More Fruit, More Fiber

Adding more produce to ones diet is always a must in order to be healthier. So, I sneaked some blackberries into my cottage cheese snack. Tasty!

Body Smart Roasted Chicken Breasts with Lemon

A tasty seasoning, a squirt of lemon, something so savory it made me smile.

Road Trip

Spring break tempts people to travel and take a vacation. Trips should be accompanied by healthy snacks so that one is not tempted to binge eat unhealthy fast food lining the side of the road. For this road trip, in order to not stray too far from the road to health, I brought the following:

A Healthy Weight

There are so many reasons brought to my attention as to why one should live his/her life at a healthy weight. In order to keep going on the right path, to keep spirits high through all the hard work, I try to remind myself of what I achieve with each pound I lose. 

For instance, all those extra pounds on an individual's body cause "your knees and hips [to] experience up to 3 times as much pressure with each step." Furthermore, "every ten pounds of excess weight gained, the risk of developing osteoarthritis increases by approximately 40%."

With those detrimental notions in mind, I definitely love hearing this next line:
"Overweight women who lose as little as 11 pounds decrease their risk of developing arthritis by more than 50%."

Consequently, all the effort is definitely worth the pain. Ultimately, every little bit counts towards a healthier lifestyle.
