The Chillout Log :) Well, I'm here to ask for some help about my current progress. The thing is I haven't been making much for a while. Now that summer approaches, my fears are coming back(taking shirt off at the pool, wearing shirts, etc.) which wants me to get back on track. Now, although looks are a good thing to have, health is still #1, which is why I'm concerned with my high cholesterol and blood pressure. I want to be in better shape, but I just can't get that consistency when I start some routine diet + exercise. You would think knowing that certain foods can be just as harmful as illegal substances in the long run, but that still does not seem real serious to me. What I mean is, I know the bad effects of drugs, alcohol, etc., but food, if you think about it, can be just as bad(contributing to high cholesterol, blood pressure, etc. and eventually death). So why does knowing that not seem to give me a "wake up call" and start eating clean or somewhat healthier? I don't know, honestly. I can eat clean all day, but at the end of the day if I see a pizza or brownie, I will go all out on that junk food. That is definitely my downfall, which can cause serious problems, which is already taking its toll on me(high blood pressure to cholesterol to too much fat). I cannot answer my own question, why is it so hard to stay consistent and dedicated with a diet and exercise program to lose some weight and get fit?

Self-Motivating Statements
by Heather Long


It's important to stay motivated. The following self-motivating statements are worth not only repeating, but writing down and keeping visible for yourself. Motivation is easier said than done, especially when you're tired and sore and the last thing you want to do is push for another ten minutes going uphill - so keep these motivators close at hand and write down a few of your own.

I make and keep commitments to myself
I have faith in my body
I have faith in myself
I have faith in my mind
I have faith my family
I am happy and healthy and fit
I deserve to be happy and healthy and fit
I am in harmony with the universe
I enjoy increasing my physical and mental strength
Every day is a day to live healthy and make better choices
My body is important to my everyday work
My body is a reflection of who I am
My mind is clear and my body is fit
Taking action today will help me live better tomorrow
Health is a gift to be treasured
I take care of my body and it takes care of me
Use it or lose it - mind, body and soul
=========================================================
As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives.
Henry David Thoreau

Henry David Thoreau, is one of my favorites. I have posted this before, but I am posting this again............BECAUSE THIS THOUGHT IS A MAJOR PLAYER IN YOUR PROGRESS AND SUCCESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Every man casts a shadow; not his body only, but his imperfectly mingled spirit. This is his grief. Let him turn which way he will, it falls opposite to the sun; short at noon, long at eve. Did you never see it?

Seeing shadows, then friends...........uh, whatever.........LOL

=========================================================
How vain it is to sit down to write when you have not stood up to live.
Henry David Thoreau

=========================================================

However mean your life is, meet it and live it: do not shun it and call it hard names. Cultivate poverty like a garden herb, like sage. Do not trouble yourself much to get new things, whether clothes or friends. Things do not change, we change. Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts.
Henry David Thoreau

=========================================================

I am sorry to think that you do not get a man's most effective criticism until you provoke him. Severe truth is expressed with some bitterness.
Henry David Thoreau

==========================================================
I had three chairs in my house; one for solitude, two for friendship, three for society.
Henry David Thoreau

==========================================================

I have a great deal of company in my house; especially in the morning, when nobody calls.
Henry David Thoreau

==========================================================

I have learned, that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.
Henry David Thoreau

If a man constantly aspires is he not elevated?

Frog in a Milk-Pail

A frog was hopping around a farmyard, when it decided to investigate the barn. Being somewhat careless, and maybe a little too curious, he ended up falling into a pail half-filled with fresh milk.
As he swam about attempting to reach the top of the pail, he found that the sides of the pail were too high and steep to reach.
He tried to stretch his back legs to push off the bottom of the pail but found it too deep.
But this frog was determined not to give up, and he continued to struggle.
He kicked and squirmed and kicked and squirmed, until at last, all his churning about in the milk had turned the milk into a big hunk of butter.

The butter was now solid enough for him to climb onto and get out of the pail!

"Never Give Up!"

NEVER!!!!!!!!!!!

Grow strong mental limbs from the root of knowledge.

Let the limbs branch out and bring in strengths.

Let the leaves on the branch grow to soak in the light of overcoming weaknesses.

When the time of the season comes, these leaves will fall off and return to the ground near the root, exposing the TRUE LIGHT

What You Should Know About Tea​

(John Berardi web site)

by Ryan Andrews


Nowadays, pretty much everyone has accepted that tea (especially the green kind) confers some tremendous health benefits.

Indeed, as recent as two years ago, you could hardly find green tea in most grocery stories, convenience stores, or restaurants.

Now, the stuff is ubiquitous. Anywhere you turn, if you want a green tea, you can find it. You can even find it in some fast food restaurants.

So in this newsletter, we'd like to talk about tea - what it is, why it's good for you, and what benefits it offers.

What is tea?

Tea is a beverage made by steeping leaves, twigs, or buds of Camellia sinensis, the common tea plant, in hot water for 1 to 5 minutes.


The fermentation of a tea determines its color. White tea is the least fermented form. Black tea is the most fermented form.

Interestingly, when the tea is fully dried, fermentation stops, and that's how tea leaves retain their color (white, green, black) once dried.

So how does a tea leaf go from its natural state to your tea cup? Well, the leaves undergo fermentation, and are then heated and dried. During this process, flavor enhancers such as herbs, spices, fruits and flowers can also be added.

Note: when the label describes the tea as “herbal tea,” it’s referring to a beverage that contains only fruits and/or herbs with no actual tea leaves. So don't get duped. Most "herbal teas" contain no actual tea.

Tea contains no calories and is a rich source of phytochemicals as well as a specific group of chemicals called methylxanthines (e.g., theophylline, caffeine, etc - although the methylxanthine content is much lower than in coffee and other caffeinated beverages).

How tea works in the body

Tea offers a host of health benefits, which will be outlined shortly. Many of the beneficial effects of tea are due to the flavonoids it contains.

Flavonoids belong to a grouping of chemicals that have strong antioxidant properties and can reduce free radical damage (free radicals produce what we call "oxidative stress" and can contribute to chronic disease).

When thinking flavonoids, think of catechins, specifically EGCG. The catechins are one type of powerful flavoniods that occur naturally in tea. And many believe it's these flavonoids that contribute most of the benefits associated with tea.

In addition to the flavonoids, as mentioned above, tea contains methylxanthines (caffeine is a methylxanthine). The caffeine content in tea is lower than that of coffee and does not have an abrupt effect. Prospective jitters and withdrawal symptoms are unlikely.

How Milk May Ruin Tea

Interestingly, milk has long been added to tea to neutralize tannins (which are the most bitter components of tea) and reduce their acidity - leading to a smoother taste.

However, research has indicated that casein in milk will negate many of the beneficial components of tea. So don't ruin your tea by adding milk. Order it straight up. And if you don't like the flavor, mix your regular tea with a mint or herbal tea.


JB's favorite is a mixture of loose green tea leaves and a bag of mint or pear flavored green tea.

Loose Tea vs. Bags

Tea is commonly packaged in “tea bags” for convenience. Among tea experts, this tea is known as “dust,” due to its poor quality.

The tea in bags is considered a waste product left over from sorting the higher quality loose leaf teas. Furthermore, tea in bags may be prone to oxidation and not steep as well due to the restricted form of the bag.

Now, if you enjoy tea that comes in bags – don’t stress – it can still offer similar benefits. However, we encourage you to try loose tea (or some combination of loose and bagged) to see how you like it.


The shelf life of tea varies based on the degree of processing. Black tea has a longer shelf life than green tea. The shelf life of herbal tea is usually the shortest.

To prevent oxidation, tea should be stored in an air-tight container and placed in a dry, cool and dark location.

Tea Temperature

Recommended water temperatures for steeping tea are as follows:
White tea: 140-165 degrees
Green tea: 170-180 degrees
Oolong tea: 190-205 degrees
Black tea: Above 200 degrees

Don’t get stressed if you don’t feel like breaking out the thermometer every morning. Bring water just short of boiling. That will usually do the trick.

Note: The more fermented teas require lower water temperatures. When water temperatures are too high, the leaves can be devoid of oxygen and the taste can be bland and flat.

Supplements and Extracts

While we're not against using green tea supplements, we want to make sure you don't go getting too happy with green tea extract consumption.

Case reports have been published indicating that a very high consumption of these extracts can induce liver damage. This has yet to be validated in well-controlled studies but it's worth thinking about.
Here's some additional info on this:

Green Tea Supplements - Any thoughts on risks? - Precision Nutrition

The Benefits of Regular Tea Consumption

Now, let’s outline some of the benefits attributed to regular tea consumption.
Note: These benefits were outlined at the 2007 "Tea and Health" symposium, a conference in which tea researchers world-wide got together and provided some definitive answers on what tea does and what it doesn't do - at least, according to what we know today.

We'll list these benefits by category...

Tea and body composition
Green tea increased 24-hour energy expenditure and fat oxidation
3-months of tea consumption decreased waist circumference by 4.5%
Tea and cardiovascular health
Tea increased lipid oxidation
Tea improved blood vessel function

Those who consumed 3 or more cups of black tea per day had a reduced risk of heart disease and stroke

Drinking 6 or more cups of black tea per day was associated with decreased serum cholesterol and triglycerides

Those who drank a cup or more of black tea daily had a 44% reduction in the risk of heart attack compared to non-tea drinkers

Those who consumed tea during the year prior to a heart attack were up to 44% more likely to survive following the cardiac event Japanese men and women who consumed just over 2 cups of green tea per day reduced their risk of death from cardiovascular disease by 22 - 33% 5 cups of black tea per day reduced LDL cholesterol by 11% and total cholesterol by 6.5% compared to placebo beverages.

Those who consumed 4 cups of tea per day had a 69% lower risk of atherosclerosis

Tea restored blood vessel function in those with coronary artery disease

Tea helped to prevent atherosclerosis

Tea enhanced dilation of blood vessels

Regular tea drinkers had a 65% reduced risk of developing high blood pressure

Tea and cancer

Tea inhibited oxidative damage

Tea decreased the growth of abnormal cells and inhibited uncontrolled cell growth

Drinking tea combated free radical damage

Tea boosted the immune system

Tea helped prevent prostate cancer
Those who drank tea had a reduced risk of skin cancer
Tea assisted in the regression of oral cancer
Tea drinkers had decreased ovarian cancer risk
Tea and immune function
Tea boosted natural resistance to microbial infection
Tea and oral health
Tea inhibited the plaque forming ability of oral bacteria
Tea and bone health

Although caffeine intake has been suggested to be a risk factor for reduced bone mineral density, research indicated that drinking tea does not negatively affect bone mineral density
Older women who drank tea had a higher bone mineral density than those who did not drink tea
Tea and kidney stones
Those who drank tea had a lower risk of developing kidney stones
Tea and neurological decline
Drinking tea resulted in a reduced risk of Parkinsons disease

Tea and spouse selection

Those who drank 5 cups of green tea each day had a more attractive spouse (are you still paying attention to my article? This one has yet to be confirmed by research - but you never know).

Tea Recipes

When talking to folks who don't consume enough tea, their excuse is usually that they don't like the taste. However, this excuse is fairly lame.

Just like with other healthy meals and drinks, you've gotta be a little creative. To this end, here are a few recipes that can make including tea in your diet a delicious proposition:

Mint Chocolate Shake

Ingredients:
1/2 cup strongly brewed green tea with mint
1 cup ice
2 scoops chocolate whey protein
1 cup low-fat plain yogurt
1 tbsp flaxseed oil or vanilla flavored fish oil
1 tbsp semi-sweet chocolate chips or cocoa nibs

Instructions:
Prepare green tea by steeping for 5 minutes or using tea press/infuser. Allow to cool.

Pour tea in the blender and add 1 cup of ice.

Add to the blender, protein, yogurt, oil, and chocolate.

Blend on high until mixture is smooth and creamy.

Nutrition Information:
Makes 1 large 593kcal shake (22fat, 36carb, 61 protein) or 2 small 296kcal shakes (11fat, 18carb, 30 protein).



Blueberry Oatmeal

Ingredients:
1/2 cup strongly brewed green tea with berry flavor
1 cup of water
1/2 cup Old fashioned large flake oats
2 tbsp ground flax seeds
1 tbsp pure honey
1/4 cup low fat milk or soy milk
1 scoop vanilla protein
1/4 cup frozen berries

Instructions:
Prepare green tea by steeping for 5 minutes or using tea press/infuser. Allow to cool.

Pour tea and 1 cup water into a pot.

Bring pot to a boil on high heat and add the oats.

Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until liquid is absorbed (approx 7-10 mins).

Remove from heat and stir in flax and honey.

Combine milk and protein in a blender and pour over oatmeal.

Add frozen berries.

Nutrition Information:
Makes 1 large 472kcal serving (10fat, 60carb, 35 protein) or 2 small 236kcal servings (5fat, 30carb, 15 protein).

April 10th, 2008: Thoughts for the day (1)

"It's not that I'm so smart, it's just that I stay with problems longer."

(AE)

The question isn't who is going to let me; it's who is going to stop me. ​


Life is a game, Play it ; Life is a challenge, Meet it; Life is an opportunity, Capture it .

Develop an attitude of gratitude, and give thanks for everything that happens to you, knowing that every step forward is a step toward achieving something bigger and better than your current situation.

=========================================================
Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself:

I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today.

I can choose which it shall be.

Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet.

I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it.


(Groucho Marx )

=========================================================

The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life.

Attitude to me is more important than facts.

It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than success, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, gift, or skill.

It will make or break a company......a home.

The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day.

We cannot change our past...we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way.

We cannot change the inevitable.

The only thing we can do is play on the string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10 percent what happens to me and 90 percent how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our attitudes.

(Charles Swindoll)

=========================================================

Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it.
Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it.
Begin it now.

(Goethe)

=========================================================

Never give in! Never give in! Never, never, never, neverin nothing great or small, large or petty.

Never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense.

(Winston Churchill)

=========================================================
Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising up every time we fail.

(Ralph Waldo Emerson)


=========================================================
When you feel like giving up, remember why you held on for so long in the first place.

(Unknown)

=========================================================
Between you and every goal that you wish to achieve, there is a series of obstacles, and the bigger the goal, the bigger the obstacles.

Your decision to be, have and do something out of the ordinary entails facing difficulties and challenges that are out of the ordinary as well.

Sometimes your greatest asset is simply your ability to stay with it longer than anyone else.

(Brian Tracy)

=========================================================

It does not matter how slowly you go so long as you do not stop.

(Confucius)

=========================================================

"When the world says, "Give up,"
Hope whispers, 'Try it one more time.' "

(Unknown)

=========================================================

Keep on going, and the chances are that you will stumble on something, perhaps when you are least expecting it. I never heard of anyone ever stumbling on something sitting down.

(Charles F. Kettering)

=========================================================

Perseverance is a great element of success. If you knock long enough and loud enough at the gate, you are sure to wake up somebody.

(Henry Wadsworth Longfellow)

=========================================================

Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else.

(Judy Garland)
(repeat)

=========================================================

You were not born a winner, and you were not born a loser.

You are what you make yourself be.


(Lou Holtz)

=========================================================

Self-trust is the first secret of success.

(Ralph Waldo Emerson)

=========================================================

To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.

(Ralph Waldo Emerson)

hmmm.........that is an interesting.....quote, hmmmm

=========================================================

The most important opinion you have is the one you have of yourself, and the most significant things you say all day are those things you say to yourself.

(Unknown Author)

=========================================================
Trust yourself. Create the kind of self that you will be happy to live with all your life.

Make the most of yourself by fanning the tiny, inner sparks of possibility into flames of achievement.

(Golda Meir)

=========================================================

It is not the critic who counts;

Not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena,

whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood;

who strives valiantly;

who errs and comes short again and again;

who knows great enthusiasms,

the great devotions;

who spends himself in a worthy cause;

who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement,
and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly

so that his place shall never be with those timid souls who know neither victory or defeat.

(Theodore Roosevelt)

=========================================================



ROCK ON!


Everyone!


PEACE!

The day is going well so far. Thanks for asking. Cold, wind & snow looks like it will be putting a damper on my running this weekend though. :( I will either have to endure the weather, or if it is too bad, push it inside to the treadmill.

I hope the weather gets better so you can run. But you have the "adapt and overcome" mentality, and you will do the correct thing for your personal fitness goals, Drex.

Good to hear your day is going well thus far.

Up and at em' baby! Ready to rock and roll, and kill any adversity in the day. Up early to train, and have about 10 hours of work ahead.

Where there is a will........there is a way.....as the saying goes, and its absolutely true.

I am rough, I am tough, and I dont play. Its all me, and I can do it. YES......

Breath it in........soak it like a spounge.......baby!


Thinking about you all. All of you have different problems and degrees of adversity each of you face. Be tough ya'all. It pays off.

It's not the load that breaks you down, it's the way you carry it.

There's a mighty big difference between good sound reasons, and reasons that sound good.

Hold your head up. Stand proud of yourselves each every day.


Best wishes to ALL OF YOU!

It depends, a pizza and a brownies are still OK it they still fall within your calorie / macro targets for the entire day.
