My favorite "non exercise" is gardening, an activity I really enjoy, even the weeding part. It makes for a full body exercise, and the sight of a newly mulched bed, or weeded path is so rewarding. It DOES inevitably make me sore, but that is what rest and yoga are for.

Stay Focused, don't allow the squirrel get my attention. Keep my eye on the goal.

Meditate/Pray, give thanks and praise where it...
We all already know all the 'secrets' to health and fitness. It's all out there and there isn't one of us who doesn't know exactly what we need to do. Our bodies need us to exercise and get our heart pumping often. Our bodies need us to eat a variety of healthful foods in reasonable quantities. ...
Can't believe we've wrapped up another challenge. I came down roughly 2 lbs over this challenge (despite today's weigh-in weight).
I decided I needed to make sleep a priority in hopes it would facilitate weight loss. It's difficult making changes in sleeping habits and this week I hav...
