See how many calories you burn from each activity you do
I found this cool link that lets you see how many calories you can burn by doing lots of different activities - from playing guitar to bowling to bikram yoga to walking 4 miles per hour.I had no idea that all of these things helped you burn calories and lose weight!
Just because you're old doesn't mean you can't exercise!
• Check with your doctor before beginning an exercise routine.
• Pick rhythmic, repetitive activities and exercise at a pace that works for you.

Profile of Hope: Tracey Tann Parker -- Changes she made to get healthy, Part I, Food Changes
Tracey Tann Parker is a full-time nurse in the coronary care unit of Beth Israel Medical Center and a part-time, dual-degree nursing and public health student at Hunter College. Here Tracey explains how she found creative ways to eat right with her busy schedule.
Q: What were some of the changes you made?
A: Since I was working nights and so busy with school, I didn't really have a set time for eating. I was just trying to keep up with the readings and my assignments-I was eating because I had to and not really paying attention to what was going into my body. The school assignment had me focus on what I was eating and how I never had time to have an actual meal. I would just grab something along the way. Constantly being on the move limited my food options, so I started eating soups. You can always sit on a bus or train and eat a cup of soup.
