The Let's Move! website is looking a lot better & more interactive these days. Encourage the White House by visiting the site & using it for inspiration (& some cool tools).

PS: Really trying to pick up the pace & length of posts...but life is not cooperating. Thanks for sticking around. (And for the emails of concern. Return emails forthcoming - promise!)

The White House is celebrating the second anniversary of Let's Move, the program the First Lady started to solve the problem of childhood obesity. Visit their website & be inspired (no matter where you live). Whether you live with children or not; whether you wrangle a redheaded feline (or not), you need to get out for a walk. Even if you're not living in one of the 25 best walking cities (we do, hooray), you need to get out for a walk. If you use the word flâneur you'll feel even better about the whole business. There you go, out for a stomp...but remember to stop at a café or to admire a view. ciao-meow/GGCM(photograph by Aya Brackett)
We're off for a drive (& a walk) in the country & to visit friends & family. What else are holiday weekends for? OK, many of you will be shopping, either online or walking on your two little feet. Take a break, either way, & visit a nearby park/museum. GG's editor was pleased to see that Brookside Gardens is a member of the First Lady's Let's Move - Museums & Gardens. Check to see if your favorite park or museum is on the list. Then take yourself on a walk, even to the corner store. You'll feel so much better.
Good luck to both teams tomorrow. We have to remain neutral at GG Central (it's better this way). If you're in the States & are concerned about the health of our children, check out Let's Move. If you're anywhere, check out Jamie Oliver's campaigns, here.
