Logical Weight Loss Podcast

Today I issue the challenge that if you are watching TV you are moving. Many times when we are sitting watching TV we are also eating not so healthy food. For me I'm going to watch football on a treadmill, and that goes for the Biggest Loser which starts this Thursday. Many athletes have lives that are out of control because they are not use to handling consequences. They do whatever they want. We might feel that way too and eat whatever we want, but we need to realize WE are the people who are putting that food in our mouths. We need to own our choices, and accept our consequences. See if there is a way you can stack a good habit with a bad habit.

  I went to a conference and one of the keynote speakers mentioned that we should schedule our lives to be run at 40%. Why? Because life happens, and that gets moved up to 80%. The problem is we schedule ourselves to be run at 100% (I know I did the last few weeks and a 3 lb increase was the result). Look at anything that is mechanical (car, copy machine, hard drive) if they run 100% of the time they will eventually burn up and die.  So when we book ourselves solid, we are almost ensuring too much stress, too much pressure (because we have no wiggle room - we are sitting ducks if our life throws us a curve ball). Enter Steven Covey If you need help setting priorities, THE book you MUST read is called First Thing First by Steven Covery. It's a great book In it he point out some obvious stuff. We often jump on things that are urgent, but not important (we change our schedule so we can be home on time for "housewives"). The image below shows what to focus on: Important and urgent: The homework for your class is due Friday and its a big chunk of your grade. Urgent and not important: The phone rings during dinner. It seems urgent. When was the last time you took a life threatening phone call? Important but not Urgent: Your car needs an oil change, in 3,0000 miles. Not Urgent and Not Important: Anything on your Roku, or Apple TV.

Today its a  quick show but I noticed something. When I'm in the car I hear tons of advertisements for cars. Why? Because there are a ton of people who listen to the radio in their cars. Hence it makes sense for car dealers to advertise on the radio. It  is where their target market is. Makes sense? Then after my drive home (hearing car dealer after car dealer) and I turned on the 6 PM news. What did I see when they went to commercial? Drug ads. One after the other. Drug this, drug that to make you thin if you are fat. To make you happy if you are sad. To sharpen your mind, control your bladder, make the little solider salute, and more. Then after they tell you the benefits, there is at least 30 seconds of after effects including: Death. Diarrhea Double vision Suicidal Tendencies Mood Swings Liver failure The list goes on and on. Why are drug dealers spending so much time and money on Television Advertisements? Because its where (unhealthy people  - their target market) are congregating. Turn off the TV, and get walking .

Today I'm out with my portable recorder and taking you along as I walk to find some food. I'm still reading the book Impossible and the last chapter he asked, "What would you do if you were healthy?" Maybe its something like: Sit in any chair, Shop in the "normal" section Smile standing in front of a mirror naked Not see a gut when you take off your shirt. Not feel your back fat flopping when running Feel more energetic. Make a list of everything you would do. Then stop and close your eyes and try to FEEL what they would be like. Remember that feeling. You need this to help you push through when you're not having a good day. Ben Franklin Was Right Think about it. If you say up at night what do you do? Watch TV - Nothing else is open Eat Fast Food - nothing else is open See lots of food commercials - advertisers aren't dumb So start going to be earlier. There is a reason this slogan has been around so long (Early to be and early to rise makes a person healthy, wealthy, and wise).

I noticed a trend. During the week I lose weight. During the weekend I don't. Where am I mostly on the weekend? Restaurants. What am I eating? Bread, bread, and bread. Never ending bowls of stuff. Pizza, steak, and Chinese food. In many cases I'm taking the route to make a better bad choice (dressing on the side, salt free bread sticks). In the end it's still a BAD decision. I have no real idea what they are doing to my food. In the book IMPOSSIBLE: How I Lost Nearly 400 Pounds Without Surgery he has taken the stand to NEVER go to restaurants. It's his problem, and that is how he deals with it. However, he realizes that most people can't go that route. His solution is to ration yoru visits to four times a YEAR. I go four times a month (and that's probably why I you-you all over the place). For now I'm going to monitor how many of my meals I create, and how many I do not . It will be fun to see the ratio.

Why Diet's Are Doomed I was at a Casting Crowns concert and Mark Hall the lead singer made a great point. You start a diet when you are full and feel awful. You are inspired by the way you feel. You jump into everything you see. You buy P90X, and schedule time to jog every day after you do the work out, you buy Shakeology and get on the monthly program. It's Sunday night. You're pumped up. While you are waiting for the new tools to arrive, something happens. You get hungry. You are strong and ready to take on the world because you're full.  When you are hungry you get weak. The problem is many times you are not hungry for food. You are hungry for love (ladies) and men you are hungry for respect. You are hungry for sleep, money, and many other things, but you try to fill that hole with food. Stay strong. Identify your weaknesses. Is Facebook Making you Fat? Instead of mirror  mirror on the wall who is the fairest one of all, we are saying smart phone show me the facebook, tell me how my life should look. Tell me tell me instagram, tell me who you think I am. When we compare ourselves to others, we fall into traps. All the sudden the Ford focus we were happy with, is no longer good enough because the neighbor got some new fancy hybrid car with a cooler stereo. We  need to adopt the attitude of gratitude. When we compare ourselves we are guaranteed to find to find something we don't have and focus on it. This creates a want, that we can't fill. But we will try - with food. Notice I didn't say a need. I said it creates a want. Nobody is posting, "Hey I just gained 5 pounds", or , "My son just got busted for drugs again." Facebook is not real. Don't believe the hype. Now I love facebook. It allows me to stay connected with friends and family. I also realize that this is not a 100% true picture of their life. 6 Reasons You're Gaining Weight You are following every trend Your life has changed You're getting older (it's true) You could use some sleep You're losing muscle It's time to review what's working P90X 3 Is Now Only 30 minutes a Day Have you heard about Tony Horton's new fitness program—P90X3®?
