Exercise the natural way
Although I see some vigorous joggers and walkers, most of us here at Lakeside, Ohio, for vacation or the summer just get more exercise than usual because we don't use our cars. I might walk 10-12 blocks a day or ride my bike several miles and not even think about it. I'll ride my bike to a friend's house, rather than call on the cell phone. I think this is why our parents and grandparents didn't carry as much weight. During the day I might walk 3 blocks and back to the little grocery store, or 2-3 blocks to the little business district, or stroll a mile along the lakefront and not even notice it. It's a wonderful way to get around--when the weather's good.
But even exercise won't help poor eating. Yesterday I noticed an overweight mommy buying tickets for her three overweight children to a "craft" event that included building your own sundae!

I live in a very small town. We don't have a grocery store but we DO have a post office. I like to ride my bicycle to the post office and to deliver treats to friends. I often write a note to a friend who gets up much later than I do and I stick it in with their newspaper in the morning when I walk. I KNOW you're right about walking more; riding a bicycle & dropping in to deliver a message instead of using cell phone while driving, etc.
It contributes to the "simpler" lifestyle that everyone talks about achieving, but few take the simplest steps toward it!
