Food To Chew On:
Friday -  Thank God for Crises
Acts 16:29 (NKJV)
Then he called for a light, ran in, and fell down trembling before Paul and Silas.
Thought For The Day:
We have been called by love to be God’s people, to be filled with Spirit, to communicated His Love. We need nothing or no one; therefore we can use everything and serve everyone to glorify God and enjoy Him.
 
 
Happy “Fitness Friday!!” If you haven’t been working out now is the time to Get Off Of Your Rusty Dusty and Start Moving!!! J Don’t commit Food- Suicide if you eat the wrong foods for a length of time…. You are cutting your life short… that was dropped in my spirit… it is one thing to have a good meal (Down home cooked Meal with all the fixings) but not just every day (we do have a blow day) meaning we eat whatever you want for that day and then we go back to our routine of healthy eating and exercising…. That will handle the craving that we all get….we must learn how to eat in moderation. So we are in this together…. And the Battle is Already Won!!! We will reach our goal and live longer and healthier!!!
Have a Great Day with HHWN!!! J
 
 Exercise And Obesity In Older Adults
Other considerations for the overweight exerciser
If you are on anti-hypertensive medication, take care to avoid adverse responses like orthostatic hypotension which may cause fainting.
If you are a diabetic, take special care to avoid hypoglycemic responses from anti-diabetic medication. Talk to your doctor about these before exercising.
Avoid exercises that tend to chaff your inner thighs and wear the best shoes you can afford to limit the possibility of injury.
Don't hold your breath and please exhale during the effort part of an exercise. And don't do too many sit ups due to the weight of the chest may impede your breathing. You may stand with both hands against the wall and rounding the back while contracting the abdomen.
Consistent and quality effort toward elderly exercise and obesity will result in greater health and vitality.
MOVE…Shake Up Your Workout Routine
What followed?  Four hours of movement broken into sessions of combined group and individual activities designed to provide personal challenges in various movement modalities.  We experienced the opportunity to try Thai Chi moves, Free moves, and Modern Dance.  There were no weights, balls, steps, or competitions.  The class was designed to be an exhibition of movement not a personal or group competition.  However, I feel each of us found ourselves competing with our own thoughts on how we personally move to different rhythms.   A workshop  which gave permission to explore. It was an adult playground where we interacted, danced, smiled, jumped, ran, interpreted, and experienced movement.   The overall body workout experience combining cardio, functional movements, dance, and free moves.  We did in fact, sweat!  A lot.   
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.
