Hello, and welcome to our website....

Because of the cold weather here in Michigan, I have some extra time to do this to let you know what Bubba and I are up too. From a daily walk to our hiking trails throughout Michigan. On an avg. we try and get in about 6 miles a day walking, but rather try for at least 8 miles a day. I have the perfect partner for mobility to get in and around my town, Bubba..

I have been on a weight-loss goal since I had received him from Leader Dogs for the Blind in May of 2010. In the picture above I was 276 pounds, as of January 2012 I was down fifty pounds. Gone from a size 46 pants to 38, and from a 4X to 2X.. with still more to go. I plan on finishing this goal this summer and being down to my "doctors" suggested weight of 195. I have a team of doctors and a dear friend working with me, making sure I eat properly. More about that on our about Tom and Bubba page..

Now you want to talk about tennis shoes, I highly recommend Skechers, buy two pair so you can change them out every-other day. These will last you the summer, if you are walking the miles we are.  I have worn out both pair of Skechers to the insole of bottom of the foot in 10 months. Most tennis shoes I have found out only last about of 140 miles of walking, these are the 30 to 40 dollar pairs. Meaning every month you will be buying shoes.

Here you can see our daily walks, and get learn about us and our blazing trails we are setting at about 3.5 mph..
