Here is a quick update on what has been happening. First off I have been trading off with jump-rope/bag-work & katas with jogging about five days a week. Well on surprise to me is I am getting faster at running! I start out slower than a walk (in fact some walkers have passed me), and I [...] Today I’ll update my progress and speak about how important going back to basics is whenever your plan is not seemingly working. This week I have not worked out as much but did longer workouts. It seems that the temperature out in east San Diego County has made it too hot to workout on my [...] It is now the 21st century in case you have not heard. Yes, we all have new pressures our grandparents had never heard of! Back when my grandfather was young, men were expected to work hard to earn a living. There were not too many white collar jobs. I believe people were more fit [...] Friends let me tell you that now you can have your cake and eat it too! I saw this CNN story here that announces that twinkies are cutting their calories by one third. Now dieters the world over can safely eat the occasional twinkie with whatever diet they are on because they are only 100 calories. [...] Americans and much of the developed world have started gaining weight in the last 50 years. Is this your fault? NO I say. What you may be thinking (or yelling at your computer screen)? Well let me explain. My thesis is in the good old days (you know before I was really aware) people had [...] I was scourging the Internet today and noticed a NPR article entitled, “Hotel Maids Challenge the Placebo Effect” that caught my attention. The article is in reference to a study by Harvard psychologists, Ellen Langer and Alia Crum entitled, “Mind-Set Matters: Exercise and the Placebo Effect.” I do not like articles like this that do not have [...] In this day and age where low-fat diets are starting to lose their allure as well as claims that other diets are better, I am going from a moderate-fat diet to my low-fat diet! The main reasons for this change of tactics is the results of my physical at Kaiser as well as only treading water for [...] Have you missed important family holidays because of your latest diet? If so you are missing out on much that makes life worth living! I have missed some holiday festivities during past diets and know how you feel. On the one had you feel the need to reconnect with family, friends, and sweethearts but on the [...] I like many people like to jump into diet and exercise plans with both feet but this is not the best way to proceed. My wife knows this about me and made me promise to first lose 40 pounds and get a check up before I started to do high-intensity cardio-pulimanary workouts. This makes sense [...] Why every year do people decide to try and achieve good health? Why isn’t that important at other times of the year. In my case, New Years comes after the eating season. You know, Thanksgiving and Christmas – the two main holidays where there is plenty of food. People everywhere offer you food and seem put off [...] |
