Baby Steps

During the past year I have tried to incorporate a few "healthy" tidbits into my life. I know it's not much but you have to start somewhere!

The first thing I did was give up drinking soft drinks. I know you hear of so many people that say they loose weight from stopping the soft drink binge but I can say that it has not happened to me. The one thing that my friend Stephanie says it's done for me is help my complexion and I have to say, I think it really has. The only thing I really drink is water, the good ole H2O and Diet Lipton Green Tea (1 to 2 a day).

The second thing is taking Vitamin C at least one time a day if not two (1000mg). I have noticed a HUGE difference in my immune system. I have not had a cold in quite a long time and when I do feel like I'm coming down with something I double up. Now, at the moment I have a little sinus infection, but even with that I can tell a huge difference in the way I feel.

So, I have a few other things I want to try but until I have success with them, I'll keep them to myself. Sometimes, I think I give up too quickly on myself so I don't want to divulge anything until I stick with it for a while.

What have you given up or started doing to enhance your body and or mind?

Starting Today

I am on a mission to loose weight! For the past year and 1/2 I have put on the weight and starting today, I'm going to shed it. I started walking/running a few weeks ago and it doesn't seem to be taking the pounds off. So, I'm going to try some other things in an effort to help me. My Mom says to keep a food journal so that I can keep track of what I eat and I'm going to start that. I also need to incorporate more fruits and vegetables in my diet, so I'm going this afternoon to stock up!

Do you have any ideas or suggestions on things you have done to loose weight and keep it off?

I need to get on the ball.....

This is ridiculous! It's the 2nd day in a row that a picture of a svelte physic has come out and I'm realizing at 35, I've got some work to do to get in better shape. Valerie (from yesterday) is 48, Jenny is 36, just one year older than I am, and I look nothing like these beautiful women. I know they have some airbrushing to their pictures, but even so they look fabulous.

What an inspiration to get in shape.
