I'm a plant enthusiast dedicated to eating whole, fresh foods. As for exercise, I regularly participate in: swimming, water aerobics, yoga, the elliptical machine, the stair stepper, running, and weight training. I try to switch up my routine a lot so that I don't get bored. My biggest obstacle to weight loss is eating when I'm lonely or sad, but I've started keeping a list on my fridge of other things I can do to occupy my time. So far it's really been helping!
Aside from health and fitness, I was married in December 2007 and am enjoying being married and decorating our apartment. I am currently finishing my last semester as an undergraduate, and hope to begin an English MA program Fall 2009. I love reading, quilting, cooking, hiking, swimming, decorating, gardening, and striving to protect the environment. I'm also really pleased that Barack Obama is going to be our next president.
Let me know if you need a motivator! Good luck in your health and fitness efforts!

This one caught my eye especially:
16. Sugar can produce an acidic digestive tract.
Since I have been eating clean, (2 years now), I have not suffered from the horrendous heartburn that I once dealt with daily.
I thought it was just somehow in relation to becoming thinner, but more likely it's linked to extreme low intake of sugar, (which, FWIW, is only ever honey).
Cheers for sharing, Monique.

20. Sugar can lead to alcoholism.
Wouldn't mind reading about HOW this one works.

Indeed, like:
67. Sugar is enemy #1 of the bowel movement.
Everyone KNOWS that it's number 2.

I've always been bigger. Maybe not classified as being fat because I carry it pretty well. But, well, I'm fat. There's no fooling myself. In January, months of hard work paid off as my wife got pregnant with what will be our first child. I had been exercising a bit until that point, but I decided to ramp it up a notch and get my weight to where I can be healthy and be around a long time for my wife and kid.
I've been known to drop 40-50 pounds in 5 months or so on a few occasions, only to slowly gain that weight back over a couple years. This time is different. I know everybody says that and usually that statement doesn't come to fruit, but I've got that incentive...becoming a daddy.
Got a blog rolling-
rokandroll.blogspot.com
I post on it a few times a week. Mostly fitness stuff. I try to be somewhat humorous. Check it out if you're REALLY bored.

Excuse me. Won't post again.
Guess we didn't need a list to tell us that sugar is bad, though, hm?

Quoting: moniquearielle Excuse me. Won't post again. Whether every claim is 100% or not I appreciated seeing it. It made me happy with the changes I've made to my diet.

Quoting: moniquearielle Excuse me. Won't post again. Why not? Each one of those reasons has a reference cited. I don't think sugar is a killer but the truth is that most people eat way too much refined sugar and should reduce their consumption.

I agree. I don't think occasional sweets will kill you either, but I definitely think it causes health problems when eaten as frequently as most Americans.
