Dieting and exercising plans
Today I'm pondering the word "diet" or the word "weight loss" . I've started growing concious about my weight. The reason I say this is because I had a supervisor at work the other day tell me that he thought I was gaining some weight. Well, to me, It's a no-brainer. I know I've gained some weight. It's obvious from the spare tire sticking around my waist line. I see it in pictures of myself and my doctor years ago told me I was 20lbs overweight. It's hard for me to face the fact that I really need to lose some weight, not just because I'm overweight but, because I have heart disease. I have to say it's not easy losing weight. I used to look at all those big heavy people walking around and I would be laughing wondering why they were so big and why they couldn't lose weight. But now I have a little understanding of how they feel. My wife and I were going to buy a treadmill some time ago but a good friend of ours had one they weren't using and gave it to us. We put it in our bedroom and for a few weeks we used it just about everyday. Now were lucky if it gets used once a month. I work the swing shift and get home late about 11pm at night. Most times I'll come home and eat a regular meal and then brush my teeth and go to bed but I heard it's not good to eat so late because the food just sits in your stomach and doesn't digest. Sometimes I'll come home and just binge eat for now reason. My wife has started to eat more healthy but I think I'm dragging her down with my less than perfect support. I think it's a lack of motivation and effort on my part. I think I don't want to go on a diet for fear of failing. Does this sound right? Probably not but that's my excuse.

XFLOWSION - The ultimate 3-in-1 workout
Ever since I quit smoking I noticed that I continue to gain weight even though I'm exercising, eating less and eating healthy. I've tried many different weight loss pills and products, all to no avail. What I am really looking for is a natural remedy so I wont compromise my health. I am taking heart medication, blood pressure medication and cholesterol medication and a weight loss pill to help me lose weight. I consulted my doctor about the weight loss pill that I was taking and he recommended that I stop taking it because of the poor results I was having. The weight would come off but it wouldn't stay off. Eventually I just decided to give up on my diet since I wasn't getting anywhere and didn't like my results. That is until a friend of mine at work told me about XFLOWSION. I borrowed his XFLOWSION DVD to see how the program really works. They have a 3-in-1 workout where you dance, yoga and martial arts exercise to sweat, sculpt and stretch your body into a complete transformation. After a month in the program I started noticing changes in my body and weight. The workout is fun and exhilarating and I always look forward to the work out. I broke down and purchased the DVD program for myself and now I use it everyday and I am very happy because it has changed how I look and feel about myself.
This program beats all other programs because you will see results in 1/3 the time compared to those other programs. Did I mention a 30 day money back guarantee if your not satisfied? Stop wasting your time and money on bogus diets that promise you good results but don't deliver. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Visit their website now and try the product.

Stress Test Results
Wow! i guess I'm doing something right in my diet because i had some positive results from my doctors visit. I had to go to see my cardiologist yesterday to get the results of my stress test that i did last week so that i could update the medical part of my class B commercial drivers license. One of the requirements of having a class B drivers license is that you must have a yearly physical and one of those requirements is a stress test. A stress test, sometimes called a treadmill test or exercise test, helps your doctor find out how well your heart handles its workload. As your body works harder during the test, it requires more fuel and your heart has to pump more blood. The test can show if there’s a lack of blood supply through the arteries that go to the heart. Taking a stress test also helps your doctor know the kind and level of exercise that’s right for you. My results were normal I'm happy to say and the study showed that i had a 1% chance of having a heart attack or death in the next year compared to last years results which showed i had a 10% chance of having the same symptoms. Not too bad huh? So what i recommend is drinking plenty of water, getting a lot of sleep. eat lots of chicken and fish, stay away from fried or greasy foods, don't smoke and if you do, quit, eat lots of fresh vegetables, take 2-4 fish oil pills a day, (good for omega 3 fatty acids) multivitamins, and exercise or walk as much as you can. I also drink a glass of wine every other day which the doctor says is good for you rather than beer. That's it. Do those things and your sure to improve your health 100%.
