Weight Watchers 2013

It’s January and the hordes of us wanting to lose the weight is on ! Weight Watchers is a wonderful program to lose weight. As a personal trainer who teaching weight loss and runs Weight Loss Challenges through out the year, I love how their program creates a daily awareness.

Weight Watchers 360 Program is out and the president of Weight Watchers, Dave Kirchhoff, talks about how our bodies came to be “How” they are. How after millions of years of survival, our bodies store fat if we are not eating often enough, how they shut down and most importantly how to get your metabolism to accelerate for maximum Fat Loss.

weight WatchersWeight Watchers: So, How Does Success Happen? (from the Weight Watchers website)

So how does success happen?

Everything I’ve seen from our successful members clearly shows that losing weight and learning to keep it off requires a combination of all of the following:

  1. Becoming more mindful of what we eat. Research has shown that keeping a food diary is remarkably effective in helping us tackle issues related to 200 daily food decisions.
  2. Learning to make food tradeoffs we can live with. Deprivation always fails us. There is only so much misery we can bear. However, if we start choosing foods that taste great, are naturally filling, and provide bulk, we can better avoid the misery.
  3. Taking accountability and control when we feel out of control by employing tools that give us a way to avoid being a victim to our food environment.
  4. Learning to rebuild our personal food environment, at home, in the office, in our cars etc., we can create a place where we avoid temptation.
  5. Recognizing that the best kind of willpower is the discipline to have a planbefore we enter a scary food situation.
  6. Recognizing that simple, easy to do routines can help to make healthy behavior second nature. Boiling the ocean never works. However, implementing a few small changes at a time can have a profound multiplier effect on our other behaviors.

Weight loss with Weight Watchers

is a systematic process of unlearning old habit and forming new ones. It’s been said it only takes 21 days to form a new habit. Get connected with Weight Watchers and live to your potential !

Can a Woman of 50+ be too old for Beachbody’s P90X?

Comments Off on Can a Woman of 50+ be too old for Beachbody’s P90X?

Can a Woman of 50+ be too old for Beachbody’s P90X?

Almost 2 years ago, JUST before my 54th birthday, I viewed an infomercial on a fitness DVD Series called P90X.

I was not familiar with BEACH BODY, had NEVER done a fitness DVD program at HOME in my life (Perhaps mainly because I had worked at gyms- yes, even as a personal trainer- and had belonged to gyms most of my adult life!)…but this program caught my attention. At that time I was actually working full time as manager of a local gym….but the thought of working out at home, in the comfort of own space- and not having to go into the gym before or staying after my shift became more appealing the more I thought of it….

I may have even GOOGLED P90X results for WOMEN to get inspired, I really don’t recall….but at that time in my life, I wanted a NEW challenge and to do something different than I had been doing over the past several years. I wanted to WORK OUT AT HOME!

WHY DID I NEED P90X in the first place?

The end of 2007, Dave and I moved from Scottsdale Arizona back to Vermont to be here to support in the birth of our first granddaughter. We had lived in warm climates for so many years and honestly, my BLOOD was thin and I was COLD – actually FREEZING the first winter! Whatever the reason….and believe me- I HAD my excuses- I quickly packed on 10-15 pounds and I was not happy with how I looked and felt- in fact I was miserable. As I look back the excuses I used for almost 2 years were pathetic… “I am a new grandmother…., I am over 50, I need some extra FAT to stay warm, I am in love and don’t most people GAIN weight when they first begin dating?” And the pathetic list went on and on…

But…here is the thing…I am a woman of action and as soon as I saw this infomercial for P90X I realized this was a program that I wanted to do….and I didn’t want to wait even one day…so I went on Craig’s List….found a used copy locally- and we began P90X on that Monday.

Was P90X difficult?

Too hard for a woman- especially over 50 years old? I have to say it was NOT easy….in fact, it was challenging in so many ways…but the results were absolutely astonishing. IN 90 days I added 6.2 lbs. of muscle, dropped 20.2 lbs. of fat and ended the program at a very healthy and strong weight of 132. I was ON TOP of the world….I swore I would never go back to being out of shape or over weight…and back then after 90 days- I promise you I would not have traded my “new body” for $10,000….really! Question: go back to begin FAT and out of shape vs. $10,000 CASH on the spot….I was not buying!

Well, circumstances changed- as they often do… and I have gained some of my fat and weight back and I am not happy. It was that damn pair of jeans that I tried on last night- that didn’t go past my hips that made me decide TODAY that I am going to repeat P90X again…beginning on Monday.

I am excited…..I WANT to be STRONG and LEAN again and I will. P90X There is something about aging, turning older…when the actual NUMBER changes. I will be 56 years old in February and by the time that day rolls around, I will be half way to my new and healthy self. I am not beating myself up (well, I am trying not too) because I have a solution….it’s called DETERMINATION, DEDICATION, WILL POWER. My WHY is GOOD HEALTH- a STRONG and HEALTHY BODY and the ability to fit into my favorite clothes. P90X here I come!

Comments Off on Pets

Today is a cold winter Saturday morning and our cats LUNA and SOLEIL (Moon and Sun, born on the Spring Solstice in 2008) were wondering why the heck I was still in bed! Luna jumped onto our king size bed and sat on my pillow until I stirred. Then she “gently” took her paw and patted my nose….ever so gently saying “hey….breakfast time has already passed, mom”. I ignored her….until I felt the a couple more PATS on my nose. Ok, guys…I thought. I’ll get up.

While on my way downstairs, and almost being tripped up by both cats scurrying down near my feet I heard our both Luna and Soleil “MEOWING” at the delight that I was finally getting out of bed so that they could be fed! At that moment, I realized that although I felt slightly inconvenienced that I’d really miss them if suddenly I didn’t have them in my life to care for and love.

As much as they can be a pain in the butt by craving my attention at times when I would prefer them not to…example while I am at my desk (like now, rubbing against my shoulder, laying on the keyboard of my laptop and making the letters capitalized!) I still wouldn’t trade the overall benefit of THEIR LOVE and companionship that they give me-day in and day out, consistently. ONE of the BEST benefits for ME is that over the past 4 ½ years I have laughed more since adopting these sister felines!!! Although I have an ‘OK’ sense of humor -before the “girls” I rarely laughed out loud….whereas my partner Dave has an infectious laugh and can break out into a chuckle or hysteria at the first sign of something being remotely funny. Laughter IS the best medicine…..

Ever wonder why people have Pets?

True, most households in the United States have at least one pet. Ever wonder why people have pets? After all, they do add one more responsibility…and there is a cost involved….

There are many reasons why people own pets but here are some of the health benefits of owning a pet.

Pets

How pets can affect mood and health

While most pet owners are clear about the immediate joys that come with sharing their lives with companion animals, many remain unaware of the physical and mental health benefits that can also accompany the pleasure of playing with or snuggling up to a furry friend. It’s only recently that studies have begun to scientifically explore the benefits of the human-animal bond. Studies have found that:

  • Pet owners are less likely to suffer from depression than those without pets.
  • People with pets have lower blood pressure in stressful situations than those without pets.
  • Playing with a pet can elevate levels of serotonin and dopamine, which calm and relax.
  • Pet owners have lower triglyceride and cholesterol levels (indicators of heart disease) than those without pets.
  • Heart attack patients with pets survive longer than those without.
  • Pet owners over age 65 make 30 percent fewer visits to their doctors than those without pets.
  • A pet doesn’t have to be a dog or a cat. Even watching fish in an aquarium can help reduce muscle tension and pulse rate.

One of the reasons for these therapeutic effects is that most pets fulfill the basic human need to touch. Even hardened criminals in prison have shown long-term changes in their behavior after interacting with pets, many of them experiencing mutual affection for the first time. Stroking, holding, cuddling, or otherwise touching a loving animal can rapidly calm and soothe us when we’re stressed. The companionship of a pet can also ease loneliness, and some pets are a great stimulus for healthy exercise, which can substantially boost mood.

How pets can help to make healthy lifestyle changes

Adopting healthy lifestyle changes can play an important role in easing symptoms of depression, stress, bipolar disorder, PTSD, and anxiety. Caring for a pet can help with those healthy lifestyle changes by:

  • Increasing exercise. Exercise doesn’t have to involve boring repetition at a gym. Taking a dog for a walk, riding a horse, or simply chasing a kitten around are fun ways to fit healthy daily exercise into your schedule.
  • Providing companionship. Isolation and loneliness can make disorders such as depression even worse. Caring for a living animal can help make you feel needed and wanted, and take the focus away from your problems. Most pet owners talk to their pets, some even use them to work through their troubles.

Helping meet new people. Pets can be a great social lubricant for their owners. Dog owners frequently stop and talk

  • to each other on walks or in a dog park. Pet owners also meet new people in pet stores, clubs, and training classes.
  • Reducing anxiety. The companionship of a dog can offer comfort, help ease anxiety, and build self-confidence for people anxious about going out into the world.
  • Adding structure and routine to your day. Many pets, especially dogs, require a regular feeding and exercise schedule. No matter your mood—depressed, anxious, or stressed—you’ll always have to get out of bed to feed, exercise, and care for your pet.
  • Providing sensory stress relief. Touch and movement are two healthy ways to quickly manage stress. This could involve petting a cat or taking a dog for a walk.

So there you go…once again our cats gave me something positive to think about first thing in the morning. I included them in my morning GRATITUDE….which will no doubt, bring more JOY and things to be grateful for, into my day!

A Gym in a Parallel Universe

By | |
Comments Off on A Gym in a Parallel Universe

Imagine if the gender roles were reversed in the commercial gym!


This is one of the funniest videos I have ever seen. Why is it so funny?

I think that the role reversal in an obvious stereotypical way, touches both genders. Although we seem to put up with what we are familair with, the unfamilair roles reversal are funny.

A Gym is one of the last bastions…

where men can be men, and women can be women. We get to see roles played out that aren’t as obvious in other parts of our lives. Like the office, a ball game, etc. It seems as though we have permission to go further into our DNA and express what that is in a gym. We see guys unabashedly flexing in a mirror, women with outfits they wouldn’t be caught dead in anywhere else in the world, but in a gym.

American director Jay Diaz did, and has created a short film which flips cliche gender roles that play out night after night at countless bars and nightclubs.

The Flip Side (Role Reversal in a Bar December 2011) has become an online sensation, with more than 2.2million viewers eager to see the roles of men and women switched on a night out.

See you in the Gym!

Yes, I think pokes fun at incredibly stereo type roles in the reversal… it’s just damn funny!

14 Year Veterans of Network Marketing Dave & Joy Review The Empower Network

Don’t Even Think About Joining Empower Network…….

Until You read and see this

So what’s the deal with Empower Network anyway? If you are anything like me, you have probably started running into this deal and there do seem to be a lot of people pretty excited about it?

That’s how it always starts with a hyper-growth network marketing company isn’t it? The low rumble that the early adopters always watch for and then the explosion into Hyper-Growth where millions can be made if you pay attention and know how to market.

But what the devil is Empower Network? Is this just a clever scam or a real deal that is just on the verge of explosive growth?

So Is It Really Possible To Make Money With Empower Network?

Check it out…

I’ve never seen so many success stories, from so many people, from just ONE program like this one.

Check out results from others….

 

Rod, that IS “nice”. When you think about the fact that most people have to work 8 hours to earn LESS than $100 per day….

it makes this system the best way to make money I’ve ever seen.

Congratulations!

Juanita, you hit the nail on the head!

When you follow the system as we’ve got it designed…it’s nearly impossible not to have results. Congratulations on your $250 day!

Congratulations Jean-Francois! That’s quite a birthday! :)

Let’s be honest: using this method, it was EASIER than what you’d been doing to make less money, wasn’t it?

Congrats!

 

See, that’s what I’m talking about…

You’re not out there chasing friends and family. You’re not drawing circles on the back of napkins or doing those little “milk and cookie” parties in

people’s living rooms….

Just following a simple online system and watching cash drop in!

Congratulations, Brent!

Making money while you sleep!

That’s a common theme in this business. Happy for you!

Check out what James says below, he is another guy who makes money while drooling on his pillow:

James, you rock. And you’re right!

When you follow a proven system that works… the results flow in!

Check out this email from a lady who just got started a few hours ago:

 

Man, that fires me UP! Read that again: she’s “never made money online”…

Yet she made her first sale within hours of plugging into our system.

And it happens all the time!

Here’s another one:

 

 

Love it! And all you have to do is follow the system!

 

 

That’s so bad-ass. And all it takes is TAKING ACTION & getting started!

I can go on and on.

But, here’s the real question:

Are YOU ready to see YOUR success story being told?

Are you ready to start earning what you deserve?

We pay out 100% commissions!

We’ve paid out over $20.4 Million in the last 13 months.

Come get your share!

Empower Network is the simplest, fastest and SAFEST way for you to earn a large income from home!

If you’re ready to get started and just want the order form, you can get in here.

So Can Empower Network Really Give You Overnight Success?

Now a little warning here, Empower Network is not a Magic income Bullet that will fix your bank account overnight unless you already understand how to generate leads online or have some good coaching on how to do it.

Now Empower does have a very powerful compensation plan and I have seen many people generate anywhere from $10,000 to $54,000 in their fist month, however it only kicks in if you can drive enough lead traffic to your Empower Network webpage.

Now because of this, which Empower team you join will dramatically affect your growth and success curve. Keep in mind that there are a lot of good people out there that are flying blind, they got excited, jumped in and ended up with no one to guide them on the best success strategies.

Here is just a quick look at the Special Empower Network Bonuses you will receive by Joining Our Empower Network Team and work directly with us. We are part of a team with added special training, including videos, step by step instruction on exactly “How To” market both with Free and Paid advertising.

The coolest part is you can come in at what ever level is comfortable to you! The base package is only $25. Wow.

178 Seconds to Live – a Private Pilot Story

By | |
Comments Off on 178 Seconds to Live – a Private Pilot Story

The source is unknown …

Guinea Pig Pilot – 178 Seconds

How long can a pilot who has little or no instrument training expect to live after he flies into bad weather and loses visual contact? Researchers at the University of Illinois did some tests and came up with some very interesting data. Twenty student “guinea pigs” flew into simulated instrument weather, and all went into graveyard spirals or roller coasters. The outcome differed in only one respect – the time required till control was lost. The interval ranged from 480 seconds to 20 seconds. The average time was 178 seconds — two seconds short of three minutes.

Here’s the fatal scenario for all you VFR Pilot (s)

The sky is overcast and the visibility is poor. That reported five mile visibility looks more like two, and you can’t judge the height of the overcast. Your altimeter tells you that you are at 1500 feet but your map tells you that there’s local terrain as high as 1200 feet. There might be a tower nearby because you’re not sure how far off course you are. But you, being pilot in command, have flown into worse weather than this, so press on. You find yourself unconsciously easing back just a bit on the controls to clear those towers. With no warning, you’re in the soup. You peer so hard into the milky white mist that your eyes hurt. You fight the feeling in your stomach. You try to swallow, only to find your mouth dry. Now you realize you should have waited for better weather. The appointment was important, but not all that important. Somewhere a voice is saying, “You’ve had it — it’s all over!”

You now have 178 seconds to live.
Your aircraft feels on even keel but your compass turns slowly. You push a little rudder and add a little pressure on the controls to stop the turn but this feels unnatural and you return the controls to their original position. This feels better but now your compass is turning a little faster and your airspeed is increasing slightly. You scan your instruments for help but what you see looks somewhat unfamiliar. You’re sure that this is just a bad spot. You’ll break out in a few minutes. (But you don’t have a few minutes left. . .)

You now have 100 seconds to live.
You glance at your altimeter and you are shocked to see it unwinding. You’re already down to 1200 feet. Instinctively, you pull back on the controls but the altimeter still unwinds. The engine is into the red and the airspeed, nearly so.

You have 45 seconds to live.
Now you’re sweating and shaking. There must be something wrong with the controls; pulling back only moves the airspeed indicator further into the red. You can hear the wind tearing at the aircraft. You are about to meet your Maker.

You have 10 seconds to live.
Suddenly you see the ground. The trees rush up at you. You can see the horizon if you turn your head far enough but it’s at a weird angle — you’re almost inverted. You open your mouth to scream but. . . . . . you just ran out of seconds.

All pilots, but especially a VFR pilot, don’t press into marginal weather.

The Empower Network A Primary Business ?

By | |
Comments Off on The Empower Network A Primary Business ?

The Empower Network

In our continuing search of effective ways to market our primary business and assist out team to create leads, we came across a company that is getting a lot of buzz in the market. Honestly, I had seen the Empower Network 8-9 months ago and thought it was garbage.

Motivated and with fresh eyes intent on finding an effective ways for our team members to market in our primary business, we looked at the Empower Network program. For very little ( $25 to be exact) we hopped in and began nosing around. We found a simple system where the average person could generate leads without having a PHD in marketing. People were generating 30-50 leads per day, many used free approaches, others used paid techniques, and both were successful. All good.

This was fitting our goal of simple, duplicable, training included, and created an abundance of leads.

The Empower Network – A Primary Business ?

Next we noticed and were surprised that because of the success of the program, many were using this as a primary business. Better news for us as we could see how this would generate leads, assist our team and be used as an additional income stream for us.

Then we saw some amazing incomes being generated with Empower, we saw people crushing this business to the tune of 40k to over 100k per month. Now that’s exciting, but what grabbed us was 2 of the people featured on a 2nd video we saw last night, we know personally and one of them was creating over 100k per month.

There is something huge here whether you have a primary business or not. If you’ve seen this program in the past, we ask that you look at it with new eyes.

Get Your Eyes on the Empower Network

Here’s your next steps….. watch the overview video first then call or shoot us an email and we will forward the 2nd video we discovered with 2 of my friends/previous business associates on it, people we know and connected with to verify the success…. this will blow you away especially if you’re an ex-Liberty Leaguer….. Watch the first video, and then get back with Joy or myself.

Again, I totally discounted this program 9 months ago…. Now that I have seen the leverage from the compensation plan(and you only see it once you are on the inside, only $25 ) Perhaps it time for another look.

As one of my old pilot friends used to say when we would hop in to his aerobatic airplane.… “Get in, sit down, shut up and hold on!”

Start the ride here (30 min) /readytorelease.php?id=workwithdaveandjoy

 

Then email us for the 2nd link…. (The 2nd video will make sense after you’ve seen the first video!)

10 Tips from AARP

By | |
Comments Off on 10 Tips from AARP

Who would have ever thought AARP would offer advice that I would agree on 100%?????

If you think you’re in for another rigorous regimen of dieting and exercise, think again. According to AARP– and yes, I am a baby boomer and member of AARP. They “found me” exactly on my 50th birthday when I was living in Arizona. I couldn’t believe that my invitation to join their organization arrived ON my birthday! Really????

Anyway, at age 55, soon to be 56 when I opened AARP’s latest news bulletin I thought their 10 Tips for Better Health would be a bunch of “hooey” for the older population…which of course, is not me. (Ha-ha…I do have an AARP card so I guess I am one of “those”.) To my surprise, I actually like-even embrace and agree with all 10 of their suggestions. What are your thoughts about AGING and BETTER HEALTH in the New Year?

1) Throw a party: Social connections, friends, family, neighbors or colleagues- can actually help you live longer and better! One study suggests that poor social ties could play a more important role in determining longevity than even smoking, lack of exercise or obesity. Cool….we love a party… With Nerium International we have “wine tasting, wrinkle chasing parties”!

2) Adopt a pet. Whether finned, feathered or furry, pets are good for your health. That’s good news. We have two “sister kitties” whose names are Luna and Soleil…born on the spring solstice. Soleil, at this moment is lovingly laying with her tail on my laptop as I type this. (companionship)

3) Choose chocolate. I have never been a huge fan of chocolate (not sure why) which really is strange for most women, however….I love ForeverGreen International’s deep dark 24 carat chocolate. (Small wafers can be enjoyed bite by bite or by melting and dipping with favorite fruit!)

4) Savor your coffee. Enough said. Do NOT take away my cup of morning java- and the good news, according to one study- coffee appears to lower the risk of chronic illnesses such as diabetes, heart disease and pneumonia, according to news research from the National Institute of Health. Just don’t overdo consumption or the addition of cream and sugar!

5) Raise a glass of wine or beer. No need to go into this….I am happy it is on the list. I am sipping a glass of red wine as I write this.

6) Have sex…..yahoo….great news. Sex releases endorphins, the feel-good chemicals that act as painkillers and reduce anxiety. Sex also prompts the release of substances that bolster the immune system…and yes, the list goes on and on…

7) Listen to your favorite music. We can hear music even before we’re born, and we continue to respond to it all our lives. Indeed. Music profoundly affects health. Listening to your favorite music may be good for health.

8) Take a nap. Do NOT feel bad resting during the day. A midafternoon nap can help improve mood, memory, alertness and learning. Many companies that understand this even have chairs that recline and actually encourage their employees to take some ZZZZ’s in the afternoon. Very cool. If you are like me, you have a home based business where you can rest whenever you wish!

9) Go au naturel…..and no, this doesn’t mean walking around in the buff (birthday suit) or skinny dipping….although that was my first thought. Much like eating greens provides essential nutrients, so does seeing and being around green. Enjoy the environment….get beyond concrete!

10) Get off your soapbox. Now what does this mean? To save time, money and your health, stop using the high-octane soaps and household cleaners that contain the antibacterial agent triclosan. Although this lengthy article had many reasons for this, the way I interpret it is to use all natural skin care products, including soap…after all the skin is the largest organ in the body and everything you put ON your skin gets absorbed INTO your body. Instead use products from ForeverGreen International’s natural product line or have something custom made by my daughter, Kori, who is an aromatherapist/herbalist who creates natural products for the body.

Finally “Living a long and healthy life has a lot to do with living an enjoyable life” says Stein of the NYU School of Medicine. This wonderful “professional” also adds one more to our list: “At least once a week, buy yourself the present of spending time doing exactly what you want.” GREAT advice!
