Stop Dieting...Start Eating...and Start Living!

The first step in getting healthy or losing weight is in the foods we eat. Most of us are accustomed to the idea that we have to starve ourselves in order to lose weight. Not only is this notion wrong, but it is unhealthy.

Making sure we are getting enough nutrition through the foods we eat is a big step towards getting healthy. There are many diet programs out there that tell us in order to lose weight, we have to diet, count calories and eat as little as possible. There aren't many health programs that teach us how to eat more and still promote health and weight management. The Diet Solution is a an example of a great program that not only shows us how to stop dieting and start eating right, but it also provides us with delicious healthy recipes that help burn fat and promote weight loss.

Choosing to get fit & healthy is a mental and physical commitment that should be taken seriously. Although it may be difficult at first, it becomes easier the more we practice making the right eating habits. The earlier we start, the sooner we can start to see results and prevent many food related health problems, such as Diabetes and Heart Disease.

Good luck and happy eating!

Eating in Color

Dieting and exercise can be a challenge for many people during their weight loss journey. It's one thing to lose the weight, but it's another thing to maintain that weight loss. In addition to taking a multivitamin supplement daily, here is a great tip to becoming healthy and staying there.

Get your daily dose of color!

Include each color of fruits and vegetables in your diet daily. Each color contains a different phytonutrient (plant concentrate) that targets specific health needs. By varying your fruits and veggies, you will be sure to include all the antioxidants your body needs to protect your cells and keep you healthy.

When trying to remember which fruits and vegetables to eat, think of a rainbow. Red, yellow, green, blue and purple, plus white. Each food color serves a purpose in your health.

RED: Prostate Health and DNA Health

INCLUDES:
red apples, tomatoes, strawberries, pomegranates, red raspberries, acerola cherries, cranberries, watermelon, grapefruit, sweet red peppers, radishes

New Blog Goal

Hello world, I'm back again. So I've come to realize that I'm horrible at keeping a consistent blog. I post here on average of 2-3 times a year, which is sucks. I guess I need to up my game and take this blog page more seriously. I stared it out as a way for me to write down my thoughts and ideas, kind of like a personal diary, but also as a way to practice and improve on my writing. But as I began to do this, I got sidetracked by so many other things on the internet that my blog got put so far in the back of my mind that I keep forgetting it even exists. I've decided to really change that and make a serious effort into maintaining this blog. To do so, I have created a goal for myself. I will make at least 2 posts on here per month for the rest of the year. I know that seems like a little bit, but I have to start small first and work my way up. Besides that, I don't even know if I have any readers since no one really comments on this, so I have no reason to make a post, except for my own personal inspirations. Regardless, I think 2 times a month is a great start for someone who usually makes a post 2-3 times a year. Well...wish me luck on my journey.

A New Year...Fresh Start

I always love celebrating the new year because of what it represents. To me, a new year is a new beginning, an opportunity to right your mistakes, get rid of your bad habits and set new goals. I get another chance from God to make my life matter. Another chance to impact someone else's life. Living to see the new year is a blessing that not everyone receives and should not be taken for granted. If you are reading this, then you've obviously made it to the new year, but what will you do differently to make this year better than last year? Have you set any new goals or challenges for yourself?

For me, I'm taking this opportunity to hit the refresh button on life and really take the bull by the horns to live a more positive lifestyle. I'm setting some new goals for myself and really working to achieve those goals. I've learned so much in 2013 and feel that it's time for me to really put my knowledge to use and take advantage of everything that I've learned. I know, I know, it's a new year and everybody makes new resolutions that they forget about in 2 months, so what is the point of trying, right? Wrong. Like the saying says "if at first you don't succeed, try, try, try again." The same goes for our goals and resolutions. Just because you didn't honor your resolutions last year, doesn't mean that you shouldn't set new ones this year. In fact, that is the reason why you should. You have to keep trying to make yourself better by setting goals and working actively to achieve them.

Back Again After A Long Break

So I found this post that I drafted but never posted a few months ago...hmm I guess I must've been too excited. Anyway, I'll post it now, even though it references to summer...


Wow, has it really been that long since I've written on here? I guess I had a very busy summer. I'm not even sure if people read my rantings online since no one really comments. This blog feels more like a diary. Anyway, if anyone out there is reading this, here's a quick recap of the last few months:

I wrote, produced and directed my first non school affiliated video project. It was great. Unfortunately, I

Gun Violence Crisis: My Thoughts

Hey cyber world, I know it's been a while since my last real entry but I've been a little preoccupied with work and getting ready to launch my company. My hands are extremely full but it's nothing I can't handle.

Anyway, today I'd really like to address the gun violence issue that's going on this country. It really saddens my heart when I hear news stories and read articles about all these young people shooting each other. Week after week, that is all I hear on the news. School shooting here and school massacre there. It's becoming a serious epidemic that gets worse by the week. It's really scary to think what this country will become in the next few years if things continue the way they do.
