, Steven and I went to this adorable little coffee shop called Madison Coffee and Tea. We sat around and talked for about an hour. I loved being able to sit by the window and see the scenery of Madison rather than a busy road like we are used to at home.

When we finished up our coffee, we made our way down to the river. There they had a "Scenic Tour." Basically, it was a lighted walking path along the Ohio river. Steven and I spent the majority of our evening walking the path. 


How exactly does this relate to "Healthy Living?" The whole point is Steven and I could have spent the day sitting around on the couch watching Netflix (which we love to do), but instead we spent the day walking around a new place. Just because you aren't throwing your running shoes on and heading to the gym or eating a salad instead of a hamburger, doesn't mean you aren't making "healthy" choices. I strongly believe one of the first steps to creating a healthy lifestyle that will be permanent  is to live a more active lifestyle. Don't spend all of your free time laying on a couch staring at a television.
