TGIF – Healthy Living While You Still Can

March 30, 2012 by Bill Bradley

As the week winds down, we wind down with some tidbits for your information, education, health, and enjoyment.

NOOOOOOOOOO!!! IT IS ALL NON-FAT, NO CALORIES, I SWEAR!

 

Quote of the Week: “With my sunglasses on I’m Jack Nicholson; without them, I’m fat and 60!”  Jack Nicholson

Humor Break:

Bev: Al, did you did you go to that new exercise class today?
Al: No.
Bev: Why not?
Al: They told me I had to wear loose-fitting clothes.
Bev: So?
Al: If I had any loose-fitting clothes I wouldn’t have signed up in the first place.

Stat of the Week: I started my weight loss program on Wednesday.  I weighted “X”. (You didn’t think I would confess my real weight did you?) Too early to report anything significant except that I have stuck to the plan for 2 whole, long, days.  But I am helped along with 7 healthy dieting and weight loss tips from an excellent article on healthy living.

Action Tip: From the same article consider this quote: “The key is to create a (weight loss) plan that provides plenty of enjoyable choices, avoid common dieting pitfalls, and learn how to develop a healthier, more satisfying relationship with food.”

 Weight Watch – Week 1: No more sweets, butter, very limited bread and much more water and raw carrots.  Two days into the wellness program (Not DIET OR EXERCISE program – important difference I think) and that is what I notice the most.  One reader has agreed to join me for the 16 week journey. I appreciate that support.  I need some coaching.  What should I do in the evenings when hit with “snack/sweet” desires?

    Mike, good luck with the wellness program. Secret for those evening snack/sweet desires: some good cheese. Seriously, it works. Secret to weight loss is to reduce carbs. Eliminate sugar and processed foods, especially breads. Read http://www.nytimes.com/2002/07/07/magazine/what-if-it-s-all-been-a-big-fat-lie.html?pagewanted=all&src=pm
