Fitness and wellbeing is an asset that could be invaluable and should never be neglected. We all have plans to be in a better shape however not motivated enough to reach that goal. One of the crucial aspects of any fitness plan a great diet. The word diet has an extremely negative connotation, in fact the word diet seems like a yellow light.

Think about this, when you think diet first thing comes to mind is “I can’t eat anything I enjoy anymore”. We focus on the negative aspect of diet and then we get overwhelmed subsequently we give up. Eating well and supplements is that proverbial silver bullet in crushing fitness goals along with rest and a clear mindset. Diet, fitness and wellbeing.

What Does human decency mean to you? Why human race far greater than other species? Is it just the economical, technological, industrial advancements? Or is it our ability to choose and have free will, knowing right from wrong? Could it be as human time and time again we have found a way to come together transcend and prevail? Is it kindness? Could it be all of the above and more? For time and time again human decency has been put to test. All our lives we were taught the importance of giving and sharing. The very notion of kindness makes us who we are. The conscious choice being selfless and understanding beyond our own needs make us human among other attributes. Can you think back a scenario where someone reached out to you with helping hands or kind gesture? Now think again, what if that person hadn’t reached out? Now think back when you lent a hand of kindness to someone. It might have been something grand or even as small as a cup of coffee. More of human decency. Make kindness an everyday practice. - Moment 31

Getting in shape after 40. It’s not as difficult. 40 is a milestone in life Whether we like it or not certain age is considered a milestone.

Do recall that moment when you did believe anything is possible? As we get older we become more realistic, instead of chasing after our dreams we chase after goals that are morphed by surroundings and necessities. We create a new narrative and label it reality. By doing so we take jobs that make us miserable, we stay in relationships that are stagnant.

Normality became scarce and uncertainty is constant during this Covid-19 era. Working remote, home schooling, social distancing became a part of a pandemic controlled life. Parents had to learn to juggle working, parenting and yes home schooling. Covid-19 forced students to learn online in order to remain socially distant. Teachers and parents had to adapt to the new reality, and it’s virtual. Online chat, video, virtual classrooms became the major part of education. Home schooling became attending school due to this worldwide pandemic. It would not be an exaggeration to say home schooling became the ultimate safety net for education continuity in 2020 and the beginning of 2021. Advertisements REPORT THIS AD Reinvent and adapt to Covid-19 Schools, universities and colleges had to think outside the box. Hybrid, certain portion of weekly classes were and still are taking place online and rest in campus with accordance with the CDC measures against Covid-19.

Consumer confidence is more or less an indicator of the state of economy.

A weight loss meal plan When it comes to loose weight what we eat is the foundation. Calorie in calorie out though it’s an important concept, the type of calories being consumed is absolutely critical to the process. What we eat determines and plays a fundamental role in our body weight. Food is fuel but the wrong type of food could be counter effective. A meal consists of vegetables, clean protein, good carbs and good fat is fuel. On the other hand a meal that’s essentially junk food helps with hunger but doesn’t necessarily fuel our body. A hectic lifestyle often labelled as the culprit but it’s actually matter of priority. Yes it may not be reasonable to be able to cook nutritious meal for breakfast, lunch and dinner everyday for many but planning ahead could help. Planning is the key. We could get millions of metaphors so I’ll just use one for simplicity, weight loss meal plan is a blueprint for healthy body weight. There are many services available such as Balance by Bistro, Tiller & Hatch, Freshly and more who provide prepackaged healthy meals. Trying to loose weight? Try these steps. - Moment 31
