Home Gym Update

I got a Gravitron (allows you to do assisted pull-ups) and home- sized leg press. It's taken me over a decade to slowly acquire all in my home gym. You don't need a full home gym to get started. One heavy-duty rubber band can get you going.

Too Much To Do: I Don't Have Time for This

Keeping up a website is a lot like trying to lose weight. Lots of good ideas, false starts and paths not taken, and still I sit with my big list of "Things To Do," and everything stays the same. Why is that? Inertia, perhaps or just "life intervenes." Be ready for it, and use EFT to get over the humps. When you start saying, "I don't have time to ..." or you find yourself not following through, just use EFT to work on that

"Even though I can't seem to get started, I deeply and completely accept myself."

"Even though I never finish what I start, I deeply and completely accept myself."

Use "what is" for your EFT wording. Don't try to get all fancy or figure out the perfect words. Just say what you're thinking and do a quick round of EFT. It can help you get past those roadblocks and onto the path of change or improvement.

YouTube and Good Intentions

YouTube.com is a site where you can post videos. Some are pretty funny, so I thought I'd post my famous, "Week 1" video from my good intentions file over a year ago. The idea was to video myself, once a week to show the subtle changes as I got fitter. The funny part was I never had a week two video. Procrastination rears its ugly head. I also found it hilarious how I kept saying the word "pose" over and over.

This video wasn't meant to be shown but I couldn't help myself, so here I am in all my Week 1 Weight Loss Glory

Supplement News: More on Diet Pills

There's never an end to the quest for a diet pill, although I don't believe that's the answer to rampant obesity. Take a pill, then what? Magically you no longer want to overeat or sit on the couch all day? I doubt it. It's just thinking it'll be easy that gets us all happy to try the latest new thing.

Acomplia is the latest entry into the diet drugs arena. Not yet approved for sale it first appeared promising but doubts are beginning to surface. Some trial users experienced depression, others who stopped using Acomplia after a year regained the weight they'd lost. So what else is new?

Do the drugs help or not? IMO (in my opinion) if you don't learn new, better habits, you're going to go back to doing whatever you did in the first place that caused you to become out of shape and overweight, so you'd be better off skipping the drugs. Instead work on your habits, one at a time, such as recommended in my 8-week course, Ending Emotional Eating.

New Sites Spotter

Healthy Dining Finder: Not everyone agrees with their recommendations, it's still a smart first step toward eating a better diet.

WeEndure.com Odd name, great site for tracking endurance activities

Sportsmates.com a new (and no longer found as of May 2014) social networking website with sports angle. Gives sports fans access to the latest sports news and information, blogs, discussion boards, and ability to interact with other fans in sometimes "heated" sports debate.

Energy Drink Reviews

Food Blogs

GroceryLists.org, grocery lists. That's it. Just grocery lists. I especially liked the "no one cares where you ate lunch" since I actually love reading those blogs of people who take pictures of their food and write about it. Guess there's an audience for anything.
