Health and Diet
Ban the buffet. Buffets can make you feel like you just have to have a little bit of the quiche, the roast beef, the pasta salad, the chicken, the crab legs, the cherries jubilee, the cornbread, the chocolate mousse, etc. Aside from the inevitable stomachache, "tasting" each is also overeating. Limit yourself to three items or get out of line.
Fitness
You should always be able to catch your breath and speak comfortably while exercising. While it is normal to sense effort, and maybe even discomfort, you should never sense pain. Learn to use a Rating of Perceived Exertion Scale. Always remember to warm up slowly and cool down gradually. If you use a trainer, be sure to check credentials. The exercise industry is not well regulated, so be sure to ask questions and seek certified individuals.
