It is like it is some kind of genetic wiring. Maybe because there are so many trees provided for kids to climb.<br /><br />I have seen it said that one of the keys to staying at your exercise is doing something you enjoy. If you enjoy it, chances are better that you will stick with it. Plus you have the benefit of some mentor time with your kids. <br /><br />Nothing is worse than trying to exercise doing something you hate or find boring.Susannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22583491.post-31776597140108739732015-07-14T16:14:28.594-06:002015-07-14T16:14:28.594-06:00Hey Res,
Thanks for the inspiration.
I am get...Hey Res, <br /><br />Thanks for the inspiration. <br /><br />I am getting back into rock climbing (after a 23 year hiatus) with my kids. We have a great climbing gym here in the area and I signed the family up this last week-end. <br /><br />I've always hated weights and weight training in the gym (tedious and boring), but absolutely love the physical and especially mental challenge that rock climbing affords. Also running again, which I have always enjoyed. <br /><br />First day at the rock climbing gym this last Sunday: crapped out after four easy routes and one medium route. I think my oldest son (17) did over a dozen. The glory of youth is their strength. I couldn't feel my arms afterwards and my son had to drive me home. <br /><br />I'm really excited to get my kids into it also, and they're taking to it like ducks to water, to say the least. <br /><br />Anyway, thanks again, and great job on meeting your goals and keep up the great work. <br /><br />BTW, you might consider Tabatas as part of your cardio-plan. Be well. <br /><br />http://www.active.com/fitness/articles/what-is-tabata-trainingAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22583491.post-65305290015054014492015-07-14T14:04:56.794-06:002015-07-14T14:04:56.794-06:00For summer time warm weather, I would suggest a co...For summer time warm weather, I would suggest a cooler or insulated bag.

I was told by a diabetic friend that if you go for the snack crackers and chips, look for the ones highest in fiber. The fiber helps level out the blood sugar and takes a while to digest.

I usually keep some canned tuna salad in the car (it keeps for weeks) Other ideas; nuts, peanut butter, pepperoni sticks, jerky, and there are some kinds of (kinda nasty tasting) low-carb chip-like things - eat them with peanut butter and it's OK. <br /><br />And for home; hard-boiled eggs, string cheese, single-serving cottage cheese.<br /><br />And if you get fast food, you can get healthy fast food. Get a burger and just don't eat the bun (I have about a dozen plastic forks in my car).<br /><br />-BillBillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01398111375918398229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22583491.post-64409911430476864772015-07-13T16:28:49.741-06:002015-07-13T16:28:49.741-06:00Congrats on the lifting milestone.

Two traps for me are taking the kids out when I don't want to cook and grabbing junk when I'm out and have the munchies. Taking the kids out can happen as much as once a week. Junk food for me can happen more often, sometimes as much as 2 or 3 times a week. All together I'm sure if I had not eaten what I had it would be around a pound or two that I would have lost that I didn't.<br /><br />I'm trying to be honest with myself about where I'm at. It's easy to get excited about one goal and forget that everything plays into the mix. I hate cardio but I've run out of legitimate excuses to put it off any longer.<br /><br />I just shake my head about people who can't or won't cook. I've got better than three dozen quarts of homemade chicken stock canned and in the pantry as I type. I'll can more come fall out of the chicken backs that are still in the freezer from the last time I cut up chicken. Stocks are the basis for sauces, soups and flavoring. I'm with you, I don't know many women under 50 that can do much more than run a microwave.

Just doubling some of your recipes and freezing one meal for future use is an easy start. Along with stashing containers of soup, and homemade stock. Healthier too, but I don't need to remind you of that.<br /><br />I know it seems like work, but it really isn't Res. You are a pro at cooking, you know what I mean. I have tried to tell frazzled young moms at my church about the blessings of doing that, you should hear all the excuses. There really are none, when it comes right down to it.<br /><br />Congrats on your gym goal though. That is awesome.Susannoreply@blogger.com
