I’ve been reading a number of great books lately. Two main categories: politics and nutrition. Here are the ones I’d recommend… Liberty and Tyranny: A Conservative Manifesto by Mark R. Levin. One of the most read and talked about books at present – and for good reason. Man, is this interesting. If you ever wanted [...]

Years ago I established the habit of doing a big picture review of major areas of my life. Here’s my Top Ten Actions for the New Year: Review habits of spending time with God, your spouse, and your children. Plan to keep your”saw sharpened.” (Stephen Covey made this analogy well known. The idea is to [...]

Climb Michi’s Ladder
June 16th, 2008 · No Comments · Health, Nutrition
In my earlier post regarding how I’ve lost 15 pounds so far, I listed my fourth lifestyle change as eating 5-6 smaller meals each day, focusing on foods in the top 2 tiers of Michi’s Ladder. I was introduced to Michi’s Ladder when I purchased a product from Beachbody.com a few years ago. It is [...]

Exercise Validated…again
May 31st, 2008 · No Comments · Exercise, Health
While on vacation, I was able to keep up my daily walking and I even got in a couple days of weight training at the resort where we stayed. However, I wasn’t able to completely maintain my exercise schedule as at home and I couldn’t duplicate my routine without my Total Gym – I missed [...]
The Total Gym For At-Home Strength Training
May 14th, 2008 · No Comments · Exercise, Health
In my last post, I said I chose the Total Gym when I quit the fitness club to do my strength training at home. I’ve had quite a few questions over the last few months as to how I made my decision. My final consideration was between the Total Gym and the Bowflex. There’s quite [...]

Add Strength Training To Your Exercise Routine (part 2)
May 13th, 2008 · No Comments · Exercise, Health
Strength training, particularly lifting weights, can be intimidating to some. It sounds like such hard work; aka painful. Perhaps you’ve had an experience where you started lifting weights and over did it – too much weight, too fast – then painfully and embarrassingly hobbled around for several days. For some, it may be overwhelming to [...]

Add Strength Training To Your Exercise Routine
May 12th, 2008 · No Comments · Exercise, Health
Earlier I wrote about how I’ve lost 15 pounds since the first of the year (now 18 pounds). In addition to increasing my intake of purified water and walking 30 minutes a day/6 days a week, I added strength training to my weekly exercise routine. I’ve known about the value of strength training and have [...]

A Daily Walk For Better Health
May 6th, 2008 · No Comments · Exercise, Health
In my earlier post outlining several changes I made for better health at the beginning of 2008, I listed a daily walk for 30 minutes, at least 6 days a week. It may seem like a small thing but what a difference it makes. I mainly walked on a treadmill the last few months due [...]
Not All Water Is Equal – Or Healthy
April 24th, 2008 · No Comments · Health, Nutrition
Not only do we need a sufficient quantity of water each day, we need quality water. It’s probably no surprise that tap water doesn’t come close to any definition of quality. What may be a surprise, however, is that not all bottled water is quality water. The problem with bottled water is that it is [...]

How Much Water Should You Drink?
April 22nd, 2008 · No Comments · Health, Nutrition
One of the first improvements to make for better health is to drink plenty of pure water. Even if you know you should drink more water, there’s a good chance you aren’t drinking as much as you think. The rule of thumb you’ll most likely hear is eight 8-ounce glasses each day. That’s probably better [...]
