Is there a preference?

I ate healthier this week. Lots of citrus rich fruit mainly pineapple. I also got alot of sleep. I went to the gym 3 times this week and worked out for 30 minutes; I felt so refreshed afterwards. I'm going to experiment and see if my body has a preference for exercise: morning or evening. Even though one has to fit exercise into their schedule many people let it fall where it may but if your body seems to respond better after a certain time period then you should pay attention. So, we'll see if my body has a preference for staying in tip-top shape.

Looking at the Mental Picture...

*Please Note: This show is Christian based. However, the content I am about to explain isn't. I do believe in religion however, I am not promoting/advocating for it on this newsfeed. I am simply supplying information related to my choice topic: exercise and health and the feature story they showcased provided great information.


I saw an interesting piece on exercise and dieting Wednesday morning, on The 700 Club. Dr. Ian Smith has written a book entitled, "The 4-Day Diet" in which he provides helpful tips in order to help people lose weight, which is a 100% process: 80% mental and 20% physical. The concept he provided would not only help with losing weight, in my opinion, but also with exercise. I think that in order to have and maintain a healthy lifestyle, one must have a strong mental outlook in order to deal with the pressures ahead.

“I have learned a tremendous amount from their personal experiences,” said Dr. Smith. “If you don't get your mind right, it will only work against you.”

Included in the goodies section on the website is a "Train Your Brain and Lose Weight Sheet" which helps you keep track with your targeted goal. He is also head of the 50 million pound challenge, where you can also keep track of your progress with features like a weight tracker, a journal, a meal planner, an activity or exercise planner, and a team planner.

I'm Getting There

I exerised 3 times this week. It wasn't as hard as I thought and I felt really good afterwards.I'm going to try and start rock climbing too because I always thought it would be cool to try. I didn't eat as healthy as I should have this week but I'm going to incorporate more salads into my meals. I want to run in a marathon soon but it may be too much too soon; so we'll see.

Its a Start...

Health is important and exercise helps in making sure that we are in the best condition possible. Alot of people make it seem like work and I used to think that way myself. I changed my outlook and now; I view it as enjoyment. I know alot of things in life don't have immediate results and exercise is definately no exeception but its one of those things that will definately improve your quality of life so that you can do the things you want. This year I'm going to take it week by week. A little every day (ex: push ups, sit ups) and 4 times at the gym. We'll see how it goes. =]
