Congratulations to Monika K. who won our July 29 contest by telling us about what's going well in her life right now.
Monika K. says:
"Not knowing anything about my biological parents makes me very conscientious about how I prepare foods at home. I favour low fat, low (or no) added sodium, mild/moderate exercise.... Being lactose intolerant also is a factor in what I prepare.
Because of my choices in what we eat daily, that makes us both healthier in the long run. My husband and I are both in good shape, we sleep well - and neither has ever smoked. Maintaining what is working for us now, seems to be key in keeping us healthy.
We love traveling and are active on a trip - no lying around waiting for the flight home! Whether it's a quick 2-3 night getaway or longer, we try to enjoy the destination to the fullest in the time we have there. Sure we'll indulge in treats while away - but are back on track once we return. So far, neither one of us has gained any weight when we've been on holidays. And it's not like we don't eat - because we do! Must be all the activity we do, and are able to burn off the added calories."
Way to go! Monika K. has won a copy of High Performance Health: 10 real life solutions to redefine your health and revolutionize you life by James M. Rippe, M.D.
