I thought the carts were for handicapped patrons. Overweightedness is not a handicap, it is simply not. The opportunity was ripe for a walk through the isles of the store; the temperature was refreshing too. I bet you she was being lazy.<br />The items in most people's carts were poor selections. Typically seen were overprocessed breads, sodas, can foods, packaged meats, etc. I sense people are passionate about eating, but not a healthful lifestyle.Michaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14525604314113285473noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3904387091272949552.post-34130774832398300612011-05-01T17:51:00.000-07:002011-05-01T18:00:51.850-07:00it has been a while since my last post.....i have not been consistent in my undertaking of a blog.

In comes three women of color. Seemingly reasonable minded.Two were large or big boned and the other was natural sized. The young large one you might say was super overweight. The other large one stood to loose some pounds as well. The third, non-obese one, had ordered a salad for starters-i was impressed, because i had the identical one myself; and the other two were eating in an assumed manner. "Oh, french fries are not a vegetable? How about this catsup? Tee he heee...The young obese woman disturbingly ate, with food in both hands. She also ordered a side of mayo to spread across her already pre-condimented sandwich bread. She made me giggle, as she ordered the proverbial "diet soda." What's up with that?<br />I can not imagine the U.S. president sitting down with her to explain increased healthcare expenses, because she would not understand her roll in all of this.Michaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14525604314113285473noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3904387091272949552.post-74427770604132087562009-05-17T13:31:00.000-07:002009-05-17T13:52:32.505-07:00TIP OF THE DAY<br /> Make rubberized resistance bands your exercise tool.<br />They are inexpensive, convenient, and effective.<br />Especially good for non-exercisers, as well as athletes.<br />They are easy to use<br />and you can do workouts almost anywhere.<br /> Other advantages are:<br />the band is very effective for bone health as a weight-bearing exercise<br />the band is uniquely effective in building core strength and balance<br />the band helps alleviate "old" tension patterns because it serves to elongate muscle<br /> You may use these cords at home for whatever circumstance that may present a time-constraint in your daily schedule.Michaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14525604314113285473noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3904387091272949552.post-84000024377042142882009-05-17T12:50:00.000-07:002009-05-17T13:12:10.290-07:00TIP OF THE DAY<br /><br />Hey, you're just making excuses! Adjust your attitude!<br />"I'm too busy,...too tired,....too bored,....not enough time."<br />None of them are <strong>valid reasons</strong>.<br />Personally, I had to stop making excuses and start taking care of myself.<br /><strong>TIME</strong> is the easiest cop-out for not exercising.<br />Also, I use to think of <strong>working-out</strong> as a chore. Now,<br />I look at it as a way to increase energy and relieve stress.<br />You know, find a workout buddy or an exercise class.<br />Being leaner, healthier, and sexier is something that you can't achieve overnight.<br />I've made a living out of working hard.<br />The Surgeon General's Report on Physical Activity and Health says that more than 60% of American adults are not regularly active, and 25% aren't active at all.<br />Start with three days per week of being active, and your body will thank you.Michaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14525604314113285473noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3904387091272949552.post-49925302740225116302009-04-26T12:21:00.000-07:002009-04-26T12:26:47.922-07:00hula hoop coordination and techniquespan ><embed src=" http://www.youtube.com/v/LmuMwh47CF4&hl=en&fs=1" width="425" height="355" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="samedomain"></embed></span>Michaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14525604314113285473noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3904387091272949552.post-35208264483527376092009-01-28T09:11:00.000-08:002009-05-17T14:00:41.791-07:00Stretching<span style="font-size:130%;color:#33ffff;">TIP OF THE DAY</span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;color:#33ffff;">STRETCHING</span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;color:#33ffff;"> How important is stretching? As we age, our muscles become increasingly inelastic. Stretching helps remove tightness from your <strong>muscles</strong>. <em>Stretching</em> transports oxygen to sore <strong>muscles</strong> and quickly removes toxin from <strong>muscles</strong>. A <strong>flexible</strong> body is more efficient, less prone to injury, stays balanced, and feels better. "And best of all? It doesn't cost a thing." </span>Michaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14525604314113285473noreply@blogger.com1
