This blog is for my friends - and their friends - a resource for random comments mostly focused on nutritional information, but would include related areas of overall health, exercise and attitude. I am dedicated - and have always been - to helping anyone who asks about any of these subjects, and if I don't know the answer, I will find it for you. So, ask away...m.

Feels like Friday!
We've talked about Mondays before - I'm sure we pretty much all feel the same way about them. However, today was different; I head to the gym kind of sluggish, take a pilates class (which was the best!) - and then I expect I'm going to do my usual "burn off all the calories from the weekend" workout I always do on Mondays. But - I see a friend I haven't seen in months so we decide to walk a mile on the outdoor track and catch up - and the next thing you know I've walked FOUR miles! It was a beautiful morning, breezy - just a really nice way to start the week. We yapped the whole way, laughed a lot and got a workout in at the same time. Yeah, I might not have burned up the calories like I would have if I'd been on the stairmaster, but I had a lot more fun - and there's always tomorrow to pound it out. Point is, changing it up, doing something spontaneous, not your normal routine, is so great for your attitude and mentally resets itself to that kind of fun, relaxing feeling you get when you know the weekend is coming up. Now I've set myself up to have a great week - wow, next weekend is going to be a blast!! Give it a try! Melissa
