simply.... i moved my ass. i started when i was confined and could only walk with tootie. shes 87 and gets around pretty well but, walking with her is not stepping it up. so i bought some used workout dvds off amazon and started doing them. then i started to dance in the kitchen. my daughter bought me an ipod for christmas and thats when i kicked into high gear. it has a pedometer... among its other spiffy qualities.
when sj would come over in the evenings and when i did go walk, i noticed i could step livlier depending on what song was playing. so added lots of disco and dance to my ipod and... i move my ass.
i have made some changes in the way i eat. no salt, no liquor and i eat lots of fresh produce at home. even take it with me out so i have a healthy snack. i am seldom without an orange in my purse. the good feeling perpetuates itself.
i move my ass daily but i spend 2-3 hrs 4 days a week moving, walking, dancing, and now a little swimmming. just got a season pass to waterworld and altho its not lots of swimming, there is lots of walking and stairs involved. i have found a local hiking group and i hope to be ready to hike with them in the fall.
i climbed this bitch today!
