A way to live...

"Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in, forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day, you shall begin it well and serenely."

A point to ponder...

Children with special needs do not have an illness. It is not contagious. They want what we all want: to be accepted. Can I make a request of anyone who is willing to post this and leave it on your status for at least an hour? It is Special Education Week, and this is in honor for all children who...need a little extra help!

A Quote to live by....

The winners in life think constantly in terms of I can, I will, and I am. Losers, on the other hand, concentrate their waking thoughts on what they should have or would have done, or what they can't do.

Technical Training and Health

As a Senior Technical Trainer For a Microsoft Learning Solutions Provider I know how important it is to be healthy. There is nothing worse than letting delegates down because you are ill. By maintaining a good state of fitness you avoid a lot of the "bugs" going round.

I do this by having a good diet and a good exercise routine.

"Fat-and-Happy"... Is It True? Study Tells All...

Did you know that fitness pro Jon Benson used to be "obese"? No kidding... now he's on magazine covers. It goes to show you what you can do if you set your mind to it. Well, Jon sent me this email today (I have permission to share it with you) -- it's about the old saying, "Fat-n-Happy"... and a study that will blow you away. Very important to check this out... enjoy!

Ever heard the phrase, "Fat-n-Happy?"...

Of course you have. We used to refer to obese guys as a "jolly fat-man"... or perhaps someone who is overweight as "fat-n-happy".

Is it true? Can (gasp) being overweight actually make you happy?

Rather than giving you my opinion on the matter, I take a look at three national studies on this page.

The presentation is only 5 minutes long... and I reveal the number one case for alarm in the United States and Canada.

Read that again: The Number 1 Cause For Alarm.

And I'm NOT an alarmist... I'm a rationalist. But stats like these do not lie.

They cannot lie.

And this deals with our children.

P.S. I can tell you from my own first-hand experience, which I document in "Fit Over 40", that my personal 10-year-journey through the muck of obesity was ANYTHING but happy.

I was depressed, to the point of suicide at times (thankfully I never went that far.) I was socially hidden. I wore "fat-clothes" all the time. The few times I HAD to wear jeans or dress pants I rushed home to change into sweats because they were just too damn uncomfortable to tolerate.

Bottom line: I was "fat-n-miserable".

I think most people who are overweight or obese feel more despair, sadness, or perhaps just really frustrated than "happy". Of course you can be happy and be any size, color, shape, etc. But I'll tell you from my experience that I am MUCH happier now that I'm fit and trim.

Part of that is just because I feel better. The other part is how the brain functions. When you're more active, you release more "feel-good" hormones... and these are powerful anti-blues hormones... they really make you feel like a champ. At least that's been my experience.

But go watch the 5-min video and see what you think...
