Whew!!

So I just tried my new 'rebounder'. And let me tell you, within the first three mintues it had already kicked my butt, but I managed to get through 5 mins. 5 mins and I am already tired and I mean wore out. So that either means that this works really well or that I am really out of shape. Probably both.

I can tell that I will be encouraging all of the stay at home mothers, and those that do not have a lot of time to exercise, that this is the way to go for exercise.

Betterment

Recently I have been feeling like I need to better myself in different ways. This week has been learning to improve my health. My energy hasn't been as high as I know it could be and my body just tells me I need to do something about that, so...possibly due to an answer to prayer I have found several things that will help me as well as Larry (if he has time).

The first one is called psyllium husk powder. It is normally used as part of a colon cleanse system, but I was only able to obtain the powder for the time being. I am not going to try to explain it to you because I am not that great with words but I will post here a website that can. Enjoy...

Another wonderful addition to my exercise/health part of my betterment is what most people already have heard about but do not necessarily know what kind of help and also fun it can give us. I have also been looking for a way to get some aerobic exercise at home. This was the perfect remedy...its called 'rebounding'. :)
