I was visiting with a friend and was turned on to eating healthier. He go me to watch the video on Bill Clinton and the doctor who is advocating vegetarianism.
I have always been interested in becoming a vegetarian. but, have never went the whole way.
I have instead decided to eat healthier. Increasing the amount of fruit and vegetables in our meals. William does love his meat.
You will certainly lose weight. William eats less when he doesn't like stuff. This is one way to lose weight. But, he can stand to lose a little weight.
WE were at the pool at 5:30A this morning. It was good. When I work the earlier shift it is easier for me to get up early.
I have started to incorporate a little yoga into our exercises. I am starting with the very basics.
Balance is first. I ask William to place his feet solidly on the bottom of the pool and then just stand their and concentrate on balance. he says that it is difficult...but this is the start.
At the end of our workout...I have him do the relaxation of just floating on his back. He is getting a little better at this. He just has to float on his back. I have a noodle under his arms and ask him to push his butt up so that his legs don't pull him down. At first he insisted that the body would not float on the top of the water. I would push his bottom up and now it stays on top like it should. i have started having him incorporate scissor kicking legs while he is floating.
I have also started doing things slowly...Slower movements and more concentration.
Constant changes are good for the soul.
I also bought a llittle throw toy. I toss it to William and he catches and tosses it back to me. This works on his balance without his knowing it.
At the grocery store Wm asks me to buy ice cream. He loves that stuff. I told him nothing with a face or a mother. No dairy. Let's see how long this lasts.
