Today’s Hearty Habits features Heather Ivester of Lively Women who I will be almost close enough to touch when I arrive in Atlanta later in the day from London (transiting on the way to San Francisco). Heather is aiming for smaller portions and a smaller waistline in today’s Hearty Habits.
Well, up until last weekend [early July] when I dislocated my knee, my one healthy habit was working out at Curves at least three times a week. It’s a half-hour circuit for women that works all the major muscle groups, and you keep your heart rate up by doing aerobic activity between the machines.
But … since I’m recovering from injury now, my one healthy habit is eating smaller portions. I realized recently that I have a habit of going back for seconds to show my appreciation to the “cook” (even when it’s only plain ol’ me). Now, I try to eat more slowly, and when I’m done, that’s it. Time will tell if the scale shows some improvement!
Heather’s got lots more healthy habits to share at Lively Women, so please go visit her. You’ll be healthier for it.
