Eating healthy at (PUB)licity Restaurant & Bar in Bellevue



On Tuesday night, Jan. 28, I was invited to a small pub in Bellevue,
(PUB)licity Restaurant & Bar, to hear live jazz music (Newell &
Sorrells). I was not expecting much in the way of food from a place that
specializes in bourbon and beer, but felt like I should order
something, so I asked for a menu. Who knew I would fall in love with a $4 salad?

Sunscreen not just for summer: Why you should protect your skin in winter



The sun is out all year long which means we are exposed to the damaging rays of the sun all winter long, even during a polar vortex. Prevention of carcinomas and other skin damage occurs by limiting
exposure to sun and by protecting the skin from head to toe when you are
in the sun.

Obamacare Replacement Proposed by Republicans - MainStreet

Obamacare Replacement Proposed by Republicans


Senate Republicans revealed their vision for health care yesterday in a proposal drafted by Senators Orrin Hatch (Utah), Tom Coburn (Okla.) and Richard Burr (N.C.) as a legislative blueprint for conservative reform. Unsurprisingly, as its first order of business, the Patient Choice, Affordability, Responsibility and Empowerment Act (P-CARE) repeals President Barack Obama's health care law in its entirety.

It then spends eight pages largely putting that law back together.

My First Hike of 2014

Today I led my first hike of 2014. Not only that, but  it was my first hike since I pulled something in my hip in mid-November.

Of course, I have built up by walking in my neighborhood and local park, but this was my first day back in the Warner parks. I set an easy goal of a mile and a half on the paved roads in an area I knew would be relatively flat -- no sense re-injuring my hip on my first hike! I posted the hike on a couple of boards and had 14 other people show up, so it was a fun outing.

The weather, which has been brutally cold, was picture perfect. I prefer to hike when it is cool, and I felt rejuvenated being outdoors exercising and enjoying nature.

I also had purchased a green aluminum hiking pole (pictured above) which I just love and plan to use on all my future hikes in case my hip or anything else ever starts hurting on a hike again. Better safe than sorry!

I do recommend the hiking/walking sticks to anyone who has had an injury or who is approaching their senior years when things start to pop and pull. The one I got was lightweight, adjustable and under $20. You can find the SE Collapsible Walking Stick for as low as $16 on Amazon.

Hopefully I will build back up to longer trail hikes again, but slower, shorter, flatter hikes have a lot to offer, too. The important thing is to keep moving to stay healthy!

Do You Believe the "Fat by Fifty" Lie?

It is a popular myth that most women are fat and frumpy by age 50 or 55. 

There is a cartoon of a fat and frumpy Barbie caricature with the legend "Barbie Turns 50" making the rounds again. The cartoon would be funnier if obesity were not a national health crisis and if so many women were not not fooling themselves into thinking this is how all women look at 50 or 55.

If you choose to believe the lie, you might as well buy your muumuus now while the weather is cold. Maybe you will find a good off-season sale! 

Your doctor can tell you the average weight for your age and height as well as the healthy weight for your height and age. Don't use your obese friends as the standard. Find out what the real figures are. 

While Americans are choosing to let themselves become fatter every year, obesity is still not the average weight, nor should we enable it to become the norm. Cute terms like "pleasingly plump," "full-figured," "big and beautiful," and "curvy" do not represent the toxic health hazards of being fat. Unhealthy is NOT beautiful. Anorexia is not beautiful and neither is obesity.

Thankfully, most women are NOT fat and frumpy at fifty and my readers don't have to be, either. This applies to you men, too.

Eat better. Eat less. Exercise more. Live healthy. Be beautiful. Don't believe the lie.

5 States Potentially Headed for Obamacare Disasters (AET, CI, HUM)

 Is health care disaster on the way for your state?

5 States Potentially Headed for Obamacare Disasters

When it comes to the Affordable Care Act, commonly known as Obamacare, some states appear to be in much worse shape than others. For certain states, total enrollment has been nothing short of abysmal -- particularly when compared with the potential market size of uninsured individuals.

Source: HealthCare.gov

As The Motley Fool's Brian Orelli noted recently, experts say that ideally around 40% of Obamacare enrollees should belong to a younger demographic. That figure counts on younger Americans to generally be healthier. Insurance companies need a solid pool of healthy individuals to enroll in order to offset less healthy enrollees.

How many states have achieved that 40% mark so far? Zip. Nada.
