8 Reasons Why Walking Is Good

#1 It is great for the heart
#2 Ladies, it cuts breast cancer risks
#3 It helps you sleep
#4 It cuts down on aches and pains
#5 Makes you happy
#6 Keeps you slimmer
#7 Keeps away senior moments
#8 Protects your bones

Are those 8 good reasons to go for a walk a few times a week?? I certainly thinks so! Now that fall is here go out and stroll through the parks or your neighborhood to enjoy the fall foliage. Forget that long, hard drive up north, enjoy the beauty and the fresh air in your own neck of the woods. If you feel you must drive up north, then find a park or a long road to walk down. Besides, after sitting in the car for a while you will defiantly need to stretch your body. So what are you waiting for, go to your closet, put on your walking shoes and go for a walk..sitting here isn't going to help you any!

Bigger Muscles

I have discussed diet pills before but I have never asked about or talked about bodybuilding supplements. Seeing as I don't know very much about them I decided to do a little reading. And like diet pills, there sure are a lot of bodybuilding supplements! I noticed that there were a lot of articles about Creatine and of all the supplements, is the safest. Don't get mad at me if I am wrong!
There were also plenty they claim you should stay away from as well. Such as HGH, Anabolic Steroids, Prohormones and GABA just to name a few.

What I really want to know is if you or someone you know have taken bodybuilding supplements. If so, did they work, any side effect, where they legal or illegal? What ever you want to share.

Florida-Have you been?

I have been to Florida once..and might never go back. Well, I would like to take my son on one of those Orlando vacations one day so I shouldn't say never! We stayed in Fort Lauderdale, Florida for a few days after out cruise in 2006. It was hot, even in February and it was smelly. My husband never smelt a thing, hell he can't even smell a skunk. Me on the other hand, I smell everything! Needless to say I wasn't very impressed. It just goes to show you that one person may love something and another will dislike it, even in Florida!

Well enough about Florida, I have a post to write up..more on topic with this blog!

Banks - What's the deal?

It is pretty scary to me what is going in with these banks. I often wonder if my money is safe, what will happen if I can't get to my money? What I find even stranger is the fact that my parents ban has been calling them and trying to convince them to invest their money. (They just sold there house a month ago and the made a decent profit) I wonder why and my mom is saying "No way Jose!" They are not the type to be risky with their money especially in these days, they have invested, but never anything like online trading or at least not that I know of. So she is feeling pressured by her bank and she finally demanded that they stop calling her. Isn't that harassment? She is so uncomfortable about it that she said she is considering changing banks and quite honestly, I think I would too!

The Junk I Get & Wise vs Worse

Geez, some of the junk mail I get is unbelievable! I get everything from "You have won!! to "Buy our horse supplements" Ummm thanks, but no thanks!


A couple of weeks, maybe a week, I did a Wise Choice vs Worse Choice post about junk food vending machines and today is the Fresh Food Machine. Ever look at that fresh food?? Some of it doesn't look so fresh. I'll fess up to buying something from it once and only once. I decided on a chicken sandwich of some sort and what I received in return was a case of the shits! (sorry) Needless to say, I would rather chew off my finger than get something from there again!

Back to my post..

Wise Choice: The salad! Was that such a surprise? Nooo. A baked potato that would be a pretty good choice too, but the salad with dressing on the side is the best.

Worst Choice: Any one of the sandwiches! Really, I'm serious. They are loaded with high fat spreads and white bread. White bread is junk carbs and those carbs are the ones that get stored as fat.
