69. Oh I did....
Sun Dec 9, 2012, 02:17 PM
Dec 2012

walked about 20 to 45 minutes/day and did aerobics for 60 minutes about 5 to 6 days a week.

As I said, my problem was eating at night....and that just counteracted all of my day's work. Plus I was eating healthily...a non-dairy diet at the time.

Regarding walking: if you live in a climate with 4 seasons, sometimes getting outside in 95 degree weather or 10 degree weather is tough. Plus you will find that many towns don't have sidewalks. So one must drive to a place to walk....and hopefully the sidewalks have been shoveled.

We don't all live in temperate climates like San Francisco. And lots of us don't live in big homes where we can install a treadmill (or can we afford it). I lift milk cartons filled with dirt/sand.

I guess we can all go walk at the mall, but I really need some hills to go my heart pumping.

The cheapest form of exercise is putting music on and dancing...that's usually what I do.

But I still miss the Chinese Herb.
