CoachGShort Weekly Newsletter September 18th 2011

I have always thought and expressed the importance of drinking you water, well this past week I was reminded of this.  The container that I have been using for the past couple of year had gone the way of the recycling and with out my pattern of drinking my water I felt the effects.  I was more tired, sore and honestly not as nice as I should be.

So why is water so important?  What does it do for us?  In this weeks article by Dr. Maoshing Ni goes over the benefits of drinking 6 8-ounces of water every day

 Water, Drink of Longevity

Most of us just aren’t getting enough water every day, which has a negative impact on all of our body’s functions — and thus, our longevity. This month, improve your cellular function, metabolism, and organ function with one simple habit: drink six glasses of water a day. Practice consistently, and by the end of the month, you will have a new cleansing habit that will pave the way for a long life!

Here’s why: Water is vital for good health and a long life. In fact, our bodies are made up of about 60 – 70% water. Although you can live for days without food, your survival depends on drinking water. Each and every cell needs water to perform its essential functions. Make sure to stay well hydrated by drinking six to eight 8-ounce fluid glasses of filtered water every day. Aim for about 64 ounces of liquid a day.

Benefits of a good drinking habit:

• Stay hydrated. On these hot summer days, your body needs to replenish itself with water more than ever. When you become dehydrated, you don’t have enough water in your body to carry out normal functions. Even mild dehydration can drain your energy and give you a feeling of fatigue.

• Regulate body temperature. For workout fans, drinking water reduces cardiovascular stress and improves performance. And water reduces body temperature, making the exercise process safer and more effective.

• Skin health. Water hydrates and irrigates impurities from the skin, keeping it healthy and glowing.

• Nutrient absorption. Water transports essential nutrients, minerals, vitamins, proteins and sugars through your body for assimilation.

• Flushes wastes and toxins. Water aids in circulating and excreting waste products and cleansing the interstitial tissues, helping us to flush toxins out of our system. Your body can process and eliminate some of the chemicals that enter it, but the rest get stored in the liver, lungs, kidneys, fat cells, intestines, blood stream, and skin. Without enough fluids to flush out your system, these accumulated toxins in your body will slow down your organ function, possibly causing premature aging or resulting in chronic illness.

Bonus tip: You are what you drink! Everything that goes down the drain from our lawns, agricultural fields, pharmaceutical drugs, or elsewhere in our environment inevitably ends up in our drinking water. Invest in a carbon-based filter to remove impurities from your tap water.

Reward Yourself

If you stick to the plan nearly every day, think of a way to reward yourself. You will be more likely to follow through with your goal when there is a bonus in sight.

Stay on track

To stay on course, ask yourself these questions each day. Keeping a written record of daily answers will help you stick to the plan and may offer insights to keep you inspired.

• Are you drinking six glasses of 8-ounce water every day? What has the experience been like?

• How do you feel today compared to the previous day? How about to one week ago? You may notice that you are feeling a little more energetic. Perhaps you feel lighter or are having fewer headaches.

• What obstacles are keeping you from practicing this hydrating habit every day? What can you do to get around the obstacle?

9/11 Remembrance

Where were you on this day 10 years ago? I was driving to work when I first heard that a plan had hit the World Trade Center (I can show you the exact spot). The first thing that I thought of was the B-25 that crashed into the Empire State Building in 1945. When I got to work I walked into the Help Desk call center I asked if they had heard about it and they told me that another plane had just hit the second tower. I have never had a feeling like that before or since. At the time I was working on F.E. Warren AFB and for almost the rest of my time left on base the security was heightened but not once did we complain for the life of those and all those that server this country should be held with the utmost respect.

Remember this day 10 years ago, remember those that have given their lives since then tragic day, remember those families that have lost loved ones, and remember those that are in service of our country today and never stop praying for each and every one of them.

Can Exercise give you headaches?

Written by Lewis Carl Monfort

Everybody knows that working out often belongs to the things you must do if you want to lose weight. It does not matter what other folks might explain; you are unable to lose weight just by sitting around. What most people don’t realize however is that exercising can definitely be a pain. You are most likely geared up for muscle cramps and aches in your back and in your joints, but are you prepared for exercise induced headaches? Unfortunately a lot of individuals suffer from exercise triggered headaches but, thankfully, there is plenty you can to do treat and prevent them. Here is the way to do that.

Drink lots of water–you likely already understand that this is important to do regularly but it starts to get even more important when you exercise. Headaches will often be brought on by dehydration and dehydration can happen after a workout that has been successful and sweaty (sweat drains the body of fluid). Drinking fine volumes of water before your training session routines, during your work out and after you have finished working out can do quite a bit to help you keep the headaches at bay. This is typically usually all you will need to do to heal any headaches that turn up a while after your workouts too.

Proper warm ups along with cool downs are extremely essential. Just jumping right into a vigorous workout can cause headaches because the blood will start rushing in the direction of the parts of your body that are doing the work and away from your head and brain. Your brain needs time to adjust to the changes and a complete warm up and cool down lets your body to make those changes gradually.

Practice suitable breathing techniques while in your workouts and weight liftings. Our brains require oxygen to survive and operate properly. Most of us instinctively hold our breath whenever we are executing something difficult but that just reduces the oxygen that is available for your brain. By exercising good breathing you keep the brain supplied with a good amount of oxygen and will ward off headaches.

If you see that you are experiencing headaches frequently and nothing that you are trying is reducing them or helping you keep them away, it is time to talk to your doctor. If your workouts or diet plan are causing your regular headaches then your physician will be able to help you figure this out. It is possible that you need medication to keep the headaches at bay. Your doctor should be able to make it easier to figure out how to both cure your headaches and go on working out and your diet.

None of us really wants to experience a headache; we do almost everything we can to keep them at a distance. The best part is that you don’t have to merely suffer through them. With the proper preparing and know-how, it is possible to avoid exercise induced headaches completely!

  • Is Shakeology worth it?
  • Is Shakeology good for you?

Hopefully, by the time you’re finished reading this post, you’ll have a better idea of whether or not this best-selling meal replacement product is right for you.

Shakeology Review – The Basics

Shakeology is much more than just a protein shake. It’s also in a completely different league than your standard, everyday “meal replacement shake”.

In a nutshell, Shakeology is a complete (and super healthy) meal in a glass. Each shake is packed with 70 whole food ingredients that deliver the essential nutrients that the body craves and is often deprived of due to today’s typical unhealthy American diet.

Most Americans eat a steady stream of processed foods that are high in fat and sugar, and the challenge of eating a healthy diet is more difficult than ever. Shakeology offers a solution to that problem, one that is both convenient and affordable.

Is Shakeology a Scam?

Let’s be honest. The health and nutrition supplement industry isn’t always trusted or well-respected, and with very good reason. Many of the nutrition supplements being peddled today make huge claims and do very little (if anything) when it comes to providing real benefits to the customer.

With this in mind, it’s no wonder why some people are still skeptical about a possible Shakeology scam.

Fortunately, Beachbody is a company that takes great pride in their reputation and only produces the very best when it comes to health and fitness products. Great care was taken when formulating and sourcing the ingredients contained in Shakeology, and the end result is a product that truly deserves the growing popularity it’s enjoying.

The bottom line is Shakeology isn’t a scam, ripoff, or hoax. It’s a legitimate meal replacement product that delivers essential nutrition in a great-tasting, convenient, and affordable way.

Shakeology Benefits

Shakeology users have reported a wide range of health benefits, ranging from increased energy to lower cholesterol. In addition to providing all of these great benefits, it’s also great to know that Shakeology is certified low glycemic with a 24 GI (glycemic index) rating. A 24 GI rating is extremely low (which is a very good thing), and yet another confirmation of just how healthy this product really is.

In case you’re not familiar with GI ratings and the topic of blood sugar, foods that have high glycemic index ratings cause the body to produce higher levels of insulin which will provide a sugar rush, followed by a crash. Eating a diet that is primarily made up of low-GI foods is a great way to stabilize blood sugar and insulin levels.

Here are some more Shakeology benefits that have been reported by customers:

  • Weight loss
  • Improved digestion
  • Better bowel regularity
  • Increased energy
  • Lower cholesterol

So all those looking for support please
come to our TEAM Thread!!! Most of the team is doing P90X but
there are people who are moving on to Insanity, Hip Hop Abs, and Turbo
Fire!!! So come get the support that you deserve!!!

Many of you have heard that I have three keys to a successful workout.  This is for any workout whether it is P90X, Insanity, or walking  around the block every night after dinner.  First is the exercise, this is the easiest of the three (even if it is P90X or Insanity).  Next is nutrition, this is hard but a lot of this is education.  The third and in my opinion the hardest of all three is motivation!  Without motivation you won’t eat right and you won’t workout.  In this weeks article by Andrew Lock (www.helpmybusiness.com) he discusses famous people who failed before they became the success that we all know.

Don’t give up!

 OFTEN LIFE DOESN’T go in the direction we want it to.  Does that mean our lives are doomed and we can’t achieve the success we dream of?  Let’s be realistic: Everybody fails.  Consider the following.

Walt Disney was fired by a newspaper editor because “he lacked imagination and had no good ideas.”  Disney went bankrupt several times before he built Disneyland.  In fact, the proposed park was rejected by the city of Anaheim, California, on the grounds that it would on attract “riffraff.”

Thomas Edison‘s teachers said he was “too stupid to learn anything.”  He was fired from his first two jobs for being “nonproductive.” As an inventor, Edison made more than 1,000 unsuccessful attempts to invent the light bulb.  When a reporter asked him how it felt to fail 1,000 times, Edison said that he didn’t fail all those times, but that the light bulb was an invention with 1,000 steps.

Albert Einstein did not speak until he was 4 years old and did not read until he was 7.  His parents thought he was “subnormal,” and one of his teachers described him as “mentally slow, unsociable and adrift forever in foolish dreams.”He was expelled from school.

Every cartoon that Charles schulz, creator of the comic strip Peanuts, submitted to the yearbook staff at his high school rejected.

After Fred Astaire‘s first screen test, the memo from the testing director of MGM, dated 1933, read, “Can’t act. Can’t sing. Slightly bald. Can dance a little.”  Astaire kept that memo over the fireplace in his Beverly Hills home.

Decca Records turned down a recording contract with The Beatles with this fascinating evaluation: “We don’t like their sound. Guitar groups are on their way out.”

 A friend of mine in the music industry personally auditioned a singer by the name of Reg Dwight in the 1960s.  He unceremoniously shoved the singer out of his office for wasting his time.  That singer is now better known as Elton John.

Imagine if these individuals had given up, believing they were doomed to failure and would never achieve success.  Do you think they ever felt down and depressed?  Sure.  But they didn’t allow a gloomy state to overtake them, to overpower their desire to succeed.  in every case they did succeed – in a huge way, far greater than their wildest dreams.

Bad experiences can be viewed as positive in hindsight.  They can be stepping stones rather than stumbling blocks.  It’s your choice.  But be determined to never give up.

I truly believe in this product!  I recommend giving this product a try and with the Beach Body Bottom-of-the-Bag guarantee if you are not totally satisfied in the first 30 day you can return it for a full refund (less s&h). If you are interested in trying a sample please either message me on teambeachbody.com or send me an email at gshort@shortfam.com

Fun, Something to do

Fund Raising yard/bake sale!!!

Gallery 1 Comment

Faith and Robert Nielsen

These two children are going through a lot of physical complications in their journey of life and as such are making quite a bit of runs to hospitals and specialists to find out more specifically what is going on in their bodies.

Faith was born with hypotonia, which is loose ligaments, making her too flexible and hip dysplasia which means her hips are not fully developed making her asymmetrical.

Robert was also born with hip dysplasia, yet not as severe as Faith’s, and he has two holes in his heart making his heart pump more to keep up the oxygen required to maintain his body’s functions.

Both children are smaller than average (which makes them much cuter!) and their airways are also smaller making it more of a task to work on them; as well as their ear canals, among other things.

To help cover the cost of medical expenses that occur a yard/bake sale is being held to help them live a “normal” life.  Insurance will only cover so much and the rest has been up to the family and those around them.

So please come out to help support the Nielsen’s this Saturday August 27, 2011 starting @ 7 A.M. Located at 586 N. 100 E. Lehi.  The yard sale will be huge and include Furniture, electronics, clothes, books, toys.
