Take 10!

Commit to just 10 minutes of exercise a day.
It makes such a huge difference both mentally and physically. Plus, on most days, after 10 minutes you'll just want to keep going!

Swingsets..

For fun I had an adult sized swingset built in an area I call MacGregor's Garden...with my collection of bunny rabbit statuary...and a large scarecrow...Mr. MacGregor. Swinging allows me to use both upper and lower body muscles and just glide when I get some momentum...and baffles the neighbors..lol...

Fail proof way to get in your 10 minutes every day

I do two sets of strength training exercises every time I go to the bathroom. I alternate upper body and lower body exercises every other day. My favorites are incline pushups and tricep dips using the bathroom vanity. Lower body favorites are squats, lateral lunges, single leg squats, and standi...

Take the stairs

At work I choose to take my breaks on the upper level giving me several times during the course of my work day to utilize the stairs

More, not less

I've broken more plateaus more quickly by eating more rather than less. Borne of discouragement - "If this isn't working, I quit!" - I've found that if I eat a little more over the week, even treat myself a time or two, and that jiggles my metabolism back into losing. Works every time!

Apple Cider Vinegar

If I haven't been showing a weight loss for at least two to three weeks then I start making boiled cabbage, and eat a small bowl before lunch and dinner. I add a tablespoon or organic apple cider finger to the chopped cabbage. It seems to work every time! It could also be from changing my tradition...

Ditch the Scale

As the unofficial queen of plateaus, I can tell you this: Ditch the Scale. Put it outside in the garage and leave it there for a few weeks. Switch up your routine somewhat. Do more weights, do less cardio or vice versa. Eat breakfast for dinner. Just do something different.

Walking

Walking has been the thing for me in relieving stress. I have a small country road next to the house or go to the park to walk. Either place has nice trees and birds singing their beautiful music. So stop and smell the roses and listen to the music. Also if you can afford it the resperate that...

Who For?

You can't do it for "him", "them", "her" or any "other body". You have to do it for YOU. If you do it for you, you will be doing it for them too!

Getting in more fruit/veggies

I love carbs and sometimes don't get enough fruit/veggies because I fill up on them. I started a new way of eating. I alternate between carbs & fruit/veggie choices. So for breakfast if I eat a carb like toast, then next thing I eat is a fruit like a banana. If I have a snack that is a carb like cra...
