Eat. Live. Be. for a Better 2011 Challenge Week 3
How do I stay motivated to keep up healthy habits when the weather is so cold?
- Healthy Recipes using pantry staples and winter produce
- Exercise Indoors
- Countdown to spring
- Good support system
I just bought a Mobia by Nautilus exercise machine. It is a cross between a treadmill, an incline, and stair stepper. I try to walk daily or at least several times a week at the boardwalk or the local reservoir but the weather has officially done me in! Three feet of snow and freezing cold weather has kept me indoors. Well the cash outlay will keep me motivated so I will definitely be using the machine. I really like it so far. I watched cooking shows while on it this morning. Is that wrong?!
Countdown to spring! Scroll all the way down to the bottom of my page to see my new widget and see how many days until spring.
Lastly a good support system helps to keep you on track! Thank you all!
