Sharon’s Reply
Erin,
You did a good job of keeping a food diary while still unpacking. You mentioned that you tracked saturated fat once. Do you have high cholesterol? People who are trying to lower their cholesterol need to keep their saturated fat intake to less than 10 percent of their total calories.

Hello,
We’re finally getting organized around here. We can find most rooms, and we have our kitchen back.
This week was better than last week. I spent more time at our gym. In addition to that, we went paddle-boating for a while. I also had to go to the capitol and drop stuff off three times this week.
Healthy, Toned Hamstrings
Feb0
You may be ignoring your hamstrings; after all, they are not as prominent as other parts of your body. Perhaps you do not even know they are the primary muscles that run down the back of your thighs. They are responsible for giving slim legs an attractive curve that is visible in shorts or bathing suits.
Exercise Lowers Hypertension
Feb0
There are 50 million Americans with hypertension, or high blood pressure, who are also at higher risk for cardiovascular disease and stroke. Exercise, even in small amounts, reduces mild hypertension within six to eight weeks. In addition to lowering high blood pressure, regular aerobic exercise may also help to prevent it.
Employee Home School
Jan0
Continuing education for employees can be costly. So, too, can employing undereducated staff members. To keep employees current and save money on staff training, the AlliedSignal Employee Health & Fitness Center uses its own employees as a resource in its Internal Cross Training program. Staff members hold monthly seminars, workshops, choreography sessions and personal training classes, and teach peers in areas of their expertise. Employees also bring in current literature (articles, studies, books, etc.) to weekly staff meetings to share with the group. Internalizing education keeps money in the company and keeps the staff mentally fit.

Exercising your Options
Dec0
Industry sales figures and user-preference surveys indicate that three of the most popular indoor machine-based exercise options are exercise cycles, treadmills and stair climbers. Each type of machine tends to appeal to individuals looking for a particular exercise “experience.”
Exercise cycles. Statistics show that the stationary exercise cycle remains one of the most popular pieces of exercise equipment in the United States. In general, exercise cycles can be categorized into two basic groups: standard stationary bikes and ergometers. The primary difference between the two is that ergometers have a feature that stationary bikes do not — a mechanism for calculating (and showing an exerciser) how much work is being done while the individual is exercising. This feedback enables individuals to better evaluate the effectiveness of their training efforts, and serves as a yardstick for monitoring progress and setting goals.
Stress, Exercise and Healthy Eating
Oct0
Stressing less and being active can help you be more successful with your diet. Research has proven what we always suspected: stress can make you sick. In particular, chronic stress can suppress the immune system, making us more susceptible to colds and flu, depression and even cancer.

Kosrae
Kosrae is truly the undiscovered Micronesia — still unknown to the commercial world of general tourism. This is a beautiful, unblemished island of peaceful villages and a traditional way of life in a remote setting of tropical beauty. This island supports a rural population of 7,000 islanders who live a simple life and are devoutly religious.
