1. MILK: Milk contains calcium and complex carbohydrates which can boost metabolism. This will keep insulin levels low, which prevents your body from thinking it needs to store fat.

2. GRAINS: Whole grains also help with weight loss. The fiber helps to boost metabolism and help you burn more calories. They also make you feel more full so you snack less often and they help to keep insulin levels low.

 

Hi Cecilia. 

I have degenerative joint disease and have slowly been replacing joints (two knee replacements and spinal fussion so I can relate to your pain.  I would love to have a walking buddy, right now I am recovering from my 2nd knee replacement...so maybe in the spring.  I know that the YMCA does give financial assistance..my sister and her family go to the YMCA in Oxford for free.  She was unemployed for 2 years and her new job doesn't pay as well as her previous job. I tried the YMCA on Kirkwood Ave...very nice place...but the heated pool was too cold for my joints.      

Also,you may be able to attend college for free or low cost to get new skills.  My sister did that also.  

Things will eventually turn around, the trick is to stay positive and to let it be known to everyone that you know that you are looking for a job.  Take care.  I will keep you and your wish list in prayer.
