2. What do you Tivo? Love my Tivo! I tivo regular shows that I watch in case I'm not around to watch them, Gray's Anatomy, Desperate Housewives, House, Oprah (then selectively delete the ones I don't want to watch). I Tivo movies and then watch them when I have a chance.
4? 0? 3? 1? 5? 2?

Level 0: Any activity beyond what it takes to get through your day is accidental.
Aerobic exercise: none. Strength training: none.
Level 1: You see value in activity, so you look for creative ways to move throughout the day, but you don’t formally work out.
Aerobic exercise: none. Strength training: none.
Level 2: You have a moderate but consistent exercise schedule.
Aerobic exercise: Three times a week, at least 90 minutes total. Strength training: none
Level 3: You make sure to exercise at least five days a week, usually the same workout. Aerobic exercise: four times a week, 150 minutes total.
Strength training: at least two times a week, a minimum of six exercises.
Level 4: You work out almost every day, cross-training with multiple activities.
Aerobic exercise: five times a week, at least 250 minutes total.
Strength training: at least three times a week, a minimum of eight exercises.
Level 5: Exercise isn’t just how you stay healthy; it’s a way of life.
Aerobic exercise: six times a week, a minimum of 360 minutes total.
Strength training: at least three times a week, a minimum of ten exercises.
I'm pretty much a 3 although there's a bit of 2 in me!
4. Two (or more) places you would like to visit during this year
Budget restraints are going to pretty much put a halt to any thoughts of going anywhere this year.
"Exercise and application produce order in our affairs, health of body, cheerfulness of mind, and these make us precious to our friends." Thomas Jefferson
5. Two ways (or more) you reduce risk of injury and/or illness
1. Stretching and including basic exercises that I learned from the orthopedist and PT to help with tendonitis and bursitis.
2. Vitamins and calcium pills and my bp medication
3. Exercise and eating right on a consistent basis.
4. Trying to keep stress levels at a minimum and trying not to sweat the small stuff (eaier said than done some days).
Bonus Question: Do you have a favorite healthy recipe w/Chicken in it you would like to share? This was dinner last night and everyone really enjoys them. Simple, quick and delicious! Baked Chimichangas
Ingredients
2 ½ cups shredded cooked chicken breast 1 cup salsa 1 small onion, chopped ¾ tsp. ground cumin ½ tsp. oregano 6 flour tortillas (10 inches) ¾ cup shredded reduced fat cheddar cheese 1 cup reduced sodium chicken broth 2 tsp. chicken bouillon granules 1/8 tsp. pepper 1/4 cup flour 1 cup fat free half and half 1 can (4oz) chopped green chiles
Directions:
In a nonstick skillet, simmer chicken, salsa, onion, cumin and oregano until heated through and most of the liquid has evaporated. Place ½ cup down the center of each tortilla; top with 2 Tbsp. cheese. Fold sides and ends over filling and roll up. Place seam side down in a 13 x 9 x 2 baking dish coated with non stick cooking spray. Bake uncovered at 425 for 15 minutes or until lightly browned.
Meanwhile in a saucepan, heat the broth, bouillon and pepper until bouillon is dissolved. Combine flour and cream until smooth; stir into the broth. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Stir in chiles and heat through. To serve, cut chimichangas in half, spoon sauce over the top.
