First of all, sorry for the inactivity around here. Much going on in life right now. : )
So I have decided I could need to lose some pounds, I have no goal of an exact amount at this moment. I’m not going to struggle, I will really let it take time this time. The ca
use of this is of course I want to get more fit, but this is also an experiment of my body. Will two simple steps work? I’m going to do two small things everyday in order to reach my goal within 4 months.
1) I’m going to fill up my schedule a lil bit more. Before, I used to do cardio workouts five times a week. Wednesday and sunday was resting day. Now I’m going to workout with cardio at home seven days a week. That means no resting days.
2) As for the second thing, I’m going to eat smaller portions at dinner everyday. The reason for this is that I understood the importance of it even better now. Let me explain: I’m usually very inactive physically after dinner. That means that everything I eat won’t be burning up as…

When to eat? It’s something that you wouldn’t expect to be nearly as important as it is.
For example, if you eat a pizza for breakfast, it’s not that bad as you will burn all those calories during your day.
But.. if you eat it right before bed, you won’t burn much of it as your body starts saving calories. You need to have energy during the day, not in bed!
However, you shouldn’t eat pizza at all, unless there’s something special, but if you really are a pizza lover, I’d recommend to try diabetes pizza.
Here are some guidelines to follow when you’re creating a daily eating routine:
* Don’t eat right before bed.
* Eat a steady breakfast. Really steady! What you eat is less important.
* Keep your lunch 3 hours after breakfast.
* Nuts, fruits, and other small meals during afternoon.
* Dinner portions should not be too big, but still enough.
A lot of people thinks that the less you eat the more weight you lose. In principle, it’s true, but there are some exceptions.
Lose weight by eating breakfast & drink water at the right time
Eating breakfast will make your metabolism much better during the whole day and therefore burn up more calories. You will also feel much more energized and focused. It’s not very important what you eat – Of course, the best breakfast is a good mixture of fiber, protein, carbohydrates and some fat.
By drinking water as soon as you wake up will make your taste bud better and also make you feel hungry, study; http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8287852.
It is proven that drinking water before meals will make the food more tasteful. Therefore, it’s a good simple step for people who tend to give up breakfast because they aren’t feeling hungry. Moreover, drinking water after a meal will get your metabolism to work immediately and therefore burn more.
I have always believed in goals. If you have goals, you know where you’re going.
Six advices for you to set goals to get motivated:
1. Answer the questions how, when, how?
2. Get help if you can not answer them myself. (E.g how – personal trainer)?
3. For what reason? Is that enough justification?
4. How will you measure your performance when you are ‘advanced’? When are the target to be achieved and what happens if it is not?
5. How will you reward yourself? (Reward spurs)
6. Once the plan is nailed, it is reasonable? You can follow this plan along your options?
In order that a case should be motivating enough, you should have about 50% chance of doing it. This means that it will be difficult to achieve, beacuse if the goal is too easily achieved you won’t feel motivated enough to struggle.
Similarly, if the goal is too hard it will be easy to hang because of performance requirements.
This is a full body cardio workout program. Ten exercises, 30 reps per exercise, which is 300 reps in total.

My Life as a Sicilian – a three-year dieting journey in the land of antipasti
It began simple enough. Our family relocated to Sicily, Italy by way of California, complements of the United States navy. I had just lost the forty-five pounds of post-baby weight and was down to fourteen percent body fat. I was happy, content and thin. Then the news that we would be moving abroad came into view and I instantly became frantic. I had heard the rumors of Sicilians walking the streets, eating pastries, enjoying large ten-course meals at lunchtime, and lots of alcohol consumption. I had seen the pictures of brooding Sicilian mothers forcing their large families to “mangia! Mangia!” and not to leave the table until every morsel vanished. I knew of several Italian families living here in the United States that only enjoyed their family reunions because of the pasta-gorging and pizza-baking. These people were serious about their food! I wanted no part of it. I…

When I first started out as an artist in 1990, there were hundreds of struggling artists in Austin complaining of not finding any “real” work. Of course an artist who works regularly is successful, and balances their energy between being creative and being entrepreneurial. Many talented people refuse to do it this way. They focus on the art itself… the fun part! That’s important, too, but almost not as important as the business side. It’s like my design professor said at university, “Talent is only 10%. That piece of paper is only worth 5.” There are plenty of gifted people out there who never achieve their goals because they don’t know how to package, sell or market what they have to offer.
Everything soon came together for me, and I realized this business approach works in every aspect of life if you truly want to find direction and make tangible progress. It even works for health and fitness. In fact, it works quite well!
Think of this as a business workshop for…

This is a video showing how you can do a full body workout outdoors with cardio. Without any equipment and it’s really simple. Much better than being a couch potato, right?
“Break up boring cardio into shorter segments, and you will burn more fat!”
Begin with warm-up, jogging for about 15-20 minutes to get your heart going.
As we all inch closer to warm breezes, flip flops, and tan lines that can be spotted from a block away we must not neglect the present. Why not start this spring out with a bang? Even if you lack the time to pump it out in your local gym, there are a few other ways to boost your weight loss and overall health. I’d like to welcome you to a few of my dirty secrets:
1.The Avocado. Sure, they are packed with FAT and typically served with even fattier choices but avocados contain healthful monounsaturated fat, which has been linked to a reduced risk of cancer, heart disease, and diabetes. But no fear… it’s the bad fats that make you fat and the good fats that keeps you from getting fat! Most would probably assume they are in the vegetable family but the avocado is actually a fruit. (Technically a large berry that contains a large seed) Since fat has twice the energy of protein or carbs, limit yourself to 1/4 to 1/2 avocado per serving.
2.TheApple.Did you know there…
