Food To Chew On:

Tuesday – The Breaker

Micah 2:13 (KJV)

The breaker is come up before them: they have broken up, and have passed through the gate, and are gone out by it: and their king shall pass before them, and the Lord on the head of them.

Thought For The Day:

God divided our life into years

To set us free from our past fears

He give us a New Year inning

To prepare for a new beginning

He opens His forgiving heart

And offers us a fresh start

He goes before us to show the way

And gives us courage for each new day

With freedom from the past

We have a hope that will last.

Happy New Year!! Bryant and Anita Loves you!!!

 

As we Thrust into 2013 with our feet firmly planted on the ground, let us strive for greatness this year. Let’s be thorough with our goals, let our dreams bring us to the visions of our faith.

We are still focusing on eating 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.

How often should I exercise?

Generally it is a good idea for seniors to rest a day before exercising again.

Try working out 2 days a week to start leaving a day or two between sessions.

Then increase a day or two as you get comfortable with exercising.

3 to 5 days a week is usually well tolerated. Don't work the same muscle group on consecutive days.

Don't exercise beyond 5 days a week unless you receive personal instruction and a professionally designed program.

Ab Pirates Follow the Food

When it comes to exercising for low body fat and bringing forth glorious abdominal muscles, weight training for muscle growth has nothing to do with it. Burning calories is the number one goal.

Abdominal muscles, like hidden treasure on Pudge Island, are being adamantly searched for from sea to shining sea in America. Ab exercises are transforming into increasingly complex full-body workouts, stomach exercises are incorporating more and more of the musculature; the metabolic rate of the country is increasing.

 However, for the majority of Americans the abdominal bounty still remains a mystery. Why? Furthermore, why did Zerohedge recently do an article that laid out some dire fitness predictions for the states over the next decade? Apparently, by 2020 over three quarters of the population will be considered clinically obese. This doesn’t bode well for the waist line, but there’s no point in blaming the Ab exercises.

A Healthy Menu For

Day Two

Have two poached eggs on a whole-wheat English muffin with two slices of turkey bacon and a whole orange for breakfast. For lunch, try a sandwich made with two slices of whole grain bread, 2 oz. of all-natural ham, a slice of Swiss cheese, sliced tomatoes and shredded lettuce. Have a plum for dessert. Dinner could be a cup of minestrone soup with a large salad made with 3 cups of romaine lettuce, 1/2 cup chickpeas, 1/4 cup of feta cheese and 1 tsp. of olive oil mixed with 2 tsp. of red wine vinegar. At snack times, have a low-fat string cheese with the other half of the kiwi and a glass of skim milk with one sheet of graham crackers.
