What an exciting weekend!
My daughter had her picture day on Friday. On Saturday, Doreen was in the office so Alyssa and I spent the morning together. We picked up some supplies for the office, a wireless connection for her computer so that she can connect to the Internet, and then I surprised her. When we moved from South Dakota, she had a goldfish. She took great care of the goldfish and had owned it for over a year. The fish made it all the way down to Florida, but then apparently the heat got the better of it and it died. Doreen and I told each other once we had our own place, we'd surprise Alyssa with a new pet to take care of. This time? A turtle.
We picked up her turtle over the weekend along with the tank, filter, food, heat lamp, and all of the other fun supplies that turtles require. She was very excited. I think the turtle's name changed about three times over the weekend, but it appears to have settled as "Sonny."
I also had a productive weekend with the business. I organized most of my office (still need to go through some documentation) and worked on three products. One product already exists: Healthy for the Holidays. I currently have been shipping and fulfilling this, but sent over the source files for my fulfillment company in Atlanta to begin managing it. The second product is the four-part teleseminar that I conducted called "Amazing Fat Loss Secrets." I've shipped the disc and box art along with the source audio files to release it as a 4-CD set. Finally, I've begun work on Lose Fat, Not Faith II: Recipes for Success. This companion book to Lose Fat, Not Faith will contain success stories, healthy recipes, and specific workout routines.
The book will not be released for several months. The other products should be available within the next few weeks. Once they are ready, I'll create an option to purchase my entire library — Lose Fat, Not Faith Paperback, Lose Fat, Not Faith 5-CD Audio Program, Healthy for the Holidays 2-CD Set, 10 Fat Mistakes Single CD, and Amazing Fat Loss Secrets 4-CD Set — at a significant discount.
We went to the beach yesterday. I have been going for several weeks and applying the same sunscreen. Apparently either playing with my daughter rubbed it off or I didn't apply it well, because my back is now burned from my waistline up to my neck. It is very interesting, however ... I've been burned a few times in the past, and was always in pain and miserable. This time, despite it being a fairly solid burn (hey, I was on my stomach on a towel for a good hour in the middle of the day, thinking my back was fully protected) it doesn't hurt! In fact, it already looks better today than it did last night. I've never "handled" a burn so well. I wonder how much has to do with my newer, healthy lifestyle, and how much has to do with my positive mindset, and how much is just coincidence? Interesting!
I'm very excited because Thursday my wife and I fly to Los Angeles, California to visit my business coach, Jeffery Combs. It will be an exciting and abundant weekend. I will also meet a few of my clients. One couple that I am coaching and who has lost a few dozen pounds will be there, along with my good friend and client Ed Orlowski. I also have a client who lives in the Pacific Palisades that I might meet at the Venice Beach gym. She trains with a few "classic bodybuilders" and it will be an exciting opportunity to meet some legends!
Before I dive into today's news, it's time for me to go on a jog and do some push-ups for my program. I'm using the workout generated by my own online workout generator. I'll give you an update when I get back from the run ...
... whew, what a run it was! You'd think 20 minutes would be a walk in the park, considering I'd finished a half marathon just a few months ago. However, in the hot sun and with half the run on the beach, it was a challenge. Many people don't enjoy beach running. It takes a certain skill with picking up your feet more and definitely works the calves a bit extra. I personally love it because the last thing I want is to pound the pavement. Give me trails or beach sand any day! The beach was beautiful this morning.
I came back and did a few sets of push-ups mixed with stretching. That's it for today. Tomorrow I don't have a workout scheduled, but I intend to listen to Holosynch™ while I ride the recumbent bike.
I believe the best way to begin this week is to ask that you make your health a priority. Isn't that a great article?
There are too many "systems" of training to list. I will be sharing quite a few training routines and techniques in my upcoming sequel to Lose Fat, Not Faith. In the meantime, I recommend The Men's Health Book of Muscle for a rolodex of routines. One system that has been popular for years is the SuperSlow method, as mentioned in this article about a woman who dropped 12 inches.
As a Sports Performance Nutritionist I always find it interesting to see how the media chooses to portray sports supplements. Most are like this article and lump them all together, grouping protein powder and multivitamins as if you could compare thyme and chicken breast as competing food sources. I especially enjoy the comments about creatine because apparently "the effects of their long-term use remain unknown." How long is long-term? This supplement has been studied for 15 years ... how long do we need? Then there's the wrestling coach who tells us to "do it naturally." It's tough to find a food item in the store these days that doesn't have at least one or two ingredients that require a profiency with Latin to understand. What is natural?
If you like to golf you'll be happy to read about losing weight on links. If you would like some free dietary advice from registered dieticians, check out this article about a service from the American Institute for Cancer Research.
What's the best diet to go on? How about the non-diet diet as we teach on the Lose Fat, Not Faith Audio Program? Of course, diet describes the way you eat, and you probably will have to change this to enjoy success, but it doesn't have to be as strict or drastic as many people recommend. Here's another opinion on the no-diet diet.
How about fitness to avoid ... dementia? Perhaps that is a good selling point for these buildings that improve your fitness.
Did you know part of aging has to do with the bones in your face shrinking? Very interesting. In Canada, concerns abound with the potential acceptance of overweight women by using "real women in ads." It's a complex topic balanced between health and stereotypes or even discrimination. Where do we draw the line? It seems we shouldn't accept obese or overweight women unless we are also willing to accept underweight models as well because both share similar health risks due to their condition.
You've heard about all of the crazy fat-burners on the market. The next contender appears to be the blue agave plant (better known for the source of tequila) ... apparently, juice extracted from this plant can help dieters shed pounds and cut cholesterol. Miracle plant, or special advertising section for the Mexican economy?
With so much hype about losing weight on a vegetarian diet, Newsweek cautions us to look at the bigger picture.
I'm getting over a cold that I fought with a positive mental attitude and proper nutrition. Apparently, I'm not alone in using and believing in this technique.
Wow, we are really being inundated with news about obesity! From claims that after-school snacks lead to obesity to warning labels on jeans (yes, I'm serious — check out the picture!). It's a worldwide phenomenon ... here's an article about Nigerian women and obesity. This article declares, "Obesity goes global."
Of course, the solution isn't going to be a new weight loss system, special training routine, government program or plant. The solution really begins with you. Are you doing everything you possibly can to live healthy? If so, you are part of the solution. People will see your example and you will impact more lives than you may be giving yourself credit for. You can always take those extra steps to share your knowledge with friends, families, and co-workers in need of assistance. Point them to websites, share your favorite books, exchange recipes, and do anything you can to make a difference. There are millions of people today who are obese. Personally, you might only impact a dozen individuals. But when those dozen impact a dozen each ... well, you get the picture. It starts with you, and what difference you choose to make.
Blessed be,
