Prostate cancer prevention: What you can do

The MayoClinic’s website has lots of great information.

http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/prostate-cancer-prevention/MC00027

 

There’s no sure way to prevent prostate cancer, but you may help to avoid it by exercising and eating a low-fat diet rich in fruits, vegetables and fish.

personal bodybugg update

Greetings from the Keys!
It’s another beautiful day in
Paradise and I’m getting ready to head out to the gym.  My motivation for my first Keys gym visit?  I did a mid-week weigh-in (which I don’t generally suggest that you do).  Why did I do it?  Well, honestly I’ve not measured my ice cream this week – just kind of did it by eyeing it – so I wanted to make sure that I was on track.

And I am – I am down to 150 (I report my weight earlier this week as 151, but it was really 150.75).  So I’m on track and doing well.

 

That, in itself, is motivation enough to go out to the base and try to find the gym.  There’s nothing better then a long walk on the treadmill reading an enjoyable book… of course, I do hate the first-time visit to the gym and trying to figure ‘things’ out.  Do they have towels?  Do they sell water?  Where ARE the treadmills anyway?

 

Besides, I need to start banking calorie burn.  I’ve been invited to a Cinco de Mayo party next Saturday, I plan on drinking loads of beer and partaking in some of the fabulous food they’re having flown in as well….SO, I need to be prepared for that this week.

 

And, with my bodybugg I will be.

 

Have a great weekend.  Yours in Health, Wellness, and Beauty (and very near breaking the 150 pound barrier, again),

Portion Distortion

Tying in with yesterday’s article, this is a fun exercise in understanding Portion Control.  It’s on the Quaker Oats website.

http://www.quakeroatmeal.com/qo_managingWeight/kids/teachHealthyEating/PortionDistortion.cfm?Section=CAT_Dairy

 

It helps bring a sense of realism to portion control – comparing cubes of cheese to dice, and chicken serving to a deck of cards…. Actually SEEING it helps you be able to visualize it while you prepare your meals.

 

As an added FYI, I purchased a scale.  (it’s a postal scale, so I get two uses out of it – I can weigh my packages to print my own postage, and I use parchment paper to weigh my foods before I put it on my plate)

my personal bodybugg(tm) update

I have been bad about updating you guys on my personal bodybugg™ data.

In January I weighed 158 and made the decision that it was time to get back on track.  I totally blew the month of February, between my traveling to the Keys to find a house and whatever other excuses I have to offer.

Now that I’m back in the Keys I am 100% on track (and it is SO much easier since Scott is stuck working in Baltimore and I’m not as tempted with going out for huge meals and his desire for dessert, and my being too-weak willed to turn it down).

Mid-March I started my latest program – at 155.  Today, I’m down to 151 pounds!  I’m pushing for another two, then I’m going to see how I look and feel before I make a decision to lose more (two summers ago I got down to 139, during my first summer on the BB program, don’t know that I want to go that low).  Since I’m in an area where skimpy clothes are worn all the time, I definitely have motivation!

There’s my latest update, 151 and counting!

Turn Unhelathy Habits Into Healthy Ones

It took me a little bit longer to get settled and back into blogging then I thought – but I’m here.

The new digs are on Sugarloaf Key – if you’ve never been, it’s as beautiful as they say.  AND as laid back… which takes a little getting used to for every day living.

 

Today’s article comes from our friends at Yahoo, again.  Sometimes these things can kind of be no-brainers as you read them, but they’re all worth a re-read, because no matter how hard we try sometimes we forget:
