As I sit here thinking about the New Year Resolutions; I have been doing a lot of reflecting. What did I do in 2010?
I guess the big thing is I returned to college to obtain a Bachelor of Science degree in Health and Wellness. I am not sure what spurred me to look into furthering my education.

It is simple, and helps your body in so many ways. Don’t sit for long periods of time. Our bodies are not made for as much sitting as we do in today’s world of conveniences.
Another way is to make sure you are getting enough Omega 3’s. EPA, ALA, DHA are different types of Omega 3’s. EPA & DHA are found in cold water fish, salmon, tuna,Granny1952http://www.blogger.com/profile/16773556722679966591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6182443308849965335.post-13210765371368967172010-01-06T09:54:00.000-08:002010-01-06T09:55:21.302-08:00A ‘Rich’ outlook on well-beingA ‘Rich’ outlook on well-beingGranny1952http://www.blogger.com/profile/16773556722679966591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6182443308849965335.post-22214275244558481522009-12-15T20:34:00.000-08:002009-12-15T20:34:04.871-08:00Driving in the snow…..
One of the common mistakes driving in the snow: riding the brakes! Or thinking that having 4 wheel drive will let you drive anywhere, anyway you want. One time coming down a hill, I saw someone in front of me with their brakes on – sliding everywhere. I knew he could not hear me, but kept yelling – take your foot off the brake! After he sideswiped a few cars, he finally stopped.

Some are old, some are new traditions. Holiday time starts at Halloween and ends with Valentines; many events and occasions during those 3 plus months.
Our family loves Thanksgiving. We have family and friends over for dinner. Come early to snack, visit and watch football is our motto.

Most of us are not breathing properly by breathing air up into our chest. Look at yourself in the mirror. Your lungs hang all the way down toward the bottom of your rib cage. More than likely, you're not filling them up with the precious air they need.

Parents and children both have to adjust their time for this blessed event. Going to bed earlier to get enough sleep and eating a healthy breakfast earlier than done in the summer are part of the new regime.Then there are the school supplies that need to be purchased.

I mean real camping; sleeping in tents, no electricity, campfires, if possible. But you need to be prepared. When creating your list of foods, check out the area for animals such as bears. If there is a concern, take pre cooked foods so you will not attract them with the smell from cooking. Bug sprays, first aid kits are essential. Take plenty of water.

That is hardly enough time for the signals from the stomach to get to the brain which let us know we are full and should stop eating.Remember when we were told to take time chewing and make your meal last 30 minutes? Somehow, in our fast food world, we have changed that to eat for 30 minutes; doing that we can consume twice as many calories as we need.

Fast food is a ‘replacement’ meal for a good homemade meal. Most fast foods do not contain many nutrients or good fats we need to stay healthy. A fast homemade meal can be healthy as well as not time consuming. For example, a protein shake can be good tasting, nutritious and as fast as your blender will make it.

They usually know everything about you. My best friend can finish my sentence for me, she knows me that well. We have helped each other through marriage, divorce, illness, raising our kids, death.

In reality it is water that makes it explode into a white puff of edible food. Each kernel is about 14 percent water. When it gets heated to 400 degrees F, the water turns to steam and the grain turns to popcorn. Kernels that don’t pop have been called “spinsters”.
