Health and Nutrition That Is AboveNBeyond

Now and then regardless of how successful you are, your worst enemy can rear it’s ugly head. There can be many reasons for this such as seeing what other people are doing and you can’t or feeling like you aren’t getting anywhere. Or, you could have just lost 15 or 20 pounds and it seems like you can’t loose anymore. Another example could be that you took a break from this and have found it hard to get back into it. These feelings are normal. My wife and I have been there. Your continued perseverance will pay off. I know it can seem frustrating when you have hit a wall. But remember this, walls were built, so they can be taken down. To start tearing that wall down, you need to concentrate on the basics and stick with it:

1. Portion control
2. Eating right and avoid the bad foods
3. Pay attention to the Nutrition labels
4. Weigh yourself once a week, not every day
5. Don’t eat after 7 or 8 at night

These are just some basics to follow on your way to weight loss. Easy, no it’s not, but, you have to un-learn habits you picked up along the way. Besides, do you want your enemy to win? Of course not. Continue working on it and say good bye to your worst enemy forever! Understand that your success or failure starts and ends with you. How mad do you have to get before you say enough is enough and take control to banish your worst enemy? Keeping all this in mind, weight loss is only the beginning and you need to get proper nutrition as well.

With both my wife and I living this lifestyle of eating right and exercise, we have discovered some really good websites out there that we want to share. Here are a few:

1. Hungrygirl.com
2. 3fatchicks.com
3. Sparkpeople.com
4. Kimbenson.com

Check these sites out! They are very informative and useful.

When dealing with other issues like getting over a sickness or injury, paying off a mortgage etc, weight loss is no different then these issues. It doesn’t happen over night.
Patients, discipline, focus and effort all play apart in achieving goals. On the other hand, fear, emotions, doubt and lack of confidence can lead to interfering with making the effort or continuing the effort of achieving your weight loss (or other) goals. Make a commitment and stick to it. You’ll get there. Basically, it took you a while to get overweight, and it will take you a while to loose it too. Never starve yourself to loose weight, because you actually need to eat to loose weight.

One thing that people tend to forget or not think of is that you need to think of this as a change of lifestyle and not a diet. Diet signifies short term. The problem is if you don’t let go of those bad habits, you could get right back to where you started from and you don’t ant that. What do you got to loose by working at loosing weight? Weight ?? Go for it! How will you be 6 months from now?

Life can sometimes get your way and influence your attitude. People can do that too. I perceive that there are 3 groups of attitudes: Good, Bad and Ugly. I’m being simple here on the 3 types. Let’s start with the Ugly Attitude first.

The Ugly Attitude: This goes far beyond the Bad types. Nothing is good and this person is not open to anything at all. One view, his/her view and that is it. This person has few friends and it’s no wonder why.

The Bad Attitude: Having a bad attitude could be a result of a recent bad experience and the person hasn’t yet gotten over it. This type is nowhere near like the Ugly Attitude. Bad attitudes can come and go.

The Good Attitude: Those who have a good attitude are not immune to the Bad Attitude, but, is usually on good terms. These types usually bounce back quickly after a bad experience.

Your everyday life is affected in some way by your attitude. Your health, outlook, and daily routine can all be in some way touched by your outlook. Take for instance, you may not feel like doing something depending upon how your attitude is. Your attitude could be a result of depression, injury, sickness , or even a positive event.
If you are having a real bad day today, here is something to try, look in a mirror and smile, it may just get you going. Attitude is like good or bad weather, it can change from one day to the next. Get out from under the rain cloud and poor out the sunshine today!

It’s amazing how making simple choices can lead to huge outcomes. If you start making changes now, in a while, those little changes will start a ball rolling that will make a big difference in your life. Nothing good happens over night and without effort. No one said that it had to cost much too! Let’s say that weight loss is your goal. Here are a few choices you could start with:

1. Control your portions: Start limiting your portions to a reasonable size and stop eating excessively.
2. Nutrition Labels: Pay attention to the Nutrition Labels on any food or drink items.
3. Vitamins: Get some, such as a multi-vitamin.
4. Exercise: You don’t have to belong to a gym for this one
5. Research: Get online and learn more!
This is a good starting point to get that ball rolling and your feet moving. After a while, you’ll begin to notice a new you. Be patient, it’l take some time, but you are worth it. Oh, don’t let age keep you from making changes. It was April of 1997 when I became a runner at age 34. Changing your life makes all the difference in the world. A year later, I gave up alcohol (beer) and haven’t looked back since. There were those who said I was crazy for not drinking beer anymore. Well, if they knew what I know now. I’m not complaining. By giving up beer, you also give up certain eating habits that go along with alcohol. I admit, that I completely removed beer and some other items from my life, but you don’t have to do as I did. You can try and limit those items to start with. Then later give them up as you want.
Start making small choices today, and tomorrow, you will start reaping the rewards of those simple choices.

It’s amazing, but, the human body is like a machine. I recently had my annual physical and all my numbers were withing a good range. My blood pressure was perfect! As all my other numbers were well within or near where they should be. Like your fuel gauge and other indicators in a car, is something is off, you know something is wrong. Staying fit with exercising and eating right is all I am doing.

With yummy Herbalife Meal Replacement shakes, and other supplements, you can do the same thing too! I have lost over 20 pounds and intend on loosing more. I was overweight, for my size and didn’t realize where I should be. So, I started out at 187.7 and am down to into the mid 160’s I’m thinking that my current goal is at least 160. How’s your machine? Think about it.
