I agree wholeheartedly, JoJo! I had no idea what those little hearts were for until I asked someone and was told to do the same thing, but not tell anyone why. HUH? If you want to bring awareness to a cause, you speak and post about it, you don’t make these little innuendos and then, most of all. . . DON’T explain. I think the people who start these things really mean well, but they definitely miss the point. And boy, oh boy, did I see some dicey responses to those “I like it on the counter” type of posts! That may be bringing attention to breasts, but NOT breast cancer. As a cancer survivor, though not breast cancer, I admit to getting offended at this type of thing. I think it makes light of a very serious subject. Again, I think the organizers mean well, but I feel they’re going about it in the wrong way.

[…] How can I understand what I eat? I recently started exercising again after many years (and many kil…sing again after many years (and many kilos) do nothing. I train in a 60 mile walk for breast cancer and doing very well. I am in week 12 and lost 20 pounds, but I'm very tired – totally exhausted – a few days. I'm sure that has to do with what / how to eat. How can I understand that I'm supposed to be food? I do not have good habits to take advantage, and when I do the diet ", which just may work. I need to know how many calories you should eat to follow to lose weight, but also support my training and how should get those calories – protein, carbohydrates, etc. I can not go to a nutritionist, unfortunately. Anybody can recommend website, perhaps? Thanks for all these answers! I lost 20 pounds in 12 weeks, so I'm sure, do not lose too much too fast. I'll start adding more "natural" food my diet – with vegies and whole grain carbohydrates at the top. Thank you! If you go to a place like nutrifit.com you can get an account and calculate the information nutritional cost to see where it can be below – fiber, carbohydrates, vitamins, etc. Otherwise, I would eat as naturally as can be – fat healthy as olive oil, cereals and breads that are not elaborate, etc. Also, if you work frequently, you may need more carbs than you think. Work too – especially cardio as well – can make you tired. Breast Cancer and Fitness-Mayo Clinic […]
