Yo!….The Team Really Rocks

by Fran on March 9, 2010

This blog today is not on food, but on another kind of nutrition -  feeding our confidence in what we do at Bootcamp.

thanks200900030Last night our boot camp session really rocked!

Why?

Because we had encouragement from the team. We did a particular difficult workout but we also had people saying “come on you can do it! 15 seconds!  bring those knees up! push it! last 10 seconds! come on you can do it! 5..4..3..2..1.. yeah”

WOW!!

Thank you Gretchen, your loud encouragement was great!

Dean and Nancy are great coaches and they work us hard while encouraging us to continue on but the TEAM and team encouragement is the key. The fact  that each one of us wants the others to succeed; again a big WOW!

Thank you TEAM, I can’t wait some days just to see your faces, and when your not there, there is a hole – a YOU size hole!

Thanks for “Making it Happen”

Move the Mass, Savor the Flavor, Hug the Mug!!

Words have not come easy for me on this topic, pooping, dumping, bowel movement, caca, the daily dump…lol, BUT if you aren’t doing it once a day then YOU  have problems with CONSTIPATION.

Fiber -  remember 8-12cups a day fiber? Fiber is the sweeper of your bowels. And if you don’t think you need to sweep your bowels on a daily basis then I would pose this question, all that food you eat, sitting in a closed container @ 98 degrees what do you think is going on there? RIGHT and RIGHT again, not good, pooh,(do you know why Piglet was looking in the toilet?, looking for Pooh) lol, stinky smelly stuff, whew!! rancid….FOOD

So we eat 8-12 cups of fiber and those little sweepers come along the alimentary canal, (nowhere near Panana Canal) and sweep those bowels of the food that is turning rancid and pushing it to go a little faster so that you can POOP IT OUT, lol

I may have been a little constipated with my words at first but I am just cracking myself up with this blog, and on top of that I have so many jokes (all perfectly in good taste of course) lol again. Poop at least once a day but if you are eating your 8-12 cups of fiber then you should be going more!,3,maybe 4 times a day. BUT a clean bowel is also a healthy bowel and if you have read any papers lately colon cancer is on the rise. Why? family history is certainly a big one, but how does that happen, lack of fiber in the diet? Lack of cleaning the bowel completely, food staying in the bowel for long periods of time, eating unhealthy food? Fast food(?) is not bowel fast, in fact it most likely slows our gut with the amount of hydrogenated oils and high fructose corn syrup, chemicals that are on our food, in our food, one thing leads to another.

We don’t like talking about bowel movements, but the way to be healthy is to take care of the second largest organ in our body and that is the bowel, first being our skin.

If you are over fifty and have not had a colonoscopy then plan one with your Doc. If you have a family history of it, your first one should be @ forty. If you have black tarry stools, then see your Doc again, if you have pain on moving your bowels you may have constipation, hemmoroids, or a blockage, all can be taken care of by seeing your Doc, eating healthy, 8-12 cups of fiber.

Go to Dr. Oz’s web site and read what he has to say about bowel movements, it is a very interesting show and it does bring many questions to the for front not excluding the back end (I know, bad joke)

OH OH DON”T FORGET WATER!!! We do know that water is very essential to the flow of our bowel movements, more water the less hard your stools and of course easy passage.

Ok! one last joke?  I’m doing it again..lol Move the Mass, Savor the Flavor, and Hug the Mug(you)

The Only Bootcamp in NH

by Gretchen March 5, 2010

While I’m way up north getting ready to ski, a woman approaches me and asks where the Get Fit NH Bootcamp is (I was wearing my fleece jacket).  I tell her we are in Epsom NH. Lo and behold she also attends a fitness bootcamp. So now we start swapping ‘war stories’… she tells me, they are out [...]
