Shake Weight—– For Men?

on November 17th, 2010 by Rob

O.K.- this is easy. This product does not work. End of story.

But, that is not the end of the story. I have questions. Why is the Shake Weight for Men different than the Shake Weight for Women? Is it heavier? Also, is the Shake Weight really so engaging that it is going to cause these pained expressions on my face?

I mean really! I am not even sure I understand what this product is SUPPOSED to do. It pretty much goes against any and all information that I have seen about health and fitness. But, it goes to show you that there is no end to what people will believe about weight loss.

Now here is another deal. It is important to engage in weight bearing exercise to build and keep muscle mass. See, if you have more muscle mass- then you will BURN more calories—- even at rest.

So, don’t believe the hype. Just Get up! Get moving! And have a better life!!!!

Serenity Now!!!

In a plateu as flat as the Mississippi Delta

Just a couple of days ago, on Jack’s Site—- he was talking about the up and downs…. and well, the Flat parts of this diet journey that we ALL seem to be on. I mean, if your not on it…. what are you doing reading this.

Anyway- I am on one of those flat parts. For the most part I have lost my weight. I lost 82lbs about a year ago and have hovered around 70lbs off since then (there was a big push at the end for the TV show…. then I gained about 10-15lbs).

However, recently I have been kinda loosing my Mojo as Austin Powers would put it. I think that it just comes from being worn out. Worn out with working out, worn out with work, worn out with kids and bills and people that won’t listen to me… you know, the usual stuff.

I guess I felt some of this too when I was trying to lose the weight. (I got the spelling right that time Ann)…. but the thing that I need to keep telling myself is that—- I didn’t get fat overnight. It was a slow process. And it is going to take me some time to get back to where I want to be.

So, my point is this– give yourself a break. Don’t be so hard on yourself. I have a real hard time doing this…. I should practice what I preach more— but damn, I need to lighten up on myself sometimes. I have been getting pretty worked up lately.

I was telling my shrink the other day—- first time I have seen her in a year- that I just was not feeling that great about things. I have just been in a funk. The first thing she said was—- “Have you been working your program?”

Frankly, that was all I needed. I needed her to steer me back on the road. Its not some big hairy deal…. its just that I have not been living so “serenely”.

I have discussed this on this site before- I have been to Overeaters Anonymous before and it did not really “speak” to me. I didn’t get it and I don’t think that it did anything for me. However, at the same time, I know that there have been times in my life that I ate to suppress my feelings. Some people might think that this is funny…. but its just like Alcohol or anything else that is used to change your mood.

Anyway- as my wife says sometimes…. I am rambling, but once again, the point is that if you will get in touch with yourself…. not rush around, live more “serenely” —– this whole lose weight/keep weight off thing gets a bit easier.

P.S.—- The Two Fit Chicks talk about this some on a pod-cast entitled “Intuitive eating” that you can get on itunes. Give it a listen…. good stuff.
