Thanks for the ideas!!! :D Report
I have knee problems so taking stairs is not my forte. I have started working out in the pool. The water takes a load off my feet while providing resistance training.
My next goal is to do my physio exercises daily. I have been a bit sporadic of late.
Thanks for sharing and expanding my knowledge. Report
Also I just got blueberries today to put in oatmeal. :-) Report
Good blog Report
Think in terms of halves when it comes to food -- one piece of toast (instead of two) or half an English muffin for breakfast, half a sandwich, half a baked potato, half an omelet, 1 1/2 pancakes instead of 3 for a serving, a tall skinny latte instead of a grande -- you get the picture. These are all small changes that add up to big losses in the weight department, and allow me to eat a full range of foods. Nothing is off limits. I can have half a serving of French fries or half a brownie, too.
By the way, my variation for 2013 is to double the activity portion of my lifestyle, too. More small changes. Report
