Weight Loss Diary, Day 1

By David McCarthy Weight Loss Day by Day Diary: Day 1: Sunday February 5, 2006. In response to an email I received from a reader I have taken up her suggestion to share my next weight control program by publishing my weight loss diary in article form for everybody to follow. Ill start with a few personal details that will give you a guideline to make comparisons with your own progress. - My height is a fraction over 6 feet. (1.83m) - My current weight is 197 pounds (97.5 kilos) - My target weight is 180 pounds (89 kilos.) - My age is 65. - My physical condition is basically sound but I do suffer from osteo-arthritis in both ankles. The left is severe the right isnt much of a problem. I guess the reason for coming clean on those personal details is to make the point that age or physical condition is a factor. Younger, fitter people will find this easier. I have used this system to control my weight for close to thirty years now and it has never let me down. I use a very scientific measuring gauge known as a waistband. When it gets tight I need to lose some weight, when it goes slack I go back to my normal routine. Usually I only allow my weight to go over by 10 pounds (4.5 kilos) before taking action. This year it has soared due to a very busy January that flew past so quickly I barely noticed it leaving my Christmas weight gain to get worse. Now I have to lose 17 pounds (7.65 kilos) and that is what makes it more interesting and worth sharing the experience with you. You will notice from the above paragraph I have no doubt that I will lose it and this is an important part of the weight loss mindset. If this is the first time you have attempted this system you will have to complete the first few goals to prove that you can do it; after that you will have the same degree of confidence that I have. The first thing I must do is set goals. Adherence to and achievement of goals is the basic difference between winners and losers. Here I must be honest and tell you that 17 pounds seems like a mountain to me and I know that it will take me 17 weeks to successfully dispose of it. Hence I will not even look at losing 17 pounds as my initial goal. My goals are listed below: - At the end of week 1 I will have abided by my goal of dropping one item of food from my diet each day without cheating. I will lose one pound (450 grams) - By the end of week 2 I will have increased my walking/exercise periods from 10 minutes on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday to 12 minutes each session. I will have lost 2 pounds. - By the end of February I will exercise Monday, Wednesday and Saturday for 15 minutes each time. My weight will be 194 pounds (96 kilos) That is enough for now: I will update my goals as I go along. As you can see my weight loss goals are simple and within reach without too much effort. Why? Because we must all start training our minds to achieve our goals. If I set a goal to lose 10 pounds in one week and I only lose eight I will look upon myself as a loser and soon give up. To be of use goals must be achievable or they will soon cease to function for us. - I have entered my first three goals in my diary and tomorrow we start in earnest.

Understanding Being Overweight - How to Successfully Get Slim

By Knut Holt THE CAUSES OF EXCESSIVE WEIGHT If you eat more nutrients containing energy than you need for your daily activities, for the internal processes of your body, and for the burning process that maintains the body temperature, the excessive nutrients can be transformed to fat and stored in the fat depots in your body. The causes of this occurring, and thus of overweight, are one or more of these factors: 1. Consuming too much fat: Fat is the most energy-rich nutrient, and over-consume will cause the excessive fat consumed to be deposited in the body. 2. Consuming too much sugar, starch or other carbohydrates: Carbohydrates are also important energy sources. Over-consume of carbohydrates will cause the excess to be converted to fat and stored in the body. 3 Consuming too much alcohol: Also this substance contains energy, and excessive consume results in fat stored in your body. 4 Consuming too much of preprocessed products with added, and often hidden fat or sugar, like sweet beverages, cakes, ice-cream, fast food and snacks. 5. Eating too much altogether: Perhaps your food is not fat- or sugar-laden, but you simply eat too much altogether. Also protein will be converted to fat if it is overconsumed. 6. Irregular eating, like eating much at one time, little at another time, wait long between some meals, consuming huge doses of sugar at some times, no sugar at other times: If you eat irregularly, you can get an uncontrollable appetite, a swinging blood sugar level, and an abnormal physiology that makes you deposit fat in your body. 7. A still sitting life with little exercise so that you burn little fat and sugar. 8. Boredom in your daily life: If you do not have much hobbies, or leisure activities, or isolate yourself from other people, you may suffer form boredom, and excessive eating may be your way of getting entertainment. 9. The body has some capacity of burning some extra amount of sugar or fat. This capacity may be decreased because of lack of vitamins and minerals, and because of an unsound diet. 10. An abnormal appetite that urges you to eat far more than you need: This abnormal appetite may originate from psychological causes, an unsound diet or lack of exercise. ANALYZE YOUR OBESITY PROBLEMS Before beginning your weight reduction program, go through all obesity causing factors listed above, to find out what factors contribute to your over-weight problem. Go down to details. For example: If you find you consume too much sugar, find out the exact food types contributing to your excessive sugar consume. Write everything down. MAKE A PLAN With the performed analysis in hand, make a plan for your weigh reduction. Decide a goal for your weight. Decide one or more measures for each component contributing to your problem. Write down your plan. HOW TO REDUCE WEIGHT In order to successfully loose weight, you must attack every component you have found to be a causing factor of your obesity problem. Here are the concrete measures you can use, and put into your plan: 1. Eat less fat If you eat much fat, you must reduce the daily intake of fat, to do so: * Choose fat poor fish, fat poor meat/beef, chicken, turkey, mushrooms and other food sources with law fat content as the main components for dishes. * Cut away visible fat from meat or other food sources. * Do not add much margarine, butter or oil to your food. * When you fry something, try to use as little fatty smear in the pan as possible. 2. Eat less sugar If you eat much sugar, reduce your daily intake of free sugar, or bounded sugar as in flour, potatoes and the like: * Do not add much sugar to your food. * You may also need to consume less bread, potatoes, peas and beans, if you eat very much of it, but do not stop eating these kinds of food, since they contain valuable nutrients. However, use bread made of full corn. 3. Avoid excessive alcohol consume Alcohol contains energy, and will be transformed to fat, if you consume too much of it. 4. Avoid preprocessed food with added and often hidden fat or sugar Some food contains a great amount of hidden fat or sugar, especially fast food, snacks or preprocessed food. * Therefore you should avoid eating much of products like: cakes, sweet drinks, snacks, chocolate, ice-cream or fast-food. * You should also buy all the food you use in a natural form, and make your dishes yourself. Then you achieve an absolute control over the amount of fat and sugar in your dishes. 5. Eat less altogether, but do not starve yourself Having reduced the amount of sugar and fat from your diet, you may fall to the temptation of eating more than before, because the new composition of your food does not satisfy your hunger. You should be aware of, and avoid this trap. * When trying to loose weight, you should reduce the total amount of the food you eat. * However, you should not starve yourself. To starve will only make you tired and sick, and then make you interrupt your efforts to get slim. 6. Eat regularly Regular eating habits will give you a stable blood sugar level, help you control your appetite and normalize your fat burning physiology. * You should eat three or four meals each day. * Each meal should contain the same moderate amount of sugar and fat. * Each meal should contain some protein sources like fish, meat, eggs, mushrooms or protein-rich seeds, and in every means be as nutritionally complete as possible. 7. Increase your daily physical activity Physical activity increases fat burning and will help you control your appetite. * Do some daily exercises of a kind that increases energy consumption: Jogging, cycling, swimming, ball play, skiing, and so on. * Do also some exercises to increase your muscular volume, since muscles will burn fat, for example weight lifting. 8. Find some new hobby or interest If you find yourself some new hobby or leisure activity, you will avoid boredom and the temptation to over-eat because you are bored. Try also to do interesting activities together with other people. The new activities will also give you less time to only sit eating. 9. Eat healthy food to increase your fat burning capacity It is not possible to loose weight without sticking to the above mentioned basic fat reduction principles, but you will also benefit from applying some measures that will increase your ability to passively burn fat: * Eat as natural food as possible, avoid food that has been heavily cooked, heavily fried or chemically processed. Natural food has its content of protein, vitamins minerals and anti-oxidants intact, and these are necessary for the fat burning abilities. * Eat some raw fruit and vegetables to each meal, since these contain vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidants you need. * You may benefit from supplements of vitamins, minerals, herbs, anti-oxidants, as these will make your body more capable of burning fat. * The little fat you use in your diet, should come from sources like olive, peanuts, canola, fish, nuts, sun-flower, etc. Then you will get a good balance between mono-unsaturated fat (olive, canola, and peanuts), poly-unsaturated fat of the omaga-3-type (fish) and poly-unsaturated fat of the omega-6-type (sunflower). * Consume whole cereals or bread made from whole unrefined cereals. * There are also natural products on the market you can use to increase your break down and burning of fat. 10. Bring your appetite under control Many of the measures already listed, will also help you to control your appetite. If this still is difficult, this problem may be attacked by specific means: * You can use some medicines to reduce appetite for some time or to reduce the uptake of fat or carbohydrates in your intestines. There are both natural medicines based on herbs, vitamins and minerals and pharmacological products to achieve this. * Daily meditation can help to relax your mind and gain control. * Psychological counseling may be necessary. 11. The ratio between fat and sugar in your diet The total mount of fat and carbohydrates combined, is a key factor in causing obesity, not fat alone or carbohydrates alone. In some weight loosing regimes, one eats very little carbohydrates, and fairly much fat. In others one eats fairly much carbohydrates, and very little fat. The proponents of each type of regime claim that their approach helps the body to burn fat better. Probably people are different, and react differently when trying to manipulate the diet in these ways. As a first approach, it is probably not wise to try such extreme approaches. However, if you have brought your eating habits under control, and still not achieved a satisfactory result, you can try to manipulate the fat/carbohydrate ratio to see if this will help. But do not stop consuming fat altogether. You will always need some essential fatty acids in your diet. CARRYING OUT YOUR PLAN Having made your plan for your weight reduction, the time has come to carry it out. After each week, go through the points in your plan, and evaluate how well you did. Also check your weight. Write down for every point in your plan how well you did.

Experience Flax Seed Weight Loss

By Mindi Haehl Make dieting tasty and achievable Everyone knows that eating salads with no dressing and running on a treadmill for hours on end is definitely no fun. Yet each day, millions of people keep jumping on the treadmill as well as making eating a tasteless chore. So why in the world do people put themselves through this agony? They do it for the sake of weight loss. Unfortunately, most people give up on shoveling bland food into their mouths and tiresome workouts, which often puts them back to where they started and with nothing to show for their efforts. Little do they know, this process can be made a lot simpler with the addition of flax seed to their diet. Fatty acids found in flax seed aid weight loss Flax seed weight loss is a new concept to most people. One that still puzzles them even after it is explained. Flax seed weight loss actually occurs because of the presence of two fatty acids contained in flax seeds oil known as Linolenic (Omega 3) and Linoleic (Omega 6). The fact that two sources of fat can help with weight loss often confuses people. But when combined, these two fatty acids work together to become prostaglandins, which in turn, play a big role in calorie burning throughout the body. Not limited to weight loss benefits, prostaglandins also help control cholesterol, body temperature, the immune system, brain functions, and the cardiovascular system. Flax seed provides all necessary nutrients Though Omega 3 is found in other foods, the typical person doesnt consume enough of it to produce the same results as seen with flax seed weight loss. Omega 6 is found in lots of different foods, but without Omega 3, it will never become a prostaglandin. Thats why it is necessary to supplement a regular diet with flax seed in order to ensure that one is getting enough Omega 3, because it is often scarce in a normal diet. So next time you go to climb on the exercise bike or ingest those vanilla flavored tofu bars, remind yourself of flax seed so that your life and weight loss aspirations can be made a easier and tastier.

Appetizers for Award-Winning Dinner Party Menus

By Jordi Shoman Planning a dinner parties and entertaining guests does not have to be a harrowing experience. If this is something you feel is completely out of your realm, stick with recipes that you have had success with in the past. You should never try out a new recipe at a dinner party without having at least experimented with it first. The kind of food you serve will also depend on the occasion and the number of guests you plan on inviting. If you know the people, you can make inquiries as to whether they have any food allergies, so you can be careful not to include these on the menu. All dinner parties start off with appetizers. Guests nibble on the hors d’oeuvres while they are waiting to sit down and they chat and discuss various topics. While you want to have a variety of appetizers available, you should not have so many that the guests will be too full to enjoy the meal. This is designed to be just a taste of your exquisite culinary skills. Some suggestions for appetizers include: * Fruit and Yogurt. An array of fruits with a yogurt dip. * Vegetable tray with a sauce for dipping. * Crab legs with a seafood sauce * Brushetta cut into small bite size pieces * Kabobs made with pineapple, mandarin oranges and cubes of cooked ham There are several ways you can serve the appetizers at your dinner party. If you have a large room, you can place trays of the appetizers at various points - on tables, coffee tables, etc. You can also serve the appetizers as you work your way through the guests. This also gives you a chance to chat with each one and make him/her feel welcome. One thing you do have to remember is that you need to have plenty of napkins for the guests to use.

Private Investigators � Do You Need One?

By Paul Callis There are many reasons why you may want something investigating. Whether it is business, relationships, family matters, or trouble in your neighborhood. The main reason in todays society is normally to find out if a partner is cheating on you. There can be a hundred and one different reasons why you have your suspicions. Maybe you are a little paranoid, but there is normally enough evidence for you to believe something is going on, as sometimes it is just to blatantly obvious. Your see changes in your partner such as major dieting, which is completely out of the blue and totally out of character of them. If your partner has been out of condition, over weight, and suddenly joins a gym, spends half of there day there, receiving more texts and calls than usual, or you find names on their phone you have never heard of, then eight out of ten times, something is going on. Maybe its time you joined the gym with them first and did some of your own private investigating. Mood changes, such as over the moon to be going out, and smelling like a bed of fresh roses, with all new clothes, just to go and see a friend pull the other one. They come back with a different smell glowing and gleaming, and then as soon as they set eyes on you or come into the same room, their attitude changes completely. Arguments start, picking at the silliest things, there is certainly a sign of some change. Hiring a private investigator can be one of the only avenues to go down. If you have tried yourself to get to the bottom of it, spoken to your friends and tried your best to get as much as possible out of their friends, then if all is still unsuccessful and you want to get to the bottom of all these strange times and changes, then you will have to take on a private investigator. They can cost anything from $60 per hour upwards and as much as several thousand per week, depending on the time involved to locate the problem. All in all it is money well spent if you get to the bottom of it all, sort out the issues, and move on with both lives, as there is nothing pleasurable about cheating partners or corrupt workers, and it all at some stage has to stop.

Durable Garden Furniture: Wood Railings And Tables

By Andrew Caxton Your average wooden picnic table may see like an inconspicuous piece of garden furniture. Beware, though, as looks can be deceiving especially if you are all set on moving it about the yard. It may not look like much but a wooden picnic table is the toughest item of yard furniture to move. I set myself the goal to lose 10 pounds this summer. To increase the amount of exercise I take I took the step to volunteer for mowing the lawn on a weekly basis. It is not only a good workout in itself but also gives me a sense of accomplishment when I am done. A great benefit of mowing the lawn is that you exercise naturally yet you dont even think about it. By adding mowing the lawn to your weekly routine will get your garden looking fantastic while keeping you in shape, especially if you add attempting to move a wooden picnic table to the equation. The whole thing usually takes about an hour, during which my husband looks after our daughter. As I get to think, tend to the lawn and exercise all at once they get a good opportunity to bond. The first time I ever set out to mow the lawn I made it my mission to cut each and every rogue blade of grass that I could get to with the mower. As the wooden picnic was set on the lawn area I needed to move it to get to the grass underneath. After about eight minutes of trashing about with this incredibly heavy piece of furniture I decided to switch the mower off. Still I could not get the table to move. I had no clue just how heavy this thing was. My best efforts proved futile and after a while I resumed mowing around it. At least the whole endeavor amused the rest of the family as my husband and daughter laughed at my attempts to move the table. These days I just mow around it: my husband is quite skillful at trimming under the table with a weed whacker after I am done. This little incident gave me a new awareness of our wooden picnic table, and of how well it is made. I now appreciate that we have a very solid piece of furniture in our garden which will most certainly not get blown away by the wind.

How to Communicate Effectively in Troubled Times

By Nancy E. Schwartz In troubled times – be it war, a shaky economy, or political uncertainty – it’s harder than ever to engage your audiences. There’s just so much on everyone’s mind. So how do you keep communication going, as it must, during this time? Communications experts tell us that nonprofits (and other organizations) should expand their communication efforts during war and economic downturn, with an increased focus on fact-driven messages. A recent article in PR Week reports results of a survey of journalists nationwide who almost unanimously urge organizations to “communicate factually, frequently, and consistently.” “Use this time wisely,” say the journalists, “to position yourself.” Offhand, I agree with survey findings. It is important to continue to reach your audiences during this time, especially to reassure them that your organization is still here and still working hard to address the issues on which you focus. Remember, people don’t stop volunteering, advocating, or giving during tough times. They simply are likely to deliberate more carefully, and more slowly, on where to direct their resources. I suggest the following: • As always, make sure that your organization has a compelling mission and a unique approach to delivering products, programs, and/or services. Once that’s in place, design or refine a potent brand. (Branding is the art of creating a consistent, recognizable, and clear unified voice or personality that conveys your organization’s uniqueness, focus, and values.) Once you’re confident that your brand is on target, stick to it, rather than focusing on short-term needs or concerns. • Review your messages to ensure that they are relevant in the current environment. Evolve the messages to make sure that they match the world your audiences are living in today. • Take advantage of the hyper-focused landscape to speak with a larger voice and define yourself in a somewhat less cluttered marketplace. • Put more online communications strategies to work – e-newsletters, web sites with strong content, and more. Online communications usually provide more value for price and, in addition, are more measurable than many other communications strategies. Nancy E. Schwartz helps nonprofits succeed through effective marketing and communications.

Reiki Certification

By Eric Hartwell Reiki certification is not merely a certificate but is a treasure that is a measure of hard work, perseverance and personal growth and transformation. One of the things that are a necessity for Reiki practitioner is a certification wherein their school, their Master or Masters as may be the case and their level is declared, this is a way to sift the genuine from the fake, always receive Reiki from a certified practitioner only. Every different school or tradition follows a different line of belief and thus while some schools may offer 3 levels, there are others who offer four and some even go up to a higher number of seven and above. This is basically a gradation of the levels of proficiency in channeling Reiki energy and the different techniques that bring more adeptness. Primarily there are the three levels or degrees. Heres a basic overview of what the levels entail, note that is for a basic course containing 4 levels and it may vary from school to school and from Master to Master. First Degree (Level 1) Reiki: In the beginning level you an expect information like a brief history of Reiki, its lore and mythos, importance and about the various different traditions and branches and worldwide Reiki associations. Self-healing methods are also taught along with the various hand positions and practical applications of Reiki in daily life. Second Degree (Level 2) Reiki: Only after the initiate has successfully completed Level 1 and have been successfully practicing Reiki can enroll for Level 2 which is more advanced and requires greater channeling proficiency. In this level the first three sacred Reiki symbols are taught with their origins, meanings and the techniques to utilize them to their fullest. Also techniques for absentee or distance healing and healing mental disorders are also imparted at the Second Degree Level. Third Degree (Level 3) Reiki: Far more advanced this level covers Personal Mastery and intuitive methods and people who have been continuously working with Reiki energy and feel ready to make a transition. Students at this level are taught to build energy grids and work with crystals for continuously sending out positive Reiki energy into the world to promote world peace and bring about harmony and balance. Working with psychic energy blocks and removing chakra blocks and healing the aura are also part of this level. Master or Teacher Level Reiki: This is for students who wish to teach Reiki to others. This is a very high level and is available to only a privileged few. Attunement techniques and gaining more energy are included in the lessons along with integrating Reiki as a way of life. It needs a lifelong pledge to the system of Reiki. Some schools may like to break this level into smaller chunks to facilitate the learning process and dedicate more time and energy to singular tasks. Furthermore in Usui Reiki Ryoho Gakkai’s system of Reiho the proficiency levels are also divided accordingly where there are six levels of proficiency and there is a ranking scheme where six is the beginners level and it continues where the student gets acquainted with different Shoden techniques and at third rank Okuden or Second Degree techniques are taught which are broken down further into Okuden Zenki, Okuden Koeki and Shinpiden Levels, Dr.Usui placed himself at Rank 2. Till date no human has reached Rank 1 because that is reserved for the Divine. It is possible also to have more ranks and levels. After the student has completed a level they are issued with a certification for that level. However Reiki does not merely depend on a certification, it is important to keep studying and practicing it on a regular basis to achieve a higher level.
