You’ve heard the statistics: Most people who diet, regain the weight they lost, and then some, when they end their diets. Well, you’re not a statistic and you can avoid becoming one if you spend 30 minutes, four days a week, cycling, walking, or water jogging during and after your diet. That’s because the low-intensity exercise can prevent the decrease in metabolism and fat burning that often occurs during and after a diet.

Water have zero calories, but when it’s very cold, you actually burn calories warming and absorbing it. Once you finish burning those calories, your metabolic rate remains 30 percent higher than before you quaffed the liquid for another 90 minutes! So keep yourself hydrated by leaving a glass of ice water next to you all day, and continually sipping from it.

Aim for 15 minutes of activity every day when you would otherwise have been inactive, for instance, you burn about 2.2 calories a minute sitting in a meeting or in front of the TV. Get up and walk and you more than double that number, to 4.7 calories.  A brisk walk & your metabolism knocks off 7.2 calories a minute. 

Now instead of eating at that time, do something else- something that really appeals to you. Read the paper, call a friend- anything that gets you through that period. You may find the reason you ate at that time was habit, not hunger. Develop a habit that doesn’t involve food and you could cut more than 100 calories a day.

Instead of having your usual lunch, make your midday meal another breakfast. Eating breakfast twice during the day isn’t our idea. Several manufacturers have been touting it as a novel weight-loss method.

Dealing with Failure

Failure is a success if we learn from it. — Malcolm Forbes

What’s your biggest failure. Interesting, We could not come up with just one. We believe one of our biggest reasons for success is that We fail more often than most people. It goes with our “Fail often, fail fast, fail cheap”. It goes with “you only fail
from not trying - not from trying”. And having a failure, does not make you a failure.

Important, do We learn enough from them? I am not sure.  It is an interesting thought because we consider ourself to be a constant learner who is capable of changing and adapting. Of course true, being able to learn from others’ mistakes.

Part of what allows us to have many failures is, We tend not to dwell on them. What happened, happened. It was a mistake or a failure - move on. So what We need to learn is how to learn from our failures and at the same time keep us “move on” attitude.

Job stress is a common and costly problem in the All workplace, leaving few workers untouched

A recent survey, published in the Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, noted that for those working 12 hours a day, there was a 37% increase in risk of illness and injury in comparison to those who work fewer hours.

A study done by National Life, reports that one-fourth of employees view their jobs as the number one stressor in their lives.

A Insurance Co. study concluded that problems at work are more strongly associated with health complaints than any other life stressor, even financial or family problems.

Try this exercise of simple visualization during five-minute breaks in your daily schedule. It will enhance your energy and alertness and give you a feeling of well being.

Visualization: Close your eyes close out sound as best you can, and picture yourself in a quiet, restful place from your memory. Maybe it’s a beach, a certain sunset, a mountain retreat or a park bench. If you cannot honestly recall one, create a scene in your imagination. Go there mentally; see you in that spot; smell the air, the salt spray, the pine forest, and the flowers; feel the coolness, warmth, tropical breezes. Revel in the moment in that place. Visualize yourself there for as long as you can. While visualizing, it’s important to breathe in deeply until your chest fills up with air, then let the air out slowly, repeating the deep breathing throughout the whole exercise.

Breakfast the Power

People who eat breakfast concentrate better and are more productive than those who go without. They also tend to have better control over their weight because they’re not ravenous by lunchtime.

For the typical adult, a healthy breakfast should fall between 300 and 400 calories. That’s not a lot of food—and that’s a good thing. A healthy breakfast often takes just a minute to put together, and just a few minutes to eat. So no excuses for skipping it!
