  Every diet pushes water.  General health pushes water.  Hydration!   From the Mayo Clinic: Getting enough water every day is important for your health. Drinking water can prevent dehydration, a condition that can cause unclear thinking, result in mood change, cause your body to overheat, and lead to constipation and kidney stones. Water has no calories, so it can also help with managing body weight and reducing calorie intake when substituted for drinks with calories, such as sweet tea or regular soda. Water helps your body: Keep a normal temperature. Lubricate and cushion joints. Protect your spinal cord and other sensitive tissues. Get rid of wastes through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements. Your body needs more water when you are: In hot climates. More physically active. Running a fever. Having diarrhea or vomiting. So how much water. Well that is debatable. The U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine determined that an adequate...

 This journey of weight loss seems impossible - I have lost the same 5 pounds over and over and just when I find a program that answers some of the things I am dealing with, up pops the price tag.  I was really liking this program I started on Facebook.  It is a week long program - I learned a lot.  So disappointed today when she said - you know Monday will come and most people fail next week without the community and program.  Gee thanks - oh and by the way the program costs $999. I have waisted a lot of money on programs, pills and diets.  And each one has an answer but I don't think they do. Each individual has their own body - I know they basically all work alike, but do they?  My co-worker Felicia can eat like a horse yet gains no weight.  Me, I can diet perfectly for weeks and loose that 5 pounds.  Then I think - is it worth it - I miss the __________ fill in the blank. And then I go back to my normal eating -  My body has the same...

 Why the weird title - well, I feel like I am embarking on something new and strange for me - trying a Trainer for better health.  Now, I would never, on my own, hire a trainer,  I have tried Noom, Weight Watchers and numerous other diets online but nothing really gets me motivated for more than a few days.   So, my wonderful workplace, Title Alliance, got us a trainer, Coach Rami.  He is situated in Arizona and we will have phone calls, texts and zoom meetings with him.  It is still up to me though to do this.   I found it interesting yesterday in our zoom meeting - I am still waiting for the handout, but I took notes.  He wants us to answer Why.  He said nail down your why. I could be funny and give the Mensa answer to why, which is why not, but then it dawned on me, why not Bev?   On the humorous side, I listened to Coach Rami at the office before I started my day, Trixie, my work bff, of course was listening to. Trixie...

So I cannot loose weight  for crap.  I try different thing, but I always go back to bad habits, bad ways. So today I figured I am addicted - I am addicted to food, but unlike other addictions, I can't just abstain from it.  I need food to live.  And that is one key - ***Eat to live not live to eat. I read an interesting articles on trigger foods - so what are my top triggers.  Food that makes me go NUTZ, like 1 drink for an alcoholic So here we go. 1) Chocolate 2) Mayo 3) butter 4) bread 5) sugar 6) pizza 7) sour cream 8) dips So I guess what I am saying is I like sweet and creamy foods.  So how do I get around all these triggers. Not sure. Today I had coffee creamer which I realize now is the most sugary thing ever.  So I need to find a suitable replacement. I like dijon mustard - that can replace mayo for me - but for the rest - I don't know; how do you substitute chocolate - that is next to impossible. But first lets get ...

<a href="https://www.tomoson.com?code=TOPc5f3218b923f01ae4a0beca8055100f1" rel="nofollow" style="display: none;"></a> So, a couple of months ago I ended up in the hospital because they thought I might of had a mini-stroke.  I had a bad headache and while the doctor was checking me over they found some weakness on my right side - my hand and arm weren't as strong as they should of been. Well, all turned out ok, I didn't have a mini-stroke, of course, they found something else, which I am not to crazy about. So - the other week I see an offer for this hand strengthener.  I thought why not try it.  So I ordered it on Amazon. Here is where you can find it:  https://www.amazon.com/YSJ-Strengthener-Strengthen-Rehabilitation-Exercising/dp/B07F6PYKBJ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1535508583&sr=8-1&keywords=grip%20strength%20trainer The Gripper thingy is adjustable.   I t has an adjustable tension from 22lb to 88lb, from super eas...

It is just me or is the world going to hell in a handbag - or maybe it is just the USA.  I am starting to be anxious about just living from day to day.  Everyday there is something else.  School Shootings, children being separated from their parents. Racial tension - the kind I thought we were over.  I mean what is going on people.  Why are we taking giant steps backwards as a society.  It is just Trump or is it us letting Trump play absolute ruler.  We aren't in a dictatorship yet, but you wouldn't know it.  If this was preschool President Trump would have a lot of time outs.  First, he doesn't play well with others.  He blames Democrats for every problem in the world.  He calls other people names, he doesn't know how to share.  He lies - or at least has his own set of truths.  He whines, especially when he doesn't get his way.  He is defiant especially to anyone with authority, and lastly aggression displayed thro...

< a href="https://www.tomoson.com?code=TOP40b11554513a868feb92078c5c20f19f" rel="nofollow" style="display: none;"></a> Heel.  I have Plantar Fasciitis and I am trying anything.  I went to the Podiatrist and he game me inserts that haven't helped much so I tried these inserts that I got on Amazon. I can't say they help - the heel gel inserts work a little and the other things for the Arch just hurt I am willing to try anything but I gotta tell you - it is hard finding something that works. In the meantime I will keep using the gel inserts. <a href="https://www.tomoson.com?code=BOTTOM40b11554513a868feb92078c5c20f19f" rel="nofollow" style="display: none;"></a>
