In the last few years I've been trying to eat healthier, I quit eating fast foods like McDs and BK, drink more water, I used to drink two or three cans of coke a day, exercise by way of walking and enjoy myself a little bit more.  I started waking up earlier a while back too and I try to take full advantage of it. If it's nice out, which it is most days, I take an hour power walk around the neighborhood.  I used to take my dog, Slinky, for walks every morning but she quit wanting to walk with me. I guess walking for an hour isn't Ms. Thing's thing :)
