See that handsome man in the photo enjoying a Michelob ULTRA with me? That is my husband. We would both walk to the ends of the earth for each other if we had to, but we would much rather spend our time walking to the ends of the earth together because that’s how we fell in love. It’s also how we keep ourselves and our relationship active.

Relax for a bit and let me tell you all about our walking love story, consider it a tutorial on how to combine better-for-you living with healthy loving.

I wish you were here because if you were, I’d offer you a cold, crisp and refreshing Michelob ULTRA, with only 95 calories and 2.6 carbs. I’d also serve you up some sliced jicama sprinkled with chile and limón to snack on while we chat. Se me hace agua la boca just thinking about it.

You’re not here so you’re just going to have to make a mental note to go get you some Michelob ULTRA and a light snackity snack after I tell you about this walking love story of mine.

OK, here it goes! Once upon a time, before my husband became my husband, he was my friend. We met at work and began hanging out outside of work. We’d go for long walks and talk and talk and talk. Now, when I say long walks, I mean miles and miles. We’d have no particular destination in mind, we just enjoyed walking and talking.

Those walks and talks kept bringing us closer and closer together. Before we knew it we were walking hand in hand.

It became extremely clear to both of us that we were meant to walk through this world hand in hand. Seventeen years later we continue to walk together as much as possible. We take long walks together because it’s good for our active lifestyle, it keeps us connected as a couple and because we love it.

Some people find it hard to take 10,000 steps a day, for us that’s a piece of cake. Actually, it’s better than a piece of cake because it’s WAY better for you.

In the beginning, our walking dates would end with him walking me home and eventually heading back to his own place. Now, they end with us walking home together. It stands to reason that when we get home from our long walks, we’re tired and want to snack, enjoy an adult beverage, watch a flick and chill.

After spending all that time doing something that’s good for our bodies, it would be a shame to come home and eat and drink all the bad things, right? It’s all good though because we know we can sip on Michelob ULTRA, a great tasting premium beer, without breaking the bank on calories or feeling all heavy and full. They don’t call it “The Superior Light Beer” for nothing. It even has 50 less calories and 80% fewer carbs than Corona Extra!

Paired with jicama, cucumber or some kind of fruit sprinkled with chile and limón, we can snack and sip guilt-free.

I don’t know how this walking love story will end, but if things go my way we’ll be walking and toasting to our salud for many years to come.
