I did not buy an expensive bike knowing from past experience they can turn into very handy clothes catchers. I bought one that can fold up into an 18-inch square for storage if I found I wasn't using it. Always read or listen to a book or watch YouTube when riding. Also - highly recommend Pahla B's over 50 exercise and weight control videos on YouTube. Excellent at home routines. Five miles on the bike, 30 minutes with Pahla and I am good to go.

I cut them the length of my ironing board and lay out 8 chains at a time and then cut and press. I have piles to square up and have no idea what I'll do with them.

I think part of it is that there are NO off limits foods - just get control of your serving size. I say I can have ANYTHING I want - I might not have ALL that I want, but enough to take care of the craving. Potato soup is a favorite and we have it often in the winter. <br />All the best for a great week, everyone.

But I have cut out butter (olive oil instead) most beef and most sugar ( a little honey in my morning tea). I am never hungry. I do walk most days but only 30 minutes. I need to find a good workout to do inside as winter is upon us high in the Colorado Rockies. Good luck to you I love your blog and all the wonderful pictures and stories you share with all of us.

It is so easy for doctors to tell you what you should do. We lived in SW Wyoming elevation 7000 and winter much of the year. I was told I should spend my lunch hour walking in the cold dressed in my professional wardrobe required by the bank three times a week! I agree with MaryAnn, you get more cardio than most of us!

I say wait until Spring, you'll be all over salads and veggies--it's hibernate, be sedentary, hand quilt and heal time! if you don't mind another suggestion, on your 'shopping' trips to thrift stores, pick up a few sets of sheets, 'justin case' !!!! A spare set or 3 or 5 might come in handy (given need for storage) if something untoward like a broken machine, should occur mid-change over... just something i thought of in the middle of the dark the other early morning... my creative brain must find SOMEthing to do waiting for the mystery!

Have been using them for about 3-1/2 yr. You go at your own pace and it does keep you in shap and the cardio is good too. They are about 20 to 45 min in length. Just type Walk at home into the search bar on you-tube and away you go. When I had my surgery in April 19 I was glad I had been using them. as it made the recovery easier. robynfamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18054995397104992463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-65832505172325512692021-11-16T09:15:44.156-05:002021-11-16T09:15:44.156-05:00Dieting is so over rated. 🙃Dieting is so over rated. 🙃Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16258152757666273583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-39705930306013799932021-11-16T09:08:31.961-05:002021-11-16T09:08:31.961-05:00Hi Bonnie,

It can be challenging when the weather outside doesn't lend itself to a walk. Check-out You Tube videos. Search for "low-impact cardio workouts". I'm sure you'll find something that works for you.
