Hello Abbercizers!!!
Had a good workout at Curves today. It was an 80% day so rather than glide on through it, I made a point of paying attention to form on each machine. That was a good exercise - caught myself in some form breaks which just make the exercises less effective. I also had the circuit coach re-set the computer for me on a couple of machines where it's pushing me past a limit where I can achieve the proper range of motion AND form. I procrastinated that for a bit, and am glad I took care of it today!!
I feel like I made a big step today on the "diet" side of Healthy Lifestyle. My new doc (hormones and such) is ADAMANT about the down side of eating meets that have been given anti-biotics and/or hormones which is basically everything in the store. I did make a trip out to a farm that raises beef and pork that way - but it's REALLY far to be practical. I found out there is a Whole Foods closer than whatever the next farthest one is away. It's still too far for regular shopping, but close enough to go once a month or so and stock up on meats without antibiotics and hormones.
Now for a tom boy country girl type like me, going to Whole Foods is a hysterical adventure all by itself!!! In keeping with the silly Curves games for Curves bucks, I was thinking of this new game as a walked through the produce section. The name of the game would be... "what is it?" Phase one would be viewing an item, and guessing whether it is a fruit or a vegetable. If you get that one right, you could win Bonus Bucks by actually identifying the fruit or vegetable.
Anyway, I feel like that's another positive plan component in the bigger lifestyle picture!! I even got a couple of bison burgers to try and also some stew meat to make lamb stew. I need recipe suggestions for the lamb stew!!
The closer I get to the New Healthy Me, the further away I get from AL. THAT is a wonderful thing!!
Caysea, with the workouts you do, I think you will be in the next Olympics!!!
GET OUT FROM BEHIND THE SOFA ABBERCIZERS!!!!! ON THE FLOOR AND GIVE ME 20!!!!!
