Thursday – Help is Only A Hosanna Away

John 12:13 (NKJV)

 “Hosanna!

‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!

The King of Israel!”

Thought For The Day:

Hosanna!! Help, Lord!! And  help is only a hosanna  away.

We understand the struggle of eating right and exercises, it can be very trying at times and then we ask ourselves is it worth it or even can I do it? And the answer to both of the questions is YES, YOU CAN DO IT!!!!  J

Just Say No to these 5 Diet Strategies

It’s not always easy to decide which diet tips to follow. And there are a lot of tips out there, but here are five common weight loss strategies that you should really avoid.

Missing Meals

If you are skipping meals because you think it is a good way to reduce calories, think again. Cutting calories is definitely key to weight loss, but missing out on meals can mess with your metabolism. When you wait too long to eat, your body reacts by slowing down your metabolism and halt weight loss. If your schedule is the issue and you’re simply too busy to sit down and eat a full meal, store small snacks in your purse, desk or car to eat throughout the day so that you can keep your metabolism moving.

A Healthy Menu For

Thursday

Stir together 1 cup of low-fat cottage cheese and 1/2 cup of sliced grapes and have with a slice of whole-grain bread topped with 1 tbsp. of peanut butter. For lunch, make a sandwich with 1/2 cup roasted chicken, 1 oz. part skim mozzarella cheese and a slice of avocado on two slices of rye bread. At dinner, enjoy a homemade chef salad made with 2 oz. of natural ham, two chopped egg whites, romaine lettuce, chopped tomatoes and two chopped artichoke hearts canned in water. Toss with a low-fat, low-calorie dressing. For snacks, try 1/4 cup of chickpeas tossed with chopped cucumber, dill and lemon juice and later, three fresh apricots.
