Melinda and I have always tried to live a somewhat healthy lifestyle. Do we fall off the wagon sometimes? Heck yeah but this time we are both really making an effort to get healthy and stay healthy.
Melinda and I started running and are currently training for a 5k so that shows how serious we are about this because Melinda and I are not big runners. I must admit though I am starting to enjoy running just as much as I do cycling. Not sure Melinda is at the enjoyment stage yet but she is hanging in and trying to get to that point.
I have started taking a daily vitamin and protein powder to try and keep my body in the best shape I can while trying to lose weight. Also, why is it so easy to put weight on but SOOOOO hard to take it off? Wish there was an answer to this question and now I understand why more people don’t work out because it is hard work and sometimes it just down right hurts.
Recently someone told me about LiveTru and how they have a great selection of essential oils as well as health and wellness products. Finding a place that has good quality products is hard to find because when it comes to exercise and healthy living everyone is trying to make a quick buck off of the consumer. So when someone I know makes a recommendation I am sure to check them out.
I was searching LiveTru last night for some kind of oil or cream that I could apply on my calf which I seemed to tweak this past Saturday while running. Hopefully I am able to get it back into shape before this weekend because on Saturday I am planning on running my first 5k and then I am riding 65 miles on Sunday with two friends.
Working out and getting into shape is super hard but I know when Melinda and I are at our ideal weight we are going to be glad we did all of this hard painful work.
