My Healthy Living Log

I  am finally finding me.   I am for once taking time for myself…even if it is just to workout.  I have gone from constant pain and muscle cramps to feeling invigorated and less frequent soreness.   I am starting to look forward to my daily workouts.  It is nice to see the ladies and to share the sweat, pain and soon the triumph.  I understand why it has been said that group exercise yields the best results. 
The diet is finally kicking in for me.  I love exploring the recipes in the Best life Diet.  The recipes are quick and easy, which is great for an active and busy family.  Best of all, my kids will eat the meals without much complaint. 
The biggest hurdle for me is my love of dessert.  I love to bake and create new and interesting desserts for my family.  When  I was pregnant, at my request,  my loving and supportive husband, brought me frequent decadent cakes and pies.    I don’t even miss those empty calories… I started eating Yoplait’s Cheesecake and chocolate mousse Whip yogurts.  I consider myself a dessert “sommelier” and these yogurts are unbelievable.
 
 
Ok, I am doing everything by the book.  I am exercising,  I am eating 3 meals a day.  No alcohol.  No eating 2 hours before going to sleep…..Can I weigh myself?   Just kidding.
 
I was talking to my dad today.  He is incredibly fit and active.  He eats well and exercises daily.  He also beats every year in our local 10K. This year I will win:)  He even wears the same clothes he did in high school.  I think he still has some to prove it  He states he does not weigh himself (only for annual physicals).  He just notices how his clothes fit and adjusts accordingly.
Alright,  I want to send shouts out to Lakita, Marna, Anna and Cecelia who are probably lunging as I type.  I also want to send a shout out to Mary Ellen who was my “rock” this morning and kept me going.
Thanks Ya’ll,

Veronica
