Make Change Happen

-

This applies to so many areas of my life. Life gets busy, priorities change and sometimes while things seems okay, they really are not. I reached a point where I was not happy with my weight because it held me back from things I really wanted to do. I wasn't happy with the threats of serious health problems and the medications I had to take, and the side effects didn't look good either. I started this health journey with a brand name program. In one year I lost some weight but my health still got worse. So I did this health assessment as a starting point. From day one it made sense. I have had some setbacks. Especially this summer, still trying to figure the cause, damage, and course of action. The setbacks, no biggie, I am bouncing back better than ever. In 2 weeks under doctors guidance I gained 7.5lbs. Took me over the 200lbs mark again. Ugh. BUT the threat of serious health problems were all diminished, some even eliminated. Then I got the all clear and I was able to go back on program... today is Day 6 and I already re-lost 8lbs! Not surprised, the program works. Not saying you will do as o did, but what if you did better? I will continue to have setbacks but I keep on. With all the darn hurdles I keep encountering, I am still succeeding. I do learn a lot from books but good old fashion 1st hand experience is making me stronger to continue on. If you would like to know more about my journey, I am willing to share. Ask away. Don't be hesitant to start your health journey. let's do it.

Where to Purchase Shoes

My chosen method of exercise is walking. I can do it almost anywhere at almost any time. I have heard of walking referred to as the simplest, easiest, least expensive method of exercise. Least expensive does not mean 100% free. There is no charge to go out and walk around. Walking at the local park is free, but walking at local amusement park is not. Therefore, I will agree, walking can be free but not 100% free. Walking requires I wear shoes. Walking across a bare foot is not for me. Soft grass feels nice but most of the time grass feels like tiny sharp points. It may not be as bad as walking across a floor filled with Legos, but I can't walk on grass for an extended period of time. Walking on a typical street sidewalk is doable, but again, I can not do it for an extended period of time. I need padding otherwise my heal starts to hurt. Walking for me requires having a good pair of shoes. Previously I spoke about knowing if is it time for a new sneakers ? My answer was, yes. Ne

Healthier Choice, Still Over Budget

Today I did a better job than yesterday, but not by much. Overall it is a step in the right direction.  Here is the break down: + Logged all my calories using LoseIt + Consumed less calories. - Was over my daily caloric budget. + Consumed healthier food. - Had too much food. + Drank more fluids. - Had 2 glasses of diet soda. + Did some physical labor - Should have walked more, tracked by FitBit Here are some snapshots from my lunch today. The food at the Soupplantation was yummy. I would h ave had a third plate, but did not want to go further over budget than yesterday. Here is a glimpse at my physical labor. I swept a drive way and collected a can full of leaves and twigs. Getting into the gym to workout is not really an option for me, so I find ways like this to workout.

2011_0117 Counting Calories at Disneyland

-
Over the weekend we went to Disneyland. I did not take the tram ride from the parking lot to the main entrance. Instead I decided to walk. The distance from the elevator at the Mickey & Friends Parking Lot to the Check-Point where the trams drop you off is 0.60miles. I brought with me some fresh fruit and some bottles of water, in effort to curve temptation to eat too much junk food. When it was finally time for dinner, I decided I would eat at the Red Rocket Pizza Port in Tomorrow Land. I wanted to enjoy my dinner but not go crazy with the calorie count. The menu board did not have calorie counts, no where obvious where nutritional values posted either. I asked the door greeter where I could find the information. He said to ask anyone behind the counter. Including him, I asked 4 employees in there. Each would point me to the next person until the kitchen was gave me a response. "We are still collection information, so we don't have the information." That left me pu
