As we Live

As we live, we notice that people sometimes hate us, disagree with us, and sometimes hurt us.

And we fail to realize that it isn't flaws in our character, but in theirs, wanting to have a part of ours.

Jorge L. Tirado

Springing back to Weight Loss

As New Yorkers many of us struggle with maintaining our weight, eating well and adding a daily exercise regime due to life in general. The majority is so used to juggling so many different tasks within any given day and never really have the time to fully take care of oneself so easily. How can one even find the time with work, family and friends taking up most of our energy. The problem is we can, yet look for excuses to put off for another day what can easily become a daily routine today.

Dieting and exercising aren't easy tasks, but if you focus, keep a daily journal detailing what you have eaten and done in form of exercise each day; and jot down calories, amounts, distances if the chosen exercise is jogging or walking for 15 minutes a day or cardio, then you already have one foot forward. Getting into the habit of watching what you eat is very important if you want to lose weight and keep it down, and just because you start exercising and begin eating well doesn't mean you will see quick results. Remember your body is now adjusting to a new routine, and so it will seem like its fighting you at first. The key is to never give up and always keep at it.

The goal is to continue the routine and in turn give yourself some just rewards. Treat yourself to a makeover, a new outfit or whatever you fancy. You deserve it and you can definitely feel great about having it.

I now will attach a link courtesy of everydayhealth.com that focuses on the 12 common reasons why one can't lose weight, and some which I have noted above have been addressed in detail. In addition once a week I would love to publish a piece dedicated to diet and exercising to help you along so please feel free to join and follow us on our journey to a healthier living.

Why is your Weight Loss Stalled?

Protecting funding for the National Institute of Health

Please take a minute to tell Congress to protect funding for the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The National Institutes of Health (NIH), a part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, is the nation’s medical research agency—making important medical discoveries that improve health and save lives. The billion and a half dollars in proposed cuts would be a huge loss for all of 1199SEIU’s training hospitals.

The House, Senate and President Obama are currently negotiating a spending bill. It is vitally important that they hear from you now to protect these funds.

The House passed H.R. 1 which includes a $1.6 billion cut to NIH for this year which would be detrimental to medical research and devastate our academic medical centers and teaching hospitals.

Please take a minute to reach out to your local Congress member to tell them to support funding for the NIH. The vote is likely to take place next week so please take a minute and send a letter of support.

We must all take action now

That’s why she wants to tell all in a book and reality show. Alejandra needs money, and she is mad that the Jackson family is treating her this way. Katherine offered her money to go away, but she would have to sign a confidentiality agreement but Alejandra refused because she wants to tell all.

The End of Another Year, the Start of the Next

Well another year strolled by and a new one soon begins. 2010 was a year full of doubt, hope and true perseverance as many companies struggled to stay on top of a struggling economy, and many had no other choice but to file for bankruptcy and close their doors forever.

Three years ago the economy was hit hard, so hard that many businesses struggled with keeping not only their doors open, but also their dreams alive. As we all know at any time, businesses in any community can come and go, but the shock of the many who had closed their doors throughout the past few years, and the many left unemployed still plagues us.

In addition to the many jobs lost, many who have approached retirement years forfeited their plans to retire in order to avoid being stuck or even worse losing all they had worked so hard for due to the rise in costs which only plagues those who are considered middle class or low income.

Many employers were forced to place a freeze on hiring, and many college graduates along with those who had been laid off must ponder if and when they will ever find employment. Throughout these years we've also seen many lose their homes to foreclosure, or file for bankruptcy in order to maintain their homes or businesses and the many who due to credit cards have fallen so deep into debt and have little or no hope of ever being free of paying not only the amount owed but the interest accrued as well.

Yes the years have been rough but many have not given up, many are still holding onto their dreams, and many have persevered and flourished. The economy woes were not going to get to these individuals and they made things happen. They studied their business and focused on ideas to make it grow. They learned how to respect each player and appreciate their contribution and they also developed a plan to ensure they meet their goals in the upcoming New Year 2011.
