Keeping Track

Author: Marc, December 31st, 2009

When trying to get back to your old shape, it seems like you are working hard and getting nowhere. Things are really happening, but sometimes they are so subtle in the beginning, they may not be that visual. The first thing you should do is to keep track of your body measurements.  You need to [...]

The Accidental Pedestrain (TAP) Dancing Through the Snow

Author: Marc, December 29th, 2009

Here in tropical KC having a foot of snow covering the ground and drifts up
to my waist look strange.  It’s an alien lanscape out there.  The streets have been plowed to within 2-3 feet of their curbs.  And since I don’t own snowshoes nor cross country skis, I am walking in the narrowed bits of street.

Be Real About Your Success!

Author: Marc, December 27th, 2009

It would be great if you could train for a week and see magical results, but that’s not how Getting in Shape and improving your health works. Just like Getting out of shape does not happen in one day, you will not see results immediately when you start any type of fitness training program. Be [...]

The Accidental Pedestrian – Part II

Author: Marc, December 23rd, 2009

It’s been about two weeks now that I have officially been on foot.  My feet can attest to that.  They are a little sore.  It’s obvious my shoes are ready for a trade in.

Rest and Re-energize

Author: Marc, December 18th, 2009

Not enough sleep can dramatically affect your current and future health. While you sleep, your body is recovering and resting from all the things you have done during your day. Your serotonin levels are brought back in line, your muscles relax, and your mind is allowed to clear itself in preparation for the next day’s [...]

The Accidental Pedestrian

Author: Marc, December 16th, 2009

I am officially a pedestrian.  Rather than repairing my 20 year old Jeep I sent it off to salvage with my blessing.  Granted, to be a pedestrian in north eastern Johnson County is to be an oddity.  But I’ve never been afraid to be a little bit different.  So, over the last week I’ve logged [...]

Q: What’s the difference between a portion and a serving?

Author: Marc, December 10th, 2009

A: A “portion” is how much food you choose to eat at one time, whether in a restaurant, from a package, or in your own kitchen. A “serving” size is the amount of food listed on a product’s Nutrition Facts. Sometimes, the portion size and serving size match; sometimes they do not. Keep [...]

Smile, they’ll think you’re up to something!

Look Slimmer Immediately!

Author: Marc, December 1st, 2009

Selene Yeager, Prevention magazine says,”Imagine if your belly always looked as good as it does when you turn sideways in the mirror and suck it in. Ab exercises can help, but 5—or even 50—minutes of crunches won’t do any good if you’re letting it all hang out for the remaining 23 hours of the day.”
