Diving Into My Own Sub

I really relish my sub sandwich. Lunch or dinner. A bit too heavy for breakfast. But wait a minute, I'm already drooling, these Subway Fresh Fit facts are so enticing; I'm going to try one in the morning. Just imagine this:

Meals Calories Total Fat Saturated Fat
SUBWAY FRESH FIT™ MEAL 340 4g 1.5g
Big Mac Meal 1230 49g 14g
Whopper Meal 1320 59g 15.5g

Wow! Can you believe only 340 calories for an entire yummy low-fat sweet onion chicken teriyaki sub? That's about the same calorie count as a 100g slab of broiled lamb chop! Looks absolutely good enough for breakfast to me!

Can I have the turkey breast for lunch and the Veggie Delight for dinner? Honestly I believe each of those would count as a balanced and nutritious meal for a day! Aha... yes, even the AMA guide and AHA agree with me: Heart Walk!

I think I'd rather be in Jared Fogle's environment than under Cindy McCloud's, if you know what I mean.

Washed down with a large Diet Coke? I'm sure Dr. Boyle will approve when I report topping it all with a low-fat Dannon yogurt dessert. Maybe I'll work out just a little first before telling him.

Whoa...I never thought I'd see the day when fast food would be recommended for kids. This one really takes the cake - even my finicky little girl would love it:

Meals Calories Total Fat Saturated Fat
SUBWAY FRESH FIT FOR KIDS™ 480 7.5g 4g
McDonald's Happy Meal® 500 15g 8g
BK KIDS MEAL® 530 16g 7g


Very impressive: " 28387 Restaurants In 86 Countries". Now, if only I could have them delivered at home.... Really? I can just...

Oh my, I think I'm in love with these SUBWAY guys.... um, girls. Well, either way, I don't really mind. The food is great, and healthy. OMG, it's not available yet in Little Rock: "We're Sorry!
Your search was unable to locate a SUBWAY® store."!

What am I going to do now? I can feel a rumble in my tummy... I guess I'll just keep dreaming of my Subway Club sub sandwich until I get some vacation time, but still happy just holding on to my very own...

AEROBICS

AVOID THE 3 MOST COMMON GYM MISTAKES


Mistake #1: No warm-up or cool-down

Jumping into your workout routine without a proper warm-up or finishing without a proper cool-down is a surefire way to set yourself up for acute injuries during the workout or chronic injuries over time......


Mistake #2: Poor technique

Doing an exercise too quickly or executing a move with sloppy form can increase your risk of injury. And an injury can interrupt your workout program, and make it difficult to be consistent and get results......

Mistake #3: Skipping muscles or movements

Most of us tend to work muscle groups that are problem areas or important to us. For example, many women place an extra focus on their legs, buns and thighs, and many men place more focus on their chest and arms. And everyone wants flat, tight abs!

It is OK to place an emphasis on the muscle groups that are extra important to you, but it is critical to provide your body with a balanced workout to avoid short- and long-term injuries......

WEIGHTS

Pump iron to fight flab – and aging



No doubt: As we age, our bodies slow down. We start to lose bone and muscle and we gain weight that becomes incredibly stubborn to lose.

But take heart, you can fight flab – and aging – in as little as a couple of hours a week.

How? By strength training....

SPORTS
SEVEN SECRETS TO AVOIDING FITNESS FAILURE

1. Smart, consistent scheduling – Keeping a regular workout schedule that fits into your life makes it easier to stick to your program......

2. Proper pacing and progression – Pacing yourself, listening to your body and not overdoing it help ensure you don’t get too tired or injured, and this makes it easier to stay consistent......

3. Shorter workouts when necessary – Even if you are consistent, life has a way of throwing curve balls into your schedule, and you may not always have the amount of time you had planned to work out. However, even a little exercise is better than no exercise.......

4. Well-timed workout “vacations” – To avoid burnout, it is important every now and again to take workout “vacations” – one day, two days … maybe even a week......

5. New adventure workouts – Trying a new activity, sport or challenge can be a great way to keep your training interesting and fun........

6. Strength AND flexibility training – Fitness fanatics tend to be “cardio junkies” and spend most of their workout time challenging their heart and lungs. However, a well-rounded workout program should also include strength-training and stretching.......

7. Workout buddies – The single best way to boost your workout consistency is to find someone to work out with you....

Remember, you don’t need to incorporate ALL of these tips. Just try the ones that appeal you.

Who is at risk?
• Women who are older. A woman over age 60 is at greatest risk. The disease is very uncommon before menopause.
• Women with a family history of breast cancer. Women face a greater threat if their mother, sister or daughter had breast cancer, especially before age 40.
• Not having children or having a first child after age 30 increases the risk. Women who had their first menstrual period before age 12 or went through menopause after age 55 are more likely to develop the disease.
• Women who become obese after menopause.
• Menopausal hormone therapy also increases the risk.
• Women who are physically inactive throughout life appear to have an increased risk of breast cancer. Being physically active may help to reduce the risk by preventing weight gain and obesity.
• Women who drink alcohol. Some studies suggest that the more alcoholic beverages a woman drinks, the greater her risk of breast cancer.
