A pic of a cake on a walking blog?

I know! I should probably take it down. but...

Walk 365 is different. This isn't a count calories, measure inches, weigh weekly, omit foods (at least not yet) kind of project.

It's about walking. I've learned going for walks is kind of special. and I feel more like a human on this planet after a month of walking than I have in years.
