Hi all y’all, This message goes out to all the members of the Texas Walks group as well as anyone else. Let me begin by saying… I LOVE MY PACER APP! It’s been so helpful at reminding me to stay focused on my overall health goals. BUT… I am DONE with all the ‘messages’ from strangers (mostly men) who say things like: ‘Hey, Beautiful…’ or ‘Looking good xoxo’ or simply ‘💋😚.’ And then there are the people who message with TOTALLY inappropriate things like, ‘Hey, Sexy. Tell me about yourself.’ Uh, NO. Then there the folks (men and women both) who post images of themselves in skimpy lingerie clothes showing WAY TOO MUCH skin. Seriously? That’s NOT cool. Remember - Pacer is an app to help to help folks get into a healthy frame of mind! Pacer is neither a dating app, nor is a place to share images of oneself that come across as lewd, graphic, or overtly sexual.

Woke up to a gorgeous sunshine this morning. Yes, it’s cold out, but when the sun shines bright and beautiful on a day like today - take it as a sign… the ☀️ is on our side.

It’s early February & the Texas weather is all over the place! In the Austin area we’re expecting highs from the mid 70s up to high 80s for the next 4-5 days before another cooldown. But hey, that’s Central Texas for ya! I own a pet service, so everyday I’m out walking pups. I never know what I’ll deal with so far as being outdoor! Aside from having my safety items in my backpack & fresh water, I carry walking sticks if any my 🐾-clients are in the mood for walking the nature trails since the weather is getting nicer. And then there’s the OTHER stuff I keep available in my 🚘 trunk - A mid-weight jacket, light jacket, & raincoat. I have a knit hat, baseball cap, & a sunhat. Sunscreen & UV resistant pullover if I’m wearing short sleeves. I also have 🧦 & 👟🥾, in the trunk as I walk thru grass w/morning dew & areas where sprinklers have been running. And sometimes there’s 🐶💩 - EWW!!! What do YOU always have with/you when yo walk, Texas?
