Fall in love with taking care of yourself.

     I just watched Tuesday night's episode of "Biggest Loser" while doing some yoga and stretching.  I had to watch to see Michelle Obama.  She is the most impressive First Lady! She not only talks the talk, but she walks the walk.  I cannot imagine any other First Lady doing a sweaty workout with the Biggest Loser Team while being televised for national television.  She is really fit and is an excellent example for us all. She is also sincere in her wishes to make America, and especially America's children, more fit.  Go to the website "Letsmove.gov"  for more information on her "Let's Move" initiative.
   

     Summer is coming.  I read somewhere, and can't seem to recall the source, that the popularity of dieting is fading.  People have realized that healthy eating and exercise are what works in the long-term to get that summer leanness that we all desire.  It's all life-style.
     Here is a good blog on "leaning out for summer."   I like the suggestions to not eat less, just eat cleaner;  to not exercise more, but to be more active;  and to spend time outdoors.....easy small efforts that are doable for all of us.
Here is the blog:
