Food To Chew On:

Wednesday – The Pirouetting Heart

Habakkuk 3:18-19 (KJV)

 Yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation. The Lord God is my strength, and he will make my feet like hinds' feet, and he will make me to walk upon mine high places. To the chief singer on my stringed instruments.

                                                         Thought For The Day:

Focus on God, His just judgment, and His indefatigable Love. Joy will surge in you and new strength will flow.

We are waking up to face our first day back at work, let’s be refreshed with our prayers, our visions for the manifestations is just around the corner.  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 much weight should I use?

Arms: Try starting with 2 pounds.

This is usually tolerated by most seniors.

 Women can safely train up to 5 pounds and men can safely train up to 8 pounds for the upper body.

Legs: Our legs are fairly heavy and may not require additional weight.

If you choose to use weights for the legs, use ankle weights.

Seniors can usually safely start with 1 pound ankle weights.

Work up to 3 pounds if you are tolerating the weight well and can do at least 15 to 20 repetitions comfortably.

Chiseled Abs without Exercise

I can’t seem to stress this enough to people in the gym grunting and profusely sweating into that abs workout, or within the evolving fitness community online furiously researching – low body fat doesn’t require exercise. An everyday life with work and family that’s complimented by healthy, balanced, and disciplined eating is enough. Let’s chant the mantra together, “Abs are made in the kitchen!”

One can do all the ab exercises and work out as much asthey want, but if cumulatively week in and week out they aren’t burning off more calories than they’re consuming, low body fat (abs) won’t develop. Abdominal muscles themselves don’t burn enough calories to worry about. In terms of trimming down, they’re actually rather superficial. That’s why you will not find weight loss regimens revolve around Abs workout and stomach exercises.

A Healthy Menu For

Day Three

Repeat the cereal breakfast, but have a sliced small banana in place of the berries. For lunch, stuff a whole-wheat pita with 1/4 cup of hummus, 1/4 cup of feta cheese, sliced cucumbers and sliced tomatoes. At dinner, stir fry 3 oz. of shrimp with 1 cup of snow peas and 1 cup of sliced carrots. Have over 1 cup of brown rice. For your snacks, have 1/2 cup of low-fat cottage cheese with 1/2 cup of drained, canned pineapple and later, have 20 almonds.
