Hello all,
It have been a while. I got on again to write my thoughts down. Okay, recent lesson I have learned. I try the whole victim thing and you know what victim clothing does not look good on me nor does it feel good. I rather be who God want me to be. It is a confirmation for myself. You are more than your circumstance yes, I agreed. Looking at my situation now, there many things to be grateful for first I have a home on top of my head, second lately my older brother helping out with my son, third my sister in law took me out to eat some noddle (it was delicious) , fourth I don't have to worry about bill although I would like to contribute, fifth, I have food stamp take care of food, sixth I have lots of time to be with my son and discipline him, seventh I am able bod, ninth have supportive friends, and tenth most importantly I am close to God.

Eating more green make a different!
I have not been eating enough green in my plate, maybe that is why I have not use the bathroom like I wanted to. I think it is important for you digestive system and immune system to get as much green in its system to help you use the bathroom. I will work harder in this area. I have been lots of fruit though.
You are what you eat
Okay, here is a healthy plate severing for me, that I should be following, especially, because i have high cholesterol. Also, I am addictive to carb like grain type such as bread and rice. This plate look more like what I should be eating.
The Plate Method is designed to show you what and about how much you need to eat to lose weight. So here's what to put on your plate (see the figure that follows):
Fill just about half of your plate with nonstarchy vegetables. These include all nonstarchy vegetables located on the bottom of the pyramid.
Fill about one quarter of your plate with low-glycemic starches, fruit, or dairy products.
A little less than 1⁄4 (20-25%) of your plate is for lean protein, including meats, seafood, or poultry. Figure that 1⁄4 is about 3 to 4 ounces.
The remaining wedge of your plate, or about 5% or less, is for healthy fats, such as olive oil, avocados, and nuts and seeds.
The Plate Method.
Weighty Warning
Compare the size of a modern dinner plate to one in Grandma's china set. A modern dinner plate has 36 square inches of surface area, compared to 33 on Grandma's. Simply by using a smaller-sized plate, you'll eat less food at every meal. Eating all the food on those extra 3 square inches three times a day can add up quickly to increase your waistline by 3 more inches.
In actuality, your plate won't look exactly like this. Usually, the fats will be part of your foods, as dressing for your vegetables, or as nuts and seeds sprinkled over your salad. And, as you know, oils run and spread all over the other foods.
The Plate Method works for all the eating programs and also is great for weight-loss maintenance. You'll be keeping your portion sizes moderate, and you'll be eating healthfully. Teach your children to use the Plate Method. Most likely, they'll relate better to the plate than the food pyramid. You can even have them make meal suggestions based on the Plate Method!
Try it a few times. Serve food onto your plate with a sense of how it should look according to the preceding formula. In no time at all, you will be using it—even at challenging eating situations, such as buffets, potluck dinners, Grandma's house, or with your children.
And one final Plate Method suggestion … serve dinner from the stove, not family-style with bowls of food at the table. This discourages overeating and encourages controlled eating based on feelings of real hunger and satisfaction. This might clash with family tradition, but try it and see whether it doesn't help limit unconsciously eating second and third helpings.

Secret loosing weight not doing any workout?
Hi all,
I know it have been awhile I mean to blog but the site was having problem. Anyways, two days ago I got a good compliment from my classmate. She asked my if I was on a diet or have been working out. I guess, I look thinner to her. The thing was I do feel thinner I feel my face look less puffy. The things is I have not been working out or dieting. I have been more concisous of what I eat, but I was still eating good food. So how is it that I feel and look thinner? Here is the secret that works for me.
1. I eat very less white rice or bread type of food.
2.I eat more vegetable, the tip is eat as much vegetable or more, of your meat or grain portion. 3.Eat more food with fiber help you use the bathroom.
4. Eat smaller portion througout. I was eating food I enjoy like this one noddle at a restraunt, although I ate a good amount I did stop myself and divide it in half to save and eat later.
5.Drink as much water as you can.
6.Out have fun in the sun. You don't walk certain amount or focus on working out. You should just enjoy the nature and the sun. I have been walking not everyday but every sunny day. I just go out and play with my son. This actually count and help you stay active. I notice once I let go of goal setting the weight seem to not be a problem.
7. Eat slowly if you are going to eat a large portion at least eat it slowly and use your teeth to breakdown the food, this will help you digestive system alot.
I have not lost anymore weight but have been maintaing my weight maybe even loose 1/2 lbs. But I am much happier person. You see the long way to healthier life is living life in what you have. We must be careful of goal setting, fast result may back fire. It really depend on your mindset. What I have learned the past couple weeks was, small steps does make a different. Be real with yourself if there is a certain food you love you don't have to elminate it altogether just have it concsiouly.
One more thing I find very very useful and I believe maybe a

SECRET TO MAX. YOUR WEIGHT LOST JOURNEY:
8. WAKE UP BEFORE 10AM
Your digestive system elminate waste in the morning best. I notice past couple weeks i have been waking up at 8am and I notice, I always take a number 2, so basically you elminating food you eaten even the unhealthy one. Is that not great? Maybe that is way it seem like i lost more weight when I have not done a thing. Try this a week and you will start feeling different. Even on day when I sleep late I wake up early I still feel great a bite tired but my digestive system was working probably. I know many people kind of sleep till 10am by that is not even time for your body to function probably matter of fact you are getting to lunch time so you basically did not provide your body food to do a good job the next day than you risk eating at night of alot cause you did not eat throughout the day.
I help you find this helpful, again this is what seem to works for me so you can disagree as well.

Reversing Diabetes in 30 days a nice documentary
I watch an awesome documentary, call Simply Raw: Reversing Diabetes in 30 Days using raw food eating. We all know that raw food eating is the best. The amazing part about the documentary was that the people come all sort of backgrounds and ages. These people are people you see at the store, next door, at school etc. What was amazing was that they continue with this lifestyle 80% and 100% of the time after 30 day. All got off their medication, lost some weight, and blood level is normal, no high cholerstrol, etc. It was inspiring. I will get to this point eventually. Lately, I feel like I am a good mindset and within I feel happy all the time. Amazing things is going to happen to me. I know I will get this food addication, weight, high cholerstorl, PCOS, under control for sure. I am excited for that day to come. This is a must see, movie night at my place. You can rent the video at Pierce County Library.

Product Review: Hamilton Beach 51101B Personal Blender with Travel Lid, Black
This is my first product review on Hamilton Beach travel blender. This product you can get at amazon for $15.99. This product is awesome, very convenient and good for the price. I am defiantly going to eat a nice smoothies every morning. I chop some strawberry whole and it is strong enough to blend it. I even add almond and stuff and it seem to do fine. I recommend this product especially cause it is cheap, strong, easy to store, easy to setup, and easy to clean. For now, it will do the job. It look like it will last long cause it does not have any fancy piece to it, unlike other blender where all sort of blade and pieces, this is a plus for me cause I have a son and a niece that like to play with kitchen material, I actually lost the lid and just use a dish for the top and it works fine. I find the lid back lucky I don't have any other little pieces I have to worry about. Anyways, get it if you can.
Making most of what you have
I had a good conversation with my friend again, it is 2am and I should be heading to bed, but before I do so I will like to talk about some things.
The highlight of what I am going to talk about is making most of what you have. What do I mean by this? Will let me share with you a story. Recently, I got excited about this job posting which I believe and can see myself doing. It met all my criteria. Part of the application process is having a recommendation letter. How the process of the job work is they first going to interview people for the first closing date and if they can't find someone that meet the criteria they will open for another pool of people. Will the closing date already past on May 2, 2011. However, I firgure snice it is still posted on their page I still have hope. Plus, I also believe if this is God will I will get it somehow even if everything seem against my odd. I email my instructor to requests a reccomendation letter, I really want it by next week. It turn out that she want to meet with me first before she does so. I was down hearted at first because I thought she will still write me the letter and meet with me later, but she want to meet with me first. I did not see this coming. Although things did not turn out the way I imgine it to I realiese an important lesson. Patient is virtue, because more blessing is to come. My insturctor really want to write an amazing letter that is probably why she want to meet with me and it make sense cause she request to see my resume, I can use this opportunity to practice on interview skills and get improvment on my resume.
The point was, what this incident it make think and I sort of have a conversation in my head about what happend if I did everything I can to the best of my abilities, which is 100% I am working and putting my best effort getting everything edit and review, and I got an interview or not and did not end up getting the job? I ask myself how does that make me feel or respond? If this were me back then ,I probably will be disappointed with myself; however, I relieze now that if it is that case i am no longer disappointed because all the effort is not waste. So making the most of what you have, just because you don't get the job does not mean you are a loser or not a good candidate, just think as if you are preparing yourself for something better. In addtion, knowing that you truely put 100% in that what really matter. You see, I had a case before, where I got an interview but did not get the job, i must admitt I was disappointed, but looking back I honestly did not give it my 100% my resume was one I use all the time and was not really updated, I did not practice for the interview etc. Anyways, back what this case, you really do make most of what you have, if I dont get the job I will still be happy because of the process of all the efforts I put in will help me get a good job as well in the future, I also will push myself by doing a follow up on how I can improve myself. You see that is the beauty of the process part and that is also part of my effort. Again, making most of what you have, I meant this in all area of your life. You don't have to have expensive materials or products to start excersing and eating right you have to make do what you have. You can easily walk outside in the mall etc. It will take pratice but you will eventually get there, I know it is hard cause we are so use to negative self talk but know that you did your best is amazing, and overtime you will have happiness. That is why I choose the images to represent this topic. This is all part of living in the moment and road to happiness.
Thanks for tuning in,
NAN NOP
