Lilli Ewing 3

Working out is hard to do - especially if you don't make a habit of it. Bobby Fischer (the late chess player) used to prepare himself for grueling chess matches by working out in the pool - swimming dozens of laps - and drinking lots of orange juice. One cannot be in good mental shape unless one is in great physical shape. A sound mind in a sound body, remember? If you find yourself in an obesity rut, do what Lilli Ewing does - work out and make it part of your routine. Would you like it if someone gave you a ten pound sack of potatoes and forced you to lug it around for no reason? If you are over your sensible weight, that's exactly what you're doing - burdening your body and your precious heart. Acai berries might help, too. I shouldn't be talking - I'm four pounds overweight. In case you are wondering - that's Lilli Ewing on the left - she lives in Seattle - champion bodybuilder.

Discipline

Discipline is a wonderful thing. You can tell by the fruit you reap from exercising a little discipline, whether it's for your professional work life, or your social life, or your student life, or your spending habits, or your health. It pays to harness the power of discipline. Lilli Ewing is a champion bodybuilder thanks to her disciplined workouts. See what discipline has done for her and follow her example. She lives in Seattle - lucky Seattle!!!!

EASIYO and Lilli Ewing

Now hear this: "The food we eat, the life we lead, illness and the ageing process can all disrupt our internal balance. Eating freshly-made EASIYO yogurt every day could really help. EASIYO is Nutrient-dense. For relatively few calories, freshly-made EASIYO yogurt is full of protein, calcium and essential vitamins and minerals to help provide the elements for growth and a good constitution." I got this from their own advertisement. I had never heard of this yogurt brand since I buy mine at Wal-Mart - it looks mighty interesting. Look Lilli Ewing up on MySpace and get yourself motivated to exercise, too. You will be very glad you did. A good diet and lots of exercise - what more do you need? Money?

Lilli Ewing 2

I used to think bodybuilding was an odd thing to do but not anymore. Look at Lilli Ewing - champion bodybuilder. If all young people (and older people for that matter) followed her example, this country would not have an obesity problem. It would also not have so many health issues. We would feel spectacularly well. It's not necessary to develop your body to the extent Lilli Ewing has - she does it because she is a professional trainer and a competitor (Like Arnold, the Governor of California) - but we can all benefit greatly by taking exercise more seriously. And the discipline that working out develops will help us tremendously as well. See for yourself - http://bodyspace.bodybuilding.com/LilliMarlene/

Acai Berries

Be careful with the ad for Acai Berries. It's a good deal if you're getting the bottle for shipping cost only, but read the fine print. You might even be charged just $1.00, as I was. However, if you don't cancel within the fourteen day trial period, your card will be charged for one month's supply which will be shipped automatically - about $90.00. That's a forty five day supply for $90.00. If it works as well as they say, maybe it will be worthwhile - that's $2.00 per day. Good luck and good health to you.

Biggest loser

Jillian Michaels has these tips for us. Enjoy

1.) DON'T APOLOGIZE FOR SELF-PRESERVATION. "Why should we apologize for the practices that help us manage the symptoms while we deal with the real reasons we eat? I pour candle wax on my food at restaurants," Jillian admitted. "Not wanting to 'waste food' is a poor excuse for ending up far worse off later on, dealing with all the health problems that come with obesity."

2.) RUN. I asked Jillian if running really is the best form of cardio for weight loss. "Absolutely," she said. "There are lots of great ways to get your heart rate up, but if you want to see the pounds melt off, running is the fastest way. But I get that not everyone is built for it--knee problems, tight IT bands, heel spurs; I get it." Whatever you do, she said, "Don't forget the weights! The more muscle you build, the faster your metabolism will run."
3.) THE BIGGEST LOSER IS NOT REALITY. "You don't watch the Olympics and think, Hmm, I should swim for 6 hours a day like Michael Phelps, do you? But you might think about joining a pool and swimming a few times a week," she said. That's what Jillian wants people watching TBL to think, too: "If these people can lose ten pounds in two weeks, maybe I can lose ten pounds in a couple of months." She adds: "I want people to realize their own potential; I meet people all the time who never thought of themselves as athletic, but now? They truly are athletes."
4.) FORGET WILLPOWER. "Losing weight is not about willpower--it's about moments of bravado, like the moment when you ask your waiter to take the bread away from the table right away."
5.) JUST SAY THANK YOU. When I told Jillian how much weight I've lost, she congratulated me. And then (as I always do), I added, "But I still have a long way to go." "Cool," she said.
