Also, I have a back condition that led me to 3 surgeries by the time I was 16 so I can only do so many types of exercise (swimming, some types of yoga) and one that literally works wonders and does not put pressure on your back or knees is callanetics.

one hour a day, ballet inspired toning, sounds girly but it works



best of luck to everyone being fit this 2009!

I have been interested in trying this, but how do I convince hubby to try it when he just loves his white breads and potatoes! And I would think it would be time consuming trying to have lunches prepared for work for a week and etc.?

Keep up the hard work Gregg!

yeah, boys are funny like that....

I personally was not a big fan of veggies until I tried it, it sounds weird, but there are major improvements in your skin and energy levels

Oh NO! I sound like an infomercial

I do not eat bread for lunches. I use wraps. The whole wheat type or I go to the health food store and buy Ezekiel Wraps which are made with sprouted grain. 150 calories, 24g carbohydrates, 6g protein. Remember, all carbohydrates are not created equal. These carbohydrates break down at a slower rate which helps to keep blood sugar in check, which is important for me. I have not eaten bread in quite some time unless it was whole wheat or, preferably whole grain.
