Week 10: Statistics

I guess eating too man sweets could contribute to obesity. Here are the statistics:
  • 58 Million Overweight; 40 Million Obese; 3 Million morbidly Obese
  • Eight out of 10 over 25's Overweight
  • 78% of American's not meeting basic activity level recommendations
  • 25% completely Sedentary
  • 76% increase in Type II diabetes in adults 30-40 yrs old since 199
This week I really haven't eaten many sweets. I've been really stressed with exams, homework, papers so I haven't had a lot of time to go treat myself to sweets and I'm going to vegas this weekend too so I've been cutting down. I feel like I've been drinking more chai tea lattes, I think that has been my replacement.

    Bleh, these statistics are a downer! I try to ignore them while I'm scarfing down cupcakes (only on my birthday, I swear!). And good call on the chai tea lattes, those are fabulous.
