Do you really want it
Is it really worth it
Every bite counts
Treat your body with respect

I know most people that are on a weight loss plan or a diet,that is the most favored of words,associate it with doing without something they like. They will think of deprivation and hunger,it does not have to be that way.Make a plan, read up on good foods, EAT BREAKFAST wake your body up, DONT let it go into starvation mode. 5 to 6 meals a day is a good thing never real hungry never real full.Compose a list of foods you like that are healthy, Make up a few simple meals that have little prep time. The less you have to think about food the easier it gets. You get home you pop that sweetpotatoe in the oven toss that salad fix that piece of fish or chicken 20 minutes, you are eatin a healthy supper, and there are no leftovers ;-) I know I make it sound easy to eat healthy and it really is. If you put your mind to it you can accomplish anything. It is mind over matter. In this case it does matter, alot of us are middleaged and are heading toward the senior years and time is not gettin any slower.We need to fight old age every step of the way reverse our biological clock. I am goin to be like the timex watch , I am goin to keep on ticking.

cya soon

DC CAMP AND BACK AGAIN

HEY GUYS
I was in the nations capitol this weekend for a fantastic fitness camp with Tony Horton, Creator of the p90x program I am currently using. The weekend consisted of an informal rock climbing outing Friday night after checking into the Hotel, that was an experience I will never forget. We climbed walls that were straight up and some that were inverted, I managed to get up most of them, that was quite a workout in itself.
Saturday morning we assembled at 8AM for a workout led by Tony Horton, these workouts are very intense and on the average I burned 700 calories for the hour. There was an additional workout Saturday plus a workshop on proper form.
Sunday the beatings continued as we were led through an hour of vinyosa power yoga , had breakfast then another seminar. This seminar was very interesting and he spoke on a small part of the brain in the frontal lobe called the hippo campus , it is about the size of the thumbnail part of your thumb and is responsible for your sense of well being, 20 minutes of cardio exercise a day stimulates this part of the brain and has been found to battle depression and help fight Alzheimer's.
This was a fantastic fun filled weekend shared with people from all over the country and Canada with no common interests other than to be healthy and fit, and the desire to share that health and fitness with others
cya soon
