America Is Still too Fat
First of all, I worked out this morning and the air was so heavy, I didn't think I was going to be able to finish. It was hard to breathe. According to MSN weather, the humidity is 88%. OK. But I did it. Not as fast as usual. But I did it nonetheless.
Tracking my eating in the food journal is really helping—even though I wasn't so good about it yesterday. As soon as I have a photo of the food journal I intend to giveaway, I'll post it and you can enter my giveaway if you so wish.
Today I saw that the CDC released a report that said obesity is serious public health in the U.S. Why does it take a government report to point that out? Anyway, CDC says that Americans live in a society that promotes obesity—fast food, no exercise, and environmental factors that influence hormonal changes. (I don't know if CDC said anything about the environmental influences; I just put that in there in myself.) Anyway, without adding my opinion any further, for the most part we Americans like to eat—a lot—and we'd rather play video games or watch TV than go outside to walk, ride a bike, run, or anything that requires the use of muscles.
CDC promotes the calories in/calories out weight loss method. Some people believe they can lose weight without counting calories and count carbs instead. Either way, I think it works.
Most people, I believe, know what they need to do to lose weight. It's just doing it that's the hard part.
Well, I think that's it for now.
