Goals. Even crazy ones. Set them!

Where do you go without a goal?

Nowhere. And pretty fast too.

Actually, you end up getting nowhere faster without a goal, than to your destination with a goal.

In the case of fat loss, it’s back to "being" fat again. Yes Jon (Benson), I agree, no one is fat ;-) but we all say it anyway, untill we read your impecable reasoning that is.

But back to my goal, and lack thereof.

No goal after I got to my great 2006 goal, got me to an awful picture I won’t share until I’m back to where I want to be. Because, well, yuck.

ARE WE FULL OF CRAP ??? Looks that way …

I just got my hands on a review copy of Dr.Suzanne Gudakunst’s Top Secret Fat Loss Secrets.

If you want to check out her website and skip reading all the following go here

Now if you decide to read the rest of my review let me ask you something ?

Have any of you see an ad these last few days about a lady doctor that all other doctors would like to shut up for good?

Yes, as in kill, lol, but hopefully not literally!

Mobile phones and your health

 This is not new.  There are numerous reports and counter reports on the dangers and non-dangers of using a cell phone. However, the following experiment says a lot more than mere scientific reports. Have a look: 

This should be shown to all children and teenagers
 
 
1 Egg
2 Mobiles
65 minutes of connection between mobiles.


We assembled two mobile phones facing eachother with a raw, whole egg placed between them.


Initiated the call between the two mobiles and allowed 65 minutes approximately…
During the first 15 minutes nothing happened;
25 minutes later the egg started getting hot;
45 minutes later the egg is hot;
65 minutes later the egg is cooked.

Are you part of the minority or the majority?

 

I was curious to see which countries were immediately following the USA on the world obesety statistics.

Have a look and see where your contry fits in, and then see whether you are part of the  non-obese population  or the obese one. Remember that the limit here is a BMI of 30, which is way higher than a healthy number anyway.

BMI is not an ideal measure, as it doesn’t take into consideration your body composition. A lean bodybuilder with 6-9% bodyfat will easily come in with a BMI of over 30 because it is only calculated from total weight and height. However, most people are not bodybuilders, or even with bodyfat as low as 10% for men and 15% for women, so the "average" person can use the BMI calculations for a pretty close estimate of their health status.

I found this list interesting and a little surprising for a couple of countries (good surprises except Mexico).

3 weeks … are you still working on your resolutions?

 

3 weeks since New Year’s Eve already. Time flies, even in the dead of winter with storms, snowfall and rain.

I’m sure you are like many others, you have made resolutions for the New Year. Only, it’s not so new anymore. You have fallen into the "rut" of commute-work-commute-home/TV-sleep and repeat again. Not all of you, I know there are those who sat down, thought this through, wrote precise, positive goals and strong, powerful reasons why they wanted to achieve those goals. You are sticking to the promises you made yourself 3 weeks ago.

Deadlines and pressure

I don’t know about you, but I find that I work best under pressure. Not too much pressure, I mean if I suddenly reaslized I had 15 lbs to drop in a month, it would be a total panic and equally impossible. However, telling myself I have 4 months to drop those same 15 pounds, and I know I’ll just sit around and think "I’ve got time" for two months.

Why is that? Why not drop those 15 lbs in 2 months and improve even more over the following 2 months until the actual deadline date? Urgency. Need. The age-old "fight or flight" reflex. There is no urgent need, so therefore I can wait.
