Eat early and LOSE WEIGHT!

Joe Piscatella, author of Don't Eat Your Heart Out and Prevent, Halt & Reverse Heart Disease, shared the an interesting study from the University of Texas that supports the long held notion of the importance of eating a healthy breakfast.  400 to 500 calories of healthy foods in the morning will help hold down your appetite during the day!! 

Prepare your breakfast the night before (AS OFTEN AS POSSIBLE) and have it ready to go in the morning! GET OVER not wanting to eat breakfast!  Fight back your hunger and inability to stop binge eating during the day and evening by EATING healthfully in the morning.

Administrative Bullying

Have you been a victim - or do you know someone who has been fired or laid off due to "Administrative Bullying"?  Have you been fired or laid off due to an inferior superior's fear of YOU? 

Don't sit back and just let it happen.....let's talk!!

She's already lost 2 pounds in 6 days!!

I am happy to report that my blog post "Meet 3 challenges - or can you?" on February 25, 2011, had a POSITIVE IMPACT on one of my readers.....it hit a nerve, and at first she felt "insulted".  But after awhile (and in her own words) it just stuck with her and she could not stop thinking about it.  So, being the smart individual that she is.......she got over the pain of feeling kicked in the head with reality and she went to work!!  The first thing she did was set 3 goals based on the 3 challenges:  Increase exercise, stop drinking, and eat a healthier diet.  She picked March 1 as her "GO LIVE" date.....and when that day rolled around - she started her new plan.  In just 6 days she lost 2 pounds, is sleeping better, feeling better and has already increased the quality of her life.  GREAT JOB!!!  One of the things that is giving her strength is wearing her WiTHIN You Now!™ power bracelet which is giving her the extra boost she needs to engage her inner strength and power as she moves forward to a healthier, happier life. 

WINNING??? No....LOSING!!

So Charlie Sheen gained (in a short time) over a million followers on Twitter!  What this says is that millions and millions of people are consumed with the private life of someone who is a complete stranger with drug, emotional, moral and legal problems.  This says that millions of people are willing to take their precious time to actually log on and read postings that have nothing to do with their own life. OK - so I understand morbid curiosity and I understand wanting to get lost in fantasy (Vampire novels are at an all time high), so go ahead and follow Charlie - but do yourself a favor and do some "healthy" reading as well.  2/3rds of the nation's population is overweight or obese, pediatric obesity is at epidemic levels, and what used to be a size 14 is now a size 8.  Be a part of the solution - take a break from Charlie's health choices Tweets and focus on YOUR health.  Log on to www.americanheart.org, http://www.weightwatchers.org/, and consume yourself with information that will help you to make some healthy changes in your life that will keep you and your family members from an early trip to the graveyard. 

Streeeetching the Truth

Stretchy clothes feel good, they can look GREAT with the right accessories and are a MUST for exercise....but don't get too comfy!!  Keep your tightest blue jeans hanging in your closet where you can get to them and INTO THEM with ease at least once a week.

USA and Overweight/Obesity

There exists a lower prevalence of heart disease in the people of Italy, Africa and Japan...until they move to the United States and adopt a lifestyle that increases coronary artery risks......specifically more food, more fat and fast food.

Today is the best day to treat yourself to a low fat, low calorie meal plan and lots of exercise (at least 30 minutes)............right here in the USA!

Murder by Heart Disease is NO Mystery

In a good who done it? murder mystery, the answers are difficult to find and it takes days, weeks, sometimes years of sleuth and examining evidence to uncover the killer, the weapon and the motive!

In a real life, however, when someone dies prematurely from heart disease, the killer and weapon(s), 
are easily uncovered.  The only mystery left in this murder for the grieving survivors to ponder is motive.  Why did the deceased choose an early trip to the graveyard over prevention?

Heart disease is preventable!  For every one person with heart disease because of family genes, there are 500 people who have it because of lifestyle decisions (NCHS and NHLBI).

Make a decision to lose weight and keep it off forever.
