- Fun times with Dad…
I was raised by a single mother who did the best she could to raise me to be a man of good moral character, and respected social standing. My dad and her were never an item, so I spent most of my life without a regular male figure in my life as she wasn’t in a hurry to replace him. Throughout my life, I had a few “father figures” like older male relatives, friends fathers, coaches, etc that I gained bits and pieces of information on how a man should move in this world. Often these bits of information weren’t the best, but it was really all I had.

Thank you to the men and women of our armed forces who gave their lives for these colors...
No matter your political persuasion, I hope you will stop for a minute today, and remember the men and women who have given their lives in an effort to protect the peoples of this and other countries. If you don’t respect the wars they’ve fought in , respect the bravery and courage they displayed to put themselves in harms way so you and I wouldn’t have to. Every soldier that goes to war realizes that he or she may not make it back alive, yet they go, and they carry the hopes and prayers of their friends and family with them. If you know a war vet of any age, give ‘em a big hug today and tell them thank you for their loyal service to this great country that we live in.
We can never repay that debt, but the least we can do is take time from the cook outs and pool parties to remember those that have fought and died in our stead.
I personally want to say a big thank you to all our vets that sacrificed their lives in service of our nation, and my heartfelt condolences to their framilies who have to live with the loss. And I want to take this oppotunity to do a small part today to remember those we’ve lost. If you have a friend or family member that has lost their lives in battle, post their name here, along with your fondest memory of them. God bless America…

Whether or not you’re a football fan there is a very good chance you’ll be heading to a Super Bowl party this Sunday.
And as you are fully aware, these parties can be VERY hazardous to your waistline. But hey, it’s not hard to keep the pounds from packing on while watching (or ignoring) the Colts vs. the Saints.
Here are three Super Simple tips to keep you slim this Sunday:
1) Take a 15 minute walk during halftime to stimulate your metabolism and improve digestion
2) Limit alcohol consumption. Not only are these “empty calories”, but they also cause you to make poor food choices. And if you’re hungover on Monday, well, you’ll make poor food choices the day after the game, too!
3) Sure, you can enjoy some of your favorite “guilty pleasures” but you MUST avoid hanging around the snack table nibbling on everything in site.
BONUS TIP: Oftentimes when we feel hungry it is our body craving the proper nutrients it needs to be fueled with. That’s a great reason to take a Whole Foods based multi-vitamin like Prograde Nutrition’s VGF 25+
See, it’s not so hard! Enjoy the big game.
Yours in health,
