Healthier Alternatives

[ILG]

You're doing such a great job, Renda! It's hard to make changes. Lately, I have been juicing more often (taking loads of fruits or veggies and juicing them up). It's a pain because making it and cleaning the juicer takes time. But oh, the yummy juice!!

ILG, If you can possibly get a Vitamix, I would encourage it. You won't have those problems any longer. And while with a juicer, you are putting a lot more vitamins and minerals in your body, you do lose the fiber. For instance, on carrot juice, you are cutting 90% of the fiber you would get in a Vitamix.

Renda,
I really like this exercise video. It's not too long to bore you and you feel great! Just finished my set for today.

One of my sisters had recommended a yoga DVD - Yoga Zone - Introduction to Yoga.

I already use my Core Program (http://www.amazon.com/The-Core-Progr...am+Peggy+Brill), so I didn't see a reason for it. I still might use it some time though. Not that I have ever been athletic, didn't play sports in school, but I like something more physical.

Yoga is a good physical therapy, the only downside is the religious connection.

Yoga as a physical activity is OK, the problem is when people start following the philosophy of Yoga, which is ancient paganism

Yes, and I don't like that the fiber is going. Yes, I am very interested in your $500.00 blender.
