Weight Loss Program

As we try to maintain the weight we loss and stay on course with our weight loss program I would like to share with you my day today. Today is / was a good day. I can not say every day is this good in relationship to keeping good habits but this is what I strive for. I woke up about 5:30 and had a glass of water. Shook the cobwebs out of my head and about 6:00 I went to the fridge, got an apple, tomato, carrot and a clove of garlic and put them in the juicer to jump start my day. I did the same for my wife. I always have a glass of water after I drink my morning juice. Many people start with coffee, I start with fresh fruit and vegetable juice. Ok before breakfast I had 2 glasses of water and a fresh fruit and vegetable juice.

Breakfast

Breakfast for me today was a 2 egg omelet. I would call it a vegetarian omelet but I had a little sharp cheddar cheese added in. The omelet included spinach, green and red peppers and cheese. For seasoning I had white pepper and Mrs. Dash Extra Spicy Blend. My wife had the same except she had a 1 egg omelet and she prefers Mrs. dash Southwest Chipotle instead of the extra spicy. Her omelet is much spicier. As always I drank a glass of water after my meal. (Note: water is needed for many health reasons and we should drink 8 glasses a day or more, but for me it helps me feel full so can be satisfied with a vegetarian omelet as meal.) Many times when I do not have time to fix breakfast I will have an Advocare Meal Replacement Shake. I have them as needed versus make them my regular breakfast. It only takes me 10 minutes to make my breakfast and another 10 minute to eat it. By 7:30 I have had a morning juice 3 glasses of water and breakfast. About 8:00 I had an Advocare Spark Energy Drink (just like having another glass of water)  and I began my cardio work out. I did 50 minutes on the elliptical exercise machine. Took a quick shower and was at work by 9:15. By the way work is in my home office.

I know everyone can not do this but, because I work mostly from home I take a break every hour or so and do push ups. I try do 3 sets of 20 three times a day.

Mid Morning Snack

Today, I had a banana and cup of Puer Tea. I drink my tea straight, no sugar, honey lemon, etc. It is an acquired taste. It is the best way to drink your tea. but that was the mid morning snack.

Lunch

About noon I made a nice salad. Today we had spinach (our staple not iceberg lettuce) shredded cabbage and shredded carrots, green and red peppers, red and white onions and tomatoes. I like a little sweet and spicy as well. So I added a little fresh (not canned) pineapple and raisins  then spiced it up with my Mrs. Dash favorite Extra Spicy seasoning. I had a few crushed peanuts and topped lightly with a Red Wine Vinaigrette. Guess what? I had a glass of water after I ate.

Afternoon Snack

No snack this afternoon. I just had another Advocare Spark Energy Drink and did my 3 sets of 20. Now you may think that the Advocare Spark Energy Drink is like a Red Bull or something, but that is not true at all. The Advocare Spark Energy Drink is a natural nutritional vitamin supplement that also gives you a boost of energy. Like drinking coffee but all natural and no caffeine or sugar.

Dinner

Today we had my own pasta concoction. 100% Whole Wheat Spaghetti, sliced tomatoes, red, green and yellow peppers, fried in olive oil with grilled chicken and seasoned to taste. I try to eat off of a small plate so I am not tempted to eat too much. Water chaser and dinner was a wrap. Pun not intended today. 6:00 pm. Off to Church. Bible Study tonight. This is my weight loss program and today I had a good day.

God Bless Micheal Jackson and Family, Farah Fawcett and Family, Ed McMahon and Family.

Weight Loss Program

Your healthy weight loss program is not just to look good. You should not be trying to lose weight just to feel good, to fit into some clothes, boost your self esteem or for a myriad of reasons we can think of. Your healthy weight loss program can save your life. Yes, losing weight is a matter of life and death and if you are not committed to live longer the keep doing what you are doing. Whether it is heart disease, cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure, or really any disease you can think of, being overweight is a cause and losing weight is a cure. ther is study after study that prove excess fat is a contributing factor to shortened life expectancy. Whether we are in a recesion, depression or prosperous times, we have found a way to eat too much of the wrong stuff and gain weight. So if you want to live longer lose weight.

Prevent Cancer

I was watching Oprah ( my wife forced me to watch with her) and she interviewed 85 year old billionaire businessman David Murdock who plans to live to be at least 125 years old. Mr. Murdock can do 50 pushups without stopping at 85. How many can you do? Over 2o years ago Mr. Murdock lost his wife to cancer. In his search to try to save her. Using all his millions to research and try to find a cure for cancer he found out it was too late for her. But, the reason she got cancer was that they were simply not eating right. You would think they ate the best of everything. In fact God gave us all the best of everything. Genesis 1:29 states he gaves all the fruit, vegetables, herbs, seeds, and nuts as the food that would be meet to us. So after spending millions David Murdock realized that his main problem was to eat a diet that consisted mainly of fruit and vegetables. They took a look at his average daily diet and he had an egg white vegetarian omelet for breakfast, a salad for lunch, and another salad with fish for dinner. Throughout the day he would have 3 or 4 fruit juice or smoothies. Now I have not spent millions of dollars but that sounds like my daily diet. It sounds very similar to what I advise everyone I talk to. What he did not say, yet they showed it, he is very active and he exercises regularly.

My Motivation

David Murdock had a similar motivation to me. We both had people who were close to us succumb to cancer. We both began to search and learn as much as we could on how to prevent cancer and live longer, starting with trying to help our loved ones. He los his wife, I lost my father. During our research we both came up with the same solution. That is we need to eat a healthy diet, lose weight and exercise regularly to live longer. David and I both changed our lives and our eating habits. the difference is that David is a billionaire and had unlimited resources and I have the internet and the library. David talked to and hired the best medical minds, I read their books and articles. But to put it simply we all need a weight loss program that we we will eat a healthy diet, exercise regularly and take a natural nutritional supplement to enhance our diets. David has been successfully doing this for 20 years. I have for a year. I have lost 40 puonds and kept it off. David says he needs no medicine and has no medical problems not even a cold. David is my hero and God has showm me that I am on the right path. You can be also. The choice is yours.
