Fishy Math (video)

Wednesday, March 17th, 2010

filet Math.  Always fun (not).

Math was never my strongest subject (although I was ok).  Actually from about 8th grade on I copied all much some of the homework from a guy in my class who went on to be a math teacher.

That goes to shows I can really spot talent :)

The funny thing was I always scored higher than him on the tests (on which I DID NOT cheat.)

 

But I digest…

Fish oil is a wonderful thing.  But most of you are not taking near enough.

More Pants Lie

Friday, March 12th, 2010

I go a huge response from article I wrote for the last newsletter entitled Pants Lie. So I thought I’s share with you some of the things I learned.

calvin klein One of my good friends is a marketing guru, and at some point had a meeting with a high level marketing person with Calvin Klein. They got to talking and she went on to tell how today’s size 2 is actually a size 4 from the 80’s. And as the sizes get bigger the gap gets larger. Example: today’s size 12 is a size 16 from the 80’s and the same applies for men.

Hard Questions

Thursday, March 4th, 2010

why

 

You’d think with that title I’d come back with something like  “That’s what she said”, but no, not today.  (although it does make me snicker a bit)

I am taking these post directly from my friend Turbulence Training guru Craig Ballantyne, who recently posted these questions that really got me thinking. Maybe they will get you thinking too…

 

 

  • Why do you continue to make short term decisions that ruin your chances of long-term success?
  • Why do you continue to eat junk when you want to lose fat?

Quite Quotable

Thursday, February 11th, 2010
Eintein-insanity
Kinda like walking on a treadmill :)

Most of the time, when I get quoted it comes back and bites me in the ass.

Things like:  “I’ll have the house clean by the time you get back”

or

“Sure, I’ll keep an eye on the boys boys – no problem.”

Yeah, sometimes being quoted sucks.

But there are others much more profound than myself who are actually worth quoting.

Quotes can serve to inspire and motivate.  To make you move out of your comfort zone and into a personal success zone.

Die on a Treadmill?

Sunday, January 17th, 2010

I just saw this video clip and instantly thought of you guys.  It is from an interview Will Smith did while promoting the movie “I am Legend”.

In this clip Will talks has several inspirational points, but the one about the treadmill really caught my attention.  It speaks to the importance of “Mind Set” and believing in oneself.

Die on a treadmill?  Well, sorta.

To find out what he means you must watch the video.

(The whole video is good, but you can fast forward to 4:15 to get to the treadmill part)

I Screwed Up (yet again)

Tuesday, January 12th, 2010

Well I’ve done it again.

Due to a few extenuating circumstances (not the least of which was me co-coordinating my own schedule – I should never be in charge of that) I have had to postpone the start of the 6 Week Body Transformation Program.

isu_i_screwed_up_tshirt-p235801269947039200tr96_400So instead of staring this week – it starts next week.  You may think that is no big deal BUT…

This is GREAT NEWS for you!

Especially if you who were on the fence about signing up – because now you still can!

Ho Ho Hold on a Minute…

Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009

Let me ask you, have you recently been mistaken for Santa (or Mrs.) Claus?

1222santa-on-the-scaleAre random kids jumping on your lap, telling you what they want for Christmas and that the have “good” all year?

Do people ask you where you parked your sleigh?

Are you shoes caked with crusty reindeer poop?

Are elves following you?

Are you unusually jolly?

When you laugh does anyone point and say “Hey look, a bowl full of jelly!”?

Yeah, there’s a lot of that going around this time of year.  And I can help you avoid further embarrassment and confusion.

Put On Hold…

Friday, December 4th, 2009

First let me say thank you to all who have emailed, posted comments and called with your love and support.  I cannot express how much it means to myself and Denyse.  The outpour of support was truly overwhelming, so I thank you from the bottom of my (our) heart(s).  I would reply to each of you to thank you individually, but as you probably know I am far to lazy for that :)

But here is the current deal…

It has been an extremely aggravating morning.

Thanksgiving UN-stuffing

Tuesday, November 24th, 2009

 

The great day of eating yourself sleepy, giving thanks for all our blessing is nearly upon us.  If you recall, last year I adopted a particular Thanksgiving eating strategy that I think I will make a tradition.  You can re-check out that article here:  Happy Thanksgiving: "F" Moderation .  Read it, then come back here…

Thanksgiving at my house is slightly more civilized,
I mean we do not allow babies at the table.

But before you drown yourself in gravy, bury your self in mashed potatoes and  pound down any pie I suggest you earn it. Yes,  you must *EARN* that cheat.
