We'll cover mega millions and Laguna Beach in the weekly e-Zine, at the bottom of this post ...
Yesterday, I had a great workout. Pounded some 70 pound dumbbells, doing a set of bench pressing exercises. Today, I blast my arms. I can hardly wait! Er, yes I can.
We named our company Golden Summit because that is what the tract of land our South Dakota home was situated on (the "Golden Summit Lode") - in that area, most properties are described with relation to gold mines or lodes (areas where the gold is concentrated).
I found this article to be quite interesting, however, about someone in their Golden years reaching the Summit.
Over at WebMD there is an article about how maintaining weight loss gets easier with time. That's good news for those of us who can gain quite easily if we don't stay in control.
I mentioned osteoarthritis the other day, but didn't realize that one in three adults suffer from arthritis. The article discusses the role that exercise plays. I also have heard positive feedback from many clients who consistently take a pharmaceutical grade multivitamin and grapeseed extract.
By the way, that link takes you to the company that I partner with. There is a good reason I chose that company, because the founder's vision is one that I am proud to be a part of. This literally was my key to breaking out of the corporate world and stepping down from my job as Director of IT after 10 years in the industry to pursue a career in health and wellness. If this is something you are looking for, or perhaps you just want to earn some extra income to cover the cost of your quality multivitamins, then you can learn more here.
After all the excitement about the pros of weight loss camps last week, this article comes along to mention some of the cons. One of the major cons? "Kids may resent being shipped off to camp." I doubt these kids from Wales would, because they "jump at healthy learning."
Oh, wait, is there more news about camps?
Here's a weight loss class that teaches students to make small changes. I agree ... so many people jump into it without really taking the time to transform from the inside.
Apparently, Nicolas Cage doesn't believe in making small changes. His friends are worried the movie star is getting too thin.
Wait until you see his nutrition plan.
Apparently, bizarre nutrition is popular in Hollywood. Just read what this gossip column has to say about Christina Aguilara. Oh, wait, did I say gossip? Never mind, take the last two links with a grain of salt. Er, organic sea salt.
Here's more from the "healthy food doesn't have to boring" arena.
Oh, and you won't believe this. When college students were actually able to learn what was in their foods by being able to read nutrition facts, they actually made healthier choices. Now why would that be?
So when is it okay to gain weight? When that weight is muscle, of course. Are we STILL using the BMI?
When you think of fitness, do you think of heavily muscled bodies on Miami Beach or slim rollerbladers in Los Angeles? Apparently, one place where people exercise more than most of the country is ... New Hampshire! Can anyone from New Hampshire verify this for us? Grin.
Have you been told to skip the Vitamin D in your supplements and get more sun instead? Apparently, in sunny Austrlia ("the sunburnt country") there are concerns about vitamin D deficiency emerging as a public health issue. Perhaps they should be taking vitamins, too? (Good news: the company that I partner with has DCs in Australia and distributes them locally, so there is no need to pay the enormous costs of shipping from the U.S.).
In New Mexico, 33 schools share $1.4 million to slim down students in response to "rocketing child obesity rates."
One of my coaching clients has a great way she loves to exercise, that is easy on the joints: a trampoline! She has a lot of fun both walking her dog, chasing her grandchildren, and bouncing on the trampoline. She'll be happy to know that this is a great way to exercise, according to experts, er, wait, no, the people selling the trampolines. Shucks, it's just a press release!
More media coverage for Fat Man Walking ... here's the direct link for you.
Here is this week's e-Zine (you can subscribe at the main site):
Apparently, "Mega Millions" is a popular search on Google. So is "Laguna Beach," a popular show on MTV.
Of course, this comes as no surprise. As an overweight nation, most people would rather win their millions than earn them, and then sit in front of the television to watch teenagers go wild on vacation while they wait for their random numbers to get pulled.
They call it "luck."
If you want an interesting hobby, do a search on the Internet for the stories and biographies of previous lottery winners.
You'll find out that most of them lose it all. Every cent. Some end up in a worse situation than when they started, with debt payments higher than their usual income.
That's not the only place you'll find this interesting mechanism at work ... your body is in a constant state called homeostasis, literally, "keeping things the same."
This is why if you eat low calories for a period of time, your metabolism slows down.
It's a natural occurrence, not the horrific "starvation mode" people fear ... it's just that the body likes where it's at, thank you very much.
So what do lottery winners and waist trimmers have in common?
Some people don't like to hear this, but I want to give it to you straight:
The change must come WITHIN.
The reason why most people can't hang onto money is because they're no different than when they were broke. They have a broke mindset. They're used to blaming everyone but themselves for their situation, and so once they receive the money, their subconscious mind goes to work at trying to get rid of it so their situation matches their mindset.
We truly are masters of our own reality.
With the popularity of gastric bypass surgery, we are starting to see this happen as well.
Even with restricted stomachs, people who have poor nutrition habits simply switch from donuts to donut holes and full pizzas to lunchables. They are still malnourished, and still getting empty calories. Their metabolism grinds to a halt and they start gaining weight again.
You see, it's not about the destination. It can't be. The destination is just a place, a moment, a blink of your eye.
It's the PROCESS that gives you the tools to earn your right to STAY on the path. It's the journey that provides the gift.
No magic bullet can give you the joy of running your half marathon.
No quick-fix supplement is going to replace the feeling of pure joy and empowerment when you bench press your body weight for the first time.
No lottery ticket is going to teach you how to manage your money.
So, you can decide to play your tickets and watch the television, or decide instead to get into the game and slide into the driver's seat.
Do you realize just how powerful you really are?
See, most people would like to follow a diet.
It's easy. No responsibility. Give up control and follow the rules. If it doesn't work out, blame the diet.
Finding balance means taking responsibility, and realizing that consciousness commands matter.
What?
That's right. Yesterday, I received a book that I knew I must read. You see, when I flew down to Texas to train my client, Joe Vitale, author of the Attractor Factor:
The Attractor Factor
Joe mentioned that I had to read this book.
By the way, you can watch me train Joe here. It's a long link, so if it wraps in your e-mail, you'll want to be sure you cut and paste the entire thing.
Joe Training
Later that weekend, I met a friend of Joe's.
This is someone who is highly successful doing business over the Internet. Someone I enjoyed meeting and who I respect. Without having a clue of what Joe had mentioned to me, this man told me ... "You have to read this book."
Twice in one day? I was scratching my head, because I had NEVER heard of this book before.
When a third person mentioned it that evening, that was the kicker.
I was excited to find it had arrived yesterday.
I tore it open.
And I read it cover to cover ... I could not fall asleep without finishing it.
If you have an open mind and accept the possibility that you have more responsibility over your life than you may be allowing ... that your thoughts can create your reality, whether it is the reality of good health, of a trim physique, a successful career, or whatever else you desire, then you definitely want this book on your shelf:
How Consciousness Commands Matter
by Dr. Larry Farwell
Get it here
This is really why I chose the title for my own book, "Lose Fat, Not Faith" because the faith component is what is so powerful.
How can you take command right now? There are a few steps.
1. You can start becoming aware of your thoughts. That's it ... just start to listen to the words you speak to yourself in your mind.
2. You can stop yourself when you think those thoughts that don't serve you. I can't .. I won't ... I shouldn't ... what will they think, it's not possible ... all of these can be replaced.
3. You can start to plant powerful thoughts that will take you closer to your goals. I will ... not I'll try, but I will ... I am focused ... I am confident ... I can do this ... I will do this ...
The first day of our workshops are focused on this concept: the power of the mind. I use activities that will prove to you beyond a doubt that you are in control and have the power to transform even your own core beliefs.
We are visiting Orlando and Chicago this year, so you'll want to reserve your one slot out of 20 as soon as possible here:
Seminars
Remember, too, that Jon Benson's program focuses on power from within, which is why I advocate it even when I have similar products of my own. There are only a few hours left for his offer over at:
M-Power special
Have a blessed weekend, and remember what Jim Rohn has to share ... the same wind blows on us all, it's how we set the sail that determines the destination.
How is your sail set?
