NSV, NEVER Over Look Them!
I have learned to take Great Pride in Non-Scale Victories (NSV.) I went to the doctor last week and my blood pressure was 127/75! For a year it had hovered around high to mid high levels.

What Do You Think About Parental Favoritism?
Recently I relocated and am staying a while with My Sister (call her Doris). She has 5 kids and they are wonderful kids. I began to notice that one (the second from the youngest, he is 10 yrs old, call him Tom) was treated much different from the others.

Is LeBron James
Mentally Tough enough to LEAD a team to a championship? I say no...I saw that same "Deer In The Head Light Look" in the Chicago game that I saw on him when he played Boston LAST YEAR. I know that he is a smart guy but that has nothing to do with being mentally tough/focused/committed to WILL something to happen. If Miami…

What Is A...?
Snack and Meal for you, relative to Calories? AND, does it matter? For Me a Snack is anything eaten from 0-250 Calories; A Meal is ANYTHING eaten over 250 Calories. It matters, don't know exactly why, but intuitively I feel it matters. Maybe someone here will write something that resonates with Me.

Sometimes It comes Down To This
What to do when you have Competing Interests. That's what eating healthy( Healthier) is all about, making choices, hopefully the right choices at that time.

Why Fake It!?
I don't know why we say that we want to eat healthy and then not take the time to do the research needed to eat healthy or we will just accept things OTHER people say as THE truth, instead of A truth - NOT necessarily MY truth.

EATING!? YES, Eating!
(From My Blog I Posted Today) Is Counter-Intuitive to losing weight/fat but it is REAL and Very Effective.

What Is Water Weight?
And ISN'T it as difficult to lose as "any other weight?" I have found for Myself that whenever I go up quickly, do to "water gain" it still takes Me a week or two to lose that 2-5 lbs as it would to lose "fat."

Lately I have been seeing a LOT of Posts about "people" getting on someone for "eating right" or rejecting food; also about being "sabotaged" by friends and family.

Each day this person is saving from 300-600 Calories to eat this. QUESTIONS: (1) Is that eating…
