It all starts with a balanced diet. I don't mean excluding things I like and deprivation. I eat 3 meals a day. I start big in the morning and work my calorie count down in the evening as opposed to the usual way of starting low and building up to a big dinner. That said all of my meals are portion conscious. I allow two snacks a day and one is usually a piece of fruit and the other a KIND Bar. If I feel like slipping in cookies or cake occasionally I don't buy a bag of cookies or whole cake. I'll buy one cookie or one slice of cake from the bakery or coffee shop and be done with the craving.

My exercise routine includes dance fitness (Zumba, hip-hop, ballroom dancing), water fitness class. My class doesn't just jump in the water like many water aerobics classes do. We do boot camp calisthenics, aerobics, Pilates movements, dance, and weight training in the pool.

The dancing sounds like so much fun! I should try to join some kind of class.

I just got back from my "daily" walk. But I had to clunk around in my snow boots, and that was more than twice the effort! (And added 15 minutes!) Our roads are still snow covered. I've not been able to walk due to one thing or another...really frigid temps, daughter having a baby, out to dinner...and I was determined to get out there today.

Oh yes, and that good diet. I eat very healthy 7/8 of the time.
