GOT A Minute - 30 ways to improve your health and well being . . .

From my Curves Magazine - any of you do Curves out there? It is absolutely fabulous.

Got a minute? 30 ways to Improve your health and well-being. Now what I think about lists - I don't worry about them. I read them and pick out the ones I do already (and I tell myself good job) and then I pick another one or two I could change. Nobody can do all of them.

Take a breathing break. ♥

Straighten up. ---

Do a skin check. ♥

Look out the window. ♥

Blow a bubble.

Strengthen your thighs. ♥

Take your pulse.

Lighten your load. ♥

Breathe Right, sleep tight. ---

Floss your teeth. ♥

Go Nuts for nuts.

Stretch it out. ♥

Heat up with capsaicin (peppers).

D is for do. Like the 'D' one. ♥

Water frequently. ♥

Stand and move. ♥

Read the fine print.

Crave the cranberry.

Well I don't know where number 30 went so I'll add - give yourself a treat once in awhile - for example, for me I could have gelato once in awhile... ♥

"(What It Takes to Burn Off a Bowl of Ice Cream)
Yup — I get it — I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream. But if your ice-cream habit involves a permanent stash of Ben and Jerry's in your freezer, you've got a problem. While an occasional treat won't kill you, eating ice cream every day — even once a week — can be a diet buster. Let's look at how much your favorite indulgence will set you back.
Vanilla Ice Cream
Calories: 460 for one cup Exercise equivalent: Walking, biking, or running
Walking: 103 minutes
Biking: 49 minutes
Running: 49 minutes Walking two hours makes that ice cream less of a treat, doesn't it? You can still have ice cream from time to time, but look for low-fat varieties and keep your portion sizes to no more than a half cup". http://www.dietdetective.com/daily-diet-tip.aspx?issueid=41050

So my advise is to do both - exercise AND then eat the ice cream (lol).

Do all these things and you can look like me - see above! (teehee)

We have to get healthy because:

Why do we need to get healthy?
We're going to get a health care plan shoved down our throats that is written by a committee whose head says he doesn't understand it, passed by a Congress that hasn't read it but exempts themselves from it, signed by a president that also hasn't read it, and who smokes, with funding administered by a treasury chief who didn't pay his taxes, overseen by a surgeon general who is obese, and financed by a country that's nearly broke. What could possible go wrong? (Sorry - couldn't resist).

Who makes these crazy lists anyway?
