Hiatus is Over

June 10, 2009

hiatusWow!!  What a month it’s been — to all my loyal readers, I apologize for my absence this past month.  I’m happy to say that my hiatus is over and I have a list of ideas to write about.  I hope you are all doing well and finding ways to incorporate healthy habits into your daily routine.

During the month of may, I took a couple of weeks off to re-energize and eliminate stressors in my life.  After that, my son came for a visit and brightened our house for a week.  We don’t get to see him nearly enough.  My dad also came out for a visit and it was a very special time as he had not been to see us since we moved to North Carolina.

The summer season is almost here and my herb garden is producing more than I can use.  I’ve already taken one big bunch of dill and basil to the office to share with my co-workers.  The pepper plants are coming along nicely but it will be awhile before we have any fruit.

I still struggle to get into a regular exercise routine but I ride my bike and walk when I can.  The good news is that I’ve dropped a few more pounds and have maintained a healthy meal plan.  46 pounds lost so far and I feel better than ever.

I look forward to your continued comments and support.

Cheryl

Daily Lessons:

  • One small apple has the same number of calories as one Oreo cookie (55). Replace 3 cookies a day with one apple and save 770 calories a week.
  • Three, 10-minute exercise sessions are just as effective as one 30-minute session. Lace up those shoes and take a brisk walk morning, afternoon, and evening. You'll burn, on average, about 200 calories a day and your heart will be healthier.
  • If you don't have time for a healthy lunch, eat something to hold you over like an apple, orange, or some nuts. Avoid the temptation to go to the vending machine or to the fast food drive through lane.
  • Instead of ice cream, go for sorbet 1/2 cup has only about 100 calories and 0 grams of fat.
  • Cutting out 150 calories every day could save you from gaining 15 pounds a year
