Health - 25 July 2007

I want to lose about 55 lbs. I realize that I need to change my diet and exercise habits. What are good exercises to do at home? (I have small kids and can't really get to a gym) I don't really like "salad vegetables" I know it would be a big help if I liked them... ugh lettuce just tastes terrible to me... Where can I find good recipes for dinners for a family of 4? I would like to lose about 2 lbs a week until I reach my goal. Any advice on diet or exercise or anything else related to weight loss would be helpful, Thanks!

I feel that I have become too logical. I tend to think too much about the things in life that require very little thinking. To me, sleeping is not "Lie in bed, fall asleep, dream, and wake up." My version of sleep is "Lie down on the bed, find a comfortable position, close my eyes, focus on nothingness, wait for a few minutes, sleep, wake up, think about last night, and finally start my day."

When someone looks out a window, he or she might see a tree. It is there to that person. The person has no further questions.

If I saw the same tree, I would know that it is a tree, but I would begin to think about what type of tree it is. I would think of the animals that could live in it. I might compare it with other trees in the area. I also might think about what problems the tree could cause and how to solve the problems.

Am I over logical?

Ok I eat only when I am hungry and go for a fast pace (2 steps a second) walk for about 30-45 minutes a day depending on my schedule.

I'm still not loosing any weight just staying where I am at. Not on any medications.

Now I have noticed that my legs are firming up but that's about it, so any suggestions?

Around November of last year I started going to the gym 3-4 times a week plus a 30 min walk each day and I started a diet. I was not largely over weight, but I had gained some weight and wasn’t happy with my body. I’ve lost a lot of that weight, but I still want to lose about 5 to 15 pounds more and tone up those mucles. I’m vegetarian and highly allergic to fish (Some vegetarians eat fish). I don’t eat a lot of carbs (I eat some for the energy when working out) and I keep fats and sugars to the absolute minimal. I don’t drink more than 2 or 3 diet sodas a week. I mostly drink water and orange juice. My workout consists of an hour on the bike and a 45 min to an hour of weights. The last of the weight seems REALLY slow in coming off. Sometimes I feel as though I gain a little back after I lose some, but that might be all in my head. Am I doing something wrong? Do I need to change something?

Considering that there has never been a reported overdose of marijuana; that numerous medical studies have shown it has a wide range of beneficial attributes with regards to AIDS & cancer patients, delaying the onset of Alzheimers plus others; that it is less addictive than cigarettes or alcohol and has no qualities of physical addiction, isn't it time to just get over it?

It's not a gateway drug...that would be alcohol or cigarettes, which anyone who's ever smoked marijuana will tell you they used long before they ever tried weed.

Any effects it does have are no more severe than alcohol, though alcohol is arguably far more dangerous. It does not have as many carcinogens as cancer and recent studies suggest THC may act as a cancer inhibitor. In fact, the evidence is inconclusive that marijuana smoking alone results in lung cancer or head and neck cancers.

My husband was diagnosed with depression 6 years ago. He has been on several types of medication, they all work for a while and then they just STOP. I have studied alternative medication for 2 years. My husband really doesn't want to be on the pills anymore, so I have been giving him the Sam-E supplements along with St Johns Wort and a Stress tab with energy. I am wondering what else I could be doing. I was giving him a Kava/valerian supplement for his anxiety but recently he started to state that he was exhausted, so I started giving him the stress tabs instead. They are like an energy vitamin with iron. Does anyone know anything that can help me, I am doing the best I know how. Do homeopathic clinics take insurance?

Yesterday afternoon I had a really bad cramp in the middle of my stomach. I just switched birth control 2 weeks ago to seasonale and I thought maybe its a cramp but I'm not due for my period til October. I took a tylenol and went to sleep. When I woke up a few hours later I felt very nauseus. My boyfriend brought me some dinner from McDonalds, I was able to keep it down but I had that feeling like just before you throw up for several hours. After that I felt ok and just went to bed. I woke up this morning and felt ok until I started to walk to my car and from my car to my work (which is about a 10 minute walk) it feels like someone is jabbing me in my right side with a dull knife and if I sneeze (which I do often due to allergies) it feel like someone is sticking a knife in me turning it over and over. I had a similar pain to this in my left side after I passed out and my doctor said I just pulled a muscle but nothing has happened to suggest that. Now it feels like I was hit by a train
