My wife and I have been enjoying mountain biking and trail running. We try and plan as many joint exercises sessions as we can during the week to help motivate each other. This winter we plan to add snow shoeing to our activities. Find anything you enjoy that keeps you moving. Toss the scales. The way your clothes fit is a better indication of your weight than the dreaded scale

Muscle burns 35 calories/lb compared to fat which burns 2 calories/lb. You may not lose as much weight, but you'll replace fat with muscle, and how your clothes fit will reflect your progress. Fat free can cost a lot. Fat-free foods often have an abundance of carbohydrates (sugars). If you don't use all the sugar energy up by exercising the same day, the extra sugar will eventually be stored in your body as fat. Jump start your metabolism. Acupuncture and herbs can often rebalance a sluggish digestive system. Improve function, eat less, but more frequently. This keeps your metabolism active all day.
