Help myself, help others.

Okay, I have been here before. I need to drop about 40lbs. I lost 22lbs doing Farrells extreme body shaping last spring. I have gained close to 20lbs back.

I lost it through diet and exercise, and used Advocare products to boost results. Spark, Post Work out shakes, meal replacement shakes and cataylst.

What I always FORGET is that once I quite exercising and using products - I will gain weight!

Today is the day I start fresh.

I need to make some lifestyle changes. NOW.
Loaded up with Spark, Slam, and Meal replacement shakes...will continue to ride my bike and do P90X - use Post Workout and Cataylst....excited to get started.

Advocare works I am looking forward to helping myself and helping others...get healthy - stay healthy.

Coffee lore - truth or consequences?

Lately, there’s been a lot of stories in the news about coffee and whether it’s bad for you or not. We thought we help coffeepotstir the cup by casting light on some facts and fantasies about this oft maligned beverage.

First - Is caffeine a diuretic?

Sort of - Strictly Yes but in practice No - Caffeine only becomes a diuretic when consumed in amounts above 575 milligrams, or about 3.8 Grande Caffee du Jour’s (at approximately 150mg of caffeine each). Therefore, a typical Coffee Store Latte will cause little difference in urine production and will hydrate as well as water.

Will long term coffee drinking raise my blood pressure?

Here’s another sorta answer - Modest coffee drinking is associated with a small increase in blood pressure, Johns Hopkins investigators say, but it’s probably not enough to substantially increase your risk of hypertension.

In a long-term study of more than 1,000 men, drinking a daily cup of regular coffee raised systolic pressure (the upper number) by 0.19 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure (the lower number) by 0.27 mmHg.

Is Caffeine in coffee bad for me? - No - As with most things taken in moderation coffee and caffeine are actually good for you.

John Hopkins University School of Medicine reported that some of the health benefits of coffee include an improved sense of well-being, happiness, energy, alertness and sociability.

Another study conducted at the John Hopkins Arthritis Center examined the possibility that coffee consumption may protect against the development of gout. Increasing coffee consumption was associated with a decreased risk of incident gout, in the highest consumption group (6+ cups per day) demonstrating a significant 56% reduction in the risk of incident gout. Reported coffee consumption of 4 to 5 cups per day was also protective, with a 40% reduction in incident gout.

The New York Times has reported that the effect of 330 milligrams of caffeine in 16 ounces of ordinary brewed coffee enhance mood and mental and physical performance. However, in levels higher than 575 milligrams, caffeine can cause anxiety and an upset stomach.

A study done by J.A. Greenburg that coffee and tea drinking reduces the risk of Type II Diabetes. His research suggests that drinking coffee and tea may reduce the chances of a person getting type 2 diabetes. Drinks with caffeine may help the body use up energy faster, possibly leading to weight loss.

Other research conducted as part of studies on Parkinson’s Disease have found a connection between increased levels of coffee and tea consumption and decreased risk for Parkinson’s Disease. As part of a long-term study of the Honolulu Heart Program, a team of researchers examined the relationship between coffee intake and the incidence of Parkinson’s disease in 8,004 Japanese-American men over a 30 year period.

The incidence of Parkinson’s disease was found to be lower in those who drank coffee. In fact, the men who drank the most coffee were the least likely to get Parkinson’s disease. Men who did not drink any coffee were five times more likely to exhibit symptoms of Parkinson’s disease than men who drank more than 28 ounces of coffee each day.

Consumption of caffeine from other sources such as green tea, black tea, chocolate and soda was also associated with a lower risk of Parkinson’s disease. So go ahead and enjoy your daily taste, whether it be coffee, tea or chocolate - just remember to keep your consumption moderate.

Farrell's Extreme BodyShaping

I started Farrell's Extreme Bodyshaping Monday Jan 10th.

It has been a great work out. I joined the Ten week Challenge. I tested last Saturday for a baseline fitness test.
Mile run 9:25
Push-ups in one minute : 53
Sit and reach +17
Sit ups in minute 23 (very sad)


So we will see how week 5 test and the final test compare. I will work out 6 days a week. The diet has been great to use Advocare products. I really have been matching carbs and proteins.

I have been using 6 meals a day. Using Spark, Meal Replacement Shakes, Snack Bars, Fruit and Fiber Bars, Post-Workout Recovery Shakes, Catalyst, and NightTime Recovery.

I have finished week one and am already feeling and seeing awesome results! I will post the before picture - only after I have the after pic ready!

Special Guests

Mike Huckabee

Mike Huckabee has served as pastor, denominational leader, Arkansas governor and most recently, Republican presidential candidate. He’s a speaker, renowned author and advocate of living a healthy lifestyle.

Huckabee is a big supporter of small business owners and entrepreneurs. During his presidential campaign, he noted that 80 percent of all jobs in this country come from small business. He wanted to empower the small business owner by reducing taxes and supporting their efforts to climb the economic ladder.

Healthy living is a subject that is near and dear to his heart. After being diagnosed with Type II diabetes in 2003, Huckabee lost 110 pounds. Two years later, he completed four marathons including the New York City Marathon. As a result of his accomplishments, The Road Runners Club of America named him its ‘Southern Region Runner of the Year’ and USA Track & Field has named him their ‘Athlete of the Week’ for the country. Continuing to call for a national emphasis on living a healthy lifestyle, Huckabee completed his fourth book, “Quit Digging Your Grave With A Knife and Fork.” This 12-step program is a no-nonsense approach to managing one’s health through lifestyle change rather than a simple diet and exercise plan.

Did you know? Mike Huckabee enjoys playing bass guitar in his rock-n-roll band, Capitol Offense, which has opened for artists such as Willie Nelson and the Charlie Daniels Band, and has played the House of Blues in New Orleans, the Red Rocks Amphitheater in Denver, Colo., and for two presidential inauguration balls.

The Professional - Drew Brees Foundation



The Drew Brees Foundation

BE A CHAMPION!

Strength Builds Pride, Pride Builds Champions! Find out more info here www.impactweightloss.com

Drew Brees Foundation

It is the ultimate NFL players’ golf challenge where the best-of-the-best from each NFL team compete in a tournament-style golf event. The coveted title of The Professional Open Golf Champion will be given to the winner of the event. There are only 4 spots available for each NFL team, so each team will bring it’s best golfers for this highly-competitive, one-of-a kind match.

This new concept in championship golf has evolved from the “Brees on the Tees” Charity Golf Tournament, hosted by Drew and Brittany Brees and The Brees Dream Foundation. The 3-day event will be held at two of San Diego’s premier golf courses and includes two fun filled days of golf complete with a downtown kick-off party, fundraiser and awards dinner.

The 2-Day Tournament will include the first day of golf with both sponsors and athletes in a small Fivesome group with two athletes per team. On Tuesday, the final round of the tournament will finish with the NFL players competing in a private round of golf for the title of The Professional Open Champion. Both individual and team prizes will be awarded. Both days of golf will count toward the final score.

At the end, an individual Champion and a NFL team Champion will be crowned as the “Best of the Best’ in the NFL.
