Here's to Our Health

[BeingMe]

Good for you SW! Way to go! I love aerobics classes - it really gives me a feeling of having really worked out.

At the moment, I mostly work out at home - I have set up a really nice gym area in our basement with everything I need. I have lost 3 lbs in the last 2 weeks - I am very pleased. Those who are trying to lose weight, but nothing is budging even though you are lowering your calories and increasing your activity - check out your medication! I am on Lipitor, and apparently it can lower one's metabolic rate, so I checked with my doctor, and he lowered my dose, and that's when I started slowly losing again. Yay!

I have started reading the book on the Mediterranean Diet, but note that it is not a diet one goes on, but a way of eating for life. So far, I have learned that it involves fresh fruits/veggies, whole grains, small amounts of protein, and olive oil. They also seem to drink a glass of wine with their meals.

I will continue reading, and let you know what I feel I can get out of it, personally.
