Back again after a long interlude. Today I start my diary of my “jalking experience” – running and jogging for health. Two years ago I was involved in a car accident. My injury was severe whiplash. After a lot of visits to chiro and massage and some good hits of Valium I was good to go – but found something distressing. I couldn’t walk far. A few minutes meant a day or two in bed from pain. So started my bed exercises. Some old stretches learnt from the Readers Digest many years ago called Joe’s Back started to strengthen my back, legs and tummy muscles all while lying in my bed. Pilates, yoga and stepping to music started my exercise regime. It took me quite a few months to strengthen and tone muscles that hadn’t moved that well for a long time. Well then 50 rolled on and I decided two things – I didn’t want to diet ever again and I wanted to run. Close your eyes and imagine yourself running down the beach in slow motion. That’s what I started to see. The beach beckoned and I started to walk each day at a quicker pace and for longer distances…Oh how I hated watching the back of “that” 30+ girl with legs that came up to her neck, jogging off down to the next beach some 10 kilometers away. She looked like a gazelle while I felt like an elephant. Or “Miss Pink” the 20 something who in the middle of winter had a singlet top on and tight butt encased in black shorty things, make up and smelt great. I checked my heavily ladened shadow out and wondered if I would be mistaken for the abominable snowwoman. But I persisted. My first 3 kilometer part jog was a time for celebration. Ecstatic I told my Saudi homestay student my good news. I “jalked ” 3 kilometers today I happily told him. “You Joked?” he said in his new language.  I laughed and said no but I looked like a joke…and so now I “jalk” – jog and walk. I have gained weight since the death of my mum a few months ago but I love one of my books http://www.digitalebooksunlimited.com/diet/weight-loss which has a really common sense approach to weight loss and health. Again I realized I needed to get the shoes back on regardless of excuses. So regardless of weather, pain I was off. Hear is an account over the next few weeks of how I have done it, and how I am progressing. I am passionate about staying healthy to see my grandbabies walk down the aisle and even have their own babies and explore their worlds…can’t do that from a nursing home bed. Come on follow me and lets do health and fitness together. http://www.digitalebooksunlimited.com/diet/weight-loss get the info and lets get started.

How to overcome depression naturally perhaps homeopathy or do I start taking drugs?  That was a question that engulfed me as depression crept up on me with the speed of a freight train. Having suffered from depression – at one time crying for three days straight and unable to get out of bed – I know only too well the black tunnel that engulfs you and threatens to smother every light of hope or feeling of joy that you should expect to enjoy in life.

Would you recognize symptoms though? As a counsellor I “knew” the symptoms but still failed to recognize that I was totally on the brink of clinical depression. As a counsellor I fortunately had the tools to help make a full recovery. These are some of the questions this new ebook asks and answers. A must have for any family – teenagers and children are not exempt and more and more are going the drug therapy route before looking at other solutions.

Battling depression can be like fighting fires! You think you have it conquered and then it springs up again on another front. Australian Bush fires and floods, earthquakes, other natural disasters, victims of violent crimes or accidental death, unemployment, financial hardships from world economproblems, illness – all of these things can produce incredible depression and depressive episodes. How can you deal with depression using alternative methods and could Homeopathy methods work? Depression is an illness that all of us face at sometime or another whether or not it is clinically diagnosed as depression or you have periods of depression as we all do. There is help for you! Personally as a counsellor I have seen many cases of diagnosed and undiagnosed depression and I have seen many “remedies” undertaken to cure people. I am happy to offer a book that is offering an alternative method to the usual pill popping solution offered by the medical profession. As a counsellor I do recognize the need occasionally to bring balance back to your system but it is no easy matter to then separate yourself from the “drug” and its symptoms once you are feeling better. Check out the Homeopathy option!

As a 50 year old woman with three grown daughters and grandmother of three beautiful granddaughters, I recently found  I needed to get well and healthy. Diet, motivation, fitness, health these were all words I didn't like but was familiar with. I had to make some changes to my life and well being. I have always been conscious of not putting on weight as I have a family history of obesity but needless to say as the 40's came and went so did the kilos or pounds. Last year I was told by my doctor, "You're too fat! Loose weight or expect a heart attack." I had not considered myself obese but according to the weight scales for size, age and sex I was obese!! What to do? After listening to many self help books, tapes etc. I discovered I needed to make not only a diet change but a mental change. Diets keep you on a merry-go-round of weight loss and gain. So I decided – I was not going to diet but would change my thinking about health and fitness and in effect change my lifestyle. Anybody out there hear what I am saying about the struggles of weight loss!!
