I just love to eat. All the time, all kinds of things. There's almost nothing I wouldn't do to enable myself to endulge in pizza. Not to say I do that all the time. I try to keep it to weekends. Although I try to eat relatively healthy and take necessary vitamins and herbs, I am not very good at dieting.

But I am a firm believer in a healthy body and increasing metabolism. It's not just good for weight problems, but it will help us all live longer, healther, happier lives.

I work out at least an hour 5 days per week. Then stay active on other days. I train in kickboxing, yoga, pilates and I run. I weight train twice weekly. I realize that not everyone has time for that much. But it is so important that I think everyone should FIND at least a half hour of cardio three times weekly. Just for heart health.

Yoga and pilates have made a huge difference in how I feel. I was a dancer for 12 years growing up and, as an adult, I missed the tone and flexibility. I'm slowly regaining that and feeling like a whole new person.

It takes a little while to get into your excercise routine. And, if you don't stick with it for at least 6 weeks so you can see some results, you are likely to quit. But, if you get over that hump, it will become your favorite time of day--- especially if your gym happens to have a steam room and a day care center!
