What is better than a box of chocolates on Valentines Day? An exercise machine! We gave ourselves the gift of health...instead of "death by chocolate". ;) An Elliptical is a wonderful way to ease into shape. It works your upper arm area, the tummy, and legs...a full body work out~for sure! I've lost at least 3 inches or more around my waist!! No joke. The benefits; I feel better, can actually fit into some clothes that were once headed for Goodwill. Amazing what exercise can do. :)
I'm limiting sweets, carbs, cholesterol. Drinking more water. We like filtered water the best; less waste of throwing away plastic. I actually add water to fizzy drinks...there's a reason... I can't handle too much acid. Something to do with having an ulcer. Chocolate is a big no-no. Well....I will allow myself to have a little after all its hard to quit. Caffeine is non-existent in my daily life. So, it does take me a little longer to get started in the mornings. ;) But I seem to manage.
Plus--exercise really does help to reduce stress! Really. And it beats having to pay a membership to a gym. That part alone sold me. ;)
I'm trying little by little to "jump-start" this blog. I hope you all like the changes I've made.
