New Years Resolution
01-01-2008 11:54 am

First of all Happy New Year to all. Update to my lose 10 pounds in a month: I made it, I reached the goal I set out to make. Oh what a wonderful feeling. Making your weight loss goals gives you a sense of self satisfaction. Any achieved goal will do that yet when it comes to your health there is added fulfillment.

When it comes to weight loss any improvement is well worth it. Consider this, research shows being overweight can lead to heart disease, osteoporosis, diabetes, or arthritis. Studies show proper nutrition and healthy weight loss can slow down or even prevent these ailments. Even a 10% weight loss can significantly reduce the risk of these health related problems.

Successful weight loss involves taking actions in proper ways that need to be perfectly planned in order to bring satisfying results. Here are the four key elements you will need for making your weight loss plan a success.

• Set a coal - Know what you want to accomplish.
• Be Definite - State your goal distinctly.
• Be Realistic - Goals need to be sensible and
• Strategize - Schedule activities throughout the day.

Many people will make their new years resolution to be "lose more weight this year". If this is you, be sure to set a goal that you can reach easily. If your goal is too difficult to reach you run the risk of a huge disappointment. If your goal is to easy you won't be satisfied with it. Try setting your weight loss goals one at a time. Once you reach your first goal set another goal. Keep a record of your goals and refer to it often.

Early morning Saturday 1 week ago. The day started like no other. Everything was ready to go. The sun still wasn't over the horizon yet. The day would prove to be both long and short. The end was in site but round and round we went. Can you guess what we were doing? It starts with a friendly gathering to go over the rules. Friends meet friends with bluster and bravado. We all learn the way and the path to glory. Then its work and play all the live long day. At the end we all have to weigh in. Some are heavy and a few are light but most are ideally built. Any clues yet what I'm talking about? We are athletes or so some say. From all over and every walk of life we come to meet the challenge. Our goal is to be there at the end. We twist and we turn never going very far. We stop where we start with miles in between. For one there is fame and for the rest there is shame. If you guessed right you'd say we were race car drivers. The point to this prose is to show passion. Probably the biggest motivation there is to losing weight is passion. With motivation to accomplish something we can do just about anything. Let's take motor-racing for example. Nearly all forms of motor racing have a minimum car and driver weight. Obviously the closer you are to the minimum weight without going under it is a huge advantage. One of the best ways to meet this weight is to want to win badly enough to lose personal body fat. Wanting to burn fat usually isn't enough by itself. A person with a passion will do better at losing weight that one without it. If you don't have passion --- get some! Take up a hobby or sport that requires physical exercise. Like motor racing or bicycle riding or mountain climbing even speed walking. Then set yourself some goals like winning the race or summiting or running a 5 minute mile. Go the extra mile to accomplish your goals. The best fat burner is you... Click Here

40 pounds lighter and a checkered flag!

(recently added comment to content 2.0 page)

You guessed it. This year I finished my race at Daytona. Having lost 40 pounds made all the difference. Instead of running out of gas I saw the checkered flag.

So yes the the weight loss program paid off. Thank You Herbalife, I could not have done it without you (yeah right). But instead I used the ShapeWorks programs to lose over 40 pounds and keep it off.

The moral of this story is: Motivation to accomplish something is THE most important ingredient for success. My motivation to finish a race at Daytona lead me change my lifestyle and lose a lot of excess weight.

I am doubly pleased by this success. Not only did I finish my race, but the car was 3 seconds a lap faster, with the same motor.

Recommendation: Get motivated. If you have a reason to improve your lifestyle you are more likely to succeed at it. If you aren't motivated yet, find a reason. It can be easy to find a reason. Just ask yourself this "am I satisfied with my current lifestyle"?

If the answer is no, then ask yourself this "where do I want to be 1 year from now"? Then ask yourself "what lifestyle changes can I make to reach that goal?"

Then - in 1 year ask yourself this "Did I reach that goal I set 1 year ago or not"? If the answer to this is "yes" then it's:

Update: Yeah! Hooray! and Fantastic!

Moms the world over are telling us to "eat your vegetables, they are good for you". Even though many vegetables are just not appealing to the palette. Herbs on the other hand are used in many fine recipes as a taste enhancer and are healthy for you too.

Taking herbs daily is a great way to help your body heal itself naturally, and keep it functioning in a healthy and happy manner. Let's take a look at a few good reasons to use herbs and herbal remedies on a daily basis.

Responsible Health Care. Perhaps the most important reason to use herbs daily is to take control of your own health and well being. Herbal remedies have been around for centuries and have been called the "people's medicine". It can be as simple as growing your own plants in pots or gardens. Herbs can safely and effectively be used daily in a variety of different ways from teas and tinctures to cooking, bathing and even applying directly to the skin for direct absorption.

Heart Disease and Cancer. The leading cause of death in men and women, heart disease can be counter-acted with cardiovascular-protective herbs as well as immune boosting herbal remedies. One out of 3 Americans develops some form of cancer in their lifetime. Again, herbs that improve the immune system can help avoid the formation of cancer cells and remove them from the body. Some of the same immune system building herbs listed above can be used as daily cancer protectants... Click Here

Water also helps to maintain proper muscle tone by giving back the muscles’ natural ability to contract and by preventing dehydration. It helps prevent sagging skin that often accompanies weight loss. Shrinking cells are plumped up by H2O and the complexion appears clear, healthy and radiant.

Water flushes waste from the body - a particularly important function when losing weight as there are toxins being released from the fat cells—and eliminates problems with constipation.

So to sum up, getting enough fluid is critical because... Click Here

Dan was a computer programmer with a nice office job. He would religously pound away on the keyboard all day (and sometimes night). A friendly fellow Dan is. Always willing to help, never confrontational with anyone and always on time. Everybody liked him. "Hi Dan" they would say "how are your hands today?"

This greeting people used because Dan was very critical of his hands. He rarely shook them with anyone. He never lifted anything heavy, or abused them in any way. Dan always wore gloves when it was the slightest bit cold. And Dan applied copious amounts of hand cream 3 times a day.

Wierd you may think, a geek that uses hand cream a lot. You see Dan has very dry skin, which irritates him to no end. So I asked him what was up with the hand cream all the time. He replied "my skin itches so much from this dry air that I can't stand it. I need my hands to do my job. Sometimes my skin gets so tight I can't think of anything else. Hand cream is the only thing that helps."

Cool I thought, hand cream as a productivity enhancer, but there you have it. So what is it that is in the hand cream? Aloe Vera extract is the main ingredient. Aloe has long been known to have soothing and healing properties for the skin. As a matter of fact Aloe contains 27 natural and beneficial substances including, vitamins, minerals, enzymes and amino acids... Click Here

French researchers studied the benefits of eating soup before a meal and found that when participants were given a broth with strained vegetables and water, they weren’t as hungry for their entrée. Each bowl of soup was roughly 95 calories and it dramatically reduced the amount of calories ingested during the meal.

Creamy chicken soup contains nutrients, minerals and vegetables - such as, Calcium, Iron, corn, onion and soy protein. Which helps to ensure proper nutrient intake while dieting, and tastes good too!

Key benefits - It would take a whole page to list all the benefits I found while researching (and using) this healthy snack. So... Here is the short list of key benefits:

• Maintains regular heart beat*
• Enhances growth and repair of the body's tissues.*
• Reduces cholesterol and triglyceride levels.*
• Increases resistance to stress and disease.*

* These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA and are not intended to diagnose, cure or prevent illness.
