img_ideal_weight

According to ” My Food Diary.com”, the number 1 enemy of your body is…

Well, before we say it and you probably already know what it is, lets just say up front that natural is the way to go when eating.

Your diet should consist of things that are “colorful, have variety and be fresh” according to Help Guide.org.

You need moderation in your diet with a balance of nutritional foods including those with carbohydrates, fat, fiber, protein, minerals and vitamins.

A diet should consist of exercise, water and moderate helpings of healthy foods. Banning certain foods should not be the goal, but as they say…”everything in moderation”.

But… the number one enemy of your body is sugar. According to diet experts, eating less sugar can reduce health problems related to obesity, blood sugar issues and concerns related to the pancreas.

The answer, according to Livestrong.com is to consume less than 100 calories a day in sugar.

So, you can still have sugar, just control the amount.

Reasons That Bloggers Fail

Businesses start and fail daily. Blogs are similar in some instances and both businesses and blogs don’t make it for the same type reasons. Here are a few things you MUST do if you want your blog to make it.

When blogs don’t make it, it is because the blogger didn’t:

1. Make it a business- Serious blogging is a business and to make it, you must commit daily and make this event an actual business adventure.

2. Stay the course- I have started and stopped writing on numerous blogs through my days on the internet. To be successful, you MUST stick with it daily.

3. Choose the topic you really know and love- Many times, bloggers begin writing on a blog but due to lack of passion, the love for the topic becomes lack luster and the blogging stops. Stick with what you know and love.

4. Lack of purpose- There must be purpose for a blogger and the information being offered. If no one is benefiting, why blog. So, have a reason and purpose for the blog and make it evident in the posts.

Here is a great place to visit to find out about faith and blessing

Below is what is on the Ten Boom website: “Extend the 100-Year Prayer Meeting

“God does not have problems. Only plans,” proclaimed Corrie ten Boom when a clerical error allowed her to be released from a Nazi concentration camp one week before all women prisoners her age were executed.

Though she was released from the horror of Ravensbruck concentration camp, Corrie continued to live with a remarkable reliance on God, just as her family had as they hid Jews from Nazi terror. Generations of ten Booms held Christian prayer meetings for Israel for 100 years prior to World War II. Click here to begin our inspirational virtual tour of the ten Boom home.”

Many of you may be interested in a website which began some years ago by 2 gals who want to “inspire” others. You’ve got to check this one out! This will be a fun website and offer tips for creating and doing lots of stuff! Here is what they say about themselves:”We are actually family-oriented, fun-loving women who enjoy life to the fullest. Part of what allows us to do that is our creative minds and our clever solutions to everyday problems. Some of these solutions are quick and easy and help us save time. Sometimes they are affordable alternatives that save us money. Sometimes we come up with neat ways to track and organize things in our lives, so that we can focus on the important things. Then there are the times where we do outlandish things simply because we can and we want to. But no matter what the purpose, the outcome is always clever and our friends can’t stop talking about it.”
