I've been really focusing on making sure I'm drinking plenty of water to start with. I've been averaging 90-100 ounces a day, which has helped me feel SO much better! I've also been trying to make sure I'm getting at least 8 hours of sleep at night, which is great, too. Little by little, I'm trying to add in more forms of exercise (some walking, some yoga, some very minor weight lifting, etc.). I can't wait for the warm streak we'll be getting so I can actually take a walk outside!!Brynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15793008765703664289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1639089575828146727.post-12438630267883739312015-02-24T14:09:08.290-06:002015-02-24T14:09:08.290-06:00I agree, it's always fun to put on a new worko...I agree, it's always fun to put on a new workout outfit and try it out!Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13818357528494159480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1639089575828146727.post-21983714043257209532015-02-24T14:08:22.170-06:002015-02-24T14:08:22.170-06:00Oh no!
