What Are You Willing To Do To Achieve Your Fitness Goals?

We all have set fitness and health goals in the past. The problem is that for some reason we never seem to achieve those goals. Why is that?

People by nature are lazy. We want instant gratification for everything! Unfortunately when it comes to fitness there is NO instant gratification.

You have to work hard to achieve the goals you set for yourself. So what I want to know is: How hard are you willing to work to achieve your goals?

How much time are you willing… Continue

Fit Tip

We live in a world of instant gratification. However, when it comes to losing weight and getting your body into better shape, it takes time. Pills and injections are for an illness or injury... not weight loss. So, let’s set the record straight by saying, losing 10 to 15 pounds per week is not going to happen. If it did you will be losing crucial lean muscle tissue and water.

Fitness takes patience and perseverance. Most people give up on their goal because they lack one of these or… Continue

Putting On My Apron at Apron's: Week Two

After last night’s Basics of Culinary class at Publix Apron’s Cooking School, I’m going to have to re-evaluate whether I’m going to class to learn or to eat. If every meal is as good as last night’s, the answer will be to eat! It was Italian night and what better person to teach Italian cooking than a true Italian chef. Bob Vitiello, one of the resident chefs of Apron’s, is just that! In the cause of making an authentic Italian meal, Bob and… Continue

What are you Crowing About?

Did you know that crows are highly intelligent and extremely adept at making humans work for them? An example: Crows in Japan learned to drop nuts into the middle of traffic so the cars would crack the shells for them. How creative is that?

Another example: A man had a crow as a pet. He was trying to teach him tricks. If he did them correctly he got a peanut. The crow got tired of doing the tricks. One day when the owner… Continue

How to Camouflage Inappropriate Replacement Windows on Your Historic Home

A recent forum post on an old house restoration and renovation website asked what they could do to hide the bright white vinyl replacement windows that the previous owners had installed. They didn't have the money to replace the windows, and the windows were still working fine, but were glaringly inappropriate for their historic home. For situations like this, an affordable solution is to install traditional wood window screens over the windows.…

First China, then Japan and now the World

The type of tea called “green tea” has long been consumed by the Chinese and Japanese almost exclusively, with cultural ties dating to the first millennium A.D. and, in particular, to tea ceremonies from the twelfth century.

In the initial phases of tea consumption in the United States and Europe, both black and green teas were regularly drunk. Over time, the British traveled down the tea road while the rest of Europe and the United States gradually turned to coffee.

Do you think that soy protein (e.g. tofu) is better for weight loss than animal based protein?

Soy products (including tofu) have been found to produce an enzyme in humans that stimulate estrogen production in the body. Estrogen is present in men, but it is the hormone responsible for the secondary sexual characteristics in women such as hips, breasts, and the higher percentage of body fat. Excess estrogen in the body will not only produce more body fat but will also cause bloating and water retention. It also lacks the Thermic Effect* of animal-based… Continue
