FITNESS - I work out at home using exercise DVD's, Sparkpeople videos, Health and Fitness on Demand, or YouTube. In addition, I walk almost every day from 1 to 5 miles per day. I also volunteer at a local animal shelter which provides me with a great work out! Walking the dogs there is no stroll! Most of them have never been on a leash and pull! They really give me a good work out for my mind, soul and body! There is always cleaning to do there, too.
NUTRITION - For breakfast and lunch, I eat almost the same things every day. Breakfast is cereal or oatmeal, 1/2 bagel with 1 tbsp whipped cream cheese and a small amount of butter during the week and usually have one egg (instead of cereal) on Saturday and Sunday. I still have to have coffee, but I drink decaf these days.
My favorite lunch is a whole bag of cut up Dole Romaine lettuce salad, 1 tbsp dried cranberries or 5 fresh strawberries sliced, a few whole almonds or a tablespoon or chopped walnuts, and 50 grams of turkey breast or chicken breast. Add to that one tbsp balsamic vinegar, one tsp olive oil and a sprinkle of italian seasonings..mix well and eat! My nutrition tracker is shared. Please feel free to spy on my eating habits!
I enjoy trying new recipes for dinner and turn to SparkRecipes frequently for ideas.
