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,

Beauty from the inside out and more yummy fruitful foods for your soul

It is true. I am feeling very happy with myself not because I have lost weight or dress up, but because I feel happy and satisfy with what I have now!! I transform my mind to think positive, I have to cast away my fear and worry mainly about the future and learn to forgive and let go of past failures, although I don't consider them failures, I think they are opportunity for growth experiences. Once, I stop worrying and planning, and start enjoy life. I notice I am happy now from within. There so many exciting things out there. No effort is effortless. Do the best you can each day, live the life that is going to make sense to you, strive to be you BUT IN YOU HAPPIEST FORM! You are blessed each day so live the most from it. Put in the works that will mostly benefit you in all aspect of you life. Don't give up one area for another, each are all important so find the balance that will work for you. Surround yourself with loving people and also give and love others. Your inner beauty and positivity will manifest outward, it will effect those all around you, believe it! I sense transformation that is so beautiful in my friend. I sense that she is having fun with her life and enjoying it. Things just seem to make sense and God start opening roads for her. This is peace and happiness, trust God and know that God want you to have success. You see again, the things you do don't have to make sense planning is actually a form of trying to control your life meaning you are living in fear vs. living with faith. Believe not only in the power of God, but also in yourself. Most importantly, have patient with yourself. Give yourself time to detoxify from your old habits and ways that was hindering you before. Yes, detoxify. The more poison you have taken from negative experiences, conditioning, wanting to control, etc. the more time it will take to detoxify. Yes, at first it won't feel good about yourself just like the first stage of detoxification from food, you may feel weak and stuff, but know once you get through the first couple of weeks, months, and maybe years. Good things will come and you will finally have happiness and transform into a beautiful butterfly or flower that you are.

I have notice this for me and maybe this is true as well as with my friend. For me, I just kind of felt tired and not happy. The point was after thinking and planning, one day everything make sense the funny part is I don't know what it is or how to explain it. Is like i wake up one day and everything make sense because it does not have to make sense. Is that funny? Really sometime it does not have to make sense actually it is very spontaneous. As if God sudden lift all my worries and fears all in one day. If you have a surge of positive energy right now, as if nothing can stop you, make most of it because it might not come again when you let opportunity past by, it is time to make mistakes, get messy and just do what your gut, mind, heart, and spirit tell you to do because that instinct you start doubting yourself and ability you will miss this opportunity. God is blessing you right now more than ever. Don't let it pass by, like it did before seize it now and live your happy ending. Yes, God is there all the time protecting you so fear not!

Tip: Casting down negative voice, worries, and fears. I got from this book I was reading. When you start doubting or hearing that negative voice. Say to yourself FEAR NOT!

I don't know where I am heading, fear not!

I don't have money, fear not!

I don't know what to do next, fear not!

I am afraid I will fail the test, fear not!

I did not work out today, fear not!

You see it works in many cases!

Anyways, I hope you find this page Worthy of your time and peace,love, and blessing on your journey.

ALL the best,

One last note about VISION: Having Vision is important, you have to be able to see your success in order to make it become a reality. Vision and Future is different. Main different, Future is something you can't see, while vision is something you can see. It is good to see where you are going like the destination. However, the journey part actuallying you getting to your destination or vision, is usually unclear, that is why you can't see the future however, you can see your destination. I like to think vision in this format, you can agree or disagree, let me know. So far, I know my visions or dreams the one I forgot in a while always come back somehow.I believe this is God way of connecting to me, letting me know my purpose in life. Words, can't really explain it. God always keep me in check. God always keep me consious and humble. It was funny cause I think I wrote a blog cause I got a little greedy of sucess, but that is exactly my point, I realize it quick, I started to feel not balance and unhappy. For this reason, I learn to apperiacite life and not taken it for granted cause God is so kind to give us sucess in really whatever it is we want as long as it is godly. Anyways, don't want to drown you so that is all.

Peace and Love,

Naan

God answer your Pray, stay postive and pray will be answer

There is defiantly something magical about the universe, you heard about the law of attraction, however, you look at it, whatever it is you want or seek you will recieve or get answer. For me, I believe God answer your pray. As most of you already know, I am almost done with schooling at least for now till I go and get my Master, sometime next year, the point is I ran out of my workstudy money and will need to think about a job soon. I told you about my diellma with me wanting to spent the summer with Trocon to teach him about life and just because I love him so much, the point is the reality is I need to make money though. I had an option to work at the Boys and Girls Club twice now, although my friends and family think it is a great idea, I was hesitant mainly, because I know the environment and I don't like its management the point is although 2-7pm is great and paying $14 and hours I will be require to work monday through Friday. I enjoy the kids but for me right now I really need to spent more time with my son, also I need more time to myself and reflect on my life. The point is I was checking my UWT email and saw something about an paid internship, the description match what I am seeking. My heart beated fast from excitment and joy. I have not felt this in a while. I just knew this was for me, the intership give you a paid stiped of $400 for 10-12 week completion, you only work Wed. 3:30pm-6pm mentoring juvenille girls through arts. This works for me cause it is only once a week and I am somewhat getting gaining by experienceing and get paid. I am not a greedy person like I was telling my friend whatever it is you do it should help you to achieve your goals in other aspect of your life, too many people get caught up in routine and they forget to enjoy life and just be in motion, will i can't live this way so...I still have to apply but I know I will get hired in God will. I know this is for me. Anyways, so have faith and you will be surprise what is in storage for you. If I do get this position, I will really have more time to focus on other area of my life like family, health, social, etc. WOW! this exactly what I needed, I might look for other part time job if I need some more money, but I think this is fine. Have faith all the glories goes to God!!
