I've been on a fitness/exercise "binge" since January and loving it. I read an article today that listed 8 healthy habits and thought I'd share them.
1. Watch portion size. Definitely important. And it's amazing that we really don't need all that we are usually served.
2. Eat slowly. I need to remember this. It seems like I'm always rushing from one thing to another.
3. Eat vegetables first. Sounds like a good idea, although I haven't done this myself.
4. Don't skip meals. Ha! This has never been a problem for me!
5. Drink plenty of water. Water is so good for us. Keeps us feeling full and it's wonderful for our skin, etc. I trying very hard to drink water more...it's hard, but I'm working at it.
6. Switch to healthy snacks. Guess dark chocolate isn't on the list, but it's actually good for you, so I have some every day ;-) My favorite healthy snack is hummus with celery or carrots.
7. Exercise as often as you can. I've actually found that exercise can be addictive. Seriously....I enjoy it. I've added more walking too.
8. Keep a record. This is a must for me. MyFitnessPal.com is a great tool and I love using it.

We've had lots of rain lately, but today was absolutely gorgeous! Great sunset tonight too.

My prayer requests:
I'm having a breast MRI tomorrow afternoon.
I'm still waiting to get the results back from my BRAC test. Praying it comes back negative. It's a scary thing to do, but the information will really help my doctors know so much more about me and how often to do testing, etc.
Waiting is hard :-( My faith is keeping me strong though. With God, no matter what, I'll be okay. What a comfort to be able to say that.
And mean it :-)
Hugs from the beach,

Waiting is the hardest! You are in my prayers tonight. God has you in the palm of his hand.
Waiting is the hardest...
These days writing is hard for me
Praying for you
Been praying for you. Keep us posted. Try some Crystal Light flavor packets in your water. I have stopped drinking soda, except I let myself have one when we got out to dinner, and now I put Crystal Light in my water. It comes in all favors. I use half a packet in one bottle of water - full packet makes it too sweet for me anyway!
Take care my friend,
June
Praying as you wait..........
I'm praying for you, Kat!!!!
Those are good tips too. I enjoy drinking water in my older age; used to never like it.
As June was saying about crystal light; I actually got addicted to that and did lose weight, but started getting headaches. I've never been able to drink any kind of diet soda's because of that.
Love you, and praying HARD for good results from the tests.
xoxo
Will pray for you Kat. Best wishes to you.
Prayers that your tests are perfect.
Praying for a positive report for you! Waiting is not something I am good at but I think it one thing God is teaching me at this stage of my life!
Thanks for the healthy tips. Praying for you!
