Eating is not the only important thing...

It's just a big part of it. A big part of going green, or becoming more eco friendly is to enjoy the outdoors. If you get out and enjoy nature, you will be reminded of why you do the extra work you do for it in the first place. As well as getting excersise. You can eat healthy all you want, but to keep a balance you must get enough physical activity.

Start small. Go for walks, do jumping jacks, chase your kids around. Once you get going a little bit everyday, step it up, do a short jog, go biking. Sprint up hills. Even climbing a tree.

Here is how I started, and this is while being pregnant.

3 times a week. I either go for a walk, or do 1 hour of yoga. Of course I drink a lot of extra water and give myself plenty of rest. After the baby I plan to start jogging, hiking, and getting daily excersise.  The key is not to workout one time of the day but to spread it out. It does no good to workout for 1/2 an hour then sit around all day. Keep moving, that is the key. I promise it will get easier.

The more you do it, the better you feel, the better you feel, the more you want to do it. The results, a healthier you!
