With tea and coffee I have my fill of water needed.

I am going to keep a chart of my excerise,hoping to increase my duration each week. Today I got 30 min on the treadmill, 35 minutes on the bike and 15 on the eliptical. I'll continue these amounts this week and try to bump them up by 5 minutes each next week until I can do 45 minutes on each.

If you try and make things easier to eat that are healthy it takes the thought and worry out of it. I wake up in the morning and plan my meals and snacks for the day. Sometimes menus for a few days if I am making muffins etc. I NEED snacks if I don't eat something every 2 hours I get a headache and feel sick to my stomach. I spread my food out through the day. I don't have salad with dinner I have it as a snack after dinner. I LOVE a green salad with manderine oranges, dried cranberries and creamy raspberry dressing. It tasts like dessert.
Creamy Raspberry Dressing
1 c plain yogurt
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
2 tbsp raspberry jam
salt and pepper to taste
wisk all together. YUMMMMMM!!

YAY Bonnie!!! You are doing great and I think that addition of 5 more minutes sounds like it might work for you! I walked up and down the stairs today and did some walking to the grocery store. It is still very hard for me to do that much walking but I am sure trying.
I am going to lift weights today and begin that routine daily. I hope that helps me too.
I am proud of you Bonnie!
