Who needs GOLD'S GYM!

when you have stairs.... and lots of them! I haven't found anything better to get my heart rate up than climbing my own stairs. It's a workout! There are 3 flights of stairs; 47 steps. I make 5 rounds for a total of 470 steps. It takes me 10 minutes. Whew!!!!

Starting at Bonus Room, 4th level


on to second and main level staircase



finishing at bottom of basement stairs, and.....

up again!

DDD - Day 1

Today I started a Detour Diabetes Diet. It's just a healthy way of eating. I took my waist measurements, went for a 20 minute walk, and cooked a healthy breakfast. (It's really about keeping the fat off your waist. Your waist should not be over 35 inches if you are a woman).

I sauteed spinach, onions, and garlic in extra virgin olive oil, added one egg white and topped it with cheese. I ate it with a piece of wheat toast and a half cup of fat free milk. Delicious!

Tip: If you love chocolate milk like I do, Nestles now makes a sugar free chocolate mix. It really does taste just as good as the sugar laden mix; it just takes a little longer to mix it in. I also converted to fat free milk. When I add the sugar free chocolate mix, it's all chocolate milk to me!
