A Weightloss Promise

Image
The Optimist Creed for Weight Loss I promise myself to be so strong that nothing can stop me from losing weight.  To talk health, fitness and weight loss to every person who wants to listen.  To help all my overweight friends feel that they too can lose their extra weight.  To look at the fact that I really can lose weight and to make this fact come true.  To think only of success, to work only for success and to expect only successful weight loss.  To be just as enthusiastic about the weight loss of others as I am about my own.  To forget the failures of the past and press on to the great weight loss achievements of the future. To be motivated to lose weight at all times and to help every overweight person I meet to be motivated, too.  To be so focused on doing things that help me lose weight that I have no time left to do things that make me gain weight. To be too determined to give up, too fit to be unhealthy, too slim to be fat, and too focused on success

Clean Eating Vs Portion Control

Clean Eating  is simply eating clean, lol. I feel clean eating is when your meals are devoid of processed foods. Processed foods are the natural foods that are already manipulated. Some materials are either added or taken away to distort their naturalness either for convenience or preservation. For example you can have rice processed or leave unprocessed, the same way fish can be processed or unprocessed. The bottom line is that, for every processed food, there is an unprocessed version of it. So when you want to eat clean according to ME, it's when you limit to the barest minimum the number of processed foods you take at a given meal. For me, a processed meal could be canned beans taken with bread and a glass of orange juice. hmm yummy! Portion Control is when you serve food within a calorie range that is healthy for you. It is when you keep the proportion of foods taken at a given time within what your body adequately requires. Mark the word "requires" and not &

Weathers and Exercising

There are various seasons all over the world and they so differ even as our location differs. Each of the seasons comes with a weather and of course they are useful for different purposes and also act as an indicator for various things to do. For example, some are very good for planting why some indicate the time for harvest. In Nigeria we have 2 major seasons i.e. the dry season and the wet/rainy season. There are still some slight differences between the southern and the northern part of the country, [I am so in-between the two parts, some parts of my state tend more to the north and some part has all the characteristics of the south]. I will do a small analysis: Southern Nigerian Seasons:  - The Long Rainy Season - This starts in March and ends in July with a peak in June and can be excessively wet in some areas deep south - The Short Dry Season - This happens within a short period of 3-4 weeks in the month of August [August Break]. - The Short Rainy Season - This period
