Army? Did you know that RSHoffer has M.D. after his name? He is pretty smart.

The hardest thing to teach... you, being Career Army, already know... that is personal discipline. A health and fitness strategy requires a lot of personal committment and discipline. Anyone can be taught how to use a treadmill, lift a weight, create a diet.

Yep, when you are settled we can do some training together. Be forwarned... training in The Villages regional fitness centers will be an adjustment for you...

Have not tried it yet myself, but I hear there is a new bubbly green tea!:pepper2:

morning after morning after morning
 

I believe in breakfast. When I went to work, had I not had breakfast, I would have turned into an ax murderer by about 10:30 AM. But my Cheerios kept me cheery throughout those mornings at work. Still do.

Cheerios, no sugar, topped off by walnuts, skimmed milk, and whatever fruit is in season or half a banana. Lately it's glorious blueberries every morning.

Cheerios on most mornings, and I eat them while I sit here in front of this computer and write stuff. So sometimes I spill my cereal and make my geriatric dog happy. (She sleeps beside my feet. She is 15. She used to exercise a lot.)

Anyway, I start my day with a virtuous breakfast. But, alas, my virtue does not always remain intact. Sometimes I am a weak woman. I give in. One of my weaknesses is ice cream. But I do not roll over for just any ice cream. It has to be Graeter's. (Cincinnatians know it.) I really do limit my Graeter's. I only allow myself to have it after I go to the hairdresser to have my roots done. Graeter's is close by the hair place. (My hair grows really fast.)

So I have my little routines it seems.

About those juicers someone asked about. We have a Breville Juice Fountain Elite. (Mr Boomer thinks it is a power tool and so he makes the juice most times.) But I gotta tellya, when I read the question about juicers, I thought, "Hey! That's right. We have a juicer."

Juicer juice is really good. We used to be in that routine. Need to get back to it. Thanks for the reminder.

(Barb, I saw an orange baby. He liked only sweet potatoes and carrots. But he is not orange anymore. He's fine.)

I do some exercise. I like water aerobics a lot. That's my favorite. And I like the elliptical. But I could do better. A lot better.

I have a Juiceman Jr. started using it a month ago. I make the "green drink" 3 stalks celery, handful of spinach, one cucumber, about 1 in. of ginger, one apple. I swear my skin has tighten up. I have one glass of green juice every morning and now that I like it so much I have tried different recipes for a glass in the evening. The cravings are gone and I honesty do not feel "hungry" any more. Wish I had realized the benefits of juicing years ago. Oh yeah, to clean the mesh screen, I use the kitchen tool sold to clean silk off of corn. They are usually yellow with white plastic tips. Its terrific. Less than 1 minute and the mesh is completely clean. Five minutes the whole juicer is clean.
Enjoy..
