The Math Behind Weight-Loss

One of the things I remeber about losing weight is the fact that you must exceed 10,000 steps a day. I suppose you would ask why? Well, in order to lose weight you must committ to doing exercise that will burn at least 500 calories a day. You must understand the math behind weight loss. Remeber the ole saying, "Everything revolves around math." That is a very true statement.
Here is the math to weight loss a formula you should always remeber when trying to lose weight. When I followed these matematical approaches weight loss began to happen. Previously, I couldn't understand why I could not lose weight. It's simple, if you have the time to do some of these tedious things. However, if you downloaded Lose It! then you are very close to a new beginning. Weight loss takes dedication and motivation in order to lose weight. So, I've listed the formula below.

1. 1lb of Fat equals 3500 calories
2. Every 2,000 steps equals 1 mile.
3. Every 2000 steps equals 100 calories!
4. If you reach 10,000 steps a day you have burned 500 calories.
5. If you can burn 500 calories a day then in 7 days you will have burned 1
pound of flesh off your body.

Tomorrow , I will discuss how you can apply this formula to your food intake..

Active weekend!

I stayed Active weekend playing Raquetball with my husband. We played at least 2 hours on Saturday but I ran out of gas during the 2nd game. I had to get something to eat so I could feel better. I drank plenty of water for sure. According to my pitcher I drunk at least 1/3 gallon of water and then some. Sunday morning we played again for at least 1.5 hours and I had to get home so I could rest up for Kickball later. I had a great time at kickball on Sunday, we won our game and I got to run all the way through the bases this time for a home run.


I strongly see the future of the Healthcare in the USA slowly headed towards a society where you will be rewarded for taking the time to implement fitness in your life. We are headed in the direction of Fitness and people must take the time to be more responsible for their own health. What does this mean for African Americans? Well, they most likely will be double charged for preventable illness such as high cholesterol, high glucose levels, Type II Diabetes, etc... African Americans will have to get on board with being active. I can see where patients will be penalized greatly for not taking care of their own health. African Americans especially women must get on board to taking a more active approach towards their own health. Many people are running to Doctors to get the lapband and or Morbid Obese surgery. What these people do not realize is that since they never changed their habits by implementing physical exercise they will gain the weight back in a minimum 5 years. Hell, one lady on my job had the surgery and last year she was small by December 20098by March of 2009 she was already gaining most of the weight back. Already back in her fat clothes once again. Wow, is all I could say at that one.
Most people are not paying attention to what is going on with Healthcare especially in the Black community. However, the President has already started a website for healthcare in which, all Presidents have had this website but this one is being emailed to everyone.

Soul Train was the best thing ever, how did it end?

One of the best TV shows African Americans had was soul train but that ended as Rap came on the scene. The next generation had no interest in being themselves they divided into two types of Blacks. Those who were gang bangers and those who wanted to change for the better.. What did this mean??? Well, those who wanted to change for the better no longer wanted to embrace being black so they changed everything and became the new found whites of America. They didn't and do not dance simply enjoying and expressing who they are. When I go to most black settings, I'm the only one who wants to dance or simply just get up and do something. Sitting around eating, gaining weight, not being active was never for me. I sure miss Soul Train.. one thing for sure I do not care about getting my hair wet or sweaty cuz guess what??? I can do it all myself. Remember, I learn quick just by watching.


I got this post from a friend on Facebook.,

What happened to the Karate Epidemic of the 70's and 80s?

Back in the 70's Karate and Kungfu were the biggest form of fitness. What happened to this era? Well, it seems since African Americans could learn how to fight and defend themselves there had to be a well designed plan to end this epidmemic. Men had come home from the Vietnam War which was located in Asia. They had first hand exposure to these ancient forms of defense. Most likely, they brought their knowledge home with them after the war ended. Now, when the men returned all they spoke about would have been all they had learned from the War. Then, Bruce Lee came on the scene. He began making Kung Fu and Karate movies revealing all kinds of secrets on the big screen. This may have gotten him killed for revealing ancient secrets but no one really knows. Previously, people never thought much about the Japanese or Chinese population. This new epidemic had everyone thinking they all knew Karate or Kungfu and people all over were afraid of them. However, as time continued children all over were watching Karate movies. They were the best thing ever. Children as myself would run outdoors to practice playing Karate. This activity kept us healthy and fit. We were exposed to how they learned certain techniques and movements. What people didn't expect was that we could see the movements and mimic them as quick as they were. When people saw this they had to end this movment of Karate. The U.S has always perputrated a plan to keep Blacks from defending themselves. All sorts of laws were put in place to keep Blacks from obtaining legal guns. Therefore, huge numbers of Blacks were learning how to defend themselves with their hands and feet. This became a problem and this generation and era of Karate had to end. They couldn't allow our population to become fit, healthy, and knowledgable into ancient art forms of Karate and Kungfu. This would have made Blacks very strong thus the era had to end. As a child of the 70s, we continued to try and learn this form of fighting. I practiced so much people in my neighborhood believed I knew Kungfu. All my friends were afraid of me because of all I could do. They were mimic forms of movements I had learned from the movies. Hell, once I even bodyslammed a girl who wanted to fight me. Therefore, girls never fooled with me too much. They were more afraid of what I could do. Later, I went on to learn correct forms of gymnastics. Previously, I learned how to flip watching the Karate movies. I was brave and bold. I never feared much of learning anything. I could watch anything and learn it. There were many more people out there just like me. Therefore, the era and most wonderful generation of Asian Art form ended here in America. Now, we welcomed the age of Obesity...
