Advice is everywhere - How do you know what is right for you?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
It amazes me how much information is on the net to read when you are seeking advice on how to live a healthier life. I did a search on msn.com and below is what I found:
• Weight Loss - - 75, 846, 293 pages of internet sites, about 10 sites per page
• Exercise - - 47,338,014 pages
• Healthy Eating - - 612,876 pages
No wonder people who need to lose weight, eat healthier, etc.; have a hard time to start, stay focus and not quit. So what do you do?
Personally I have to take the advice I receive, along with what I read, and what my doctors suggest; as well as what my trainers suggest and create a plan along with goals that I know I can control myself and hopefully succeed.
I had an MRI on my knees and the result is I have severe cartilage lost behind my knee caps. For the next six weeks I will have physical therapy twice a week, exercise to build up my quads, and start back with spin classes to help build up my quads and boxing. I am confident my knees will get better so I will not need surgery.
My current goals are to keep getting off my diabetics meds - I am off one and one has been reduced! YEAH!!! To keep eating healthier! I want to continue to get fit physically, spiritually and emotionally this year. I still have a goal in the future to walk a half marathon but not this year. My other goals are much more important to me as my knees heal.
I appreciate everyone’s support, encouragement that helps me through the challenging times such as my knees or when I become frustrated and want to call it quits. With your continued support and prayers I know I will continue to get healthier. Thank you!
