Update

I know I haven't posted in awhile. I got away from healthy eating and other than walking or doing Summer activities (going to parks, festivals, lakefront), I haven't been working out. I've been having a problem lately with low blood sugar due to skipping meals, going too long without eating, a/o eating junky so I have decided to get back on the right track.

 
 I hadn't been weighing in regularly since when we moved we got rid of our scale - it was never accurate and we started using our Wii Fit to weigh ourselves. But since I didn't want to have to haul that out every day/week, I bought a new WW scale that tracks weight, BMI, bone density, and fat.


 
We have been eating more of a Vegan diet with lots of nuts, seeds, greens, and berries. We're looking into Dr. Fuhrman's diet plan, but I hate "diets" or plans that are very restrictive, so I'm not sure if we'll follow it to a T, but we think it sounds like a good place to get healthier. Today I ate the healthiest I think I ever have with yogurt, walnuts, a banana, green tea, water, strawberries, blueberries, black berries, and a huge salad with organic greens, kale, spinach, arugula, sunflower seeds, flaxseeds, olive oil, lemon juice, and black pepper. Dinner will probably be brown rice with lentils, onions, mushrooms, garlic, olive oil, & Indian spices plus a salad.


As for activity, I'm going back to doing Qi Gong and/or Yoga daily, along with walking and strength training. Now is the perfect time, I am always successful with daily exercise in the Fall/Winter since I prefer cooler weather.
