LOL I have developed more of a taste for exercise as I'm trying new things & can see results when I'm consistent. However, I've not met any of my eating & exercise goals this year . . . the gray winter just got to me, I guess. I've restarted my exercise at the end of March & am feeling better already.<br /><br />You have some great goals here related to wellness. I'm also reading for INSPIRATION in healthy living and making (a little!) progress on decluttering and finishing up some scrapbook projects. Hopefully we'll start walking this week when Robbie gets home in the evenings. I had a lawn service come do an initial clean-up of the yard & some new landscaping, but I'm planning to do the yard work this season for some time outside also.<br /><br />(Thanks for not letting me miss this post!!)

It becomes somewhat addicting (okay, not as addicting as wine and cheese and bread,but at least something my body craves).<br />Nice post,<br />RindaMaria Ontiveroshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00120998825608732473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4746656646280276215.post-19213083604946060752015-04-01T17:03:45.075-04:002015-04-01T17:03:45.075-04:00Your post is very inspiring - wow, to that paper d...Your post is very inspiring - wow, to that paper decluttering! One thing I've learnt from previous years is that it is not possible (for me anyway) to make progress on lots of fronts all at once, so I am now selective and focus on just one or two. My own wellness journey touches yours where food is concerned. After a horrible five days after eating gluten-free bread, and a messed-up gut for weeks afterwards, I am eating no complex carbohydrate at all - only vegetables (not starchy ones) , fruits, nuts, fish, eggs and reintroducing a new food (e.g. soya yoghourt) every other day. If you're looking for recipies, the site called comfybelly.com and her Specific Carbohydrate Diet Cookbook are worth a look :). Wishing you continued success!alexahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03789464804911391774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4746656646280276215.post-33455154257247954312015-04-01T08:13:01.600-04:002015-04-01T08:13:01.600-04:00I'm not passionate about exercising either. Ha...I'm not passionate about exercising either. Hard to believe I used to get up early and go for a run before lectures when I was in college! Can't imagine doing that now. I'm hoping to change my mindset though and am beginning a 30 day yoga program tomorrow. Decluttering is ongoing here and I just bought a book to help me with that. Good luck to you on all fronts.<br />PS I just discovered Outlander (the TV show) and have started watching it this week. Loving it so far. Will have to get the books I think.Fiona@Staring at the Seahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17893269475772722633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4746656646280276215.post-41465378492236980762015-04-01T07:32:03.528-04:002015-04-01T07:32:03.528-04:00What a great post Cheri.

BTW, chocolate is a healthy food - if you stick to dark chocolate and eat it in moderation.<br />Like you, I want to lose weight and live healthy. I do think that some things will be a lot easier if I love weight - like running up stairs, bending down, less pain and pressure on my knees etc. It is a difficult journey, especially now in menopause. I feel like hitting a wall almost every day. <br />I do regular exercise, but I'm not loving it. I go to Jazzercise at least three times a week (better five). It's okay, but I can perfectly well live without it. I love walking, especially when I take my camera with me. Which is not real walking because I stop all the time to take photos. Eating - oh boy. I should eat more fruit and veggies, but fail miserably. I include veggies in all of our dinners, but during the day nothing much happens in this regard. I love bread - not the white stuff, but rich, hearty bread with lots of fiber. I usually bake my own bread since I don't find the "real" one in the local bakeries. <br />We should commiserate together...Carola Bartzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05536486322412234854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4746656646280276215.post-35910961776626257822015-03-29T06:20:43.227-04:002015-03-29T06:20:43.227-04:00Wow, Cheri....I'm so impressed by what you'...Wow, Cheri....I'm so impressed by what you've done....not to mention inspired.Sadly....all my favourite things in life are fairly unhealthy...apart from gardening...I really do need to try harder!!scrappyjackyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11761068895383717904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4746656646280276215.post-905780724805933872015-03-28T14:09:30.902-04:002015-03-28T14:09:30.902-04:00You've been busy.

It's already helped me identify some ways to be more conscientious about maintaining and forming some good habits around wellness.
