Here are a few words about Olivia's personal wellness plan?
For most of my adult life, I have attempted to live a healthy lifestyle. 91¿´Æ¬ †91¿´Æ¬ †What I list as eating habits and exercise apply to MOST of the time, with occasional breaks. 91¿´Æ¬ †91¿´Æ¬ †While I?m not a complete vegetarian, I do believe it is a goal worth accomplishing for good health. 91¿´Æ¬ †91¿´Æ¬ †I typically avoid red meat and pork, with a preference for seafood and poultry. 91¿´Æ¬ †91¿´Æ¬ †I include many fruits and vegetables, as often as possible. 91¿´Æ¬ †91¿´Æ¬ †Several small snacks during the day, rather than meals, are a necessity for me during the work week.
Exercise, including weight training, were a five/six-day weekly routine for me until a back injury caused an abrupt halt. 91¿´Æ¬ †91¿´Æ¬ †I now do light exercises and walking at home. 91¿´Æ¬ †91¿´Æ¬ †When weather is a problem, I have a unique walking program I call MissyWalking. 91¿´Æ¬ †91¿´Æ¬ †Missy and I share a large house, with plenty of room for walking indoors. 91¿´Æ¬ †91¿´Æ¬ †She also likes a lot of attention, ?she? being a twelve-year-old adopted toy poodle. 91¿´Æ¬ †91¿´Æ¬ †I get the benefit of weight resistance carrying her. 91¿´Æ¬ †91¿´Æ¬ †It takes a lot of trips from one end to the other, going through every room, but we both enjoy the love! 91¿´Æ¬ †91¿´Æ¬ †I even include occasional dance steps. 91¿´Æ¬ †91¿´Æ¬ †I pray every day for continued physical strength and good health for us both.
