Ramblings: I’m tired but I have to keep trying

Posted by: aviddiva on: September 29, 2007

I am tired of watching what I eat and trying to exercise every day. I am tired of seeing other people not try hard enough and loose 10 pounds in a week. I am tired of busting my ass. But I have to keep trying, learning and practicing, because I want to [...]

Motivation: Exercise and good health will help your soul

Posted by: aviddiva on: September 27, 2007

Today I spent the day talking to a brain professional (as in psychology) and the one thing that she kept bringing up is the importance of good food but more importantly, exercise. Those endorphins really help keep you happy and healthy. Also, if you are not depressed, your body is not depressed, and [...]

Nutrition: do what works for you

Posted by: aviddiva on: September 24, 2007

Due in part by recent events in my surroundings, a lot of the conversations I’ve had recently with friends and family relate to different diet programs: the low carb, the no carb, the salad diet, the grapefruit, the high carb, the Mediterranean… the bottom line is that people have to do lifestyle changes and [...]

Ramblings: how things affect people

Posted by: aviddiva on: September 21, 2007

Like I mentioned in the beginning, I had a family member that went through a health scare last week. Today it is the first week this person has to live with a diagnosis that affects 246 million people worldwide, diabetes. More tests are needed to figure out if it was an isolated incident [...]

Motivation: A health crisis in the family

Posted by: aviddiva on: September 20, 2007

Someone I care about went through a health crisis this weekend, which made me analyze my own eating habits. I cut all the sodas off and watch the candy. I am trying to eat 5 small meals a day, I am still not really good at that, but it is really important to eat [...]

Motivation: attract what you want to your life

Posted by: aviddiva on: September 13, 2007

OK. I am a big believer of the Law of Attraction. I am also a big wimp and have only used it on small things. But, if I want to apply it to something important, I have to start now. So, instead of concentrating on loosing weight, I have to concentrate [...]

Exercise: is it worth it?

Posted by: aviddiva on: September 12, 2007

Every day I wake up and all I want is to get 30 minutes of exercise in. And on most days, I do it. But the weight stays the same. Some months I loose inches on the top and gain on the bottom. Some times it’s the other way around. [...]

Ramblings: why wont you be my friend?

Posted by: aviddiva on: September 7, 2007

Today’s message is for someone specific and hopefully he will never see it but at least I got the chance to say it. I am a good person, and a great friend. I am sincere, loyal, honest, smart, relentless, and lovable. I am also annoying, relentless, sincere and honest to the point [...]

Motivation: a trip to Europe

Posted by: aviddiva on: September 6, 2007

Hi. Today we found out, my daughter and I are going to Spain for two weeks next summer. Obviously, I do not want to look like a baboon when I get there. Last year, my daughter and I took a school trip to Greece and Italy. I only managed to loose [...]
