Healthy Habits

Walking last night, stretching this morning, I finished another chapter in the China Study, and have not eaten meat for a couple of days. Even baked tofu.

That is a scary book. The health care debate is going full swing. My training for a half marathon was me, trying to make a change. I needed to figure out a way to reverse my PCOS. I still am over weight, I still gained after having my fourth child. But now I am maintaining weight for the first time since his birth, I even lost one pound.

So tonight a long walk, with stretching. I am taking my kids with me, and trying to get them into good healthy habits.

Typhoon Lagoon

Had a quick trip to Florida over the weekend. I swam at the water park Typhoon Lagoon. I was lucky to have only water park ticket left over from a previous trip and Shades of Green had vacancy, so the entire trip cost me 600 for my family of five. I only go to Disney under 1000 dollars, so I have to find a fantastic discount during Marathon week end or I am not going.

I have the Harrisburg half marathon next month. I am walking it.

There has been a bit of stress in the family currently, my husband is going through some tests for his heart. That was why the impromptu trip to Florida at the last minute.

Walking tonight, I walked yesterday, no exercise happened Monday because I was stuck in the car driving back.
