Diet

My clothes are getting tight, it is time to do weight watchers and loose these 10 pounds that have crept up on me. Since I am under 150 pounds my points for the day are between 18-23. One of the most important steps
to this diet is writing everything down and measuring amounts. It also helps to have support. I lost 10 pounds before with them. I did go to their meetings. It is good to join and go for awhile just to learn how it works and get all the material or get it from someone that has it and can explain the program.

I like it because I can eat anything I want.

It is surprising how many people, in the USA, do not get enough vitamin D even in places like California. A blood test can show if you are not getting enough. Another item many people do not get enough of is protein, which is surprising.

How much protein you need.
1/4 to 1/2 gram times your body weight in pounds.

Read the following article which is where I found the information on protein. http://www.pccnaturalmarkets.com/sc/1005/sc1005-protein.html

Exercise

Exercise! How to get motivated? I finally came up with something that works for me.  I have a great book I am reading.  I can only read it if I am on the exercise bike.  I plan on purchasing the other books by the

 author. This gives me the incentive to workout.  It is also important to keep your body guessing, and not do the same routine everyday.  I will work on that down the road.  For now the bike along with some physical therapy exercises will be a good start. My first goal is to do this 4 days a week for 3 months.  What motivates you to exercise?
