Ways to live a long life

Do you want to know the ways to live a long life?

They mentioned that the oldest men were living in a small countryside village in Sardinia, Italy. The oldest women were found in a small village in Okinawa, Japan. And they found a religious community in California living longer than the average American.

Chocolate: what cravings mean

What cravings mean and know how to stop them

Have you ever thought about what cravings mean? I did. I’ve realised that the week before my period I always crave chocolate when normally I don’t really have a sweet tooth. True story. But I do like salty and stodgy food in general (maybe in winter) but that’s my taste or so I thought.

Lose weight: person stepping on a scale

So: did I lose weight this week?

Yes, I did lose weight.YAY.

The first two weeks I lost 3 kg in total, on the third week nothing much happened as I let go a bit and this last week I lost 1 kg. So I lost 4 kg in total. I went from 68 kg to 64 kg. I’m so pleased.

I measured myself as well:

belly: from 34.5 inches to 34 inches;

biceps: from 11 inches to 10 inches;

thighs: from: 23 inches to 22.5;

bum: from 39 inches to 38.5 inches;

I’m so happy that my commitment paid off. I will carry on my exercise routine and my diet until I reach my ideal weight. As I said: I’m not fat, I just want to be slimmer and healthier. If you think I cut out alchool and junk food for a month you can see how my body feels better in general. Continue reading →
