Journey to a Healthly lifestyle…

Let me be honest with you…I’ve been eating like a heifer.  I’ve been dating this guy who believes I should gain some weight and indeed, I have.  My goal over the next 6 weeks is to lose five pounds. Rarely, do I disclose my weight but I need to be perfectly honest with myself and you.

As of today 7-27-08, I stand at 5 feet 4 inches and 130 pounds…ewww!! Starting tomorrow morning I plan to keep a food diary over the next 6 weeks and commit to at least 300 minutes of exercise per week.  As per “The Devil wears Prada” a size 4 is the new 6!! I gotta get this bum to shrink, if I’m going to stay in a size 4 anything bigger is unacceptable for this diva.

Every week, over the course of the next six weeks of my healthy journey…I’m going to participate in a new physical activity.  This week Bikrham Yoga.  I will post weekly weight updates and maybe measurements.  Wish me luck and join me on my journey to a healthy lifestyle.

Super Blue

Native to North America,  blueberries played an important role in North American Indian food culture. They work their protective magic by preventing free-radical damage, inhibiting enzymes from cleaving the collagen matrix, and directly cross-linking with collagen fibers to form a more stable collagen matrix. Bottom line? Eat blueberries on a regular basis. Not only will you have firmer skin for longer days, but you can also fuel your health by their ability neutralize free radical damage to the collagen matrix of cells and tissues that can lead to cataracts, glaucoma, varicose veins, hemorrhoids, peptic ulcers, heart disease and cancer. Throw a few on your cereal, in your smoothie or even better yet, by the handful – yummy and delish!
