You CAN Get a Six Pack!

It goes without saying that if ‘getting a six pack’ was as easy as going to the local liquor store to get a six pack of beer rather then the continual hard work and dedication to abdominal exercises, we would all have them!

But before you can even attempt to get a six pack or shed that unwanted stomach or belly fat, there are a few things that you must understand first.

Many so-called "health foods" are actually cleverly disguised junk foods that actually stimulate you to gain more belly fat.

Ab exercises like crunches, sit-ups, and ab machines are the LEAST effective method of getting flat six pack abs. There are types of exercises that REALLY work in just a minute.

Boring repetitive cardio exercise routines are NOT the best way to lose body fat and uncover those six pack abs. There are unique workouts that produce 10x better results below.

You DON’T need to waste your money on expensive "extreme fat burner" pills (that don’t work) or other bogus supplements. A special class of natural foods is much more effective. 

Ab belts, ab-rockers, ab-loungers, and other infomercial ab-gimmicks… they’re all a complete waste of your time and money. Despite the misleading infomercials, the perfectly chiseled fitness models in the commercials did NOT get their perfect body by using that "ab contraption"… they got their perfect body through REAL workouts and REAL nutrition strategies.  

There are solutions and answers to help you. There is a choice you can make to change your body. And when you make that choice, you too, can get a six pack.

Observe the habits and actions of both the fit people and the fat people on a daily basis to help determine successful vs. unsuccessful actions regarding weight management and general fitness. It could be at grocery stores, at the gym, at restaurants, at the office, at someone’s house…which are potential spots to learn why people are either fit or fat.

Start paying attention to the actions of the people around you on a daily basis, and their corresponding body shape, and you’ll learn a lot.

 You might notice that the overweight man at the office who claims he can never lose any weight is actually the first one in the kitchen whenever someone brings in free donuts, cookies or cake.

Or  the guy with the beer gut, who says it’s impossible for him to get rid of the gut, is skipping breakfast on a regular basis (a killer for your metabolism), and drinking 2 or 3 sodas a day without even realizing it.

You might notice that the girl with the slim figure, who seemingly eats all kinds of junk food (and everyone gripes that she should be fat with all of that crap she eats), never actually finishes more than half of what she’s eating. When you take a closer look, she’s actually not eating that many calories day in and day out, and that’s why she’s lean. It’s not always as it appears on the surface.

The point is that there’s always an underlying reason why someone is either fat or fit, and it revolves around their lifestyle, their actions, their habits. Look a little deeper and you’ll learn a lot about what people do successfully and where they fail in their quest for a lean body.

Fat Loss 4 Idiots!!

 

 Forget about your past dieting failures for a moment.  

WHAT IF it was really possible to change your body in 11 days? 

Your body will not change just because you want it to. Positive thinking while important in life, will not help your body shed the stubborn weight you do not want.

But it is really possible to change your body over the NEXT 11 DAYS.

If you want to get to know a noticeably thinner you in the mirror, then you need MUCH MORE than just "positive thinking".  

Did you know that your brain controls the release of fat burning hormones after each meal?  It’s true.

Every time you eat something there are 2 types of hormones released into your bloodstream, and together they control Fat Burning and Fat Storage.

It is these 2 hormones that are controlled by the foods that you eat.

It would be nice to eat more and get thin.

You can.

You can be eating MORE THAN 3 TIMES PER DAY during the next 11 Days to alter these hormones correctly. You get to eat more in order to weigh less!

It is hard to believe that eating more than 3 times per day could be the solution to speeding up weight loss. After all, most people believe that food is the "enemy" which makes them overweight.  

But that’s simply WRONG. Food is NOT the enemy.

Food is like a LIGHT SWITCH which can turn Fat Burning ON or OFF.

So even though it may seem like a contradiction to say that eating more often is the solution to weight loss, that’s exactly the weight loss technique used by many today.

Starving yourself will never sustain weight loss. The body is smarter then that unfortunately, it detects any major drop in energy consumed and it sends out a memo to your metabolism informing it to burn at a slower rate because it is unsure when it will get ‘fed’ again!

Eating less is NOT THE ANSWER, and the solution must be something totally different.

We know that there are *some* people who don’t truly believe that they can change their own body but that isn’t you. You can change your body if YOU really want to.

Your body always "attempts" to burn the exact number of calories that you eat each day (this makes weight loss nearly impossible for many people given the high calories of ‘convenient’ foods).

However, careful testing has made a discovery about the human body.

It discovered that the human body takes several days to "sense" any change in calories — so if you SHIFT your calories (in a VERY special way) then your body gets "confused" and begins burning extra fat tissue (if eating tested diet pattern).

That’s the simple yet scientific "TRICK" which allows this health diet to force SUPER FAST weight loss to happen….and that’s how you can change your body in just 11 days.

Weight Loss Is All About Your Choices

 

Eating the wrong foods is the most simplest of reasons as to why you are overweight.

If you are working late hours, running around after children to all hours, socializing with friends most nights, it is hard to control the foods you are eating because you are not preparing it yourself. Chances are you are eating at ‘odd’ times of the day that are not consistent on a daily basis due to your lifestyle. And when you do get a chance to grab something to eat, it is generally on the run and a choice of convenience rather then that of requirement.

You try every diet you can get your hands on in between devoting your time to husbands, wives, children, friends and of course, the boss, you can feel the loss of control you are loosing over your body. Your choices become easier because you feel that you have done it for so long, you can’t remember how not to.

You start to see yourself in the mirror a little more and you realize that you may have put on just a little bit of weight. That your cheeks look a little rounder and you find yourself constantly standing up taller so you don’t look as wide.

You figure you could just miss a meal here or there and get that back in no time but soon realize that the only thing you are loosing is the patience to deal with your lifestyle demands while feeling so hungry.

Starving yourself will never sustain weight loss. The body is smarter then that unfortunately, it detects any major drop in energy consumed and it sends out a memo to your metabolism informing it to burn at a slower rate because it is unsure when it will get ‘fed’ again!

Failing that, you turn to any diet you can get your hands on to help shed the few kilos that ‘life’ just got in the way of.

The low carb diet has caught your attention and after realizing that in order to stick to the diet you learnt that you weren’t permitted to enjoy a ‘normal’ restaurant meal for many months after you began, you throw that in.

You always think you have to set a time to start eating better.

Time is now. Every second is time and while you may be short on that, you can do something simple today.

You can change the way you think about food.

FOOD is more powerful than you may have given it credit at first.  And that’s because you have probably always associated food as being something you need to get through your day and maybe missed how important the ‘right’ food is, to getting you through your day.  

The truth is food can determine how your day is. If you eat foods high in fats and oil rather then rich in vitamins, you will be crankier. Prone more to feeling stressed in situations where (your body wasn’t telling you off at the same time as your boss), you could have performed better.

But eating the right foods is not enough in itself. It is definitely the best start you could be looking for right now but it is also important that you eat the right foods at the right intervals each day.

If you are ever looking for something that we all have in common, no matter where in the world we are from, it is this. We all universally have in common breakfast, lunch and dinner, and that’s because your body is like an ‘engine’ and it only needs certain foods at certain times of the day, and if you don’t eat the right foods at the right times then it won’t burn those calories - and your body will end up storing those calories as fat tissue.

You have become overweight because of ‘convenience’ in a hectic world with many demands on you.

You can get slim by eating the right foods at the right times of the day. And almost every person in today’s society is buying mostly ‘low fat’ or ‘non fat’ food at the grocery store and everyone is ‘fat conscious’. It makes you cringe to read statistics about the global epidemic of obesity rising and recalling that slight glance you caught of yourself in the mirror earlier. However, people are getting fatter than ever by doing this and people are not losing weight by switching to the "low fat lifestyle". This is not working.

You need to eat the right foods at the right times of the day. It is as simple as that.

Six-Figure Jobs You Don’t Need A College Degree For

 

Here are 14 ways to get to six figures without doing four years first.

Maybe you don’t want to spend all that time taking classes in obscure subjects while hoping to find your calling and piling up student loan debt. Maybe you don’t really care so much about college. You just want to work and make money.

You can do it, but there aren’t many fields where it happens very often. In our list of 14 potentially six-figure jobs that don’t require a four-year diploma, only two have a median wage of above $100,000. For the rest, you’ll have to be in the top 10% of earners, and even then you may find yourself working 50 to 60 hours a week.

Dr. Al Lee, director of quantitative analysis at Payscale.com, says that most of these jobs share a few qualities. (Payscale’s research provided the numbers that made this list possible. The company measured the average earnings for people with eight or more years in their field.)

No test can tell an employer how good you might be at some of these lines of work–real estate broker or fashion designer, for example. That’s why a degree is less important to a potential employer than field experience and demonstrated past success. Either you’re good at it or you’re not.

Many of these jobs rely on variable pay (commission and overtime) to break six figures. Good plumbers, ultrasound techs and construction managers generally do a lot of overtime. It’s far more valuable to a company to pay them extra than to hire an additional employee, Lee says. And that means workers can break past what they would earn if confined to 40 hours a week.

Stress is pretty much a given in all these occupations. A high price for failure is not uncommon. Cost estimators can’t estimate too high on a project or they’ll risk losing it to a competitive bidder. They can’t go too low or their company won’t make money on the deal. Radiation therapists and ultrasound technologists have to worry about the danger of malpractice suits. Court reporters mustn’t miss a word in the courtroom. Air traffic controllers know that hundreds of lives ride on their actions.

Almost all these positions produce revenue that can give them a clearly defined monetary value. An executive chef at a hotel can pull in guests or send them fleeing. An ultrasound technologist or radiation therapist paid $100,000 a year can bring the hospital several times that. A sales manager’s value can often be pinpointed in dollars and cents at the end of the year. Also, a few of these jobs–air traffic controller, police supervisor, court reporter–have unions to thank for their good pay.

Lee says now is as good a time as any to start on the path to one of these jobs. The market may be in bad shape, but companies will still need competent workers. When better to find out if you’re truly good at something than when it’s most difficult?

He says of people who make more than $100,000, "At the end of the day, the largest percentage of them are degree-holders." But you definitely can get there this way–not that it’s easy. "You learn on the job. You pay attention. You move your way up."

Could it be time to design your five- or 10-year path to six figures?

Fargo woman wins ‘Real Chance of Love’ reality show

 

Abbie Noah is Fargo’s latest reality TV winner as the hairstylist ended VH1’s “Real Chance of Love” hugging, kissing and smiling with “her man.”

Monday night’s finale featured Noah as one of the final four women vying for the hearts of two men – Real and Chance, two brothers who call themselves “The Stallionaires.” The show’s premise featured each brother choosing his prospective “love” from a group of women.

As the show started Monday night, each brother had two final women to choose from.

Noah, who was known on the show was “Corn Fed,” was up against a woman dubbed “Bay Bay Bay” for the love of Real. Early in the episode, Noah and Bay Bay Bay argued during a poolside dinner in a Puerto Rico resort. Noah left the table crying after Bay Bay Bay and Real each wondered if the polite, sweet Fargo woman could handle the honest, harsh lifestyle of Los Angeles and the celebrity scene following Real.

“I’d feel absolutely devastated if Real doesn’t pick me,” Noah said early on.

During the show’s final selection, Real again questioned Noah’s ability to handle his lifestyle in Los Angeles.

“L.A. is not Fargo,” he said.

The statement brought tears to Noah’s eyes as she turned away in agony, unable to face the possibility she couldn’t be with Real.

But as Real turned to Bay Bay Bay he said he came to the show to find a relationship that had “fireworks.” And, he said, he didn’t feel the explosions with Bay Bay Bay.

Looking at Noah, Real said, “I believe you fell in love with me. I fell in love with you too.”

After an embrace, the show switched to a post-interview with Noah and she said, “I have been waiting this entire time to hear Real say he fell in love with me, and he said it. … I am absolutely in love with Real.”

She was the only woman on the show who found love. In a surprising move, Chance dismissed both of his final women saying he wasn’t truly in love with either of them.

The “Real Chance of Love” finale will be followed in two weeks with a reunion episode on VH1.

Fargo’s previous reality show champion was Caridee English, who won the seventh cycle - or season - "America’s Next Top Model."

Heritage Wealth Management Exec Fakes Plane Crash

 

Cheryl Holdridge dies at 64; popular Mouseketeer

 

She quickly became part of the core group that appeared on the famous Mouseketeer roll call at the start of each show, along with Tracey, Annette Funicello, Tommy Cole, Cubby O’Brien, Sharon Baird, Bobby Burgess, Karen Pendleton, Lonnie Burr and Darlene Gillespie.

"She was a good technical dancer, but I think she was picked mostly because she had this angelic look and a great smile; she’s known for her smile," Tracey said. With a laugh, she added: "We used to try to keep her quiet when she started singing because she sang off key."

The other reason Holdridge was included in the core group was that "her fan mail was quite high, and they need those ratings," Tracey said. "We were trying to win over the American public, which we did.

"Annette had the highest rating, but Cheryl came pretty close."

During her Mouseketeer days, Holdridge appeared in some of the show’s episodic serials, including "Boys of the Western Sea" and the "Annette" series.

Unlike some of the other Mouseketeers, Holdridge didn’t have trouble finding work in television as a young actress after hanging up her Mouse ears.

She went on to play Wally Cleaver’s girlfriend, Julie Foster, for two seasons on "Leave It to Beaver." And she had guest roles on shows such as "The Rifleman," "Bachelor Father," "My Three Sons," "Bewitched" and "The Dick Van Dyke Show."

"Our reputations as Disney players opened doors," Holdridge told the Chicago Tribune in 2001 during a Mouseketeer autograph session at a Disney memorabilia show in Bloomingdale, Ill., that drew a crowd of more than 1,000.

"Directors knew we understood how to move on camera, how to hit our marks and say lines. Doreen and I went up for many of the same parts. We both did ‘Ozzie and Harriet’ and ‘Bachelor Father.’ "

Holdridge left the business in 1964 when she married Lance Reventlow, the son of Woolworth heiress Barbara Hutton, "because that’s what you did then. You married and stayed home."

Reventlow died in a plane crash in 1972. In 1994, Holdridge married Manning Post, a prominent West Coast Democratic Party fundraiser and advisor, who died in 2000.

Holdridge was born Cheryl Lynn Phelps on June 20, 1944, in New Orleans and moved to Los Angeles when she was 2. Her mother, Julie Austin, was a former Ziegfeld Follies featured dancer and comedian and encouraged her to express herself through dance.

After her mother married Herbert Holdridge, a retired brigadier general, he adopted Cheryl in 1953.

At 9, she was selected by George Balanchine to perform for the New York City Ballet Company in a Los Angeles production of "The Nutcracker Suite." Her first screen appearance was a small role in the 1956 musical "Carousel."

Then came "The Mickey Mouse Club."

"She certainly was a very pretty blond and just had a very winning personality," said Lorraine Santoli, author of "The Official Mickey Mouse Club Book" and a former Disney publicist who worked with the Mouseketeers as adults in the 1980s and ’90s.

As an adult, "Cheryl was the most joyous person, is the best way I can put it," she said. "She saw the positive side of everything."

Holdridge enjoyed joining other former Mouseketeers at shows and appearances at Disneyland, Santoli said.

"She got such joy out of it, she really did, and she was so proud of the fact that she was an original Mouseketeer."

Tommy Cole said Thursday that "Cheryl was one of the loves of my life, especially because we were like family."

"Being one of the prettiest girls on the set, I always considered her Miss Sunshine," he recalled. "She’d walk into the room and this ray of sunshine would happen every time she smiled."

Cole was among the former Mouseketeers who visited with Holdridge on Monday night. And, he said, when he heard that she had died two hours after he left her side, "a little bit of sunshine went out of my life."

Holdridge, who had no immediate surviving family members, supported various environmental causes as well as the Children’s Burn Foundation in Sherman Oaks, Friendly House of Los Angeles and the John Wayne Cancer Institute at St. John’s Health Center in Santa Monica, where donations may be made in her name. A memorial service is pending.

John 3:16 — Latest Bible Verse to Be Featured On Tim Tebow’s Eye Black

 

It’s no secret that Tim Tebow is passionate about expressing his Christian faith. In fact, he’s so passionate that he’s used eye-black markings this season as a way to share the scripture with others. During the BCS championship game, it was time for John 3:16:

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. – John 3:16

You may have seen Tebow previously feature Philippians 4:13 during games, which reads "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."

 

Tebow’s religious expression has been a big part of the wholesome image we see described in every single feature written about him. But not everyone

has been a fan

of his use of eye-black patches to get the message across:

 

But I have to wonder if his coaches or NCAA officials would allow him to have "There Is" "No God" written on his eye black below his right and left eyes. I imagine that these personal slogans will soon be banned.

There’s been similar points raised in stories published recently. David Whitley of the

Orlando Sentinel

writes:

 

Others feel religion and sports should not mix. "Why must he rub it in my face?" they ask.

And in

The Tennessean:

Still, there’s something strange about the alliance of modern sport and religion.

In my personal opinion, while it may be hard to ignore Tebow’s display, it’s nowhere near enough of an issue to start ranting about it. I believe in God, but consider myself to be in the group "spiritual but not religious." If Tebow wants to put his Christian faith on a pedestal, so be it — it doesn’t distract me in the slightest. And for viewers who might think it’s a bit too much, the remote control is at your side.

So what do you think about Tebow’s show of faith? Is it a bother or no big deal?

New 3G Palm Pre Enters Smart Phone War

 

Palm today announced its long-awaited new operating system–called Web OS–as well as the new Palm Pre smart phone to match. The Pre will be available exclusively on the Sprint 3G Network in first half of 2009. The announcement was made at the 2009 Consumer Electronics Show.

As rumored earlier this week, the new phone marks Palm’s effort to regain leadership in the smart phone market. Aiming for the coveted niche between iPhones and BlackBerrys, the Palm Pre with Web OS attempts to seamlessly bring together enterprise and entertainment into one device. You can see a gallery of Pre images here.

Palm did not announce pricing or an exact availability date for the Pre. (Stay tuned for PC World’s in-depth look and hands-on analysis of the new phone and its OS.)

The Palm Pre Handset Specs

The Palm Pre is a multi-touch screen device with a full vertical slide-out QWERTY keyboard and accelerometer. The EVDO-capable device is Wi-Fi-enabled, and comes with GPS, Bluetooth 2.1 with stereo support, and 8GB of storage.

The Pre has a 3.1-inch size display with 320-by-480 resolution. The multi-touch extends beyond the display to the center button, which Palm calls the gesture area for launching applications on the device.

The Pre also has a 3.0-megapixel camera with an LED flash and depth and field DSP software. Additionally, the phone has high speed USB 2.0 support as well as a standard 3.5-mm headphone jack.

The phone’s elegant, curved form factor is designed to comfortably fit in your hand as well as next to your cheek. The Pre is smaller in size than the iPhone and other smart phones on the market–it weighs 4.8 ounces.

The Palm Web OS

The open-source Palm Web OS strives to bring together all of the facets of a busy lifestyle and put it into one place for quick access to information with the flick of a finger.

The homescreen user interface (UI) has customizable application widgets running at the bottom of the display. Touch a widget and the app instantly pops up. All of your open applications appear on the UI as a deck of cards. Flicking from right to left and left to right on the gesture pad allows you to scroll through your "deck" of applications.

Seamless Synching

One of the most important components of Web OS is what Palm calls "synergy–synching information from various sources into one seamless application. For example, Palm’s e-mail application has an All Inboxes folder–a single place to check all of your e-mail accounts.

If you start typing an e-mail contact, Web OS searches across all of your e-mail accounts–both personal and work. If the Pre can’t find the contact, it searches your corporate exchange database and automatically enters it into your contacts list.

Another cool feature in Web OS is the Buddylist application. All of the contacts from your various instant messaging accounts, like AIM, Gchat or ICQ, appear in a single list. And if your buddy suddenly goes offline during a conversation, you can send her a text message to continue the same conversation without interruption.

You can also use the slide-out QWERTY keyboard to easily find information on your device–and on the Web. Start typing something and the OS automatically searches through your contacts and applications to find what you need. If it doesn’t find any matches on the device, it will search the Web.

The Palm Web OS has a unique notifications application that allows you to work without interruption. If you get an IM or e-mail, a small alert pops up at the bottom of your screen. You can choose whether you want to read the message right away or save it for later. You can even pull up a small dashboard that lists all of your notifications.

In addition to the OS, Palm announced the Touchstone–a stylish wireless charger that uses inductive technology. You simply drop the Pre on the magnetic Touchstone and it stays in place to charge.
