Yesterday I read as my friends on FB and Twitter were elated! "Yes...football is back"...Lots of cheers and comments from everyone who seemed relieved and overjoyed. It made me so angry! As I watched the big press conference with Roger Goodell, the lawyers and the owners..my husband and I both knew it was BS. This ridiculous shining moment to yank our chain, yet again. As Hitman Harris previously tweeted..."you fell for it again!" They sat up there with their RATIFIED plan..looking like the white knights coming to our rescue. Knowing full well they were backing our players up into a corner. "Now.." they thought.. "players will have to agree or they will come off looking bad and the anger will shift to them instead of us". They also probably waited as long as they could before definitely losing the entire first week of preseason. Ka CHING! Their ratification may or may not allegedly include tricky little amendments that could bode in their favor if the players haplessly sign. We don't know. We'll never know. Here's what I know. Football is one of the few fun things we shell out money for. Even the entire year my husband was out of work, we paid for the NFL ticket on a credit card. The same credit card we used for food! Not knowing how..we were going to pay it off. So you'll forgive me.. owners..and players.. if I am now completely and fully fed up over your squabble with billions.
Yesterday I tweeted.. to quit tweeting and read the contracts. I am not mad at the players, I am just sick of hearing "we don't have a timeline" at the same time as "we just want to get out there and play". I really honestly would just like you to quit making phone calls into the sports news shows, and social networking and just get the damn thing done.
Personally I am not upset about the Hall of Fame game being cancelled. I just feel bad for the Bears fans that will be there for the long overdue awaited induction of our beloved SB20 MVP Richard DENT! Would have been nice to see and have a (totally meaningless) game to go with it. Just a Bears celebration kind of day!
So now I am going to stop reading any and all of this BS. I am going to turn OFF NFL network and ESPN and I am going to tune it out until someone tells me that the facility doors have been opened. Anyone who knows me knows how hard it is for me to turn my back on anything football! But I'm sick of being sick about it!
Enjoy your weekend and feel free to chime in!

Idioms to Live By
What is an idiom? The word idiom comes from the Latin word idioma. Websters dictionary describes it as .."individual peculiarity of language." An expression in the usage of a language that is peculiar to itself either grammatically or in having a meaning that cannot be derived by its conjoined elements. In other words, it seems to be something that would make no sense. But if you think about it more closely, some idioms make more sense than we might like to believe. You've heard the idiom (or phrase) "you are what you eat". Well it is true. If you eat bad foods you will become unhealthy. It should however be expanded to "you put out what you take in." If you...
Take in bad foods, you put out poor health.
Take in exercise, you put out a vibrant healthy beautiful body.
Take in good thoughts, you put out good words.
Take in knowledge, you put out confidence.
Take in bad television you put out things like depression, stress, anxiety and even violence.
As children we are told things in specific, concise, easy terms. What's commonly known as "black and white." As parents we teach our children this way too. It is the easiest way to learn. Leaving no "gray area", or interpretation. We then grow up and make everything so much more difficult on ourselves.
Did you ever stop to think that some of these idioms, could be some of the best rules for life. After all we may all have different interpretations of the gray area.
For instance, have you heard "everything in moderation," or "too much of a good thing?" Our bodies and lives are aligned in a certain balance. Tip the scales one way or another and you may experience things like health or mental problems.
Do you wonder why sometimes you take "one step forward and two steps back?" perhaps that means you should be thinking longer about that particular step before you take it. Although "actions speak louder than words" you don't want to "get off on the wrong foot!"
Seriously, "haste really does make waste." And you will most certainly "reap what you sow."
These little wise philosophies are adaptable to our lives today. We have made everything in life so complicated while we are trying to "keep up with the Jones'"
Just remember to take in only good things, so that you will put out only good things. Things that you eat, things that you say, things that you look at or listen to. Keep your internal self, light and flowing. Remember that "honesty is the best policy" and if you "waste not you'll want not."
So come on and "jump on the bandwagon", simplify your life with some idioms, and leave the "whole nine yards" behind.

How to Start an Exercise Program, Really.
With all the exercise programs on the market today, it's hard to figure out why a large percentage of the population is considered overweight or even obese. So the question remains, do any of them work? There's probably never going to be one straight answer to that question though, because some will swear by their methods while others will use the word "gimmick". For the majority of people the point of exercise is to get healthy, or to control weight. So no matter the best product on the market, if you don't use it, you won't lose it!!
So where does one begin a program that will work and will last? After all, it must be maintained in order to serve your purpose. Exercise is not something you can do for awhile, then be done with it. The benefits only last if the movement does!
Most experts will tell you to just pick something you like and then stick with it. But if you're just starting out, how do you know what you will like? You may feel like you could pour out countless dollars on a bunch of stuff and never find the right thing. It might be so overwhelming, that you just may not want to bother!
It's that point, where a negative attachment forms toward exercise. Now it just seems like too much! This is the point that becomes very important to focus on. You must put a positive attachment to your exercise regimen if you have any shot at keeping it up.
To even begin to get comfortable in any exercise program, you have to first get comfortable with moving! So before you start looking at videos or machines to instruct you and aid you, just start moving your body. The best "piece of equipment" for this stage is an audio player! Music. A stereo, a CD player or an mp3 player. Just put on some music and move your body. Right now you don't have to be "choreographed" to get a workout. That can come later. Find music with a good beat, that inspires you. Maybe something that you used to listen to in your younger days. It might bring back a good memory, and you could find yourself smiling! Now you've associated that positive attachment. Now you're moving, and smiling, and thinking about how silly you may look, and now you're laughing!! The endorphins are starting to kick in and you're actually getting a real good feeling. Exercise you see is the best mood enhancer out there today! You can't buy it, or market it, it's free! And legal!
There are things to know and guidelines to follow for an exercise program. In order to stay safe and avoid injury. You can and will have to learn things like that in good time, but you just don't need the "no pain, no gain" scenario yet. You just want to get comfortable with moving. You must get comfortable with your body. Yes, your body. So if you're not a big fan of your body, it's time to start embracing it anyway. That's right, you must be "buddies" with your body. Pay attention to it while you're moving it. The quickest way to lose and tone is to work you largest muscle groups first. So focus on your "core". Your abdomen and your back. Always trying to keep it tight and straight. Once you develop this area, your posture will improve and if you have minor back pain you may find some relief. (People diagnosed with back conditions should consult a specialist) But if you can generally dance at a function or special occasion, then you can start an exercise program! The other muscle group is the legs. The large leg muscles are like a power booster for your movement. Large muscles kick start your metabolism which will make the movement more effective! Focus on those legs while your moving them. Bend them, lift them to your sides, kick or tap them to the front or the side (always keeping a slight bend at the knee). Concentrate on the fronts of them (the "quads"). Feel how they are responding to your "movement", then focus on the backs of them (the hamstrings) and feel their movement during the exercise. Picture them in your mind, picture how you want them to look. Feel them beginning to look that way as you move them. Later on there will be time to focus on how many "reps" and how may "sets" and things like that. A strategic set of movements will get you to your goals quickly and evenly, but it is not necessary to get started. It begins with just getting comfortable MOVING, and tuning in to your body! Everyone can do it.
Music is such a big motivator. Maybe the music on those exercise DVD's is not your "cup of Tea". That could be enough to help you lose motivation and give you that excuse to quit. So don't forget to pay attention to your mind too. Find the music that inspires you and makes you want to move, and keep finding more. Use lots of variety, old favorites, new favorites, different genres, try some belly dancing moves to some Latin tunes. Make up your own line dance to country, kick and punch to rock and roll, whatever you like. You name it. The possibilities can be endless. And before you know it, you may just be confident enough to go join a gym, or commit to tennis with your neighbor. The confidence you'll gradually gain (and the weight you will start to lose) will be the motivator you need to change and customize. Keep in mind that muscle is denser than fat, so if you're a scale watcher, try not to be. A small weight gain may show up if you're working a lot of big muscle groups, but even with that weight gain, you're appearance and shape will still be changing and will probably look better than before. (Note* it is hard for someone to see their own bodies changing, remember that). If you feel like you don't see changes, pay attention to what your friends, co-workers and loved ones may tell you. They might not be complimenting you just to "be nice", they may really be seeing the difference. And more than likely they will see it before you see it on yourself. Then take those compliments and fuel yourself to the next level. Kick it up a step.
So the way to start and continue an exercise plan for life, is to create your own starter workout, you can't get any more "customized" than that! Then you can start to investigate everything "out there" and find the thing or things that will work for your lifestyle!

What's the Deal with Over the Counter Antacids?
Antacids (like Tums, Rolaids, Maalox) neutralize digestive
acid that's in the stomach. H2 blockers (like Tagamet,
Pepcid and Zantac) stop the chemical histamine from sending
the signal to your stomach to produce digestive acids.
PPI's (like Nexium, Aciphex, Prevacid and Prilosec) block
the secretion of digestive acid into the stomach in its
acid-secreting cells or "pumps."
The problem with all three of these pictures is that your
stomach NEEDS digestive acid!
That's right. The stomach MUST have acid to digest and
utilize the proteins you eat.
So whether you neutralize the acid, halt the signal to
produce it or block the acid "pumps," you're completely
obliterating your digestion.
As a result your food ends up sitting in your stomach for
8 hours or more, fermenting, rotting and putrefying.
That means gas galore.
Plus constipation, cramps, diarrhea, regurgitation, sour
burps, heartburn, you-name-it.
Plus you don't get the benefit of the nutrients from
poorly digested food, either. So you feel hungry again
even when your stomach is stuffed with the rotting mass
inside it--it's almost like you're malnourished.
If you do eat something at this point, it just adds to the
rotting pile.
And once the antacid, H2 blocker or PPI wears off, the
cycle starts all over again.
This is incredibly dangerous.
Eventually you get to the point where the antacid, H2
blocker or PPI doesn't work as well as it seemed to before.
So you go back to the doctor, who either puts you on
another drug, or ups the dose of the one you're on and
sends you on your way.
The big picture here is you end up on the white coat
treadmill, with no significant improvement in your acid
reflux, and on drugs for what looks like the rest of your
pain-filled life.
And, by the way, PPIs are only meant for short-term use (6
months or less). They haven't even been tested for longer
use!
The list of side effects and adverse reactions is
staggering.
Go to Google and search "Nexium side effects"
Here's what you need to know: What causes acid reflux is
NOT the stomach doing its job and secreting acid.
It's the OVER production of acid caused by acid-forming
foods and bad combinations of foods.
Eating the way I learned in Great Taste No Pain and you will
be like the thousands of former acid reflux sufferers I've
helped and you'll say goodbye to your symptoms AND goodbye
to the drugs for good.

In GTNP you'll learn exactly what foods are acid creating
(they're not what you think they are).
You'll see how easy and delicious eating correctly
combined meals is, thanks to my easy to read manuals and
meal planner.
And the best part is the results happen FAST! Most people
see a drastic improvement within a day or two...a few days
max, and many stop their stomach drugs within a week.
Instead of spending time and boatloads of money on the
white coat treadmill taking one drug after another for the
rest of your life, why not make a one-time small purchase
for something that will rid your acid reflux for good?

The Calcium Scare
One of the scare tactics used by the dairy industry is
that dairy products are essential to make sure you have
enough calcium.
This is simply not true. Completely false. The truth is--
and this is backed up by the medical records of millions
of arthritis and osteoporosis sufferers--the MORE milk you
drink, the LESS calcium you have in your bones. Fact.
Hard to believe, huh, especially with all the doctors and
commercials saying exactly the opposite?
This is partly because the calcium in dairy products (or
any other source such as supplements) is basically useless
in an acidic body. Dairy TAKES calcium, it doesn't GIVE it.
You see, when your body is overrun with acid, it uses its
own alkaline minerals, including calcium and magnesium,
from your bones and muscles to neutralize that acid.
So you don't get the benefit of the calcium from dairy or
any calcium supplement either, because it's used up in the
fight against the acid in your body, too.
There are literally hundreds of thousands of scientific
pages written on the dangers of dairy products.
The bottom line is this: Dairy products are NOT good for
you. They are NOT a health food. And they're NOT
essential to get calcium.
They are the perfect food to eat if you want to be sick,
overweight and diseased.
