Follow the White Rabbit

Ok so as some of you have noticed, I have not updated my blog for a week. This week I feel like I have taken the persona of the White Rabbit from Alice in Wonderland. My quote for the week was "I'm late, I'm late." So much to do and very little time to get it all done. Poor Brad has been feeling the same so we have been a dragging pair. So here is a quick sum up for the missing posts last week:
Tuesday (mental tip): When you are having what I affectionatly call an emotional day, everything is off including which emotion you are in when. These days are bad days for when you are trying to be healthy. In my case, I don't eat just want to sleep or daze at some show on the television. My tip is that when you are in these days use it as a reflection day. Think about what you are doing with your life, and make it a realistic view, not rose colored. When you do this, it really does help with figuring out what means the most and what doesn't need to be in your life.

Wed (exercise tip): This is the funnest tip for excersise. I know you might think that is an oxy moron, but it is true. I sit 9 hours a day, not counting bus ride, and become what is know as a non-active. This as we know does not allow for the metabolism to flow and body parts to spread. The little excerises I do when I'm sitting in my chair not only keep me awake, but help out in different body zones.
Excersise 1:
while sitting in your chair, sit up straight and clench your stomach muscels. This is the equvient to doing a crunch, but no neck pain. When you clench your stomach, it is more like sucking your stomach to your spine. Do not do this fast!!!! Do this at least 20 times, increase by 5 every day.
Excersise 2:
Point and flex your toes. Again sit up straight and lit your feet about 2 inches off the ground (basically high enough that your heels aren't touching.) Next step is point your toes than flex them. Do not do this fast!!! There is no benefit for rushing an excerise. do this until you feel the clentching in your calf muscles.
Next exercise, next week!

Thursday (food tip): This one is kind of a sucky and boring one. On all food containers there is this weird paper thing that has a bunch of numbers that don't make sense. Guess what? That is called the Nutrition lable. This info is the worst info to gather, but the most helpful. Here is what you need to look at: Calories, Total Fat, Sodium, and Sugar. Sodium and Sugar, contray to belief aer not a food group, and actually are very harmful to your body even though it adds flavor. Figure out what your levels are for these 4 items are. My are: calories: 1500 Fat gram: 25 Sodium: 0-10 mg Sugars: 0-10 grams.

Next post will have my Monday and Tuesday goals for this week. Bye!
