Tuesday’s Tips (Week 4) – Baby Steps for a Healthy Life

By emie • January 6th, 2009

O.K., I’m going to make this one really, really easy because to be completely honest I have not been doing the arm weights. But, I am going to start today!! Also, if you’re just joining us, I suggest you start with Week 1.

So, today’s tip is: take a really good multi vitamin every day. I already do this so it’s really easy for me. I still take my prenatal vitamin because it doesn’t upset my stomach and well, honestly I am to lazy to research another option. But if you want to know everything there is to know about the best vitamins for women Prevention has demystified the issue with a complete guide to the Best Vitamins for Women. It spells out which nutrients women should be taking every day based on the latest safety and efficacy research, which forms are best absorbed, and optimal doses. They also included a section on supplements that aren’t for everyday use but that you may want to take occasionally to treat various conditions, such as arthritis or flagging energy (consult a doctor before trying these or any supplements if you take prescription medication).

BTW, here are my 2009 resolutions:

#1 Actually do all the “Tuesday’s Tips” – so far I have been o.k. with drinking water and eating fruit. I am going to start the arm weights today…

#2 Lose that final 10 lbs. – started on that, see our weight loss challenge if you are interested in joining us!

#3 Get organized – um, I need to think about that one some more….I installed Tweetdeck, does that count?

#4 Save money (or don’t spend so much money) – I saved almost $100 today using coupons! Woohoo!

Also, I’m starting a workout log below. Each day I’ll log what I do that day for exercise, whether it’s getting on my treadmill with my SurfShelf or hitting the Strand to go roller blading with Skye. I’ll log how much time I spend doing the activity and if I’m using my SurfShelf with my laptop, what I did online while walking on my treadmill.

Workout Log:

Day – Exercise/Time/What I did online using my SurfShelf on my treadmill

Monday – treadmill/83 min/blogged, read blogs, email
Tuesday – rollerblading, walk, treadmill/75 min/email

I do not usually comment to blogs but I like this post therefore I was stimulated to do so. Straying away from the subject to a degree, what do you think about walking? It is generally being advertised as the best exercise to burn fat.
