Pushups, Squats and Yoga - and Gaelic

Tags: Fitness
60 Pushups, 95 Squats, 15 minutes of yoga.

Menu: Breakfast - fruit smoothie and hot cereal; Tea - biscuits; Lunch - 2 cheese casseroles (I couldn't eat either), biscuits & rolls with bread lubricant, sweet pickles followed by a dessert selection of rich chocolate squares, chocolate bundt cake or cheesecake; Supper - Tossed Salad and Chard & Fennel Tart with white wine. It was nice of our hosts to provide lunch but I can't eat like that. My tummy hurt all Sunday afternoon after eating cheese at my reception on Saturday so I lunched on a whole wheat biscuit and grapes (that I brought) with tea.

We spent the day in Gaelic Immersion. I'm starting to understand it better but I still am not able to pull up the words on demand. Perhaps if I studied it and practiced more at home I would be more adept. Thankfully it was at a nonsmoking house this time.

Today: 1 hour NIA and 60 Crunches, no yoga.

Tags: Fun Fitness Health Life
Kit has lost a noticeable amount of weight with his fitness and diet change. He has run out of notches on his belt, he'll have to shop for a smaller one now. He doesn't do NIA, that's my thing, but he is following the 100 pushups program and doing regular yoga.

It's not all about exercise, diet is playing an even larger role, I believe. Getting rid of most of the meat and eating more vegetarian has not only reduced our gravitational pull but it has made us mentally clearer as well. I know I feel better when I follow a more vegetarain diet and Kit has said the same. There is a history of cardiovascular disease in the Davis family and too many diabetics in both families. Hopefully we'll stave off both those lifestyle tragedies. After all, what works to promote health for one health issue nearly always applies to other maladies. One positive change in lifestyle should help prevent or delay both diseases. Time will tell.

Situps Again and Yoga

Tags: Fitness
20 minutes of yoga and 76 situps for both of us. Can you believe the self-discipline? Physical disciplines combined with a mostly vegetarian diet, Kit has lost an additional 2 pounds from the last weigh-in. He is likely lengthening his life by several years, maybe even a decade or two.
