Daily Exercise


May I emphasize how important daily exercise is?

It is VERY important! Cardio, Strength Training, and Stretching is very important. One of my favorites ways to exercise is to run and jog outdoors. Windy and rainy days are more fun with a friend, you tend to get some good laughs in too while you are out there shivering!

What kinds of things to you like to do for exercise? Walking dogs, jump rope, power push ups? Find the things that your body loves. You will exercise better and find it easier to do every day when you find someone you feel good at.

February beginnings!


Hello everyone,

Well. What an amazing first month! After reading the book and getting my groceries, I started out on a good pace. Cooking was difficult to do because I haven't had to put cooking into my schedule. I felt like I didn't have the time. I am not domestic by any means, so the cooking did take a little longer for me to do than the average person. I was very impressed how good the food tasted!

I managed to exercise as the book insisted for 2 weeks, as well as the constant eating! I felt more awake. I slept better. I was focused. I hardly pulled (you trichsters will understand!). I lost 4 pounds, and felt tighter around my waist. What did I do wrong?

I was only prepared for 2 weeks. After the second Saturday, I had no more food in my fridge. All of a sudden, it was an instant excuse to go to Carl's Junior. So, for the past 2 weeks, I have been eating nothing but junk food. I haven't had enough energy to go out and exercise. I gained 7 pounds. AND, I think I am going to start my menstrual cycle early. My body is in pain and I feel pretty agitated.

So, Monday I am back at it again, and I hope not to make the same mistake! Let's get it started! Again!
