Starting Body for Life

January 19, 2009

Today was my first workout using the methods detailed in Body for Life. Now before you scoff, at least you long time gym rats, you need to think about one thing. We all end up entrenched in our ways of thinking and trying something new, shedding new light on an old subject, is a good [...]

Diets, losing weight, nutrition – my experiences

January 11, 2009

I have had a long-time quest for the perfect diet. It had to be nutritious, filling,, and tasty. Along the way I have sampled a few diets that didn’t fill any of those requirements. Some of them helped me to lose weight, others helped to build muscles. What is the ideal diet for you? I [...]

Burn Fat, Increase Metabolism

January 6, 2009

I talked the other day about increasing metabolism to get faster caloric burn. What I suggested was eating more meals per day (5 to 6) but smaller quantities of food. This has been proven to work. I have even known people to sneak in an extra meal by getting up around 3 in the morning [...]

Go with the flow

December 30, 2008

I was watching something with Esther Hicks and she said that people just don’t know when to go with the flow (not exact words, but paraphrased) and her analogy was that she went on a rafting trip and out of all the rafts, no one there considered going upstream. Not even the slightest thought to [...]

Life Changing Events – Being a Catalyst

December 27, 2008

I’ve gone to some seminars and some ‘retreats’ and some camps. I’ve been to ‘major events’ and all of those have had impact on who I am as a person. For years growing up, my parents hauled me and my younger brother to these 4-day Jesus events in the Pocono mountains – thousands of people, [...]

Pinch Test

December 26, 2008

I have to get a pinch test and see where I am at with my body fat percentage. As a gut feeling (oh, man, that was not an intentional pun, but I can’t remove it once I type it) I think I am around 15% or so. It really is tough to tell and this [...]

Organization and Problem Solving

December 24, 2008

We only have 24 hours in a day, most days, so there has to be some degree of organization to what you do or you will have less quality output when the day is done. How do you organize yourself? Some people prefer a lot of structure and others fly by the seat of their [...]

Good Advice on Training

December 23, 2008

This morning I was doing my cardio, low speed 6.1 high speed 7.0 , mid speed 6.5. I did my two miles and a bit more and felt really good. Time flies, so I had to limit the run to that. There was a woman running at the next treadmill and she had the ‘heavy [...]

Challenges, Persistence and Training

December 22, 2008

Today was a rough day as you may be able to tell from the late time on this entry. I had a 10 hour OSHA class to teach and had to start at 7am. Unfortunately the gym opens at 5 and between the commute to work and clean up time after my workout, I just [...]
