Having to get up...no matter what time we set the alarm clock. We DO pound the snooze button until we know we HAVE TO GET UP. . .(I've always joked, "the times I press the snooze button and if it lasts more than 5 year than I will stick with this brand of clock...knowing I am getting my moneys worth out of it...lol)
Barreling out of bed NOW in a panic. Climb that bath and turn on the shower till your wet hair resembeles 'the Grudge' character. Stand there half dead, repeating "ohhhh no yet another day". Race out the front door in hope of beating the over all traffic to the motorway or hopefully getting to the station and wishing...everyone forgot to wake up today. The train is completely empty when it arrives...just for you.
NO SUCH LUCK... as everyone is already on the train and the little space between them and the door you calculate. . "will I FIT..." thoughts run through your head..have to go on a diet so I don't have to squeeze on saying as per usual. "Sorry. .sorry" to the person who gives you a diry look, or you have just trod on their foot by accident.
DOG EAT DOG....SWEETHEART. . .SORRY HAVE TO GO TO WORK AND GET THERE ON TIME. Without the Boss giving yet another dirty look, and tapping his watch. Working through lunch is always a regular occurance. Chowing down a burger and fries that you barely notice. Only that your tummy yet again feels bloated and you feel like a little nap in the corner somewhere. . .By 3 p.m. you're crashing. Up you get off to the vending machine for an infusion of Hot chocolate to breath in before gulping it down and sighing with pleasure...or that well earned chocolate bar as you felt a 'Good Girl' working through lunch and Now...happy you are ahead of your work load. But by the time you finally finish work and head out to the car it's late and you're tired, and you need to pop into Tesco and pick up yet another Micro meal. . . well, you know the rest.
If this sounds familiar you're not alone: Apparently due to statistics. (I won't bore you with the figures... As obesity is obesity. .)This pattern of eating is typical for scores of college students, young professionals, single-working mothers (along with their children eating the same). Who are experiencing unprecedented levels of obesity and diabetes, ailments previously associated with older adults.
It turns out that in the gluttonous '90s, the group with the most dramatic gains around the middle wasn't middle-aged. College-educated 18-to 29-year-olds, usually presumed to be both the most active and image-conscious age group, had the highest increase in obesity of any group.
Why are well-educated 20-somethings packing on the pounds? FAST FOOD...CONVENIENCE FOODS...NOT COOKING and desk jobs. Too many late nights. . .(and NO not the night club ones of enjoyment. .oh no. . going to bed far too late! ! !) and we ALL know why..we need as much hours sleep as possible. (I don't want to bore you on that either).
Where once are parents had to work physically to earn their daily wage. The off spring stayed on at School, College and Universityies. Earned themselves less physical of occupations to their parents delight and pride....But unfortunately experts say, this generation they call the primary culprits. "Are sitting in front of a computer most of the day, eating fast food, and not getting much leisure activity because they work long days,"
Apparentely according to experts. . to blame also. As the less physical of occupational job are more brain taxing instead. The brain tends to find it harder to shut down and relax earlier in the evening. This same generation of adults are prone to be active on "Play Stations and same said like game consoles or to the internet as a way THEY FEEL/THINK IS A WIND DOWN"
Oww dear. . .
Quite simply apparently, many people in this generation are consuming significantly more calories than they're burning. We need to exercise at least an hour a day to stay healthy. According to guidelines issued in September 2002 by the national Institute of Medicine. Guidelines said they were concerned about the jump in obesity rates over the last few decades. Adults and children should
spend at least an hour a day doing moderately intense activities, such as walking, swimming, or bicycling, they said.
The CDC recommends getting at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise five days a week, but also notes that more vigorous activity more often will reap greater health benefits.
What !!. . .do I hear you say? So easily said then doing. .so true I agree the time in a day seems to get shorter and shorter nowadays. Our stamina level is decreasing year by year with the amount of responsibilities taken on board either at work or Home or even both too in some households.
