Nobody ever said that losing weight was easy. In fact, it's a lot of hard work, and it's easy to lose track even after months of success. Self recently covered ten of the most common diet mistakes people make. Knowing about them ahead of time may help you avoid them. They include:
Vaccinations aren't only for kids. In fact, CNN has a list of seven vaccinations adults need to seriously consider. For instance, you may have been vaccinated for whooping cough as a child, but experts say the bacterial infection is back, due to immunity of those vaccinated in the 70s wearing off. Doctors are recommending a booster for adults.
Pimples. They leave teens devastated, certain their social life is over. And for many, they don't stop when puberty does, continuing to plague men and women alike into their twenties, thirties, and beyond. You might be tempted to treat those pimples with a home remedy, but just the thought of you putting toothpaste on your pimples is enough to make a dermatologist shudder. 
A few weeks ago, I went to a movie by myself for the first time ever. I was feeling stressed out, overwhelmed, exhausted. I needed a few minutes of not being needed, and there was no babysitter in sight for a date night. So my husband took over and I took off. Thirty minutes into the film -- 27 Dresses at the $2 theater, if you're curious -- I realized that I was really enjoying myself. 
Old habits are like a bad penny, they keep turning up. Many people think that to lose weight or build fitness, they simply need to stop doing the things that keep them from reaching their goals. While that's true, it's not enough to just say you're going to stop reaching for donuts in the break room or stop eating entire bags of nacho chips while watching TV. Instead, you have to replace those bad habits with new ones..jpg)
When teen mom Xochitl Parra gave birth in the shower to the baby she'd been secretly carrying for nine months, she probably had no idea that her secret would soon be national news. 
The word isn't all that appetizing, really -- fermented. It sounds like something that happens to gym socks left in a locker over a long weekend. But fermented foods are packed with beneficial bacteria, known as probiotics, and can be a nutritious addition to a healthy diet.

As far as high quality proteins go, fish is a really good choice. It's low in saturated fat and helps you meet your quota of omega-3 fatty acids. But deciding which fish to eat, these days, is no easy task. Mercury, PCBs, pollution, overfishing -- these are all issues to consider when you choose a fish to put on your plate.
Back pain is no laughing matter. If you've ever suffered an acute episode of back pain, then you know how difficult it is to be mobile when your back is hurting. 
There is always room for an occasional treat in any healthy diet. (Occasional is a concept I have trouble with!) But though an occasional treat won't bust your good nutrition track record, if you're serious about lowering the amount of fat and calories you eat, you can tweak your favorite recipes to make them healthier.
Mangoes are one of my daughters' favorite fruits, but cutting them (the way I've been doing it, anyway) makes the whole process a huge, slippery ordeal.

I have a medicine cabinet full of bandages adorned with princesses, fairies, and even a yellow sponge man that lives under the sea. These colorful characters help my kids feel better when they fall down and hurt themselves. Soon, their tears dry up and they wear their bandage with pride.
Normally, I try to keep my kids' organized activities to one per season, but this spring, those activities will be overlapping for about a three week period. Suddenly, my older daughter is very close to being over-scheduled, something I try hard to avoid. She doesn't want to drop an activity, though, so we're going to make rest, good nutrition, and quiet time a priority so that she can power through.Continue reading Soccer snacks and other things I've learned this spring
