For the past few weeks I have not been able to keep the promise I made to myself- loose 10% of my body weight by December. At the start of September it seemed like a very doable goal. I needed to loose 16-18 lbs for Christmas. This is last minute diary, more like an open thread of the WHEE community.

This was a last minute idea for a diary while sitting at my desk under a pile load of work yesterday evening. I was very busy and it was raining outside making it difficult for me to go for my usual walk/run. On such days the only way I try to take control of health is by being conscious about what goes into mouth. This diary is going to be short and quasi open thread on healthy food recommendations. I am writing it more to keep the community in the alive mode. The driving spirit of this group is Sheddhead and she has gone AWOL but I hope whatever is keeping her away is good.

There have been a few diaries in the WHEE series so far on being fit through eating and dieting. Small portions, healthy food, low carbohydrates, lean meats etc. We have also had diaries on weight loss and exercise. For today's diary I have no particular theme because I have no motivation to think about healthy eating or exercising. Lack of motivation is the reason that I decided to volunteer for today's diary spot.

Apart from exercise and diet, being healthy can be achieved by eating the right kind of food, especially herbs. The medicinal value of many herbs is still being investigated from scientific standpoint, especially for chronic illnesses. But herbs can also help us keep everyday cold, digestive issues, menstrual cramps and gas at bay. Before I go into more details, I'd like to point out that I am not a medicine doctor though I do have the right to add Dr. as prefix to my name. So before you decide to use my experience with herbs for yourself please make sure you are not suffering from any illness which can jeopardize your health due to intake of certain herb. Join me below the fold for some tips on introducing herbs in everyday meals.

There was a lot of media coverage over the PETA advertisement rejected by NBC for super bowl. But there was another advertisement rejected by NBC which doesn't seem to have not received any mileage after its rejection.

Ofcourse the fact that not many people know about it, may be good.
The ad project an image that America has a black president only because a woman i.e. Barack Obama's mother did not opt for abortion. It is much more disgusting given the fact that the advertisement was made by and paid for by catholicvote.com
The organization is assuming that the abortion option was not opted for by the mother because it was not available.
