30 Day Challenge

Can you do one thing for 30 days, and continue it for a lifetime? Of course, we're talking about learning a new healthy habit or changing an unhealthy one! It sounds easy, but like most things in life, it’s easier said than done.

Did you Exercise Today?

Exercise is an important part of a healthy lifestyle. So, what did you do today? Did you enjoy it? What would you like to add to it? Have you noticed the difference regular exercise has made in your life?

Let's Talk.............

Profile Information

Hometown:: Where I am at the moment

Relationship Status: In a Relationship

About Me:: I'm a mother, a daughter, and an entrepreneur. My children are my life, my passion is my business, and my business is helping people gain and maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Website:: http://www.weight1minute.com

What are your goals?: My goal is to help people achieve their weight management goals via sharing, learning, mentoring, and supporting each other. Overweight and obesity are a global problem with individual consequences.

What is your current exercise routine?: My exercise routine consists of fast walking and strength training.

What diets have you tried?: I don't believe in diets. I think diets are a short term solution, and, for the most part, don't work. I firmly believe making small changes in my lifestyle is the only way to see long term results.

What things do you want to do before you die?: Have time to relax and read, read, and then read some more.

What is your favorite book?: Choosing a favorite book is like choosing a favorite place to visit. It's not possible.

WWW – At the Top of the Mountainside

Finally, Tuesday was a sunny day without a rain cloud in sight, so I decided to take full advantage and go for an impromptu hike. It’s been unseasonably cold and rainy this past month and then some by Southern California standards.

The views from the pinnacle of the Temescal Canyon Trail were spectacular:

Yesterday, I found the Venice Graffiti Walls. I took the bus and biked to the beach, and then walked in area of the Walls. It was a beautiful day, with a bit of a cool breeze coming off the ocean.

Here are the results:

An Iowa Avenue Exclusive – WalkerTrackerIowaAvenue - Walking is about to get more fun

You’ve heard me talk about the value of walking. In fact, I think it’s the greatest thing since sliced bread. I’m sure some fitness enthusiasts—or not so enthusiastic-- will respond by stating that:

I will eventually see it at least when it comes to DVD so I can forward some animal slaughter parts... :" I've read about it. You'll probably won't want to after viewing it.....:(

Susana commented on Susana's blog post 'Food Inc.'12 hours ago

My children went to see the documentary at the theater. After watching this, they plan to improve their shopping even more. I will eventually see it at least when it comes to DVD so I can forward some animal slaughter parts... :(

Susana commented on David's blog post 'The Skinny on Obesity'yesterday
