Overcoming Barriers to Exercise

diet, health and fitness / 2 Comments

So, like millions of other Americans, you made your New Year’s resolution to get in shape. How do you make sure it actually happens? Here’s a great article on overcoming barriers to exercise. Let’s see which of these categories I fit into, and I’ll add my personal solutions to each: “I’m too tired to exercise after working all day.” I find getting up early really difficult. However, I purchased the 8 Minute Fitness DVD (here’s an Amazon.com link if you’d like to buy it for your very own). I like it for two reasons. One, it’s only eight minutes long, …

My Diet Plan: A Check In

diet / 3 Comments

This morning I stumbled on a diet website that’s almost exactly the plan I’m following: The DIY Diet. I have to say, I really hate diets like Atkins and South Beach. They’re just too “diet-y.” Weight Watchers is doing a promotion right now for how WW isn’t really a diet, and that’s what I’m striving for: to eat well but not have to eat large quantities of odd things or be deprived of my favorite things. As you may be able to tell, I log everything I eat on DailyPlate. I mean I log everything, maybe even a bit obsessively …

A is for Apple

diet / Leave a Comment

Lately I’ve been snacking on apples a lot. There is a farmer’s market down in the square below my building (though Friday is their last day of the season! No fair), so I stop every few days and pick up a bunch of yummy orchard apples to keep at my desk. I usually eat one every morning around 10 or so as a mid-morning snack to get me through to lunch. I also happened to use an apple last night in my soup and salad, so I’ve been getting quite a few apples into my diet lately! I haven’t really …

Nutrition Info on Receipts?

diet / 2 Comments

A few days ago, I posted about nutrition information on your beer. But what about nutrition information on your receipt? FitSugar had an interesting link today to Nutricate, company that makes software to print nutrition information right on your receipt at fast food restaurants. On their website, they say, “At Nutricate, we believe in the familiar saying, Knowledge is Power. We believe that education helps people make decisions, which are best for their lifestyles.” In their FAQ for foodservice professionals, they add, “Eighty-nine percent of our research study respondents said they wanted more nutrition information available at all restaurants. They …
