Health & Diet Tip:
Sudden Change-Unlock Your Hidden Potential
Are you surprised, discouraged or perhaps even amused by those before and
after diet ads that show people miraculously transformed in a matter of
months? Well, while some of them are legitimate some are often not. I say
they are not legitimate not in the sense that they didn’t work but rather how
they go about it.
What they fail to mention is that often the models are tanned, pulling in their
stomachs more than they were at first, and have their wardrobes slightly
adjusted. That's what gives them that 'polished' look. Even if these things
were not done there would be noticeable results I'm sure. My point? It is
possible!
Then you often have the crash diet pictures where the models are often
clothed. While harder to tell, probably most of these people have tried to
lose the weight without any kind of physical activity whatsoever. If you
could see them unclothed they generally would look like a smaller version of
what they were before.
Most of the cases that I just mentioned in the second example are the ones
who are more likely to put the weight back on than the ones who exercise.
The more you put into it the more you get out of it. The less you change
your lifestyle, the less you get out of it…
While I'm not saying you'll always have to exercise as much or even at all, it
will help tremendously when starting out. What you want is the fastest,
safest changes you can manage so you can get on enjoying life! Not too fast
though, as with your eating program you want to be comfortable and
enjoying what you're doing.
First you want to get into some kind of cardiovascular activity. This will
help the greatest in burning fat. Here's a sample beginner program that you
can try:
Week 1
Keep this up until you are satisfied with yourself and/or your time
constraints. You don't have to necessarily walk either. If you have or prefer
a stationary bike for example you could use that.
Second, you need some type of resistance training. This will help you burn
more calories at rest and will also help to shape your body so that you will
create the illusion of a slimmer person by widening your shoulders and your
outer thighs. This will help make your waist appear smaller. Again, here is
a sample program:
Monday - Pushups, as many as you can for 3 sets. Side laterals, 3 sets of 15
repetitions
Wednesday - Lunges, 15-20 for 3 sets. Rowing, 3 sets of 15 repetitions
Friday - Bicep Curls and Tricep Presses, 3 Sets of 15 repetitions
You can do abdominal crunches as well after each workout. Try three sets
of 20 but do not use any resistance. You don't want your waist any thicker!
Incase you don't know, a repetition or rep for short is one performance of an
exercise and a set is a group of repetitions. You can rest a minute or so
between sets, usually when your breathing returns to normal.
To warm up before your exercises just stretch whatever muscle groups you
are working and/or do some light cardiovascular activity for 5 minutes. This
will get your blood flowing and your muscles warm. Since you are not
training heavy or for really big muscles there is less risk of injury.
Any kind of resistance will do. You can use free weights, machines, soup
cans, or rubber bands. Whatever is available to you and most convenient.
Remember that pretty well anything will work if you use it!
There! Doing this program will ensure you greater success than if you didn't
exercise at all. Since I mentioned some of the benefits elsewhere in the book
I won't go through them again.
* It is possible to change your appearance in a relatively short period
Motivational Quote:
"A dream is just a dream. A goal is a dream with a plan
and a deadline."
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the
things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw
off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the
trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
"Fun is about as good a habit as there is."

Our skin is the largest organ for the human body.
Did you know that?
Yet it gets neglected the most!
So whether you are female or male, please remember that your skin, the largest organ in the human body, requires just as much care as your insides.
Research has shown that by taking positive steps toward improving what you eat and how you look and think, you can help your body look younger for a longer period of time.
While wellness begins on the inside by nourishing your cells with the proper balance of vitamins, minerals and nutrients, it’s also essential on the outside of the body.
A glowing, radiant face and silky, smooth skin are all representations of total wellness. That’s why the products you put on the outside of your body should be as nourishing as the ones you take internally.

Editor’s notes & Humour:
Meditation has been scientifically researched and proven to have physiological benefits for decades. Besides its physical benefits, which include stress-relief, improved immune and cardiovascular function, relaxation, and decreased pain, the regular practice of meditation can lead to new insights about life issues (often resulting in the healing of past emotional trauma), heightened creativity, inspiration, greater compassion for others, and a greater connection to one's own inner guidance.
There are a wide variety of meditative techniques to choose from and, as with prayer, choosing the one that you are most comfortable with will provide the greatest benefit.
Meditation can be performed while sitting, lying down, or while walking or jogging. Some people also prefer singing or chanting a word or phrase that has spiritual significance to them. What all meditative techniques have in common is conscious breathing (see above) and a focus on what is happening in each present moment, until the mind becomes empty of thoughts, judgments, and past and future concerns.
A simple way to meditate is to sit comfortably erect with your eyes closed, while paying attention to your breathing.
Observe yourself inhaling and exhaling, allowing whatever thoughts you have to pass you by. In the beginning of your practice, you will find your mind wandering. Each time this occurs, gently refocus on your breath.
To improve your concentration, you can also silently repeat a word, or mantra, such as love, peace, or Jesus. Eventually, you will experience longer periods of silence between each thought, although it may take months before this occurs. Be patient and don't force matters.
Try to sit for 10 to 20 minutes once or twice a day, but if you find yourself too distracted or pressed for time, end your session, instead of sitting restlessly. With commitment and consist practice, the benefits of meditation will become apparent to you, and you'll realize your efforts are well worth it.
Classic Steven Wright
If you're not familiar with the work of Steven Wright, he's the scientist who once said: "I woke up one morning and all of my stuff had been stolen and replaced by exact duplicates!"
His mind tends to see things a bit differently than the rest of us. Here are some of his gems:
I'd kill for a Nobel Peace Prize.
Borrow money from pessimists - they don't expect it back.
42.7% of all statistics are made up on the spot.
All those who believe in psychokinesis, raise my hand.
The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.
I almost had a psychic girlfriend, but she left me before we met.
OK, so what's the speed of dark?
Depression is merely anger without enthusiasm.
Ambition is a poor excuse for not having enough sense to be lazy.
Hard work pays off in the future, laziness pays off now.
I intend to live forever; so far, so good.
If Barbie is so popular, why do you have to buy her friends?
What happens if you get scared half to death twice?
My mechanic told me, "I couldn't repair your brakes, so I made your horn louder."
Why do psychics have to ask you for your name?
A conclusion is the place where you got tired of thinking.
The hardness of the butter is proportional to the softness of the bread.
The problem with the gene pool is that there is no lifeguard.
The colder the x-ray table, the more of your body is required to be on it. Everyone has a photographic memory; some just don't have film.
