Inspirational Quotes

God grant me the serenity to accept the people I cannot change,
the courage to change the one I can,
and the wisdom to know it’s me.

or…
Grant me the serenity to accept the past I cannot change,
the courage to change the future I can,
and the wisdom to start today.

The reason why people give up so fast is because they tend to look at how far they still have to go, instead of how far they have gotten.

The Best Video Game That Burns Almost the Same Amount of Calories as Running

An article (and video) at yahoo reports that when it comes to comparing the Wii with an Xbox with the kinect system, that there is no comparison. The test consisted of using a Heart Rate Monitor (I recommend Timex Heart Rate Monitors as you can replace the batteries) and see how many calories she burned running, and then compare it to the calories burned using the video games. She burned 259 calories in 20 minutes wen she was running. When she played the game Dance Central on the Xbox with the Kinect system she burned 251 calories. That’s only 8 calories less, and it’s FUN. The Kinect adventures had her jumping and ducking. She burned 216 calories, but her heart rate went thruogh the roof (its interval training basically). Compare these to the Wii Sword fighting game (149 calories – over 100 calories less than running), and you can see where the Wii isn’t in the same league. She did like the Biggest Loser game even though she only burned 175 calroies in 20 minutes as it mixed cardio and strength training. The games are around $40. As of this writing the Xbox with the Kinect system goes for $258 at Amazon.com

Mountain Dew Will Disolve Mice

by Dave on January 5, 2012

Jillian Michaels has said in her book “Master Your Metabolism” that soft drinks are basically poison (I’m paraphrasing). Yesterday a story surface where a man is using Pepsi for allegedly having a mouse in a can of mountain dew. He said he drank it, immediately through up,and when he poured out the can the mouse fell out. To this I ask, “How did the mouse fit through that tiny hole?” Here is where things get really bizarre, in their defense Pepsi is saying (again in y words) that the mouse would have turned into a jelly like substance.

Acid and an ingredient called brominated vegetable oil or BVO are what likely lead to Mountain Dew’s supposed rodent dissolving powers. BVO is banned in some other areas of the world like Europe and Japan but allowed in limited quantities in sodas like Mountain Dew, Squirt and Fanta Orange.

Mountain Dew is a vice of mine. I treat it like alcohol. If I drink one, I want to drink 12. At my worst, I would drink 6-10 cans a day. This story will help me “stay on the wagon” (I now drink 1-2 a day, and need to make that number “0″). Watch this video from the Huffing Post for exact quotes.

You Should’ve Listen To Your Mom When She Said Quit Slouching!

by Dave on January 3, 2012

I’m still reading Get Healthy For Heaven’s Sake by Lisa Marrone. It turns out she has a book titled Overcoming Back and Neck Pain: A Proven Program for Recovery and Prevention and there is some great stuff in this book that shows you how easy it may be to live without pain in your neck and back. A Lot of it has to do with how we stand, sleep, and sit. That’s right. Mom was right when she said “Quit Slouching!”
