The Secret of Silent Strength

Psalm 18:2 (KJV)

 The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.

Thought For The Day:

“The night is given to us to take a breath, to pray, to drink deep at the fountain of power. The day, to us the strength which has been given us, to go forth to work with it till the evening” – Florence Nightingale.

Oh today is a very good day that we woke up to see another day!! J It is another day we can smell the sweet smell of the flowers and success as we continual to eat right and exercise. So for this week we are going to learn how to count your calories by this Seven Day eating plan.

A well-planned, 1,300-calorie meal plan can give you all the nutrients you need while helping you reach your weight-loss goals. Planning your meals in advance allows you to shop for all the ingredients you need for healthy, low-calorie meals, so you do not resort to fast food in a pinch. A meal plan can also help you ensure minimal waste, because you buy only what you need. For a 1,300-calorie day, plan for three 350- to 400-calorie meals and two 80- to 125-calorie snacks each day.

What if I have a Medical Condition?

Exercise and Heart Disease

A sedentary lifestyle is a controllable risk factor in exercise and heart disease along with diabetes, hypertension, cigarette smoking, alcohol and drug abuse, elevated serum lipid levels, and stress.

Physical exercise improves the cardiovascular system and reduces the risk for heart disease. Those who chose a sedentary lifestyle often have increased risk for developing obesity and other risk factors.

Management of these risk factors is important in preventing cardiovascular disease. 

If you are taking medication for an unstable condition or if you have not received medical release from your rehabilitation program following heart surgery, you should not begin an unsupervised exercise program. 

Don’t Forget the Mantra

Ultimately though, keep in mind that sculpted abdominal muscles are almost entirely a product of food intake, not what one does or doesn’t do in the gym. Modern fitness has set that standard so people will continue to shell out untold billions on an industry that’s failed them. As soon as a person equates abs to food and cardiovascular health to exercise they are on the quickest path to where X marks the spot. Happy hunting!

A Healthy Menu For

Day Five

Have a cup of cooked oatmeal topped with 1/2 cup of skim milk, 2 tbsp. of raisins and 1 tsp. of brown sugar. For lunch, stir 1/4 cup of salsa into 1 cup of nonfat, plain Greek yogurt. Use as a dip for one serving of baked tortilla chips, 1 cup carrot sticks and a sliced red pepper. At dinner, make a mock pizza with a whole-wheat English muffin, 1/4 cup of marinara sauce and 1 1/2 oz. of part-skim mozzarella cheese. Toss a large green salad on the side with low-calorie dressing. Snacks for this day are 3 cups of air-popped popcorn topped with 1 tbsp. of shredded Parmesan cheese and a glass of red wine or a whole apple.
