Real People Real Results - Understanding how food, fitness and mental attitude affect weight loss
In Vegas, you can indulge in some of the seven deadly sins which might include lust, sloth, greed or gluttony.
Gamble into the wee hours of the morning, wander in a alcoholic haze, belly up to an over indulgent buffet or shop until your credit cards are maxed out. Las Vegas is a temptress. Be prepared to take a chance and gamble. The choice is yours. These are the choices I made.
Way (way, way, way) back in late Sept 2007 I did a podcast about the fact that I was about to begin kettlebell training. Darlene was in Peru at the time and I had purchased a 20 pound Kettlebell while I was waiting her return. I acquired a little health challenge while she was away and stopped all my training (I was in the hospital the day she was flying home and wasn’t even sure if I’d make the airport to pick her up). I was all fired up when I wrote the article, just itching to get lifting asap as I learned about them from Pavel’s e-book and some online video’s of kettlebell training, but alas, it was not to be at that moment in time.
I was released from the hospital in time to meet Darlene’s plane (which ended up being delayed), got her home and we took the night off.
The very next day, Dar and I drove downtown in my new Jeep to buy a heavier Kettlebell. We got a 35 pounder and headed home. I unloaded it from the Jeep and was asked the fateful question:
I did three swings (count them – 3 [!]) and suddenly stood up and said “Ow – That didn’t feel too good” and then went in to lay down on the couch. 10 minutes later I called Darlene and told her I couldn’t move.
I threw my back out after my first 3 kettlebell swings.
A comprehensive new report warns that medical evidence is stronger than ever that excess body fat increases a person’s risk for numerous cancers and provides this list of 10 recommendations for preventing cancer.
The report by the American Institute for Cancer Research and the World Cancer Research Fund says there is also convincing evidence linking consumption of alcohol, red meat and processed meat to elevated cancer risk.
I have very little trust in any cancer research and especially any groups asking for donations for cancer research. In my opinion, it’s all just a big game of fund raising without any expectation of results. There’s more money in fund raising than cures.
However, the cancer prevention recommendations provided by the Diet and Cancer Report are sound and I’m happy to provide them for comments
When do you make the final decision to take action on your weight? What’s the last straw that pushes you over the edge? What is your “warning weight”… the number that you set in your head that says “ok, gotta have a look at my training and my diet”? Is it when you pants no longer fit? Or you have to squeeze into that theater seat? Or is it when your doctor says “you have to do something or you’re going to die” ? or is it when you sit on the chair at the Christmas Party only to have it collapse under your weight?
I have a friend who keeps talking about his weight and setting goals to do something about it. I’ve been given a written “goal” listing why, when and how this is going to happen, yet it never seems to. Something keeps getting in the way and stopping this person from actually taking charge and doing it.
Finally, the moment came.
