Guest guest Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 Wednesday morning -- and I'm taking a day of vacation so that I can drive my youngest daughter up to Denton (she's on Christmas leave, returns to her post on the 8th -- she's going to visit for a few days with her sisters). I did my exercises this morning -- about 60 LL breaths with various body moves. This routine is so much a habit that I don't feel " complete " if I don't do them -- I think that's the secret of regular exercise (at least for me!) -- make it a habit and somehow you always manage to work it in! Now the challenge: 1. I completed my LL breaths and exercises. 2. Yesterday I had no carbonated beverages, just green tea, my morning coffee, and lots of water. I do NOT think that water tastes good, and it does NOT leave me feeling " refreshed " -- but I've been told that once I get used to it, it will taste better -- I sure hope that's true for me. 3. Belly still sticks out. I bought a camisole-type bra (love the no-lines in the back under snug shirts!) but it rolls up -- I think they're made for women with really flat bellies -- anyone have luck with this type of bra? Any hints on what to look for, or styles that might work? The typical bra indents my skin at the back (hmm, imagine that shows that I have problems there....) and then a snug shirt shows the indentations.... 4. Working on my limberness. Today I have a long drive (about 500 miles total) -- and I am worried that will make me ache again (through my upper legs).... 5. Eating was inline with my chosen WOE yesterday -- but that, too, is now habit. I no longer even think about eating anything with processed sugars ... the Christmas cookies, etc., didn't even tempt me -- my splurges were lots of fresh fruits (ate a LOT of watermelon last night!), fresh whole-grained breads warm with ample butter.... I discovered a really good salad a while ago: fresh spinach leaves (I like the baby spinach) fresh pear, cut into small pieces (leave the peel on) walnut pieces feta cheese (or any type of crumbly cheese) beets (cut into small chunks) raspberry vinegarette (I use a no-added-sugar with basalmic vinegar one) Toss everything together and serve.
