Great job everyone-only this week to go. Good luck!!
Thank you Jan. I am concentrating on the vitamins and meds and the sleep this week. I have been walking on the treadmill at least 3 times a week, but I am preparing for a 5K walk in June, so I will be increasing that to longer periods of time, and maybe I will add a day to it. I have been walking around my yard a lot more now that the weather has started to break. Lots of gardens to check out (bending over to pull weeds is an activity too). I have convinced my DGD (4 yrs old) to take walks in the woods with me. She brings the pretend map to find our way into the woods, and then to find our way back home. This walk is enjoyable on so many levels.
And another thing I stopped concentrating on was drinking enough water. Gee, my mind must be on other things lately. Ok back on track.
Walking, water, sleep, vitamins, healthy food and snacks. This is so simple. . .Focus Makes Me Fabulous!
