Too Much of a Good Thing

Too Much Kindness can Kill Us

2014-02-11T12:21:00.000-08:00

We should extend kindness to others. However, doing this too much can kill us.

At some point, we have to realize the need to set boundaries. Otherwise, people will walk all over us.

We can’t people take advantage of our niceness. No one has to be a doormat!

Limit the amount of giving we do, as we need to take care of us. However, when we see a need, we can reach out to others.

Too Much Butter Tastes so Good

2014-02-07T11:44:00.000-08:00

Too much butter always tastes good. However, that indulgence can have serious consequences with every passing year.

I personally wish I hadn’t eaten so much of it growing up. It’s quite a bit harder to break poor eating habits after growing accustomed to certain ways of life.

On the other hand, I prefer butter over margarine whenever possible. At least it has some nutritional value. A pad or two once in a while on a piece of whole-grain English muffin wouldn’t hurt too much. However, I’m one of those people who has to monitor my saturated fat intake.

Too Much Muscle –Not Attractive at All

2014-02-04T11:25:00.000-08:00

This is my personal opinion. Too much muscle is not attractive at all. Some people might like it, but I don’t care for it at all.

As a female, I wouldn’t want to walk around with the kind of definition I would normally see on a man. No thank you! In fact, the picture I show to the left doesn’t look sexy to me at all, and it is from a man’s arm.

I also hear too much exercise can tear down the muscles, not build them. However, the right amount of physical activity per week helps keep the body in perfect shape.

We should take pride in our bodies, but we also should never overdo it. That’s my opinion, anyway.

Watch the Spinach Intake! Don’t Eat Too Much

2014-01-30T11:04:00.000-08:00

Those of us who like spinach put it in our salads with dressing and tomatoes and perhaps broccoli, carrots, and other colorful vegetables. After all, it is extremely healthy and provides quite a bit of necessary nutrients such as Vitamin K and Vitamin A, B, and C. Eating this dark green leaf will help with weight loss and cause use to feel good about our eating habits. However, too much of it is bad.

When an individual consumes large amounts of spinach, kidney stones develop. I don't know about you, but I don't know anyone who wants to pass a kidney stone. Talk about painful!

Keep track of the amount of of this food you eat in a day. Moderation is the key once again. We can’t have excess of anything in this lifetime.

Too Much Exercise is Not Good for You

2014-01-27T10:43:00.000-08:00

When you exercise, you probably feel relaxed afterward. It calms you down and keeps you in shape. However, it’s possible to have too much activity.

If you burn more energy than you consume in a day to the point where you starve your body, you probably are exercising way too much. You could actually classify as anorexic if you do it to the extreme.

Ideal Daily Exercise Limit

It’s different for everyone. However, an ideal exercise limit for most people would be between one to two hours per day. Try a combination of weight-lifting routines and cardiovascular machines for best results. You will build muscle and burn fat.

Too Much Eye Makeup

2014-01-23T10:25:00.000-08:00

While makeup can hide blemishes or puffy under-eye circles, or highlight the eyes and cheekbones, and add a hint of glamour to a daily look, too much makeup can be a bad thing. When you need to use a spackle knife to apply foundation, you’re using too much makeup!

Otherwise, people will think you look like a clown. Don’t overdo it, please! We don’t wanna look at you if you do that.

Well, okay. There is one exception. If you want to look like a clown for a children’s birthday party, we’re not stopping you. Have fun. Just be careful even in that instance. You don’t want to scare anyone!

Too Much Television

2014-01-21T10:03:00.000-08:00

Yes, there is such thing as too much television. Too much television can lead to you becoming a "couch potato."

This can cause you to become overweight. Why is this? Well, what goes better with watching too much television than eating too much food -- not just any food, but those fatty snack foods like chips and ice cream.

It’s interesting how excess of TV connects with excess of food. Isn’t it?

Too Much Free Time Can be Deadly!

2014-01-17T09:34:00.000-08:00

Did you ever hear about the curiosity that killed the cat? The feline species is not the only one who could suffer from the deadly poison of having too much free time.

You probably also have heard the saying that the “The idle hand is the devil’s workshop.” This little bit of wisdom is based on countless proverbs pertaining to laziness.

Stay busy, or you could get in trouble!

Quote from Guest Bloggers about Too Much Food

2014-01-15T09:20:00.001-08:00

We all know that too much of a good thing is just too much no matter what it is. We already posted a food entry over a year ago.

However, we updated it with this post to show you what our guest bloggers have to say about this. I would reveal their names, but I never had a chance to ask them if I could.

I found them in an anonymous writer’s pool online. Still, what they have to say is very insightful concerning food consumption today.

Too Much Healthy Food is No Good

Too Much Fast Food is No Good Either!

Too much time at the computer is not a good thing at all.

2013-09-22T04:04:00.001-07:00

Too much time at the computer is not a good thing at all. I've been up all day. I really couldn't help it. I really wanted to test out Hootsuite and now I have all my Blogger blogs connected to it.

This was time-consuming and worth it, but I suppose I should finally get some sleep. I can tell right now I need to get off this computer.

Consequences of Too Much Engine Oil

2011-11-07T01:10:00.000-08:00

Some cars are older and they burn too much oil. This is not good, because if you don't have enough oil in your car it could dry out and burn out. However, enough oil is enough already!

The huge problem with putting more oil in your care than it needs is the excess oil will not be processed correctly. The result is, it will turn into foamy froth and it will not be sent to the areas of your care that need lubrication. The end result is dryness anyway, which you wanted to avoid.

The Effect of Too Much Carbs

2011-11-06T23:31:00.000-08:00

Sometimes carbohydrates are treated as though they are just as evil as saturated fats. However, you also need to realize it is the carbs that give our body the energy it needs. The problem may not necessarily be in the carbohydrate consumption but in the fact that we may eat too much of it for the amount of exercise we do.

If we eat more carbohydrates than we burn we will gain weight. The reason why is unused energy is turned into fat which is stored on our bodies.

Way, Way, Too Much Cleavage! Or Is it?

2011-11-05T23:05:00.000-07:00

This is slightly controversial. Some people are not sure at what limit they should stop showing cleavage. This is to be debated, but I think we all know the difference between “PG-13,” “R,” and “XXX” rated right? You should dress according to what movie rating you want to advocate.

Too Much Shopping is NOT Retail Therapy!

2011-11-04T23:28:00.000-07:00

It is necessary to go to the store and buy the break, milk, eggs and groceries you need for your family. Furthermore, unless it becomes no longer against the law to walk around naked you are also going to need to go clothes shopping once in awhile.

Even the make-up, cosmetics, and skin care products you buy is essential to an extent. However, whether you shop online or offline it can get quite expensive. You have to spend within your means or you may lose all you have and never be able to shop again.

Too Much Information is just Not Good at All!

2011-11-03T22:29:00.000-07:00

Of course, most of us nowadays know about the initials “TMI” that stands for “too much information.” Sometimes people need to learn discretion when they talk. We don't need to hear about every single wrongful criminal act you committed and we don't want to know necessarily what your significant other and you do in bed. We also really don't want to know about your bowel problems or your hemorrhoids unless we can help you treat it.

Too Much Eating

2011-11-02T22:33:00.000-07:00

Eating is a necessary fact of life. Although we can live without food longer than we can water, our body needs it. However, oftentimes we eat way more than we should and way more than our body can even process in one day.

It is better to commit to the amount of calories, fat, carbs, dairy, sugar, and salt, perosnally recommended for us. Otherwise, we could end up with high blood pressure, cancer, heart problems, and more. Eating too much of the wrong foods can also cause a breakdown in our immune system.

Can you Have Too Much Quiet?

2011-11-01T22:26:00.000-07:00

We all know that there is something to be said for peace and quiet. Sometimes we have to fight someone off just to get a little bit of it. Parents will make their children go to bed early sometimes just so they can relish in the silence.

However, too much quiet is also not good. For one thing, did you ever hear people say about their kids that as long as you they know the children are making noise everything is okay? Noise has a purpose and it alerts us of danger sometimes, so it cannot be quiet all the time.

Furthermore, people who spend too much time along in the darkness and silence often become the most lonely people of the world. We need to socialize and get some sunshine. We cannot just stay in the house all day.

Work has its Purpose, but not Too Much of it!

2011-10-30T21:43:00.000-07:00

Work is a positive action, and I myself love to work. I personally think it gives live meaning, to know I can work for someone and make a difference in the world in a small way.

However, we all need rest and we cannot just take life too seriously all the time. Too much work can lead to excess anxiety, distress, and depression. You actually can become mentally imbalanced if you are not a person prone to having fun.

You have to learn to live a little once in awhile. Also, if you notice you have been increasingly irritable, unable to sleep, not able to concentrate at work, it may be time for a break. It may be time for a vacation.

Sleep is Good, but Too Much is a Bad Thing

2011-10-29T21:40:00.000-07:00

Sleep is very important to the body. At night time you need to sleep to help recuperate for the next day. We could never function if we never slept at all. However, too much sleep is not a good thing either.

Sleeping too often can make you depressed. It also can decrease your energy level, and excess rest can make a person lazy and unmotivated. It also can shorten your life span and cause a condition called “sleep drunkenness.”

We should be Frugal, but Within Reason!

2011-10-28T22:17:00.000-07:00

Almost everyone probably could use a little bit more budgeting help. Maybe we spend too much on single cans of soda or we buy too much beer. Either that or maybe we eat out too often instead of cooking at home. Then, there is the credit cards that we art tempted to max out every time we see a new shirt or new pair of shoes.

We should not overspend. However, the opposite is true as well. We should not hoard all of our money. There is something in the power of giving, in that what we give to others always comes back to us. Therefore, try to loosen up a little bit. Also, keep in mind although we don't need to spend too much money to have a good time we could stand to allow ourselves a little bit more entertainment once in awhile.

Another Aspect of Too Much Frugality: Sometimes we get what we pay for! If we try to save money always buying cheap items that break we may end up spending more in the long run. There may be return policies, but that even costs our time. Sometimes we have to consider what is more worth it-our money or our time?

Too Much Television

2011-10-27T22:36:00.000-07:00

I am not sure of all the rumors I hear about television “rotting your brain” are true. However, as enriching and as educational as certain programs can be, too much of it is not healthy. Furthermore, if you need to watch a sitcom, reality show, or concert or two aired on television once in awhile that is find. Some people also like watching history, science, and documentary channels.

However, you cannot get too wrapped up in it to the point that you do not even live your own life. You have to find something else to do besides sit in the couch, chair, or bed all day watching TV. For one, you can get a job.

Be Careful! Too Much Protein is not a Good Thing!

2011-10-26T23:22:00.000-07:00

This is one of the essential categories of foods that our body needs. Protein comes in both plant and animal forms such as in red beef, legumes, rice, cheese, or soy. Many foods have a variety of amino acids and other types of protein building blocks that are healthy for our body.

However, too much protein can cause cause undo bodily stress, especially on the liver. It also is not as effective as you may think to consume more than 30% of your total diet in protein. A rough calculation to use is about .36 grams of protein for every ounce of body weight.

Note: I am just a writer not a doctor or nurse or other trained medical professional. If you have any concerns at all about your diet you should see someone who is properly trained to deal with the situation. I only report what I hear.

Too Much Hair is just Gross!

2011-10-25T23:03:00.000-07:00

Some hair is good, especially...down there. (I see your eyes traveling down. You know what I am talking about.) If you need to have a little bit of your natural hair present, by all means I do not object. I myself like to have a little patch so that I don't feel like a little girl.

However, it is not just about the hair in the private area. Too much hair on the top of the head can also be bad. Where ever you have the most hair (either on your head or in your personal area) it should always be groomed well. After all, you never know where you will land a job!

Oh, and I did almost forget to mention underarm hair. That just has to go! I can't stand but maybe a few strands of it even on myself.

Why Too Much Joking is Bad

2011-10-24T23:14:00.000-07:00

We all need a good laugh once in awhile. However, if you joke around too much no one will ever take you seriously when you are trying to be serious. Try to keep the joking to times when it is appropriate and do not play too many pranks. Otherwise, you may not get help when you need it!

Too much Lipstick

2011-10-23T00:57:00.000-07:00

Some people should wear more of it, I think. However too much lipstick can also be a problem. I used to hear people making comments about women-especially the ones who would wear a copious amount of bright fire engine red lipstick. I think only Madonna can get away with that.

Oh, and I didn't even get into the fact that some people wear their Halloween makeup every single day. The black lipstick with the white face, for instance, was popular when I was in high school. Some people should have grown out of that phase by now.
