July Round Up #FamilyPictureJuly

July has been the busiest  so far for my family.  Between trying to finish our  DIY projects at home and   doing some road trips from here and there, we  definitely  made use of our time this month.  One thing is  for sure,  we  seize every moment of it together with our children.  We didn't want  the time to go by without spending it with our precious.  

Hubby and I also made it a priority to  take care of our health.  It's  odd that after we finished our major project of doing our  fence, we are both suffering from neck and shoulder pain.  I am not sure what causes that but we are  going to our doctor to  have it checked.  Other than that, we are doing  okay.

Aside from doing projects which keeps as active, we  also  play tennis and  take walks  with our children regularly to keep us busy and keeping happiness alive.  I love this  quote about happiness.

I love this quote about happiness.

 "To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one's family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one's own mind. If a man can control his mind he can find the way to Enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him."- Buddha

To continue on with our  monthly goal, I am reposting this family picture taken during my daughter's birthday.

I am happy to  have been given to  try LEAN PM, a  powerful fat loss supplement  and  sleep aid.  I bought one  bottle for my husband  last month and he liked it and it  produced result on him  so I said maybe I should try it since I have a hard time  falling asleep.  I am also struggling to lose the  10 pounds  I have gained  last year.  I am  pleasantly surprised when the  seller contacted me  and asked if I would like to try  this in exchange  for a review  which I immediately accepted.

After three weeks of using it, I have good night sleep and I also lost 5 pounds.  I was stuck at 103 lbs  even with work out  but after taking Lean PM, I am now at 98 lbs.  I finally reached my ideal weight.  I just wish that I could be consistent with my work out, I keep slacking.  If you are having trouble falling asleep and  also trying to shed some  pounds off, I recommend  this Lean PM.  You can  buy it via amazon.  It worked for me and my husband.  Here's what you can expect from this product

• STIMULANT-FREE FAT BURNER & SLEEP AID. Lean PM is the best fat loss supplement without using stimulants and caffeine. No jitters, headaches, or crashes. Burn fat while you sleep, it’s that simple. Lean PM uses a science-based synergistic blend of ingredients to promote relaxation, mood enhancement, and a deeper sleep.

Four-Part Weight Loss Strategy

People can view weight loss in two ways. They can view it as a restrictive burden full of hard work and depravations, or they can view it as a challenge that they can conquer with the right strategy. Each person does have his or her personal set of bodily processes. One person may have more difficulty losing weight than another person does. However, the following four-part strategy can help just about anyone to shed pounds very quickly:

Develop a Positive Attitude

Weight loss starts with a positive attitude. The person has to believe that he or she is capable of shedding pounds for it to happen. Negative attitudes bring forth negative results in many cases. Therefore, a person must be able to close his or her eyes and say the words, “I can do this.” 

Conduct Research

A multitude of fad diets, crash diets and aggressive products are on the market. A person will want to ensure that he or she does not fall into the trap of wanting fast results no matter what the cost. The person should look for natural weight-loss methods instead. 

Change Dietary Habits

Every person can benefit from some dietary changes. A person could benefit especially if he or she wants to lose weight quickly. Two tips that can cause quick results are:

• Drink eight glasses of water per day
• Eat five to six small meals per day
• Do not eat after 9 p.m.

Water cleanses the system and hydrates a person. The recommended amount of daily water intake is eight glasses. Increasing one’s water intake can prevent dehydration, and it can help to promote healthy elimination and waste shedding. Eating five to six small meals per day will increase metabolism. Additionally, avoiding eating snacks after 9 p.m. will keep the person from gaining unnecessary weight. The body’s metabolism naturally slows down when the sun goes down. 

Exercise Regularly 

Adding a vigorous exercise routine to the aforementioned strategy can bring some amazing results. A person can lose weight by performing cardiovascular activity for at least 20 minutes three times per week. Examples of cardiovascular activities are treadmill running, star stepping, bicycling, walking and rowing. A rowing machine can raise the heart rate as well as build muscles in the legs and arms. The previously mentioned tips will provide a good start for anyone who wants to make some naturally slimming changes.

Artfully Improving Health Through Science

I mentioned in my previous post that my husband is on  the "Biggest Loser" program that the company he is working for  is sponsoring.  He has been working out and eating healthier now so he lost  16 lbs already since I wrote the article about the detox product that we have.  The said  products works great on him as it boost his energy  but it is making him to break out so he stop using that and now he is  pimple free so we know that that was the cause of his break out.

Anyhow, here's his  recent photo after losing  16 pounds.  Saturdays is his cheat day, I sometimes cook food that has more than the calories that he needs and yesterday, we decided to treat him at Eat N' Park.  

On the other note, I have been hitting the outdoors for my run too.  Although we have been  getting  cold weather surprises from here and there, I still run outside as I prefer to breath fresh air more than running  at our treadmill in the basement.  I weighed 97.8 when I started and I am down to 94.4 lbs now.  

Aside from working out, I also got this weight management dietary supplement from Herbtheory.  This helps to promote  optimal weight when accompanied by diet and exercise.  This is vegan, gluten-free, wild-crafted herbs, and non-GMO.   Herbtheory is committed to providing the absolute best quality condition specific herbal supplements, hence, artfully improving health through science.  I love that it's non-GMO and gluten-free.  So far, hubby has been taking this and working good as he is trying to lose weight.  He lost 18 pounds already since his weight loss  journey started.  Taking these supplements at the same time exercising and trimming down your diet really works.

 It feels so good to be back  in my fitness routine once again.  I feel stronger as I don't run out of breath so easily when I  do my runs.  I hope that I can keep this up.   Hubby and I  promised each other to  eat healthy from then on and keep our healthy lifestyle so we could be there for our  children when they each have their own families.

5 Reasons to Watch your Heartrate while Exercising

Many regular exercisers incorporate heartrate monitoring into their daily exercise routines but many people, do not exactly understand why monitoring your heartrate is so important. Everybody that engages in regular exercise regimes should be aware of the 5 main reasons why heart monitoring is essential.

Safety

In order to be a safe exerciser, you need to be aware of both your resting and maximum heartrate. The average resting heart rate is around 40 beats per minute When you begin exercise your heart can beat anywhere between 60 to 100 times per minute. In order to monitor your heartrate effectively, it is important to know your exact resting heart rate and your maximum heart rate, and ensure that while exercising you heartrate remains between these two values.

Increasing Athleticism

It is also important to monitor your heartbeat to confirm that you are continually challenging your body. If your heart rate does not exceed your resting rate you are generally not working hard enough. Similarly, if your heart rate exceeds its maximum, you know that you are pushing yourself too hard. This will help you adjust your exercise to ensure they best fit your fitness levels.

Ensuring Weight Loss

In order to effectively burn body fat and loose weight you must ensure that your body’s heart rate is elevated enough. It is suggested that the most effective range for burning fat, is by exercising at a pace between 60-70 percent of your maximum heartrate. This should be done for at least 30 minutes, with short intervals, which raise your heartrate up to 90 percent of your maximum heartrate. By doing this you can burn stored body fat and increase your resting metabolism to burn weight faster in future.

Making the Most of your Time

When you are juggling a busy lifestyle, it is difficult to find the time to exercise. By monitoring you heartrate you can maximize the results of your workout in order to get the best results. By effectively monitoring your heartrate you can ensure you are at pace which isn’t too fast or too slow and that you aren’t valuable wasting time.

Highlighting Possible Medical Conditions

Although changes in your heartrate are normal when exercising, significant changes in your heartrate during exercise can indicate underlying health conditions such as: cardiac dysrhythmia (irregular heartbeat), thyroid disease, high blood pressure and heart disease. By monitoring your heartrate you may pick up on irregularities before it becomes more serious. If you detect any irregularities in your heartrate at any time you should seek advice from a medical professional.

Being aware of your heartrate while exercising is crucial for your safety, fitness and general wellbeing. Mick Simmons Sport offers a large range of fitness apparel and accessories, which are available at Mick Simmons Sport AUS. By purchasing a heartrate monitor you can make the first step towards monitoring and maintaining a healthy heart rate.
