Back to Work

Going back to work can be good for getting in better eating habits. I eat less while at work but then I get home and I have to say I eat some of the wrong things. While fixing dinner I tend to snack. Dieting sucks!

Summer Nutrition

Let's face it during the summer we eat a lot more chips and hamburgers. We drink more soda and shakes. And obviously this is not good in terms of trying to lose weight. There are some simple things that we can do in our summer routine that would help us to get into better shape. For instance when golfing, walk don't ride. When you have a family reunion eat more fruit rather than sugar sweets. Eat a healthy breakfast rather than eating the traditional pancakes, eggs and bacon. Sometimes this is hard to do but if we can get into the habit it will become apart of us.

Been walking a lot lately. Any one have any idea what shoes are the best for walking. My feet kinda hurt and I do wear older shoes. My walking consists of 18 holes of golf which takes about 4 hours to play. Golf shoes are not comfortable nor are the old tennis shoes, but I have wondered about the Sketcher Shape-Ups. Any ideas about them?

Overeating = Stress or Boredom?

Do you eat out of boredom, nervousness or anxiousness? What is that exactly? Does it mean that we overeat or do we eat the wrong things. I think a bit of both. Do we overeat when we are stressed because we don't want to feel that stress? Are we that bored in life that in order to keep from being bored, eating gives us something to do? Help I think I'm stuck in this stage!

Advice for today...

Get plenty of sleep, water, fruit and vegetables. I think you could live on those things a lone.

The Cancer Project

I was reading in a McCall magazine and came across an ad on The Cancer Project. It was a short article describing how to lower cholesterol and how eating healthy, eating more fruits and vegetables could possibly prevent cancer. Then I went to the websites THE CANCER PROJECT I found recipes, research, nutrition tips and basically information about eating right and staying healthy. Check out their website at http://www.cancerproject.org/ The Cancer Project

Advice of the day...

Have some self control...instead of having second helpings to dinner...walk away from the table.

Advice for today...

Keep away from too much Sugar!!!!

Messed up a bit with the diet this week. Eating way too much homemade bread and rolls. Ever heard of the Diet Solution? The Diet Solution consists of a manual that helps you learn if you are a carbohydrate type or a protein type. And then there are suggested meals and foods that are best for you. Sisters can give the best advice.

I am moving very slow losing weight only I know it's a lot but I am going to make it.

Migraine Headaches

What is a Migraine Headache they say it is a neurological syndrome that is characterized by changing perceptions of the body, severe headaches, and nausea. Physiologically, the migraine headache is a neurological condition. And from what I understand is that it is more prevalent in women than men. I can attest to this today. My head hurt so bad this morning that I went to work for about 1 hour and had to come home. I took my Tylenol and fell asleep for about 2 hours. When I woke up the headache was pretty much gone. The crazy thing is that I can't even remember going to work. I don't think that I've had a headache near as bad as this one before. Could it be that Migraine headaches are related somehow to sinus infections? or maybe even STRESS?

Setting a Goal to Get Healthy

In many health articles they all suggest that you must first set a goal to become healthy. The first goal that must be met is to visit with your doctor to see if you are okay to start exercising. Come on! Tell me what doctor is going to tell you that you shouldn't exercise? Every time that I go to the doctor I feel guilty and embarrassed that I am so overweight that of course the first words out of his mouth is "how many times a week do you exercise?" So obviously we have to get our butts off the couch and start exercising. Exercising must become the first goal to becoming healthy. We should stretch every single day, walk around every 30 minutes, drink water all day, eat the right kinds of foods, and keep ourselves motivated. Sounds simple right?

Sleep

Tell me why is getting a good night sleep so important. Experts say it is for the body to rejuvenate. I totally agree. Getting a good night sleep is sometimes impossible. Is it that the bed is too soft, too hard? Is it the your mind won't stop when it is time to sleep. Or is it that we get too much sleep and when we wake up we just are not tired enough to fall back a sleep. Definitely aging has taken a toll. Having to wake up two or three times because the bladder can't make it all night long? When you are younger (20's) the body doesn't seem to need a lot of sleep. But in your 40's the body is tired but can't sleep when you need to. Any thoughts on this crazy thing called sleep?

Stress and being too Busy

Today was a tough day. Long and stressful but productive. However found myself not eating as well as I should. Not drinking enough water and not taking the time to eat anything. Starving is not the answer. Sometimes I get so wrapped up in work that I forget to eat. This is not a good habit to get into.

Today was good...

So when I that I have no self control when it comes to food. I too surprise myself. I actually drove across town without feeling the need to stop and any fast food restaurants. I think this might be a first. I actually had the will power to stop and get groceries and come home and make chicken and a salad for dinner. Today was good...

It has been too long...

I haven't been on the treadmill forever. Tonight I walked about 3 miles an hour for 30 minuets. I am so out of shape that it is disgusting. It may take me several months to walk myself healthier. I have about 75 pounds to lose and the goal is to lose them by December.
