Wow, you have too much energy for me to deal with at 9 on a rainy Monday morning. I'll have a coffee or three and come back in a bit to read yesterdays post ;)
 
I think I need to go get some coffee now...then maybe come back and read this one again. Guess I'm just not gettin' it this morning yet...

:eek:
 
No one thought that was funny? I thought it wasa great way to laugh and get the day started.

Drive forward in our goals today

I will do the conventional, next post in a few

what a riot! Hey man,, get a kettlebell, 5 or 10 lb for your desk and we can have some fitness pain challenges... whatcha say! hey doccy doccy doccy doc doc. Wanna play pain games, forearms on fire baby!!
 
Effer...you know I'm always up for a challenge, but no room for anything else on my desk until I'm more caught up with work! :eek:

And Chillen...I'm going to take a wild guess that there are pictures associated with the string...which is probably why I'm a little confused (or I'd like to think so). If the pictures are hosted at photobucket or another photo sharing web site, my company blocks the images. So this time I'm really in the dark, heh heh. I'll take a look when I get home tonight and I'm sure I'll be ROTF... :D

But still effer...YO momma. :rolleyes:

:D
 
OMG!.............You didnt see the little smilies and pic with the words......no wonder your in the dark (LOL!). Yes, there are smilies and pics.!

This explains it, FF

You will feel better once the block for the small .gif pic format is off........it is funny, will change your frame of mind. This way the Doc doesnt need more medicine.

I thought you were moody today, so I was going to post some moody motivational quotes for you, to help you snap out of it.

Geesh! I was losing it, cause the Doc was losing it: (yes, there is a pic below)

But anyway, the more traditional format for June 18th:

Here are a few today:

Never be in a hurry; do everything quietly and in a calm spirit. Do not lose your inner peace for anything whatsoever, even if your whole world seems upset.”

“To dispose a soul to action we must upset its equilibrium”

Change has a considerable psychological impact on the human mind. To the fearful it is threatening because it means that things may get worse. To the hopeful it is encouraging because things may get better. To the confident it is inspiring because the challenge exists to make things better.--King Whitney


Incompetents invariably make trouble for people other than themselves.

If you think you can do a thing or think you can't do a thing, you're right.

The easiest thing in the world to be is you. The most difficult thing to be is what other people want you to be. Don't let them put you in that position.

Another day, and another brick in the wall cemented toward our goals. Be happy (the Doc isnt, but he'll get better when he gets home :) ), and continue forward.
 
Be happy (the Doc isnt, but he'll get better when he gets home :) ), and continue forward.

C'mon there! I'm a happy guy! Look up happy in the dictionary and there's my face! Any happier and I'd be commited for abuse of happy!

:D :D :D :D :D

Next to Friday, Monday's are my most favorite days...

:cool:
 
June 18th, end of day

Im off to do my evening cardio pretty quick.

Geesh, Doc, I am glad to see you joined us (LOL). took all day (i know why, but still...... :eek2: )


Thoughts for today (listen up Doc :) )

1. Within each of us lies the power of our consent to health and sickness, to riches and poverty, to freedom and to slavery. It is we who control these, and not another.

Remember that DOC, you have the POWER dude.

Richard Bach (Illusions)

2. Never look down on anybody unless you're helping him up.
Jesse Jackson

Right on! Thats what its about!

3. The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.
George Bernard Shaw

4. People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.
Elizabeth Kubler Ross

Thats RIGHT! In US is the light to achive!

5. Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off the goal.
Henry Ford

In each of us is the light of the road. We must adapt and overcome, we must maintain "reasonable unreasonableness" to prevent seeing obstacles created by us.

I sincerely hope everyone had a great and fantastic day! And all of your dreams and goals were met today.

June 19th, 2007

Okay, FF, you need detox and a slow weaning, but at the same time, a small bit will not kill you: After all Im not chillen (or dont know) your personal goals:

For FlingingFree:

"Success is but a small sacrifice--of refined sugar (words replaced)---and effort." - Clint L Scott

There are only 2 (3) choices; make progress or make excuses, and no refined sugar." - Ellen Mikesell


"Life's too short just to exist. Do something, and have no refined Sugar (added)!" - Anthony Candel

"The only thing in this world that is instant is FF having very little refined sugar." - David Parkin

"If you have a dream, go for it. No one is stopping you, except yourself!" - Anon

And one of many viewpoints on refined sugar:

Sugar depresses the immune system.

We have known this for decades. It was only in the 1970's that researchers found out that vitamin C was needed by white blood cells so that they could phagocytize viruses and bacteria. White blood cells require a 50 times higher concentration inside the cell as outside so they have to accumulate vitamin C.

There is something called a "phagocytic index" which tells you how rapidly a particular macrophage or lymphocyte can gobble up a virus, bacteria, or cancer cell. It was in the 1970's that Linus Pauling realized that white blood cells need a high dose of vitamin C and that is when he came up with his theory that you need high doses of vitamin C to combat the common cold.

We know that glucose and vitamin C have similar chemical structures, so what happens when the sugar levels go up? They compete for one another upon entering the cells. And the thing that mediates the entry of glucose into the cells is the same thing that mediates the entry of vitamin C into the cells. If there is more glucose around, there is going to be less vitamin C allowed into the cell. It doesn't take much: a blood sugar value of 120 reduces the phagocytic index by 75%. So when you eat sugar, think of your immune system slowing down to a crawl.

Here we are getting a little bit closer to the roots of disease. It doesn't matter what disease we are talking about, whether we are talking about a common cold or about cardiovascular disease, or cancer or osteoporosis, the root is always going to be at the cellular and molecular level, and more often than not insulin is going to have its hand in it, if not totally controlling it.

The health dangers which ingesting sugar on an habitual basis creates are certain. Simple sugars have been observed to aggravate asthma, move mood swings, provoke personality changes, muster mental illness, nourish nervous disorders, deliver diabetes, hurry heart disease, grow gallstones, hasten hypertension, and add arthritis.

Because refined dietary sugars lack minerals and vitamins, they must draw upon the body's micro-nutrient stores in order to be metabolized into the system. When these storehouses are depleted, metabolization of cholesterol and fatty acid is impeded, contributing to higher blood serum triglycerides, cholesterol, promoting obesity due to higher fatty acid storage around organs and in sub-cutaneous tissue folds.

Because sugar is devoid of minerals, vitamins, fiber, and has such a deteriorating effect on the endocrine system, major researchers and major health organizations (American Dietetic Association and American Diabetic Association) agree that sugar consumption in America is one of the 3 major causes of degenerative disease.

A good source of supplies for diabetics is diabeticdrugstore.com. They offer healthy eating diabetic food, hard to find sugar free candy and medical alert jewelry for diabetes care.

Honey is a simple sugar
There are 4 classes of simple sugars which are regarded by most nutritionists as "harmful" to optimal health when prolonged consumption in amounts above 15% of the carbohydrate calories are ingested: Sucrose, fructose, honey, and malts.

Some of you may be surprised to find honey here. Although honey is a natural sweetener, it is considered a refined sugar because 96% of dry matter are simple sugars: fructose, glucose and sucrose. It is little wonder that the honey bear is the only animal found in nature with a problem with tooth-decay (honey decays teeth faster than table sugar). Honey has the highest calorie content of all sugars with 65 calories/tablespoon, compared to the 48 calories/tablespoon found in table sugar. The increased calories are bound to cause increased blood serum fatty acids, as well as weight gain, on top of the risk of more cavities.

Pesticides used on farm crops and residential flowers have been found in commercial honey. Honey can be fatal to an infant whose immature digestive tracts are unable to deal effectively with Botulinum Spore growth. What nutrients or enzymes raw honey does contain are destroyed by manufacturers who heat it in order to give it a clear appearance to enhance sales. If you are going to consume honey, make sure it is raw, unheated honey. Good to use in special cures, but not as an every day food. It is not much better than white or brown sugar

JUne 19th, 2007 thought for th day

Now more tradtional:

Okay everyone, no one falls down today.

If you do you, you get the hell back up and dance your way back! Thoughts for the day:



The first one is a CLASSIC!

Blessed are the flexible, for they shall not be bent out of shape.

Ever take a close look at various animals? They seem to love exercise, why dont we?----Chillen

Accept Change & Survive

Resist Change & Die

Press On
Nothing in the world can take the place of perseverance.

Talent will not;
Nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent.

Genius will not;
Unrewarded genius is almost legendary;

Education will not;
The world is full of educated derelicts.

Perseverance and Determination alone are omnipotent.

- President Calvin Coolidge
--------------------------------------------------------------
Don’t Quit!
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low, and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
when he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don't give up though the pace seems slow,
You may succeed with another blow.

Success is failure turned inside out,
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit,
It's when things seem worst, that
You Must Not Quit.

- C. W. Longenecker (lol, what a name, LOL)

-----------------------------------------------
Winners
Winners take chances like everyone else,
They fear failing, but they refuse to let fear control them.

Winners don’t give up,
When life gets tough, they hang in until the going gets better

Winners are flexible.
They realise there is more than one way and they are willing to try others.

Winners know they are not perfect.
They respect their weaknesses while making the most of their strengths.

Winners fall, but they don’t stay down.
They stubbornly refuse to let a fall keep them from climbing.

Winners don’t blame fate for their failures,
Nor luck for their successes.

Winners accept responsibility for their lives.

Winners are positive thinkers who see good in all things.
From the ordinary, they make the extraordinary.

Winners believe in the path they have chosen even when it’s hard,
Even when others can’t see where they are going.

Winners are patient.
They know a goal is only as worthy as the effort that’s required to achieve it.

Winners are people like you.
They make this world a better place to be.

- Nancye Sims
------------------------------------------------------------------

Think
If you think you are beaten, you are;

If you think you dare not, you don't;

If you'd like to win but you think you can't,

You can almost be certain you won't.

If you think that you'll lose, you are lost,

For out in the world you will find

Success begins with a person's will;

It's all in the state of the mind.

If you think you're outclassed you are;

You've got to think high to rise.

You've just got to be sure of yourself

Before you can win the prize.

Life's battles don't always go

To a stronger or faster man;

But sooner or later the person who wins

Is the person that THINKS they can.

- Anon.

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

WE have to believe in ourselves! Trust in ourselves, and know our strengths and weaknesses! ROCK ON today!

thank you Sir. I actually stopped, took a deep breath and read that entire thing. thank you so much.

wow: Because sugar is devoid of minerals, vitamins, fiber, and has such a deteriorating effect on the endocrine system, major researchers and major health organizations (American Dietetic Association and American Diabetic Association) agree that sugar consumption in America is one of the 3 major causes of degenerative disease.

I'm glad I haven't been getting sick. I have been eating tons of chocolate, etc etc.

you are a good dude..
even if you are short and skinny---hehehehe sorry about that. i was teasin you in another thread and you had this effort done over here.

bowing in respect

FlyinFree
 
awesome, dr chill. this thread has been helping me keep my head up and looking at all your posts actually gives me a better outlook on life. thanks a lot for all the thought you put in everyday man. i am realizing that i have created many of the conflicts in my past because i let them get me down and i felt pity. life is so much easier and enjoyable when one realizes that you(yourself) determine if you are happy in life, not the circumstances.

anyway, i did not read that whole thing on sugar. it is scary to see how bad it is...
im guessing brown sugar is not any better...
i got some whole grain quaker "100 percent natural" granola and it has a lot of brown sugar. better stay away from that.
and im guessing fruit is good sugar...natural fructose. but im eating around 3-4 fruits a day. is that fine?

your the best dr chill
 
I have like battles too FF. I LOVE peanut butter, I could eat an entire jar in one sitting and not bat one eye and be happy as a lark.......for a time. I love the stuff and thats an understatement. I love nuts (hey now, lets not go there, lol), in general but know they can KILL a diet---fast an very litte to do it.

There so calories dense,,,,damn! :mad:

I have mental battles over my beloved cheesecake (s) (loaded with saturated fats, lol), but the shiiiiit is good!

I love cheez-it cackers (lol), so I allow a one serving crushed within a salmon patty recipe (yes its good) once in a while (a well, better than white crackers)

So we all battle the stuff..........Now FF! Back off, step back from that SPOON, DUDE!

Its "the balding skinny guy", LOL

YES! whole FRUIT is a good form of natural sugar. Dont shy from it.

Remember the sugar post is a writers opinion, but in general the persons in the KNOW would NOT have to many differences in opinion that the stuff is bad news (refined white sugar)

Is sugar bad for you?
The white crystalline substance we know of as sugar is an unnatural substance produced by industrial processes (mostly from sugar cane or sugar beets) by refining it down to pure sucrose, after stripping away all the vitamins, minerals, proteins, enzymes and other beneficial nutrients

We could actually completely stay away from eating refined sugar and be just fine.

Brown sugar I am going to look up. This is what I am getting fed back more often than not:

Unfortunately, brown sugar is only white sugar that has been colored brown, usually with molasses. There may be some exceptions with different products, but this is what I am getting fed back
