Replies to 'Ways to Exercise in the House'

Today, I got some small stuff done ... I was a little stressed out by me going to the Pilates/Yoga class today.  I made it on time and then I was scared cause I was the only one there and class was to start in 10 minutes.  Then 3 guys showed up and that got me worried even more!  Finally 3 more women showed up and I was okay.

The class was good .. I took pilates nearly 2 years ago and stopped because I couldn't afford the $60 per session.  Now, I can go for free so I'm doing it.

There were things I couldn't do before and I still can't ... my core muslces are really not strong enough.  Now that I'm healthier, my goal is to finally do those exercises .. then I can do my videos at home.  I want to make sure that I am doing them right ...

The last year I took the class, I ended up with some major problems in my feet & legs ... my muscles are really really tight ... I'm going to use this opportunity to finally work it out.

My day was filled .. it's been a long time since I've had a long day .... I went shopping -- I get 1 check a month and I hit 3 stores.  I got lots of stuff on sale ...  enough to last me a couple of months.

What temperature for the salmon?  I'm using can cause my schedule is so erratic!  I don't work and I've become the "dependable" one.  Like every morning, I have to let my brother's dogs out while he's in the hospital.  I also have to shop for my mom ... The good thing is I'm getting better and better at saying NO.

I love journaling ... it really helps me to work stuff out in my head about people, things .... life.  I find that I'm able to catch my patterns quicker and I love asking myself

WHAT CAN I DO DIFFERENTLY?

HOW CAN I DO IT?

Those are some very powerful questions .... 

Tomorrow, after my gym class,I'm shopping for my mom and then running to his house again to  let his dogs out.  Then I'm home alone all afternoon ... I want to sit down and continue to figure out what I do make.  Your recipe will be added to my collection.   I have COUNTRY ITALIAN -- has no saturated or trans fat.  It should work just as good as Kraft's. 

I have to watch my saturated & trans fat ...   and my calories ...   I just spent 5 months working on bringing myself out of PreDiabetes.  now, my goal is to leave the realm of Metabolic Syndrome.  I have to lower my cholesterol, LDL, & triglerides to do that.  I'm giving myself 6 months to do that. It means more life style changes.  I'm okay with that.  I've been making those changes since 11/18/03 ... I'm still overweight .... however, I've finally tackled binging & overeating.  Yep, it meant dealing with my family, freinds and how I handle life events.
