There some easy ways to eat nutritious foods or how bout ways to help your kids eat nutritious foods. I know they both are a pain and sometimes it's easier to just give up and let your kids not eat veggies. Because sometimes we don't like eating veggies either.
Well here's a twist.
There are two different books and one website that offers you help to getting your picky eater {whether a child or husband or elder} to eat there veggies. And I highly recommend both of there books.
The first that I came in contact with is called the "Deceptively Delicious" by Jessica Senfield and the more recent is "The Sneaky Chef" and this one also has a website as well which it shows some of the receipes Absolutely FREE! Which if you know me I love free. So please check them out and there well worth every penny!!
Here's the link to there website: http://www.thesneakychef.com/?utm_source=everydayhealth&utm_medium=banner&utm_content=bannerad&utm_campaign=everydayhealth

I read this In The News And it's another reason...
I read this and It opened my eyes. Made me realized that todays decisions that we make on our weighloss affects us years from now. I mean for every year that we stay overweight or obesity we our losing years off our lives. So basically if we choose not to workout today it's basically like saying I choose not to live an extra day. Now if we think of it like that it's really straight forward and makes us think of our lifestyles now. Sometimes we all need a little push. Maybe this article will give you an extra push as well.
"Obesity Takes Years Off Your Life
NewsBy Steven Reinberg
HealthDay Reporter]]>
TUESDAY, March 17 (HealthDay News) -- Being obese can shorten your life, a new study shows.
"Moderate obesity typically shortens life span by about three years," said researcher Gary Whitlock, from the Clinical Trial Service Unit at the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom. "By moderate obesity, I mean weighing about a third more than is ideal, which for most people would mean being about 50 or 60 pounds overweight."
More than one in three middle-aged Americans are now in this category, Whitlock said. "By contrast, weighing twice your ideal weight -- say, an extra 150 pounds -- shortens life span by about 10 years," he added.
This obesity level is still not common, but it equals the known 10-year reduction in life span caused by smoking. "So, smoking is about as dangerous as being severely obese, and about three times as dangerous as being moderately obese," he said.
The report is published in the March 18 online edition of The Lancet.
For the study, Whitlock and other members of the Prospective Studies Collaboration collected data on 894,576 men and women who participated in 57 studies. The people in these studies came primarily from western Europe and North America. Their average body-mass index (BMI) was 25.
BMI is a calculation that expresses a relationship between height and weight. People are considered underweight if their BMI is less than 18.5, normal weight when the BMI is between 18.5 and 24.9, overweight when BMI is between 25 and 29.9, and obese when BMI is 30 or more, according to the U.S. National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute.
The researchers found that men and women whose BMI was between 22.5 and 25 lived the longest. For a person 5 feet 7 inches tall, his or her optimum weight would be about 154 pounds, they noted.
For those with a BMI over 25, every 10 to 12 pound increase translated to about a 30 percent increased risk of dying. In addition, there was a 40 percent increase in the risk for heart disease, stroke and other vascular disease, a 60 percent to 120 percent increased risk of diabetes, liver disease or kidney disease, a 10 percent increased risk of cancer, and a 20 percent increased risk for lung disease, the researchers reported.
"Obesity causes kidney disease, liver disease and several types of cancer, but the most common way it kills is by causing stroke and, most importantly, heart disease. Obesity causes heart disease by pushing up blood pressure, by interfering with blood cholesterol levels, and by bringing on diabetes," Whitlock said.
People who are moderately obese with a BMI in the 30 to 35 range reduced their life span by two and four years. For those who are severely obese with BMIs between 40 and 45, their life span was reduced by eight to 10 years. That's comparable to the effects of smoking, Whitlock said.
In fact, people whose weight was below normal also died earlier, due mainly to smoking-related diseases, the researchers noted.
"If you are obese and smoke, then, above all else, quit smoking," Whitlock said. "If you are obese and don't smoke, then don't start, and do what you can to avoid further weight gain. By avoiding further weight gain, you may well live a few years longer than you otherwise would do. By quitting smoking, a smoker can expect to gain several extra years of life -- about as many as a severely obese person might gain by shedding half of his or her body weight."
Dr. David L. Katz, director of the Prevention Research Center at Yale University School of Medicine, said this study confirms that the obesity epidemic is "the clear and present danger many of us knew it to be."
The association between BMI and mortality has been challenged in the scientific community, due in part to uncertainty about weight estimates and debate about measurement methods. "Here we have an emphatic reaffirmation of the fundamental issue: Overweight and obesity take years from life," Katz said.
"We know that, in many ways, BMI is a crude measure of the health risks associated with obesity, since not all excess body fat is created equal," he said. "Weight gained around the middle tends to be most dangerous, so for those subject to this pattern, risks may indeed be higher than this study suggests. For those with lower body weight gain, risks may be lower."
A study published in the Nov. 13 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine also found that where weight is centered is a risk factor. Men with the largest waist circumference had more than double the risk of death, and women with the largest waist circumference increased their risk of death by 78 percent"

Getting Healthy in 2009
I know I have been away for a bit of time but now I'm back!
Actually from August and September I went On a big time lifestyle change! Changing my person habits and starting to workout everyday! I did this for two months and lost 20 pounds!
Now after the holidays I have gained back only 5 pounds which I'm very happy with. Now that the stresses of the holidays are over now it's time to get back in shape and start exercising on a daily bases.
Among everything else I am doing such as making money online running right now 3 blogs soon to be four and my own personal craft selling store I am starting again to focus on me and my health.
For those of you who know me and those of you who do not. Let me tell you a bit more about myself...
I have struggled with my weight for a long time. And I have been on pretty much every type of diet out there. Like most of you this may sound really close to home.
Well since Last October I have been eating healthy just not working out. At the End of December I started working out again and in a week I have now lost a pound. So only four more pounds of the Holiday weight to get off.
My first major goal is to reach 180 pounds by June. I am keeping this Blog with updates as well as my YouTube videos. On this blog I will list the sites that I find for getting healthy and staying healthy. And on my Youtube Videos I will be showing you the different exercises I do, consistant updates, and even some road trips of the different parks I visit. Before I forget if you want to watch my videos my screen name is SickOfBeingFat. Easy to find and remember :)
I hope you have fun watching my videos and getting to know me and maybe even inspiring you in the future months!
Stay Safe and Get Fit! While Balancing everything else!
