Health Group- week 8

Wow, two months of Health Group so far. And we still don’t have a cool name made official. I’ll pose the question again, since there are probably more people stopping by now than back then…. How ’bout a name? Who likes “Health Group”? We’ve had one suggestion by Jenny which was “Knit and be Fit”, or some variation on that. Bring on the suggestions. Is it obvious I’m stalling? OK, here goes….

Monday, I did weights and physical therapy.

Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday I did, well, nothin’. That’s not actually true, I did a whole lot of very important things. Seriously, and I’m not even being sarcastic this time. Tues and Wed were one thing after another, after another, after another…..etc. It wore me out. Thursday, if you recall, was full of spiders and pasta. Moving on.

Friday, I did weights and physical therapy again.

No aerobics this whole week. I miss it. I feel really, really good when I exercise. I wish I had some means of aerobic activity I could do regardless of weather and kids. What I really want is an elliptical. A good one. Like, one of these, for example. They are very cool. I have spent time on one in a fitness shop. If only….

So, food. I’ve actually done really darn good this week. I’ve eaten many, many fruits & veggies, lots of whole grains, and not much of anything else. I don’t know if it is the heat or what, but I’ve been content with less food. Less snacks, less grazing, less cravings. It’s been really nice.

Your turn. Who’s doing what? And where did Angie in TX go? Is she on vacation? I miss her.

UPDATE- in the last month, I’ve dropped 4 pounds, 1/4 inch in my upper arm, 1 inch in my waist, 1 inch in my hips, and 1/2 inch in my thigh. Cool. I’m going to go for a walk now.
