Hard work pays off in most areas of life. I have exercised everyday this week so 7 out of 7 for me. It's been great to take the time to do something each day. I have been mixing up the workouts: outdoor walking, elliptical machine, indoor walk fit DVD, yoga, more elliptical, and some outdoor work around the house today. When I was younger (and thinner) I worked out several times a week. Those were the days of aerobic classes and women only gyms. Ahhh. Remember those?
Today was catch up on housework day as the week was super busy and over-scheduled. I put a crock pot of VT's Moroccan Lentil Stew with Raisins on while I worked. It can be found in the December 2015 issue or here. I wondered about the raisins in it, but it turned out delicious. The raisins were just enough to slip in a hint of sweetness occasionally and went along well with the cinnamon and cumin in the recipe. Definitely a keeper. Leftovers are in the fridge for a simple lunch after church tomorrow.
I went to a chiropractor this week for the first time. I didn't know my neck could make such cracking, crunchy sounds and still hold my head up afterward. Overall I;m glad I went and will go again soon with less anxiety now that I know what to expect. It is just another tool to assist me on a journey to a longer life.
I just started reading, The China Study (Campbell, 2006), and the information is astounding. It annoys me that the results of such an in depth study involving a huge number of subjects does not get disseminated to the public in a timely and obvious manner. Guess we can once again thank greed and the influence of industry for that one. I'm sure I'll bring this book up again in future posts.
I hope each reader will do at least one thing today to affect their own health in a positive way.
