After the long weekend, I've got plenty of updates for you to share.
It is always a balancing act to decide just how personal this blog should get. I have to apologize for missing some calls and appointments. All of us have been a little under the weather this week — this unfortunately led to a few visits to the emergency room. Because I make all of my assessment calls personally, there was no one to "fill in!" We're all fine now. My wife is still not feeling 100% but I'm looking forward to her getting some good rest and feeling better tomorrow. A few weeks ago, I shared our excitement at the news that Doreen is expecting. We were a little premature with the announcement as this was not the right time for us and it turned out to be a false start. We feel blessed and know that when and if the time is right, it will happen.
In case you missed it, don't. Check out Weight Loss: How Many Pounds and have a blast. Share it with your friends!
Let's kick off with more evidence that your supplements aren't always what they seem. Sometimes those mass-building pills have more to them than you expect. These athletes aren't concerned about the products they're taking, despite the checkered past of the man who founded the company. Blackhawks (Hockey) coach Trent Yawney isn't surprised about allegations that one-third of the NHL is taking performance-enhancing supplements ... he brushes it off as mere hype and speculation, citing the steroids wouldn't make sense for athletes seeking speed and flexibility. Maybe he's already consulted with the Speed Experts. The Virginia High School League just says, "No," to steroids. Apparently, Xavier said, "Yes."
For Sarah McFarlane, building muscle was just a happy side effect from a bigger cause. She walked 1,750km to raise awareness about mental illness.
The holidays aren't over yet, so don't let them weigh you down. From my own town of St. Petersburg, Florida comes this guide to battling holiday bulge. In Orlando, die-hard fitness fans exercise their right to indulge. So which workout works best? One article provides some tips for fitness gifts. Here are some more ideas (prices in US dollars):
You can also give gifts of fitness books and supplements, but I recommend something even more empowering. What about one of our inspirational posters or stretching guides?
The third point in this article on aging well is to take multivitamins. I agree. Read about their importance here. Don't take my word for the quality of the product that I link to ... check it out for yourself in the Comparative Guide to Nutritional Supplements.
Childhood obesity has tripled since 1980. Hopefully, they will attend one of these school programs that promote fitness for life. Of course, there are always the naysayers who ask, Are we really getting overweight? They must not visit the same public places that I do, or they'd say it's fairly obvious that overweight is an issue. However, is being overweight really a health issue? I believe so, but others aren't quite so certain. Being obese may interfere with the effectiveness of injected medicines, especially for women.
They told you, "The scale lies." But can getting on it help you lose weight? I find it to be a powerful and successful tool with my clients, but Renee says it lies.
Yet another "quick-fix" trend to cut fat: lipotherapy.
A writer questions whether stress makes you fat.
A high-carb diet may increase blood pressure in diabetics. Of course, it may also make the condition worse, since diabetes is a disease linked to blood sugar and insulin. Despite recent studies that indicate the Mediterranean Diet doesn't necessarily make a major impact on girth, some people still say it is the way to go. While it may not help shed pounds, it's apparently good for the heart.
Not sure why you don't like certain foods, and can't stop eating others? A new study says you can blame Mom for her diet influencing your tastes.
