Lose Weight, Feel Great
The Power of a Healthy Diet
Losing weight and maintaining a healthy body weight is important for overall health and well-being. One of the most effective ways to achieve and maintain a healthy weight is to eat a healthy diet. This means choosing foods that are nourishing, satisfying, and low in calories.
Eating a healthy diet can help you lose weight by providing the right balance of nutrients, including protein, carbohydrates, and fats. Protein helps to build and repair tissues, and it also helps to keep you feeling full and satisfied. Carbohydrates provide energy, and including the right types of carbohydrates in your diet can help to regulate blood sugar and keep you feeling energized. Fats, including both healthy and unhealthy types, are a necessary part of a healthy diet. They provide energy, help to absorb certain vitamins and minerals, and are necessary for proper brain function.

In addition to choosing healthy foods, it is also important to pay attention to portion sizes. Overeating, even healthy foods, can lead to weight gain. It can be helpful to use measuring cups or a food scale to ensure that you are eating the right amount of food.
Eating a variety of foods is also important for overall health. This means choosing a variety of different types of vegetables, fruits, grains, proteins, and fats. Eating a diverse diet can help to ensure that you are getting all of the nutrients your body needs to function properly.
In addition to eating a healthy diet, it is also important to get regular physical activity. Exercise can help to boost metabolism, burn calories, and improve overall health. It is recommended that adults get at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity exercise each week.
Smoothies can be a convenient and delicious way to incorporate a variety of nutrients into your diet and potentially help with weight loss. When made with a balance of protein, fiber, and healthy fats, smoothies can help to keep you feeling full and satisfied. This can help to reduce the temptation to snack on unhealthy options and ultimately contribute to weight loss.
To make a weight loss smoothie, it is important to choose ingredients that are low in calories but high in nutrients. Some good options to include in a weight loss smoothie are:
Leafy greens: Spinach, kale, and other leafy greens are low in calories and high in fiber, which can help to keep you feeling full. They are also packed with nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
Protein: Adding protein to a smoothie can help to increase its satiety value. Good sources of protein for smoothies include Greek yogurt, milk, tofu, and protein powder.
Fiber: Foods high in fiber can help to keep you feeling full and satisfied, which can be helpful for weight loss. Some good sources of fiber for smoothies include fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
Healthy fats: Including healthy fats in a smoothie can help to increase its satiety value and provide a source of energy. Good sources of healthy fats include nuts, seeds, and avocado.
It is also important to be mindful of added sugars and high-calorie ingredients when making smoothies. Instead of using sugary syrups or sweetened fruit juices, try using unsweetened almond milk or coconut water as a base. You can also add natural sweeteners like dates or honey to give your smoothie a touch of sweetness without adding extra calories.
While smoothies can be a part of a healthy weight loss diet, it is important to remember that they should not be the only source of nutrients. It is still important to include a variety of whole foods in your diet and get regular physical activity in order to achieve and maintain a healthy weight.
Losing weight and eating a healthy diet can be challenging, but the benefits are well worth the effort. A healthy diet can help to improve energy levels, reduce the risk of chronic diseases, and improve overall health and well-being. By making healthy choices and being mindful of portion sizes, you can achieve and maintain a healthy weight for a lifetime of good health.

Pints & Parkruns: Jubilee, Spennymoor
If MC Escher created a parkrun, it might look a bit like Jubilee. Based in a compact – but surprisingly lovely – park in the small County Durham town of Spennymoor, it twists and turns its way up repeated hills. Although basic physics says it must come down again, somehow this route never feels like it gives runners a proper descent.

Two Pink Lines
I had never really felt like a child. I'd always had to raise myself. My mother was just a teenager when she'd had me and consequently, we had spent my whole childhood arguing and fighting like a couple of sisters as opposed to mother and daughter. My father was older than my mother but still had some maturing to do himself. He focused his entire life on me, his little girl but never realized the pressure that put on me. I always felt I had to raise him even as he was trying to raise me. We raised each other. Then, I met him. He cares, he shows me a love like I've never known. For once, it's about me and I don't have to focus on other people's needs and what someone needs from me. Someone always wants something from you. That is what my parents have taught me. Love is selfish but it isn't with him. He is perfect, beautiful, funny, and can take me to places I've only dreamed about. Places outside my mind and my own pathetic life and I know that I will always love him. When we first met, I wanted him to have my children, but now? Right now, with us both still in high school? This is all happening so soon. I slipped into the restroom at work. It had been 6 weeks since my last menstrual and this was not normal. I couldn't wait any longer. I put the top on the test and waited. These 60 seconds felt like forever. What would we do? We were both seniors so we didn't have long to go before school was over but this was not the plan. The plan was for him to join the Army and me the National Guard and for me to get my associate's degree and then we marry, then have kids.
