Set a goal of trying one new fruit or vegetable every week
Keep a bowl of fruit on your desk at work
Switch from ice cream to frozen yogurt
Substitute sweet potatoes for regular baked potatoes or fries. You'll get more Vitamin A.
Get more fiber. Add canned beans or a handful of nuts to your salad.
Take the stairs, not the elevator.
Don't e-mail your office mate. Walk down the hall and deliver the message personally.
Get a dog. Commit to walking 10 minutes in the morning and 20 minutes at night.
Buy a soccer ball. Kick it with your kids or a neighbor.
Buy shoes at the end of the day when your feet are more swollen from use.
Laura - I hope you don't have a knee injury - that stinks!
Did a long run with the running club this morning - it was not fun - I must be having an "off" day - don't ya'll have those sometimes - where your run/workout just exhausts you and is painful the entire time? Ugh.
Bed at 11:15 up at 7:30. 8 3/4 hours. Dreamed a LOT this morning!
Got new shoes yesterday. They're pretty stiff but made my old shoes feel like they were pulp. Wearing my IT band band and taking a few days off. I'm determined! Thanks for the good wishes Laura.
I definitely know about the off days! It helps to have a group to push you a little though.
