After two weeks at two very different destination spas, Green Mountain and New Life Hiking Spa in Vermont, I'm back home implementing changes. I'm challenging myself with hills and wearing a heart rate monitor that keeps me "in the zone." I had ice cream (two scoops of good quality vanilla piled with fresh, local berries) for dinner on Saturday. And the scale is in the attic, but I know I'm making progress because I fit into a smaller pair of jeans! Tools That Hinder: The Scale After one last weigh-in that disappointed me, as usual (why are bad relationships so predictable?), I banished my scale to the attic. Why is life better without it? Tools That Help: The Polar Heart Rate Monitor I used to have one of these, but didn't replace it when it finally gave out. Could that be when I started losing cardio fitness? The new one has lots of great features that makes it well worth the price.
