I am starting a new interval training program this week. I managed to do the first in the series this morning and it totally kicked my bootox! The part I did like was just when I thought I was going to die....It was OVER! OK. I loved that part. Yes, you heard me when it was over. HAHAHAHA! It became painfully and vividly aware to me that I am way out of shape! Just my size alone prevented me from doing some of the exercises completely correct but ya know what?? I still did it and I finished. I am going to do it again on Wed and I am going to keep doing it until it becomes easier. (BTW it is a 3 day a week program. MWF) I intend on doing my deep breathing exercises every day and will stick to my original plan for my food intake. I wanted to take care of this problem before the engagement of the most cute daughter and now I do even more. Talk about Motivation! Who wants to be immortalized for the generations like I am now? Wish me luck! I am going to need it!
I love love love things that make my house smell well.....yummy! These recipes are wonderful for just that! I love to just throw the ingredients into a small saucepan on the stove and let them just barely simmer. (not to be left unattended) This also makes a great neighbor gift! Just deliver the ingredients to a friend with the instructions in a cute embellished bag and TA DA! Cheap, yet wonderful gift!! (plus makes a great humidifier too!) My Favorite Potpourri Recipe 1 lemon cut in fourths 1 apple cut in fourths 1 orange cut in fourths 2 or 3 cinnamon sticks Water to cover Place in a pan and simmer. Holiday Potpourri 1 Orange 1 Lemon 1 Bay Leaf 1 Cinnamon Stick 1/4 Cup Whole Cloves 1. Cut orange and lemon into pieces. 2. Put all ingredients in a sauce pan and cover with water. 3. Simmer on stove, and add additional water during the day, when needed. Holiday Spice 2 c. water 1/2 c. sugar 1 c. pineapple juice 1 c. orange juice 1 lemon, sliced 4 cinnamon sticks 1 Tbs...
