big screen today and played my own music.  Yes, any fast music I have, I rotated it every 15 minutes on the kitchen timer.

At times I ran around my coffee table and jogged in place, but I was having fun, using the exercise video to keep me honest and my own music with a nice fast beat to dance with.

The 2/15 minute sessions flew by.

I want to want to exercise, so I’m keeping it short and sweet.

How bout that create your own dance video by muting your dvd and blaring your own tunes!  Feel young, and healthy and fit in 20 min!

Get to it and have fun!!

Just with in the last month I have been going full steam to get healthy.  I joined a gym for 12 days on a free pass, I use my exercise equipment

religiously now that I got in practice with the gym.  This week, by husband added to our grocery list many  of the 150  best foods to eat to strengthen and bones and support hormonal issues, so to avoid supplements.

You guessed it, I am reading another book, it is called “Stand Tall”, by Morris Notelovitz, MD, PhD.  He refers to it as  ”Every Woman’s Guide to Preventing and treating Osteoporosis”.  Another great reference to congratulate you if you are taking you calcium supplements and Vitamin D and getting enough sunshine, and a great resource to let you know, please get moving immediately with exercise, calcium, vitamin d if you are not doing it now.

One of the pages shows a woman that is healthy with good bone support and then gradually, without any pain loosing height (I think that is what is happening to me) and then getting the hunch back.  So, now I am on super duper overdrive trying to get in my exercise, and calcium, vitamin d etc.

The author suggests that if you take your calcium supplement in the morning sometime and then at bedtime, you get more of it through the day.  You get most of it at bedtime, the absorption.  So, now I will be making this switch tonight.  Also, if you take your calcium with orange juice or yogurt you get more absorption.  I have to cut up my supplement because only like really little pills, and the chewy calcium is not safe for my teeth, so I can now put it in yogurt at night.

If you want to  really see if your know your bone loss prevention, this book is an easy read and oh so helpful.

Oh how I have been wishing for a jacuzzi. I will have to look at brands on sale and nag hubby for one AGAIN!

The coldness can’t be good for our bodies all the time, but the coldness is good for fighting disease I think.

Our cold home has warded off disease as we have built up immunity. Lots of my friends kids get sick all the time, because of the disease that they bring home and the warm air of their homes that promotes it.

I’ll tough it up, but boy do I wish I had a jacuzzi or a hot tub! I’ll take a soak in the tub and my foot basin in the mean time, water is so wonderful to heal your aches and pains.

I am also going to call some hotels to see about a pool membership and the Y. There are lots of ways to benefit from water.
