Article: If you have two or more on the list below, it is best to see your doctor for further evaluation. Common signs and symptoms of both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes include:  Excessive thirst Excessive hunger Blurry vision Frequent urination (you wake 3 or more times in the night to urinate) Fatigue (particularly after eating) Feeling irritable Wounds that don't heal or heal slowly People who live a sedentary life (with little to no exercise) are at a heightened risk of Type 2 diabetes. People who are overweight or obese, or who eat more sweets and refined carbohydrates than is ideal are also at significantly higher risk of developing Type 2 diabetes. Note that Type 2 diabetes is acquired in one's life, most often related to poor lifestyle choices, versus Type 1 diabetes which is a condition that most often presents in childhood in which the pancreas simply cannot make use of insulin due to lack of beta cells. The only way to truly confirm whether or not you have diabetes is to see your doctor for diagnostic testing (in the form of blood tests). The numbers that come back on your blood tests will help to classify you as "normal," "pre-diabetic" (meaning you are at very high risk of soon developing diabetes if you do not make some dramatic lifestyle changes), or "diabetic."  It is best to know sooner rather than later whether or not you have the disease, because if you do, prompt treatment is key. The damage that results to your body as a result of diabetes is mostly long-term damage resulting from "uncontrolled blood sugars." What this means is that, if you receive treatment that helps to control your blood sugars, you can avert or at least "push off" (delay) many of the long-term health consequences of diabetes. It is for this reason that prompt diagnosis and treatment are key.

Article: Setting regular goals for yourself can help keep you motivated to exercise.  It can help you have something to work towards. Make sure your goals are SMART goals: Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time-bound. For instance, "I want to lose four pounds by the end of the month," or "I want to run the city half-marathon next year."  Write down your goals for yourself.  You might want to journal about them or post them on your refrigerator. Let your friends and family that care about you know about your goals. When you share what you’re doing, you’re more likely to want to follow through. Set both short and long-term goals.  This will help keep you motivated over longer period of time.  Plus, meeting a variety of shorter goals along the way can be fun and exciting. Some examples of goals include:  running your first 5k, getting in 10,000 steps each day for a week straight, being physically active everyday for a month or run a mile without stopping. If you're not sure where to start or just want some guidance on how to meet your goals, consider working with a personal trainer. Many gyms offer a free session with one of their trainers when you sign up. She can guide you with proper form and tell you what exercises to do to accomplish your fitness goals. A personal trainer also serves as an accountability partner. No matter how much you love exercise or how motivated you are, there will be the occasional day where you're too busy or too tired to fit in your typical workout.  The occasional missed workout (or two or three) is not a big deal.  Allow yourself to slip up and fall out of your typical routine.  Focus on the benefits of that missed day.  Maybe you got a much needed extra hour of sleep or got to spend more time with your family. Try not to feel guilty or beat yourself up for getting off track. It's OK to slip up and miss your workouts.  When you can, get back into your routine.

Set goals. Make an appointment a personal trainer. Be OK with the occasional missed work out.
Article: Once your bun is finished, you can tackle the bottom section of hair. You certainly don’t need to use a curling iron or a straightener on the bottom section, but you can if you want. Skipping the hot tools is the easiest option, and rocking your hair au natural. The great thing about this look is that it is messy and carefree, so it doesn’t require meticulously curled or straightened hair. Use a comb or brush to tease the underside of this hair at the root. This will add volume to this section, so that it doesn’t hang limply. Since you added volume and texture to the top section, you want to make sure the bottom section has it as well. Once your top knot is perfected and your hair is styled, secure it in place. Spray your favorite hairspray, focusing on the actual top knot. Don’t spray much on the hair left down, because you want that hair to look soft and touchable. Use a handheld mirror to double check that everything looks good from the back, and enjoy all of the compliments you’re sure to get on your half up top knot!
