Reshape Your Mind To Change Your Body

Hello Fellow Working Moms (and Anyone Else Interested in Optimal Health),

Even though I've dedicated this blog to working moms, I have some amazing men networked through several social sites. There are weight lifters, yoga instructors and more looking at this blog. So..., as a promise to you, I've agreed to open the temple doors to share decades of masterful martial arts instruction. The goal in any post is to mirror back to you your grandeur and real power.

If you can accept the possibility that there is a force greater than ourselves, this is the first precept required for personal mastery. That means, you are your own power so anyone telling you that there's only 1 way to do anything isn't entirely correct.

The reality is that you carry an internal source of power I'd like to call a light bulb. You get so many minutes of energy each day. If you overspend your daily allottment of energy, you will feel a deficit the following day.

Now -- this primary thought moves us in empowered directions to reshape your body, if you can accept this attitude.

No matter what you've experienced in life, no matter how heavy or light you may be, you can change anything you don't like about yourself. I mean anything.

If you have addictions, you can clear them and reprogram them.

If you have beliefs holding you back, you can clear and reprogram.

This is higher work. What we're doing is tapping into exercise and healthy food to alter what you don't like about yourself.

Ask the masters.

Ask the weight lifters.

Ask the fitness coaches anything you wish.

If they are fit, they will have mastered these basic principles...telling you again and again:

1)...that you can change anything you presently don't like about yourself

(assuming you don't have a permanent disability or chronic condition limiting exercise levels)

2)...that when you master your food choices, you will alter the way you think
and feel about yourself WHEN you apply daily discipline to physical activitites.

Why I'm sharing this information now --

We have a lot of people stepping into the most amazing, grandest version of themselves!

We live in powerful times.

Want Proof?

You'll see these people change physically and mentally before your very eyes. It might take them a year or more of continuous effort but this fact is taking place, each and every day.

I will be offering specific exercises in the coming days ahead to help you easily begin these changes at home and outdoors (weather permitting)..., without joining a gym, without adding exercise equipment (per se), without having to buy a lot of stuff very soon. I'm presently playing with various options to bring you solid proof. If you like the gym -- great! If you like to use specific equipment -- that's great too. Point is -- I will offer a variety of tools/techniques/methods and mindsets to help you get what you want -- a healthy body and a healthier mind.

If you'd like to add any comments or positive thoughts helping others change their mindsets, please do so. You're more important to this world than anyone may possibly suggest.

Meeting Powerful CEO Women -- Glass Hammers

Hello Fellow Working Moms (and Anyone Else Interested in Solid Health),

When I was working my way through graduate business school, I was surprized to learn female led Fortune 500 companies were outperforming (more on average) traditional firms. The answer to this question had more to do with the way women share power.

But, by looking at some of the things other women do might offer you alternative insight. Change how you view yourself in the mirror and your body will eventually take on that new image. You have to be very patient with yourself and you must be diligent. The goal is to incorporate better ways of thinking about yourself, mastering your food choices over time, then adopting everyday ways to nurture yourself. Don't expect other people to do this for you, said with love. The reality is that you must care for yourself and only you can do this. Never look to another human being for validation. The strength we're talking about resides in you. It has always been you and that power comes from you. It does not emanate from an external force (another human being).

To better understand these powerful women, consider that if you identify with other caring and powerful women (who accept you for who you are unconditionally), then look to these women to see that they may have accomplished what you seek. We're talking about tapping into greater self worth and a powerful self-image, independently of what society defines. This self worth and self image has to be stable, in the face of other people's doubt for it to stick. I call this power the greater self.

So why not take a peek at what some of the Top Female CEO's of Fortune 500's? See what they're doing because they will mirror back to you what's already inside of you!

This Post Is Dedicated To Everyone, Younger Or Older

Welcome Friends,

Today -- thoughts turn to the bank bailout. Apologies for hitting this topic because it's a sensitive one for some. Investments are tanking big time for a lot of decent people. If you're asking what does this comment possibly have to do with good health..., well.., that's a very good question?

I'd like to suggest it has everything to do with living well, appreciating your family and your friends. While it's nice to have a bank account that's growing, you must also have your health. I'll share a story with you, one that's personal and close to my heart. It's something I don't talk about too often.

I had a sister who was vibrant and beautiful beyond all imagination. She was an attorney who had everything. But then one day, the family received a call "that Irene could no longer take care of herself". She was 53 and we were hugely surprized. Six shy months prior, Irene was running around from city-to-city..., adoring her travels, her job and life. We flew to her side to find out she was very sick. She had developed cancer. That's why I'm here now...to help others potentially alter their outcomes in a more favorable way. And, this work all starts and ends with consistent diet and exercise.

I'm sharing this story with you not to evoke tears. I'm sharing it to emphasize that life is precious. You never know when you'll have another decade ahead of you. Trouble can strike anyone at any time but I say this much with a light heart and a positive attitude. I'd like to think that most of us are here for the long run. Anyway, when the family heard what was really happening with this lady, she was in stage 4 progression. For those of you who've never witnessed cancer, stage 4 means the cancer has spread everywhere. In a majority of cases, there's not much science can do other than buy patients time -- time to address financial matters..., then visit with friends and family.

That's why you have everything if you're healthy. I will say that I love my fellow human beings. Each person is more important than one might say. You can't read enough about "How Special You Really Are To Someone Else...Until You're Gone...Can't Be Said Enough". This much is said with great respect and absolute care.

Take good care of your health. When the financial chips are down, it's all you have. You can still work. You can regrow your bank account. When your health is gone, everything else falls away, but as long as you have life, you have it by the reins.

To ensure you're eating well during these up-and-coming holidays, feel free to click on any of the links in this blog. Any link will do. You'll find recommendations for simple, inexpensive plans, located on the right-hand side of this blog.

These diets aren't processed. One of the names of the plans is rough and could be stated better so I will apologize on that point. There's a lot of raw food included -- fats, proteins and carbs are what nature intended. Do everything you can to reduce your sugar, eat in balance and take care of each other.

Sincerely Yours In Health,

Supporting Lean Muscle

Hey Working Moms,

Have been intending to share this product, if you haven't anything like it yet.

As with any fitness or health-related website, please keep in mind that careful discernment is required. Any information offered here is not meant to diagnose, treat or cure illness. Please see your doctor for any health-related questions or issues.

I'd like to introduc you to 'TRI - AMINO'.

This is an essential amino acid the body requires to burn protein. It helps to spare muscle loss, leading to increase weight gain of the undesireable body mass (fat).

Without it, we can the bottom sometimes even early in the day.

I recommend use of this product in the event you move around your house, but you don't tend to sit down long enough for recovery. If you're more sedentary -- it seems the older I get as I approach age 50, I do better in my day by using this product early in the AM. Many of the martial arts masters use this product.

Vitamin Cottage or Whole Foods --- Orange Label -- "NOW" -- this is the actual product name.

L-Arginine (1,200 mg)
L-Ornithine (1,000 mg)
L-Lysine (900 mg)

This blend is important.


EXPERIMENT:

Taking these in separate tablets didn't work too well, having tested separate ingredients over many years, comparing results to a blended form. This blend seems to metabolizes most readily, to support full protein metabolism -- 4 capsules taken 1 or more times each day with meals.

• You have to experiment with your own dosage because all individuals are different.
• Bicycling intensively uphill... or even doing martial arts forms (which can be intense), I don't 'hit rock bottom' using this amino acid. It takes the 'weak feeling' out of muscles during exercise...even if you're moving around the house.
• This blend helps you take care of your children, your housework and your regular work.
• It's affordable -- 120 capsules lasts me more than 1 month. I don't take it daily. I take it when I'm feeling the need for 'extra protein intake'.
• Not recommended for individuals who've had myocardial infarction or diagnosed coronary artery disease.
• Not recommend for individuals with glaucoma or herpes simplex, unless otherwise prescribed by a physician.

RESULTS:

Over a 6-month period of time, exercising 2X daily, I lost 10 pounds of body fat and went from a size 12 to a size 6.

MAINTENANCE:

As with any supplementation, the body adapts over time. Therefore, it's necessarily to periodically discontinue supplementation in favor of some type of an internal cleansing. See earlier post for this type of regimen.

I would suggest adding a natural appetite control of:

• Garcinia Cambogia Extract -- 500 mg, taken in 1 or 2 pills/2X each day with meals.
• This helps you master food choices so you can eat more lean protein instead of grabbing refined sugars (white breads...white rices..., white refined anything).
• RESOURCE -- find this product at www.tattvasherbs.com

ADDITIONAL HELP:

• More research is currently underway to offer you a safe complex burning more calories through what's called 'thermogenesis'.
• Green Tea Extract is a common alternative...but a blended complex would be better.

As with all supplements, find the ones that work for you. You don't have to buy a full cupboard of products. Some days you'll require only a few aids. Other days, you won't require much at all. Your body tends to reach for what it wants most.

Staying Fit -- Make a Small Change

Greetings Busy Working Moms and Fitness Buffs,

Just concluded mountain bicycling this morning.

Here's what came to mind to help you in the months ahead.

If you're watching the Olympics right now, this is the best time

to incorporate small changes.


Fortify your mindset with the power of the Olympics right now

and apply something great to your life. You're seeing athletes of all

ages working out. Their skin sparkles and they're looking great.

Why not take up walking or hiking or something beneficial?

Point is. You can look great at any age. I'll be 48 years young, early

next year.


If you haven't obtained your copy of my free salad recipes

guidebook, feel free to enter your information in the white boxes.

All information remains confidential. I don't sell your information

to any company and I won't be calling you on the phone.


Reduce Sugar Intake

One of the easiest things to alter in your diet without reducing

bulk is removal of excessive sugars in your diet. If you're saying, "Well...

I don't really eat a lot of sugary snacks, that may be true". As a reminder,

if you're not reading food labels, natural foods stores and your local supermarket

carry items overloaded with sugar. I'll admit, it's challenging to avoid this substance

because it's added to everything.


Substitute Water For Fruit Juices

The experiment I've been playing with this summer to stay cool

but to more importantly bring you solid tips, involves substituting

water for fruit juice. I gave myself 2 months of water, with added

Stevia Extract and ice. I eliminated most of the fruit juice.


Result


I lost one full jeans size without extra exercise, taking less tea.

I kept everything else in my day the same.

Focus on balanced eating and you'll find you can drink more water happily.


Try This

Add a touch of tea, lemon, lime or Vanilla Stevia and ice for flavor.


People Are Dehydrated

If you feel sluggish throughout your day, it's most often due to

dehydration. In all posts, I talk about the importance of

hydrating with 16 - 24 oz. , before eating anything.

This step cuts out a lot of weight, over the course of a lifetime.

Keep this step going and you'll find your need for sugary juices will vanish.


Consider Tomato Juice

Low salt tomato juice is great for your body. Studies indicate people

who drink tomato juice often experience fewer health risks. Tomatos are like

oranges. They're great cleansers for the hair and body because the juice

keeps you clean inside and out!


Pick High Quality Foods Yielding A Leaner Body

Low carbohydrate foods -- vegetables not spiking blood sugar.

Fruits -- eaten earlier in the morning.

Lean meats -- eaten throughout the day.

Sugar cravings are a way of your body saying, "I want protein".

To Shed More Weight, Without Heavy Exercise

Consider adding apple cider vinegar (tablets found at your

local food store) to your meals. 1 - 2 tablets, per meal, 3X/daily,

found in the weight loss aisle of your natural foods store. It will

keep your intestinal lining clean in-between periodic fasting or

10-15 day intestinal cleansings. If you're not sure what an internal

cleansing is, I talk about that in my very first post, offering

affordable recommendations.

without the need for an internal cleansing kit.
