Write It Down

I thought of making a journal for weight loss so I can see progress and at the same time keep me going.  I really really want to lose weight.  Something that has always been in my New Year’s resolution.  I know that lately I have been posting alot lately about this topic but I want to don’t want to reach 30 years old fat and ugly.  My time is running out because I will turn 30 soon.  As I was checking for ideas on the web about weight loss journal, I came across some videos about lapband surgery.  Based on the videos and pictures, there were great improvements.  I think that operation is recommended for the highly obesed folks since their lives are already in great danger.  I don’t think I will have to wait for that for me to happen.  I better exercise now.

Healthy Living

I often complain about how much weight I gained over the past few years.  I know exactly why but just doesn’t want to start working on it.  For those people who wanted to lose weight, there’s no big secret.  We all know that we just have to exercise and eat healthy.  Since me and the Husband are both techi-holics, glued to our laptops most of the time, we ‘forget’ those two golden rules.  It all comes back though in the morning when we will be weighing ourselves.  Hehe.  I will have to tell him about freshfunds, - my new discovery.  We need to change our diet and get healthy products at the store next time we go grocery shopping.  Then, I can earn points and bid on exercise machines at freshfunds.com.  Talk about killing two birds with one stone.  I think kids will find The Sproutwells video entertaining yet it still teaches them the value of health.

Tomato..Bow!

It was only this year that I appreciate tomato juice.  I often see it the juice aisle but never imagined myself drinking it.  The husband get me into drinking tomato juice as well as vegetable juice.  Don’t get me wrong, I eat tomatoes with fried fish, or as pasta sauce or as a ketchup.

As I go over the nutritional value list, I found interesting health facts that tomatoes have.  Of course, we all know that tomato has lycopene which is a great anti-oxidant.  Not only that it helps improve good eyesight but it is also known to prevent certain cancers like prostate, breast, intestinal as well as pancreatic.  For best results, it is recommended to take it with olive oil or nuts because lycopene is fat-soluble.  Tomato also has vitamin C, A, potassium and iron.  It also contains riboflavin (aka B12) which is an energy booster.

Battle of the Bulge

It is quite a rainy wednesday although the temperature is not as cold as it has been for the past week.  It is always so tempting to crawl back to bed and continue sleeping or just lay there and read a good book.  Which ever one it is, it makes me miss my exercise routine.  I prefer excercising early in the morning because I get too lazy if I do it in the afternoon. I don’t have the luxury to do weight loss tampa style.  So far my diet which involves not eating simple carbs has been very effective but if I want to lose more, I got to stick to the exercise part as well.
