Are you having too much of everything?

I just came from Church today, and thought that the topic today is worth sharing. I don't want to sound like a preacher or something. But i just wanted to tell everyone that to be able to move on to our lives, is we really have to take care of our body.

God gave us so many blessings but people abuse it. how?

He gave us the blessings of abundant food and drink, but what do we do? we abuse it. we don't take care of it. We eat too much, we drink too much, we forget that everything has limitations. So in the end, what do we get? Diabetes, Cancer, Different diseases and illness.

God gave us those blessings in order to live, be healthy and of course be happy, but when is happiness too much? How will you know if its too much? If you're feeling the pain already? If you're starting to get tired, stressed, sick, depressed?

He gave us the blessing of freedom. Freedom to choose. Do we choose what we eat? or do we just eat and then choose. We can enjoy our freedom. We can do whatever we wanted to. but we have to be responsible enough of our bodies. When are we going to start? around 40?

I think I'm beginning to sound like my grand mother! hahaha! I sometimes feel guilty of these too, who don't? but hey, some people just need some little reminders right? a little warning won't hurt.

How to lose the holiday weight gain.

Thanksgiving, Christmas, New year. So many holidays and of course........ feast! who doesn't love to eat right? especially when everybody is enjoying eating and having fun. But of course sometimes we tend to forget our diet, counting calories, food portions. etc. I'm sometimes guilty of this too.

Here are some tips that hope to help you lose some holiday weight gain.

1. Eat fruits and vegetables. They'll give you more food and less calories. You just came out of holiday feast so better start eating healthy foods and gain power not fat.

2. Spice things up. A little salsa can add a lot of flavor to a baked potato-and for few calories. I know, many people may not like to eat boring or bland healthy foods. So spice up your food a little.

3. For sweets. just grab low-fat yogurt instead of ice cream. There are many low fat yogurts around nowadays. You might thought of grabbing a low fat ice cream, but better not.

4. Besides cutting calories, a high fiber diet help prevent cancer, heart disease and digestive illness. So wake up with an oatmeal breakfast or just get a high fiber lunch and your off to lose weight.

5. Exercise everyday. Oh yes! You ate a lot last holiday, so lose that fat!

Everything may seem to be very hard, but i still think that if you put your heart to it. I mean discipline is one major key to lose weight! We still have few more holiday feasts to come so if you think you are having a hard time to lose weight. Then control yourself.
