Get Up & Get Moving: Week 5

I am happy to report instead of gaining a few pounds this Fourth of July weekend, I lost a pound. I was really good about eating fruit and having salads before every meal. Filling myself up with healthy foods before diving into the junk food really made a difference. I even past up dessert. I know, who can pass up dessert, but I found I was full and didn’t really need to eat more. I am sure; however, it must have tasted good because my daughter had two helpings.

Health Tip: A good way to know you are getting good nutrition from your eating plan is to ask yourself how you honestly look and feel. A healthy eating plan will include lean proteins, grains, nuts, fresh fruits and vegetables, and healthy fats that provide enough calories to support your lifestyle. A balanced diet will not exclude any one-food group.

Here is an article about the 10 signs of good nutrition: 10 Signs Do You Have It

“So much time, and so little to do! Strike that, reverse it.”

Have you ever had one of those days where you just want to lay in bed doing nothing? I found myself feeling exactly like this today. But as much as I wanted to just lay there in my warm cozy bed . . . I could not. Nope, there was just so much time and so little to do! Strike that . . . reverse it, as the wise Willy Wonka once said. I have always loved that line from the 1971 version of Willy Wonka. I find I say it a lot, because it seems my life is always full of things to do. Wouldn’t it be nice to really have so much time and very little to do once in awhile? I would love to say today was one of those days, but it wasn’t. Instead of relaxing, I start planning next week’s workload. I also look at the things on my To-Do list and see which ones might have to be moved out to the following week. I am glad to say … not too many things need to be moved out, however, website updates will be. All authors know having a website is very important to building your marketing platform. After...

The Influence of Storytelling in Politics

The art of storytelling in politics is as ancient as politics itself, but in today's media-driven world, its influence has reached new heights. From the inception of political campaigns, narratives have been crafted to appeal to emotions, rally support, and discredit opponents.

Get Up & Get Moving: Week 9

Well, this past week was another busy week at my house. I somehow hurt my rib cage on which pretty much kept me from doing any exercising. Not sure what I did or even how it happened, but it is pretty sore. My baby girl isn’t happy mommy can’t carry her around all day because it hurts too much. I’m hoping after another week of resting, I’ll be back up and moving around in less to no pain. So with that last thought here is the health tip for this week: 3 Risks of Fasting for Weight Loss http://www.fitday.com/fitness-articles/fitness/weight-loss/3-risks-of-fasting-for-weight-loss.html August 2, 2010 Weight 187 July 19, 2010 Weight 188 Goal weight by December 31, 2010 130 I have been using a log to track my activity level and food intake each day.
