Lost 3 kgs and on top of the world.

April 14th, 2010

Right now, I am feeling like I’m on top of the world. I have lost 3 kgs. I am rather happy since it really isn’t easy for me to get rid of Photobucketthose extra kgs. Did I use any of those best weight loss products in the market? No, this time it’s due to all the walking I had to do these past few weeks and I slowed down on the food too. Yeay…

It’s amazing how happy you can feel for small achievements such as this. :)

Warning signs of cancer?

April 13th, 2010

Cancer, a dreaded word for many of us. Breast cancer,asbestos cancer mesothelioma, lung cancer, bladder and many others, are some of the many  killer diseases of men and women throughout the world. Even I have a couple of family members who had  succumbed to this awful disease.

No one is really safe from it. Hence we all should alway be on the alert and keep a regular check up with the doctor if we can. I’m sharing this information of  7 warning signs of cancer that I found from Siteman Cancer Center’s website.

  • A change in bowel or bladder habits
  • A sore that doesn’t heal
  • Unusual bleeding or discharge
  • A thickening or lump in your breast or elsewhere
  • Difficulty swallowing or chronic indigestion
  • An obvious change in a wart or mole
  • A nagging cough or persistent hoarseness

Prevention is always better than curing. But if there are somethings that aren’t easy to prevent, at least we should keep a close eye on our bodies, just in case we can catch this disease when if first appear. With the hopes that, the earlier we catch them the easier to cure.

Fatigue and grape juice.

April 11th, 2010

I have been feeling a little tired and fatigue  these couple of weeks. Most probably due to the drastic change of Photobucketweather. Feel as if I have a heavy gold bullion on each shoulder. (Not that I mind having a real gold bullion itself. :) )

Looking for remedies for fatigue, I found two sources that stated grape juice as a good remedy for fatigue and tiredness. Grapes should be fresh and blended or crushed to obtain the juice. If drank one glass a day of grape juice, the symptom of fatigue will vanish after some time.

It is worth the try since grape juice are natural and has no side effects (if you are not allergic to it anyway). Further it taste great. :)

Vacation weight.

April 9th, 2010

PhotobucketWhen ever people go on a vacation, they would say that their weight would change from before they go on a vacation. Some would say that, they could not follow their normal exercise or diet regime, or say they deserve to pamper themselves with good food. So they put on weight. I can totally understand this, because I am one of those ‘people’.

However, there is someone whom I know dearly,who said that he would lose weight when ever he goes on a vacation even if he doesn’t do any exercises. Well, I suppose it isn’t something so strange or impossible since it all depends on each individual. For him, when he goes on a vacation, he would become more relaxed, and not stressful. Hence he would do less ‘pleasure eating’. Interesting. Perhaps he should get one of those affordable used motorhomes, so he can take a vacation out of town when ever he wants and lose or maintain a good weight that way. :)

Unfortunately for the rest of us who puts on weight easily, we would need a well-planned diet specially for vacation and make sure that the location we plan to go to, provides us with enough fun activities to do, to help us burn the calories with the good food we take. What ever it is, as the saying goes, ‘when there is a will, there is a way’. So no matter where we are, or where we go, we should stick to our goal to lose weight even though the diet plan or exercise regime or method may change a little.

Feeling depressed.

April 4th, 2010

Depression is, “A mental state characterized by a pessimistic sense of inadequacy and a despondent lack of activity”. Although there may be some fortunate people who never ever felt depressed before, there are still many out there who suffer from depression, ranging from mild to chronic depression.

I for one, suffer depression at times. Have been suffering from it since I was a teenager. Due to the struggle with my weight, family issues, and lost of an important family member.From my own experience, when you are prone to being depressed, even a small unwanted insignificant event in your life would trigger it. Sometimes you just don’t know why you feel it, but the feeling is there. And nearly nothing would make you feel better. Not even if somebody comes, and for no reason just gave you a new playstation 3 as a gift, which on a normal day you’d be estatic, but not when you’re depressed.

I wonder whether depression is a sickness sometimes. Well, from the readings I’ve done on this, so far I think, the answer is, ‘it depends’. Depends on how terrible or chronic the depression is.  Some people would get out of depression as soon as they get in it, some would have to sleep and wake up the next day feeling a lot better about the world and themselves.  Perhaps, it wouldn’t be too much to say  that if someone has to take medications for his/her depression, then it is a sickness.

For me? trying to think positive is the way I control my depression. I must say, being depressed and trying to be positive isn’t easy but not impossible. Though sometimes I can’t control the way I feel, but at least I can try to control the way I do things. I suggest to myself about the positive things, and try to keep myself busy with things that would make me feel better.
