Weighty issues : - )

I have been following my own advice for a few weeks. Figured if I was working with people on eating for their own metabolism I ought to recheck my own eating....and whoops I was not doing enough protein for me.

So since the 4th of July - I added protein in the form of bison and have lost 5 pounds. Even better - I lost 3 inches on my hips and 3 around my waist. I feel great! And am looking much leaner...my friends have asked if I lost a lot of weight. Nope - just getting lean...

I'm also still exercising although I took off last week [too hot ]- but it seemed to not make a difference - I jumped right back into my usual routine this week with no problems.

Never too old for yoga

Most everything I have been doing of late is working at tightening my muscles...cycling, walking, playing squash....

That's not bad as I am losing inches - but I was beginning to feel a bit crampy at times...and that's not good.

I do yoga at home with my videos - but like most - on my own it's a short session and not frequent : -) and so I am going twice a week to a low-key yoga class....and I feel the difference immediately...

We all need to keep ourselves flexible...and oddly enough, by adding yoga to my life - I have suddenly lost weight!

As we age, that flexibility is important - the stretching and working at staying more "moveable" is good for all bodies.

An old saying [I can't find the origin of] is: "whatever the question - the answer is more yoga."
