Easy Sensible Weight Loss

Posted by: DR  //  Category: Uncategorized


Weight loss
is not an easy thing to accomplish but can be done. Since my daughter was born fifteen months ago, I have lost a little over sixty pounds. The two most important factors in weight loss are eating less and moving more. The main thing to keep in mind while working toward losing weight is to maintain a healthy lifestyle and to try not to lose weight drastically. If you stick with your new eating and exercise habits then your weight
loss goals should be happily met.

The first thing to think about when working toward losing weight is to eat less. The average diet consists of about two thousand calories per day. While trying to lose weight, you can go as low as one thousand two hundred calories per day and still maintain a healthy lifestyle. Also, you have to remember to eat the right kinds of foods. Chow down on the fresh fruits and vegetables. Try to stay away from anything with sugar, and anything that is fried. When cooking, use the no-calorie spray butter instead of the real thing.

Switch to skim milk instead of whole milk. Also, at the beginning of the week, make out a healthy menu for the week and go by the menu when making your grocery list; this way, you will not buy things you will not need to be eating, plus it saves you money. Stick with the portion sizes listed on the food packages as well. When first starting to eat the right size portions, it may not seem like much food, but it is plenty to keep your body satisfied and healthy.

The second half to weight loss is to start moving more. It is recommended to at least walk briskly for about thirty minutes each day. If you have kids, you know this is not a problem. Take the dog for a walk a couple times a day; if not for yourself, for the dog because they need exercise too. Get together with a few friends from the neighborhood
and share the local gossip as you take a walk around the block a few times. Take a few laps around the backyard. Going shopping counts too! Pushing a fully-loaded cart around inside the grocery store is crazy good exercise. You not only get lots of walking time in, you give your arms a workout too by
pushing and turning that heavy grocery cart.

Another thing to remember where weight loss is concerned is to lose weight in a healthy way. The most healthy weight loss occurs when only two to three pounds are lost each week. This may not seem like much but it is important to keep your body healthy and not traumatize it by losing fifty pounds overnight. You may lose up to five pounds the first week or two and that is alright because you have made drastic changes to your diet and exercise habits; but after the first two weeks try to stick with two to three pounds per week.

Another option you may want to consider is a good weight loss pill. If you go this route, just remember that there is no such thing as a miracle pill. You will have to watch your diet as well. But weight loss pills can help.

Always consult a physician before taking any supplement or starting a new diet and exercise program.

Some Useful Top Lists I Just Created

Posted by: DR  //  Category: Uncategorized

I just created a few lenses on squidoo, one ranking my top 10 scariest movies ever and the other with some short reviews on the top GPS systems. I recently went on a road trip and honestly probably would never have made it back had it not been for my trusty Garmin! :)

Anyway here are the links to the lists…

Top 10 Scariest Movies Ever - Everybody loves a good scary movie. The next time you are in the mood for a freight, just check out my list and take your pick. I watch a lot of movies and even though there have been some great new additions to the horror genre recently (the Saw series among others), you’ll notice that my list is dominated with all the classics. I tried hard to fit in some of the more modern efforts but I couldn’t not include any of those in my top 10. The Silence Of The Lambs is the youngest of the lot and it was released 17 years ago. So come on horror directors/writers, get the finger out! :)

Now here is my second lens about GPS systems that will help you to find driving directions quickest. In my opinion in the not too distant future not carrying a quality GPS system will become as rare as not carrying a time piece. More than likely peoples watches will include GPS systems built in.

And if none of this interests you, why not entertain your family and friends and learn card tricks

Having trouble finding the right weight loss product?

Posted by: DR  //  Category: Uncategorized

I was having the same problem. With so many different claimed ways of losing this many pounds in so many days from so many sources it just began to be a blur. It seemed like I would never be able to make up my mind and choose the one that was right for me. Especially since they all seem to say lose weight fast or something to that affect!

I took a little time to do some research on the topic and found a review on some of the top ones on the market. There were like 10 of them to look at. But there was one that caught my eye because it spoke of not only having a diet that was proper for your body where you didn’t have to starve yourself! It also explained how you could rid yourself of toxins and parasites as well which many people don’t know they have in the first place.

As I read this review, I found out that the creator of this product is a female doctor who actually through testing found out that these parasites within us, can not only make you sick but can also make it difficult for people to succeed with there weight loss goals. It also said that the weight loss industry in general wasn’t happy with her releasing this because now people would actually know how to lose weight fast and to be able to regain there health and most of all keep it! So other diet products and services, like the ones that you buy expensive foods or diet pills etc., knew that once there customers found out about her secret. It was over for them and so was the millions that they rip off people for every year.

After checking out others I knew I had to give Dr. Suzanne’s a fair shot. I had bought the food before on another diet and it was just way to expensive for me. There is no food with hers which was perfect for me! Cheaper already I thought as I purchased her e-book. I’m so glad I did too, I just followed her directions to the letter and have lost 17 pounds so far as of this morning. I have about 9 or 10 more to go. When I lose that I’ll be in the best shape I’ve been in, in 7 years! So if your looking for a diet that works, here’s my advice. Find one for less than a hundred that has a money back guarantee like hers does and follow it to the letter!

History of the Flight Jacket

Posted by: DR  //  Category: Uncategorized

As early as World War I when airplanes had open cockpits, pilots began seeking clothing to provide warmth and comfort in the cold temperatures of the open skies.  Thus the birth of the legendary “Bomber Jacket” or “Flight Jacket” was born.

Over the years, there have been many variations from the unofficial and popular early leather bomber jackets of 1915 through 1917 to later official military issue bomber jackets such as the 1931 “A2 Bomber Jacket.” 

Originally, pilots and crews wore whatever they could find because no formal or official clothing was issued to handle the extreme cold and weather conditions the pilots faced in world war I.  Heavy long leather jackets quickly became popular with tight snug cuffs around the writs, tight fit around the waists, and high collars to help protect from the cold.  These are the design principles that are at the core of what today we commonly think of as a flight jacket or bomber jacket.

At the end of world war I, the US army created the Aviation Clothing Board and started distributing these heavy leather jackets.

By the time World War II broke out, the US Air Corp was distributing the A2 Bomber Jacket.  The Navy and Marine Corp were issued a similar jacket that became known as the G-1.

As aircraft technology developed throughout the war, airplanes were now flying at much higher altitudes and much higher speeds.  Temperatures inside these planes – often flying with open doors – plummeted!    And the stylish bomber jackets started to give way to a much warmer jacket with a lining of wool or fur.  These new jackets were popularized by the B3 Bomber Flight Jacket, a large wool and fur lined jacket with large cargo pockets.

Ground personnel and flight crews quickly adopted the pilot’s B3 Bomber Jacket and the new B7 Flight Jacket became the instant rage.

A decade later introduced the new age of the jet with its enclosed compartments and more attention needed to be paid to the warmth, comfort, and safety of the pilots.  The B-15 Flight Jacket was designed out of nylon and other synthetic materials to keep the pilot both warm and dry.  The lighter weight and more flexible comfort was also appreciated.  As jet technology continued to develop, the MA-1 jacket removed the fur collars because they interfered with the harness of the pilot’s parachute.  Today, you can often find both the B-15 and the Leather MA1 Flight Jackets with and without the fur collars.

A classic flight jacket or bomber jacket is consider a both a stylish and practical piece of clothing.  Suitable for a night out on the town or a practical outdoor excursion – and should be in every man’s closet.

Surviving the Current Financial Meltdown

Posted by: DR  //  Category: Uncategorized

Current Financial Crisis

In the current climate of apparent worldwide financial meltdown there are many who will not survive. There are some who will not only survive but will benefit from the misfortune of others. However for the majority it is a question of surviving and getting through it. If your business is on a sound financial footing and you have money in the bank (Providing your bank is not one that has gone bust!) then this will be beneficial in the coming months. So we are back to good old cash flow and monitoring.

You may even be able to reduce employee salaries for a period of time, rather than lay-offs, with a promise of bonuses when things recover. This is what JCB in Britain have done recently.

Tighten your Belt - No need for fancy spending

Cut out unnecessary spending, no perks on the business such as lunches to woo customers. They don’t need it and they will appreciate you being prudent if it means you stay in business and continue as their valued suppliers.

Managing directors show the way by taking a py cut yourself and tighten your own belt. There is nothing worse than asking other people to manage on less when you don’t yourself.

Avoid buying anything unless you absolutely have to. It’s amazing how you can manage without for a period of time using up existing stocks and making sure that waste is reduced to a minimum.

Look for bargains in purchasing.

When you do have to procure goods to run the business, make sure you look out for bargains or negotiate for a better deal than you may have achieved previously. When times are tough, sales with no profits are better than nothing and there are some good deals to be had. One company I recently heard about sold a house for half the price when a customer came along with a cash offer.

Do your customers have financial stability?

Find out the financial viability of your best customers. When the income of a customer falls then their ability to purchase goods and services is affected. If they are able to pay, then you will be able to pay your suppliers. One of our customers a Planning Consultant had a very large customer go into liquidation owing about £10,000. This was a lot of money to lose, but he survived because his business was very healthy with good cash flow.

Try not to borrow money

When the world is in a financial crisis it is better not to borrow money if you can help it. If you have already borrowed significant sums of money then make sure you talk to your bank and get the best deal on repayments you can. If it’s possible to repay a chunk of money do so to reduce the interest you are paying out. To me interest is money Down the drain and this is not good money management. Having said all that, the interest rate in America is just over 1% and recently rates have been radically reduced in the UK. But that in itself is what caused this whole financial mess in the first place. People borrow money cheaply then re-lend it at a higher rate of interest and take the difference in profit. Once the interest rate rises to a more normal level they will bail out and take their billions off to buy an island somewhere while everyone else pays the price.

Stay in a positive frame

By this I do not mean be in denial and pretend the world is not going through a tough time. But if you are continually thinking and worrying about the negative aspects of the financial situation, then you are likely to make it come true. Don’t forget you get what you wish for and by concentrating on something then it will work like a wish, so why not concentrate on ways of getting new customers, giving better value to your existing customers and how your company could offer new products or services to your existing customer base?

You only have to survive

The world financial situation at the moment, I realise, is much more complicated than is indicated above. But the simple ways of dealing with crisis can often be the best option. Cut everything down to the bone and think about the days when people did not have such complicated lives. They managed their businesses without a web designer or a water cooler. In the past there was no such thing as glass recycling and look what the Victorians did with the limited resources they had at their disposal.

Conclusion

Now I am not suggesting that we should go back to the good old days. What I am saying is that we might think we can’t manage without all our latest gadgets but the reality is that we can do more with a great deal less, as long as we put ourselves into the right frame of mind and think positively about what we can achieve rather than what we haven’t got. Good luck for a healthy future.

Countdown to Retirement

Posted by: DR  //  Category: Uncategorized

It is that time in my life that I am thinking about retirement and where to relocate.

I am toggling back and forth with staying in the same area I live in now to be close to family and friends or move to a place with milder winters. A few weeks ago I visited a retirement community in my area and loved the layout and all the amenities. I was pretty sure I would mail in my application and deposit to get on their priority list.

Those thoughts only lasted a few days. Within a few days the weather changed to cold and damp and that triggered my memory about the reasons I should relocate to a warmer climate. My aching swollen knees. I have arthritis and the flare up is caused by dampness and cold. The summers here in the east are warm but humid and the swelling and pain flares up because of the humidity but I can escape the humidity into air conditioning. No matter what I ca not seem to escape the dampness in the fall and winter.

I found out recently massages and exercise seems to help but only for a short time. So once again New Mexico sounds really good. 350 days of sunshine in a dry climate sounds fantastic but I really will miss everyone here.

It is really disturbing to endure the effects of aging. I recall when I was younger how it bothered me to see someone close to me change dramatically with old age. I have very nice skin but even I can see an enormous change in my face from aging. I observe those same looks of concern in my kids faces that I had as a young person watching a loved one age. I hope the concern is enough that they will come visit in New Mexico when I move.
