I challenged my fellow bloggers to try something new that excited them for exercise or increased health benefits.\u00a0 I didn\u2019t know that I would have so much to write about.\u00a0 It all started with this great new DVD I purchased, called \u201cSqueeze It In.\u201d\u00a0 It\u2019s a great workout video that convinces you that exercise can be fit into a normal \u201cMom\u201d day, without going to the gym.\u00a0 It also promotes an incredible webpage that gives you tons of ideas to stay motivated.\u00a0 I love the squats while you\u2019re blow drying you hair in the morning\u2014they call them \u201cHot Squats!\u201d\u00a0 I have found new muscles that haven\u2019t been used in years.\u00a0 I sincerely recommend this.<\/p>\n

By pure chance, my son\u2019s Scout troop went on a bike ride on one of our local trails in June.\u00a0 Since I am the only adult in the family who owns a bike\u2014I got to go.\u00a0 What you don\u2019t know is that I haven\u2019t ridden my bike in over 13 years.\u00a0 I had to dust it off before I used it.\u00a0 Amazingly\u2014it was a ton of fun.\u00a0 Now we have plans to incorporate a family bike ride\/Dad run into our weekly routine to shake it up at home.\u00a0 A sore toushy was the only problem.\u00a0 How great it was to feel the wind in my hair again.\u00a0 I just need to get over the death grip on my bike!<\/p>\n

One non-exercise thing that I really find helpful\u2014new recipes and meal ideas.\u00a0 I have a family who would be happy with the same five things every week, and breakfast for dinner is a necessity in our house.\u00a0 So I go through magazines, newsletters, websites (thanks to my great job!), and the newspaper.\u00a0 I also work with a great bunch \"june<\/a>of friends who cook!\u00a0 And they are GOOD cooks.\u00a0 So, I picked up a few Weight Watchers magazines.\u00a0 They had some great new recipes to try.\u00a0 I am back at it (much to my families concern), trying at least one, if not more new recipes every week.\u00a0 Last week I tried a breakfast pizza on a whole wheat crust with low-fat cheese and three eggs for the entire pizza.\u00a0 It was a keeper!\u00a0 Maybe there is hope for them yet!<\/p>\n

Finally, my friend Alice introduced me to a term that I\u00a0 truly LOVE!!!\u00a0 I am a Baby Boomer.\u00a0 Sad to say\u2014but yep\u2014I\u2019m getting older.\u00a0 BUT!\u00a0 There is hope.\u00a0 There is a new term out\u2014ZOOMERS!\u00a0 These are Baby Boomers who take their health very seriously, and embrace their age\u2014and their health, so that they will live longer.\u00a0 I love this!!!\u00a0 Yep\u2014I\u2019m a ZOOMER.\u00a0 I will succeed at being healthier. \u00a0I will succeed at losing weight!\u00a0 I will have more birthdays!\u00a0 If you\u2019re still keeping track\u2014I\u2019m at 60 pounds.\u00a0 I have been at a plateau this summer\u2014but will overcome that too!\u00a0 As I always say\u2014if I can do this\u2014so can you.\u00a0 So grab your grocery cart and do a few lunges while shopping next time.\u00a0 Women will think your weird, and men will follow you around!\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
