Back on the healthy path

I have struggled sense my last health post. I still cook much of my own food, but with the addition of a part time evening job I have to leave the dinners up to my husband on most nights. For him, it is hard to cook anything that does not involve a microwave or a grill. And with our George Foreman out of commission I am forced to buy a lot of prepackaged food that is easy for him to cook. I have even gotten calls right when I get off of work asking me to bring home dinner because he didn't realize how late it had gotten. It happens, I understand that. But it does not do anything for my health or money saving goals.

I have not come up with a solution to the dinner dilemma, but I have started taking steps towards overall health yet again. I have given up my beloved MtDew. A 2 liter a day habit has dwindled down to nothing. And has staid at nothing for an entire week. Instead of a morning MtDew I have been drinking a cup of detox AM tea followed by a cup of Peppermint Ginseng tea. Throughout the day I have substituted a MtDew for Lavender Lemonade, Water, and Milk.

On top of this small dietary change I am going to start using my exercise ball for exercise. lol. What a concept. There is a list of exercises at Women's Health that I will be using to start. By the time I get a handle on them my friend wants to get me involved in a Couch to 5K Program. But that will not start until July.
