Olive Oil

I just read in a magazine that olive oil is the best makeup remover and that it’s good for the skin. Have you tried it? I’m going to.

So last night for once I stuck to my goal of going to bed by 10pm.  There are just so many distractions like my iPhone. I’m always answering emails and texts even though some don’t respond to me as quickly as I do or never for that matter. The “never ones” piss me off with their unresponsiveness so I make a mental  note to not get back to them the next time but I can’t be that person.  I tried turning it off but I need it on for my alarm to go off in the mornings and hubby always takes my phone to play games so me turning off my phone when I get home has not been successful. Maybe I’ll accidently leave it at work. No, I can't do that. I'm just not gonna try not to not...

I annoy myself sometimes by constantly trying not to do something. I can drive myself crazy thinking about the things I shouldn’t do that I end up doing.  Mr. wonderful makes fun of me for it all the time. I don’t blame him though. After running around in crazy circles, I catch myself being my own big critic trying to improve this and not do that and this is when I hear him say "Told you." I finallythen just sit still, smile agreeing with him that everything is just fine and I should just chill and then we have a good laugh. I’m the biggest dork you’ll ever meet.

Tonight’s goal once again is trying to go to bed by 10pm and remember to try the olive oil.

From Your Lips to your Hips

Ch 2: Overfed Yet MalNourished

The Effects of the American Diet II as adapted from Eat to Live by Dr. Fuhrman

Our natural sweet tooth should really be for fresh fruits. Reasearchers have discovered  substances that help prevent aging and protect the brain. Too bad our desire for sweets is typically satisified by candy bar and ice cream-not fresh fruit. The FDA estimated that average American consumes about 32 teaspoons of added sugar in one day.

If you want to lose weight, the most important foods to avoid are processed foods: condiments, candy, snacks, and baked goods; fat free has nothing to do with it. You must cut down from refined carbs like bagels, pasta and bread. Pasta is not health food-it is hurt food.

Empty calories are empty calories. Cookies, jams, and other processed foods sweeted with fruit juice" sound healther but are just as bad.

Another way that will keep you from your weight loss are salad dressings. Oils are 100% fat. There are lots of calories in just a litte bit of oil Fat such as olive oil can be stored on your body within minutes from your lips to your hips. Foods cooked in oil soak up more oil than you think.Olive oil and other salad and cooking oils are not health foods nor diet foods. Oil will add fat to our already plump waistlines increasing risk of disease including diabetes and heart attack.
