\"walking\"Some self reflections…<\/span><\/p>\n

When I let my hair grow, I decided that long hair went with better health [less weight, more flexibility, etc.]<\/span><\/p>\n

Why? Just one of my quirks.<\/span><\/p>\n

I’ve always exercised but not always that regularly\u2026it\u2019s been a stop and go thing for me\u2026 little moderation…<\/span><\/p>\n

Then I got my puppy and that was after two years of not having a dog – so there was a lot of walking once she got all her grown-up shots.<\/span><\/p>\n

But given my knowledge of exercise and bodies I knew that walking tightens muscles.<\/span><\/p>\n

Most exercise tightens muscles.<\/span><\/p>\n

So I started doing yoga again but like usual –\u00a0 sporadically. I have some old tapes I put in my VCR player and do different yoga programs.<\/span><\/p>\n

I started off with two or three times a week and then it was every other day and I felt good. \u00a0Along with the longer dog walks this was feeling healthy.<\/span><\/p>\n

But there was still the weight issue. I was not at a weight that I thought I needed to be at for no other reason just that as I’ve gotten older I’ve shrunk and I figured you know carrying the same weight around on the shorter body was not good – and then there was the long hair.<\/span><\/p>\n

So for some reason I decided to pay attention to some of the things I write about nutrition and realized I had to stop eating bread and drinking milk.<\/span><\/p>\n

So – I cut out most wheat and I started using to almond milk for my coffee. I didn\u2019t stop eating cheese or yogurt but I cut back on those as well.<\/span><\/p>\n

And upped the yoga to at least 15-20 minutes A DAY – every day!<\/span><\/p>\n

Guess what?<\/span><\/p>\n

The weight and the inches went off! And went off quickly.<\/span><\/p>\n

My guess is that \u201cmodern\u201d wheat has stuff in it that keeps bodies from losing weight and inches. Ditto milk.<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019m not sure of my science on this, but as I\u2019ve said – food is no longer food and maybe we do have to stop and take a serious look at what we put in our bodies.<\/span><\/p>\n

I am also working on a nutrition course for Udemy and if you sign up below, I will send you a major discount coupon for the course once it is done…<\/span><\/p>\n
