No Brain No Headache

I know I have days where I can’t seem to eat enough and the guilt I feel about it. I don’t do this a lot but I have a way I can balance it out. Many are going to groan at what I’m going to say but it has to be said. Exercise and calories burns.

I am not a fan of counting calories. I know when I’m eating something bad and when I’m doing well, I refuse to spend my days counting every single item that goes in my mouth but in order to weight on/weight off (can you tell I just watched Karate Kid?) is to use exercise as the bank you can withdraw from. When I eat something bad, I need to deposit something into the bank (exercise) or I will start my day with exercise and know kind of how much is in the bank. If I behave all day I’ve earned interest in the account, that means weight off. That’s how you lose weight, you save more in the exercise bank than you spend in the calorie count.

Start budgeting today and you could be in for a windfall in the way of smaller jeans, feeling better, whatever you are looking for.

Judging a “Book” by Its Inside Cover

Who hasn’t heard the saying “Don’t Judge a Book by It’s Cover”? Meaning don’t judge anything by it’s looks, which is so true. Books are like people, you can’t know much until you open it up and get to know the inside cover. The inside cover tells me what I need to know, enough to know whether I want to read it or not, to invest my time. Every now and then I fall for an inside cover and find it’s totally betrayed me, but that happens. The inside cover will only tell you the good stuff, a synopsis. You really can’t know a book until you read the whole thing, of course sometimes you know right off this is not the book for you, move on don’t waste your time or keep the book from someone else who might find it everything they were looking for.

Some authors write the same types of books over and over, and sometimes I think I will never read another book like this and then fall for another that is just the same. Maybe I need to realize this isn’t working for me and change the type of book I’m looking for. I hardly ever buy books, they have to really mean something to me, something I want to keep and keep going back to, to enjoy the company and the message of. Spend your book money well, life is short.
