Te unortunate thing about this world is that good habits areso much easier to give up than bad ones.

~ Somerset Maugham

365. Tat’s the number o days in a year. It’s also the number o opportunities you get to make a change, hopeully posi-tive. Whether it’s a personal goal you’d like to accomplish,or someone else’s lie you want to make better, each day youare given a choice: continue to do things the way you’ve beendoing them the previous 364 days. Or do something else.

Jan. 1 is the day many o us make our New Year’s reso-lutions. Statistics vary, but most research indicates upwardso 50 percent o Americans make resolutions, many o them health-related. For many, it’s a mere three weeks laterthat most o those good intentions go by the wayside. Fastorward 24 months and you’ll nd 84 percent o those peoplehave allen o the resolution wagon.

I’m not in the habit o making New Year’s resolutions.Unless you really “work” your plan it’s usually a recipe orailure. And, really, i something is that important, why put

O

ver the past ew months I have beenattempting to explain the ve basic

principles o the Chinese martialart and health exercise ai Chi Chaun. I havealready covered (1) relax (2) body uprightand (3) separate yin and yang. Tis bringsus to the ourth: urn the waist. All o theseprinciples are to be practiced together. Teai Chi player is asked to be totally relaxed

everywhere while moving through the ormwith the head oating upward, avoiding

leaning and taking empty steps. All o themovements are directed by the waist; thearms and legs never move without propul-sion rom the center. Tis is the ourth prin-ciple, but it is also so much more.

Te main reason I began learning aiChi was or its healing aspects and one o

the most powerul “tricks” that I alwayson to my students and QE clients has t

some existential dilemma. Chinese medicinespeaks o a host o troubles rom too muchchi being stuck in the head. Te x is easy:Move the chi down. How to do it may notbe so easy.

We start with the acupuncture point antien: Tree o your ngers below your belly button, with your rst nger in your umbi-licus, directly under your third nger onyour center line is an tien. It is said that theactual location is three units toward the ronto the body and seven units rom the back.It is about a st-sized area that is an energy plexus. Tis is the place to put your atten-tion. Tis is the place to put your mind. By moving rom this point, we can gain greatbalance and awareness o the things in ourenvironment. Beore we were born, we wereconnected to our mother’s body through theumbilicus and all o our nutrition and excre-tion came through that point. Although we

are no longer connected to our mothers, theenergetics o that connection is still there. Itis very common or us to hear that someonehad a “gut” eeling about something or anathlete who perormed so much better whenhe was able to get out o his head and play rom his gut. Tis is that ourth principal.

An exercise to try: Find acupuncturepoint Lao Gung, directly in the center o your palm. ap the center o each palm aew times and eel the location o that point.Locate acupuncture point an ien, threengers below the belly button. ap that loca-tion a ew times and eel the location o thatpoint. ake the right hand and place the palmcenter directly over an ein. Ten take thele hand and place it directly over the palmcenter o the le hand. You will have the twopalm centers lined up with the an ien. Youmay do this standing or lying down; sittingis a little more dicult. Spend ve to 10minutes eeling the warmth o your hands

on your belly while you breathe into yourhands. On the inhale, the belly should risepushing into the hands and on the exhale thebelly should all, bringing the hands down.Relax and see i you can put your mind inthat area. Tis can help with a host o physi-cal and mental maladies i done correctly.My great grand teacher, Cheng Man Cheng,said that this was the great secret o ai Chi

and the reason or his martial and heabilities. I you nd you are having troor success with the exercise eel ree toe-mail or come to one o my classes. I ound that even when I give detailed instions to students or clients they will do s

variation where things are not quite lineTis is not a big deal i you have a teato correct mistakes, but a student lear

scientic evidence would have you believe that only human beings are capable o complex eelings thatinclude love and hate. However, talk to any dog

or cat owner and chances are they’ll say that they love their pets and receive equal love in return.

Distinctive areas o the brain light up onMRIs when humans are shown someonethey love. Researchers at Albert EinsteinCollege o Medicine saw the caudate areao the brain — which is involved in crav-ings — become very active when study participants were shown an image o their signicant other. Another area that litup was the ventral tegmental, which producesdopamine, a powerul neurotransmitter thataects pleasure and motivation. Whether thesame occurs in pets is debatable.

to provide much o their necessities, rom ood to water to a saeplace to live, their motivation toward aection does not seemlinked to security alone. Cats have been known to travel hundredso miles to nd a prior owner who moved. Or i the cat has run

o, he can generally nd his way back. Dogs, similarly, have beenshown to mourn the loss o a loved one aer he or she has died,sitting outside o the room whimpering. Both dogs and cats havebeen documented as taking the proverbial bullet or their owners,attempting to save them when owners are injured or attacked.Cats have even been known to lick away tears.

However, experts still debate whether or not pets can eel love.Researchers at Penn State have oered that dogs and cats probably don’t eel love in the same way that humans do. However, they’velearned that by putting out cues that seem like love and aectionto people, they stand to gain more -- treats, ood, pats on the back.Dogs and cats may “love” us based on the reward o their behav-iors. I people no longer supplied rewards, the love would wane.One could say that it’s ironic that Pavlov was able to train his dogto salivate as a conditioned reex to a bell. For it seems peoplehave been conditioned to reward dogs and cats or the supposed“love” they are showing their owners.

Still, others have said there may be some basis to the conceptthat pets eel deep emotions. Jane Goodall’s research into primatesgives evidence that animals actually do have emotions. “From abehavioral perspective, it only makes sense that animals wouldexperience emotions,” she has noted. Goodall’s research suggeststhat social animals must be able to read other animals in theirsociety and must be able to maintain social bonds, much in theway pets orm a social bond with their humans.

Te jury may continue to be out regarding whether puppy dog eyes or purring symbolizes love or our pet companions are

just looking to secure their place in a comortable environment.However, there is no harm done when pet owners lavish aectionon their pets, especially i that companionship brings everyoneinvolved joy.

ost people are aware that permanent weight loss incor-porates activity and ood choices, and that watchingnot just how many, but what type o calories you get in

your diet is an important rst step. Eliminating rened sugars andcarbohydrates is a must, and so is choosing an exercise that youlove and sticking with it regularly.

However, there are well-studied herbal ingredients that giveyour metabolism a sae and eective boost and provide a real assist

when you’re trying to lose weight and make weight mainteneasier. o get in shape, give your metabolism a boost, and ats, you need the right botanical ingredients. Te best conation includes green maté extract, decaeinated green teaextract, and apple extract. Tink o this as the oundation or weight loss regimen.

your metabolism and helps the body burn extra weight withoutincreasing eelings o hunger.

In a comparison with 11 other herbs, only maté was shown tohave at burning eects. Maté has a complicated nutrient prole,including caeoylquinic acids (CQAs), caeine, theobromine,trace amounts o theophylline, triterpene sapoins, rutin, beta-carotene, vitamin C, B1, B2, pantothenic acid, nicotinic acid,potassium, magnesium, iron, copper, manganese, and aminoacids. Tis combination accounts or the herb’s well-deserved

reputation as a traditional tonic.1

One o the primary components in maté is caeoylquinic acids.Tey are powerul antioxidants and slow glucose absorption aera meal, so you don’t get a carbohydrate or sugar “spike and drop”that can lead to even more eating. Tey also help prevent theoxidation o LDL cholesterol, reducing the chance o it becoming“sticky” and orming clots. Te best extract should be standard-ized to contain 20 to 40 percent caeoylquinic acids.2,3

In traditional maté drinks, sapoins do make the taste o tradi-tional maté inusions bitter, but they also support digestion andmay limit the activity o lipase, the at-absorbing enzyme. But youdon’t have to worry about mixing up your own inusion. Look or acombination that includes a specialized encapsulated maté extractthat has been clinically tested or its caeoylquinic acids (CQAs)and (at-burning) properties. In act, this maté helps you reachyour weight loss goals in three ways: it improves energy, boostsmetabolism, and suppresses the appetite.4,5

One side note about the theobromine in maté: theobromine

contains no bromine — the name ‘theobromine’ comes ‘Teobroma’, which is the genus o the cacao tree. Cocoacontains many o the constituents ound in maté.

Green ea (Camellia sinensis) is well known or its muhealth benets. It supports cardiovascular, dental, digestive,skin health. It prevents and ghts cancer. And it’s an exceaddition to your healthy weight regimen because o its mogenic ability.6,7

Green tea polyphenols protect cells rom oxidative damage

help keep the body metabolizing calories properly. Te polynols you’ve probably heard about the most are known as epigcatechin-3-P-gallate (EGCG). Green tea helps burn caloriespossess a lipase-inhibiting activity that limits the amount ocalories absorbed.8,9 For weight loss support, a caeine-ree exthat is standardized or 95 percent polyphenols and 45 perEpigallocatechin-3-P-gallate is quite eective.

qeti: I keep hearing about the Mediterranean diet. Good,bad or indierent?Awer: Te Mediterranean diet is actually more o a liestyle,and does incorporate many healthy oods and behaviors. For many years, it has consisted o high levels o activity, low stress and a highly-moderated earthy and nutritious diet. Living in the United States,we don’t oen see the high activity and low stress combination very abundantly. But no matter where we are in the world or what oursituation is, ollowing a Mediterranean meal plan is never a bad idea.Teir diet is centered on small portions and an abundance o plantsources: ruits, vegetables, potatoes, breads and grains, beans, nutsand seeds. Tey strive to stay away rom any processed oods andtheir main source o at comes rom olive oil. Tey promote sh acouple times a week and red meats a couple times a month. Fruit is

the main option on their dessert platter. Teir tness guidelines arepretty broad, but they do recommend an amount o physical activity that promotes a healthy weight and well-being. In the end, the Medi-terranean diet is thought to be one o the healthiest diets out there.

qeti: I have a punching bag in my basement — could I beusing that to work out?Awer: Yes, absolutely! Using a punching bag, or boxing, is a

very unique and useul way to work out. However, simply punch-ing the bag with no routine or training can lead to injury. Boxingis a great way to improve the body’s speed, coordination, enduranceand strength. However, in order to properly utilizethis type o workout, you must be educated onthe dierent types o punches. I’m talkingabout the jab, uppercut, hook, body punch and so on. You should alsotry and use a basic routine until youget the hang o things, such as jab,cross, hook, repeat. When youlearn the basics o boxing, youcan begin to reap the benets,which include, most notably,

stress relie. We all know there’s nothing better than relieving a dworth o stress on a punching bag. Boxers also develop great ubody muscle tone and excellent endurance levels. Also, learningtechniques o boxing is a great way to develop sel-deense and cbe applied in real-lie situations i needed (though hope it isn’t).

qeti: Should I be eating my vegeta-bles resh or should I cook them?Awer: In truth, there are benets toboth. But one thing is certain — eating

vegetables, whether they’re grilled, roasted,baked, steamed, boiled or raw, is alwaysgood. Regarding this particular question,

though, it really depends on the nutrients inthe vegetables and how they react to temper-ature. For example, eating cooked carrots,spinach, mushrooms, asparagus and cabbage,amongst others, supply more antioxidants tothe body when they are cooked. omatoes haveproven to supply more lycopene when cooked,which is thought to reduce the risk o cancer andheart disease. But when it comes to water-soluble

vitamins like B-complex and C, eating raw vegetablesmay be the way to go. Studies have shown that cooking

vegetables with water-soluble nutrients can deplete theamount o these nutrients rom the vegetables and trans-

er them to the water. Unortunately, there’sno simple answer to this question. Te only w

to ensure you’re getting the most out o vegetables is to include a combination o

cooked and raw options.

it happened. Just admit it. On New Year’s Eve you put thesilly party hat on, popped a bottle o the “bubbly,” and thensang Auld Lang Syne in your loudest, prettiest singing voice.

Coness it…you then made a ew resolutions or the New Year.My three resolutions are among the top 10 resolutions made by

Americans. I am going to lose at least a ew pounds, perhaps evenmore. I want to slow lie down a little and ocus on the things thatreally matter, riends and amily. I am going to take care o spiritual,physical and mental health by eating better and sleeping more. Alsoincluded in the top 10 New Year’s resolutions are quit smoking,enjoy lie more, quit drinking, get out o debt, learn something new,help others and get organized. All are admirable goals.

New Year’s resolutions are made by 40 to 45 percent o the Ameri-can population. Seventy-ve percent o us will keep those resolu-

tions or one week; 71 percent o us keep them or two weeks; 64percent o us keep them or one month; and 46 percent o us willkeep those resolutions or six months. Te good news or those o usmaking resolutions is that we are 10 times more likely to succeed atour goals than those olks who do not make New Year’s resolutions.

It sure would be nice to have a little more help when it comesto keeping our resolutions and succeeding at our goals. Te

We try so hard to eat healthy whenpregnant. We head to the produceaisle or nutrient-rich ruits and

veggies like spinach. (It’s not organic, butit’s spinach or goodness sake!) We makeourselves eat said spinach. We clean ourhomes religiously to avoid germs that may harm the baby. We run around spritzing airreshener in our home to keep it smellingnice and everyone knows we are sensitive tounpleasant odors during this special time.And then we want to eel attractive in spiteo our growing waistline, so we may get our

hair colored or our nails done and dab somedesigner cologne on our wrist.

I hate to be the bearer o bad news, ladies,but none o those things are good or you oryour growing baby. Forget outdoor air quality or a second. Our indoor umes pack armore punch. Most cleaning supplies containchlorine bleach, that miracle chemical thatwhitens your whites and cleans your oorso well. It was invented to suocate enemy soldiers as a weapon o chemical warare.Tese products are absolutely not sae to use,much less when pregnant or in a home withsmall children.

Te designer perume that your husbandloves contains ragrance. Tough thissounds like a pleasant word, it is an umbrellaterm that means “a bunch o chemicals.”Manuacturers are not required to disclosethe components o a particular ragrance. Itis a loophole in the FDA’s regulations rightnow. So I will tell you a ew common ingre-dients that all under the ragrance umbrella.Te EWG studied several brand name prod-ucts and ound phthalates to be in morethan three-ourths o them. Tere was nomention o phthalates on the ingredientlabels. Tese are known to cause reproduc-tive and hormonal issues in animals! We’dlike our pregnant reproductive systems toremain unharmed, thank you. Fragrancesalso contain musk which are secreted inbreast milk and can be ound in the bloodstream. Tey have been linked to cancer. Notso sexy now is it? What can you do? Well,you can’t get other people to stop wearing

scented lotion or perume. But you certcan. Watch labels or the word ragranreplace this word with “birth control” inhead to be a smart aleck, but it’s kind owhen you consider that many o the chcals are hormone disrupters as well as reductive hazards. Opt or ragrance renatural products instead.

Most o us think to slow down on thecaeine, eliminate the alcohol and thetobacco, eat less sugar, the usual culprits o pregnancy issues. But what about the otherharmul substances we consume? oxins

can be ound in our water, in canned andprepackaged oods and on that cup o spinach we just blended into a smoothie.BPA and articial preservatives can be oundin canned ood. Lead and mercury can beound in tap water. Pesticides are generously sprayed on most produce.

Methyl iodide is a cancer-causing pesti-cide ound on strawberries, a Vitamin C-rich ruit very valuable or a pregnant momand developing baby.

Chlorpyrios is a pesticide so harmul tochildren that it is considered a brain toxin. Itis used widely on arms all over the country.It has been ound to decrease IQ and increaserates o ADHD in children. Tis was oundon apples, in addition to 41 others.

Te pesticide residue ound most oen

on apples is a known developmental toxin,Tiabendazole. Apples are the most heavily pesticide ridden produce next being celery and strawberries.

As pregnant women are encouraged toeat produce to help baby develop properly,so we are most at risk during this time.Pregnancy is a great time to go organic andat the very least, wash your produce thor-

oughly. Washing removes some o the harm.Unortunately, pesticides are absorbed rightthrough the peel.

I was bewildered when I ound the Envi-ronmental Working Group’s Shopping Guideto Pesticides in Produce list post-pregnancy.A large amount o the “healthy” produceI was eating during that crucial time wason the Dirty Dozen list. As a Brewer Dietollower and believer, I elt I was giving my baby a great start with all the produce I waseating: strawberries, apples, spinach, kale,grapes and blueberries. All o them weredirty, dirty, dirty! At that time I thought“organic” was code or “costs more and rotsquickly.” Tis is why knowledge is our besthealth deense.

Well-meaning parents or grandparents oen tell childrennot to do something with the warning that a serioushealth implication could result. Kids oen take their

elders at their word. But some o these warnings bear more truththan others. Here’s the scoop on some o the more commonmisconceptions.

Myth: swallow chw m tay th tomach o 7 ya.While chewing gum cannot be digested and is meantto be chewed and not swallowed, accidentally swal-lowing a piece here and there won’t cause majorissues. Tat’s because the gum will simply passthrough the digestive system whole and come outwith stool. I a large amount o gum is swal-lowed in a short period o time, then therecould be issues, including constipation andintestinal blockage in children.

Myth: i yo kp yo yco too lo, thy wllt tck that way.Te muscles in the eye are just like any muscles elsewhere in the body. Although they may tire and get sore, they are relatively resilientand can take a lot o wear and tear. Crossing youreyes may tax these muscles, but you won’t do any permanent harm. Rest assured that crossing theeyes will not leave them stuck that way.

Myth: go ot wth wt hawll mak yo ck.Although you will eel colder stepping outside with apart o your body wet, it won’t make you more suscep-tible to catching a cold. Researchers at the CommonCold Research Unit in England once tested a group o

volunteers who were given the cold virus. One hal o the group stayed in a warm room, while the others took a bath and stood wet in a hallway or a hal hour. Tewet group didn’t catch more colds than the dry.

Myth: Cov yo ha mot mpotat bca yolo 75 pct o yo boyhat thoh t.Tis calculation is more or an inant whead makes up a greater percentage o his o

body. In an adult, the gure is closer to 10 percHeat can escape rom any exposed area o the bTereore, it is helpul to bundle up all areas obody when spending time outdoors in the weather.

Myth: do’t wm ht at atTe basis o this mantra is that when digesting the digestive system pulls blood away rom the muand the idea is that you could cramp up and droWhile you may have less energy to swim vigorochances are you won’t be so weak as to drown.

Although many health myths prevail, knowingtruth can help parents educate their children babout which behaviors are sae and which are risky.

i recently went through a big change inmy lie. Going through a ew days o grieving; I was thinking I had to start

all over again. Overall, I was not eeling very good about it. Tinking on this andseeking spiritual guidance led me to achange o heart. Realizing that, no this isnot a step back or even a do-over, this wasa step orward. Even though my circum-stance had changed, it was not necessarily a step back. Once I rmly established thisthought I began to eel empowered.

Is this just a matter o semantics? No, not

at all. Te rst way o thinking I describeddenitely had undertones o helplessness.“Whoa me, I have to start all over!” Instead,I began to eel empowered by knowing thatI was stepping orward with a new begin-ning. Maybe they were baby steps, but they still got me moving ahead in a positivedirection. Te rst description was a ormo being in a victim role and the other wasa role o embracing change. Can you eel

the dierence in energy, or the energy that I made?

It can be easy in times o diculty or sto discover that we have allowed oursto wallow in the energy o victimhoodwith practice we all can learn to shi the role o victim to one o empowermIt does take practice like I said but mthan anything it takes an increase o awness as to what role we may be in.

We are all creative beings andthat creativity feeds our spiritCreativity can be a catalyst fo

positive change in your life.

eng shui is the art and science o placement o our possessions in ourenvironment, and chi is the uniy-

ing principle o energy linking everythingtogether. Chi is the leading actor aect-ing human lie. It is the orce that createsmountains and volcanoes, directs streamsand rivers, and determines the colors andshapes o trees and plants.

In eng shui, experts look or veins o nourishing chi and then channel and reneit to enrich the lives o residents. When ourpossessions are properly placed according tothe basic principles o eng shui, they supportproper chi ow — the underlying aim o eng

Let’s begin this year by putting on our‘eng shui eyes’ and looking at our surround-ings in a completely new way. When we dothis, we begin to realize that everything hasan eect on us. Te chi o a house aects itsatmosphere and its inhabitants.

Consider that in some places we eelcomortable and happy, while in otherswe eel anxious or depressed. Some placesseem lively and bright, others cold, dank and overbearing. A beautiul entry way will‘li’ the energy and li our mood, while a

Oa yo homEvery home has what I call ‘creative chaos’ which is any work-in-progress – a desk top with current paperwork on it; an art studio orsewing room with a project laid out that’s currently being workedon. Tis is ‘active chaos’ and usually does not cause any problems.It’s when these projects don’t get nished and pile up, and you have

no idea what’s under there. Tis is called ‘passive chaos’ or ‘stu that’s gone unconscious.’

One client literally threw hersel in ront o a closet door to stopme rom opening it. When I explained there are no ‘hiding places’in eng shui, she reluctantly let go o the door handle. When Iopened the door, stu was piled to the ceiling and came tumblingdown on me! Tere were clothes at the bottom o the pile that ther 8-year-old son who was now 28!

Clutter stagnates energy. Intuitively I sense it as a lake with stag-nant water; murky and clogged. Resolve to remove the clutter, andsomething remarkable always happens! When we let go o stu that is no longer serving us, we open the door to attract things wetruly love. It’s a wonderul cycle. Make it a wonderul year!

American Society o Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) say patients are making these choices in order to remain competitive inthe workplace.

When looking your best is at stake, one non-surgical and naturalsolution is CoolSculpting®. With more than 160,000 proceduresperormed nationwide, it is the sae, eective and non-invasiveway to reduce at in common trouble areas that tend to be diet andexercise-resistant. For men, love handles and abdomen seem totop their list o troublesome areas. Women struggle with outer andinner thighs, arms, buttocks and bellies.

Researchers at the Wellman Center or Photomedicine atMassachusetts General Hospital in Boston, a teaching aliateo Harvard Medical School, developed the patented technology behind CoolSculpting that cools at and destroys it, resulting inan undeniable reduction o at in the treated areas. At our practicein Oshkosh, our patients have experienced up to 22% reductionin at.

Te reason the technology works is it is a medical act that atis uniquely susceptible to extreme cold. CoolSculpting turns thetables on at by harnessing the power o cold to naturally trigger atreduction. argeted at cells crystallize, break down and then areeliminated through the body’s natural processes.

CoolSculpting takes about one hour per treated area and mostpatients are able to rest, check email or read while undergoingtreatment. Tere is minimal discomort with the treatment, nodowntime and most patients can resume regular activity immedi-ately aer treatment. It is FDA-cleared and results can be seen asearly as three weeks ollowing treatment, with the most dramaticresults aer two months.

CoolSculpting is a proprietary, patented technology and is theonly method o non-invasive at reduction that uses a coolingmethod backed by Harvard research and clinically proven to beeective. CoolSculpting is not a laser-assisted or ultrasound atreduction technology. It eliminates at in target areas withoutspecial diet supplements or exercise programs, and results are longlasting and sustainable with a healthy liestyle.

now that the holidays are over and excuses are a thing o the past, it is time to perorm. A lot o us drag our buttsout o bed, get into the gym and take on our goals that we

deeply expressed to our riends, co-workers and whoever else waswilling to listen. Tis is a good start because whatever motivatesus to get going, do it! I or one am not going to hold anyone back rom trying to increase their health and wellbeing. I say, “Congrat-ulations on taking that rst important step.” Tat said, it seems asthough there are many, many choices as to what program is bestor us to do because each program claims to be the best ever! Tey also make you think you can do this in less than a blink o an eyeand still get amazing results! Sounds too good to be true because

it is! You need time to devote or your exercise routine and it takestime to understand how your body adjusts to the demands youplace on it. Nothing ashy about that!

Te purpose o this article is to inorm you about choosing theright program at the right time and what to expect vs. what they will tell you what you will achieve. Te main thing you need issel-awareness. You need to be honest with yoursel. Ask yoursel,

“Can I do this? What is my tness level?” Most o us tend to t

we are invincible and can take on anything. ell us “you can’t”it’s go time! It’s human nature to think that way when we are lenged. So when all the hype is peaking post Jan. 1, we signor a tness class, a gym, or buy a DVD and jump right inknowing what our body can handle and not being preparedthe challenge. Most o us aer starting anew can barely movenext day without grabbing on to a co-worker or make it upstairs without wincing and whining about what a workout was! Sound amiliar?

You also need to understand that i you are new to tness (experience o working out is 0-3 months), you need a oundaWhat I am reerring to is building your body rom the groundYou wouldn’t build or buy a house without a oundation, wyou? Didn’t think so! You need strength training, cardiovasand an overview o your nutritional needs. Start out testing cardiovascular tness, take notes on what eels good, comorand challenging. Your body also needs time to adjust to stretraining because muscle strength can develop aster than tenstrength.

Higher intensities that involve jumping,sliding, swinging, throwing, etc. are great or those who have a solidoundation, but or those who are new to the game, you need to takeextra precaution due to the nature o the impact, stretch-reex, andhigh intensities or else you’ll end up on the sidelines.

All I am saying is be smart about what you are getting into whetherit’s a class, with a riend, or on your own. No matter your level, ask

questions, look or help and voice your concern i needed because i you don’t, only you will pay or it in the long run. I you need someassistance as to how to tackle this, there are solutions. Tey are calledcertied personal trainers/coaches. Find one! Any qualied andtrusted trainer should allow you to ask questions and provide someinsight on what to do. I they don’t, ask or a reerral. It’s best to sign-onor a period o time and let him/her guide you in the right direc-tion. What we do here or new clients is oer a jumpstart programcalled 2-Days o Free Fitness. Tis is or anyone and it allows us tomeet you, discuss your goals and tailor a program or your needs,plus teach you the principles o long-term tness to help guide youin the right direction no matter what age, ability or limitation youmay have. I have worked with hundreds o dierent people with alldierent levels o tness rom youth to active older adults. We havemany opportunities or those who want to improve their health, look,ability, and unction. I would like the opportunity to work with you.Just remember to be smart, and ask! Go get ‘em!

How many times have you heard “I could write a book”? Many people have stories locked up inside or have pages o notesor piles o journals about events in their lives. And many o

them would like to see those thoughts or pages published in a book.I you have notes thrown in a box, or journals piled in a dresser,

or thoughts in your head, they can be transormed into a publishedbook with the help o a proessional ghostwriter.

A ghostwriter is a person who writes a story or another person.Te story can involve documents, photos, handwritten notes or noneo those things. It can start with an idea, a manuscript or anythingin-between. It can be conveyed by phone, e-mail, snail mail, or ace-to-ace.

Te task o writing a book can be daunting. Some people takeclasses on lie-story or creative writing, hoping to secure the basicso writing well. Yet oentimes, they realize they lack skills, time,patience and eventually motivation.

A ghostwriter is paid to have the skills, time, patience and motiva-

tion to transorm your project rom an idea in your head to a book in your hands. A ghostwriter and author-to-be discuss the project,including the parameters, payment schedule, work assignments,milestones, and delivery date.

Je Schmiedel’s desire to write the story o his wie’s battle withbrain cancer kept gnawing at him. When Kris was doing well, shetalked with her naturopath about writing a book on how natural

healing was transorming her brain cancer. Ten her naturopathkilled in a car accident and Kris succumbed to the side eects anti-seizure medication. Even though she died, Kris lived 5 ylonger than the 4-8 month death sentence she was given.

Aer her death, Je knew deep inside that he had to share story with others so they would know alternatives to chemotherradiation, and surgery. Je is not a writer and the task weighed heon him. Je contacted several ghostwriters beore choosing onwrite his story. Te weight was lied rom his shoulders as he helbook in his hands and saw it released on Amazon. He eels nocan move orward and share their experience with natural healthhow it has impacted his lie, making him healthier than ever.

In another case, a 12-year-old girl experienced the death o14-year-old twin siblings within six days o each other in Au1955. Te polio epidemic devastated her amily; however, shetold i she cried, she was selsh. For more than 40 years, the grielocked inside her and aected her health.

In her 50s, she took a lie-story writing course and that’s whetears began to all and she was able to release her anguish. Aer pand years o writing, she was at a loss as to what to do with the bonotes, photos, and newspaper clippings.

ince none o us are guaranteed to see tomorrow, pre-deathplanning is an important consideration or anyone whowants to make it easier or their survivors should they die

prematurely. Just by taking a little time to document the nancialdetails that pertain to your amily can save hours o searching, notto mention the emotional strain coming rom being thrust into thenancial role without any preparation.

Tis may sound very simplistic, but the very rst thing we all needto do is to gather your nancial inormation into one le cabinet. Itis amazing how many dierent places nancial inormation is keptin many amilies. Some have part o their inormation at their oce,other parts at home, some in a le cabinet, some in a dresser drawer,etc. Tere are times when survivors nd important documents only by accident, and sometimes many years aer death. It’s estimatedthat as much as 25 percent o lie insurance benets are not paid to

beneciaries, and I’d be willing to bet that in many o these cases thebenets are not claimed because the beneciary doesn’t even knowabout the policy.

Once you have gathered all o your nancial materials together inone place you should take the time to review your nancial situationand make sure everything is up to date. Specically, it would be goodto do the ollowing:

1. update r will. I you don’t have a will, get one. Youshould consult a competent attorney who specializes in estate

planning or this, even i your estate is not expected to be largeenough to trigger an estate tax.

2. Make re all r aet are titled crrectl. Teway assets are titled has an eect on how they transer upon

your death. For example, a bank account held by two people as“joint tenants” transers dierently than i it were jointly ownedwith “right o survivorship.” However, consult with your attorney regarding titling issues as there can be risks involved when namingother owners to your accounts.

I you have established trusts as part o an estate plan, it will beimportant to make sure that any assets that are part o these trustsare also titled correctly.

3. Make re ctractal beefciar deiaticrret. Lie insurance, annuities, retirement plans

IRAs can all be transerred contractually by naming a benecTis means that the proceeds are transerred outside o theand need not go through probate. However, this makes it more important to keep these beneciary designations updat

4. Make re hae a facial pwer attre

nancial power o attorney simply empowers a trusted vidual to manage your nancial aairs should you become pacitated. It takes eect at such time that you can no longer hayour own business aairs, and ceases upon your recovery or d

In addition to the nancial power o attorney, it is importanote any automatic payments you may have set up to be withdrrom your checking account. I deposits are no longer madethe account, these automatic withdrawals could bounce, posaecting utilities, insurance coverage, debt payments, etc.

5. Ealate r lie irace eed ad prchaeadditial cerae, i ecear. As a general rule,

lie insurance coverage should be sucient to take care o nalmedical and uneral expenses, and also provide or income tothe surviving spouse. Te amount o income necessary will vary according to your personal situation, with more coverage usually necessary where the surviving spouse was not employed prior todeath.

6. Make r wihe kw. It is vitally important to makeyour wishes known when transerring nancial holdings or

any other asset with signicant value upon death. Tere could bemany items that aren’t titled, such as amily heirlooms, antiques,

valuable collections, etc. that may not be able to be transerred aseasily unless you make your wishes known. It is imperative thatyou state your wishes clearly in either a will or living trust.

7. nte all imprtat ctact. Tis should include yourbanker, broker, insurance agent, attorney, accountant, and

nancial advisor. Tis list is important because the survivingspouse may be able to nd all o the insurance policies and accountstatements, but be totally lost as to how to proceed rom there. Teability to contact a trusted advisor is very comorting during thistime o great emotional stress or the survivors.

Once you have all o your aairs in order and organized where

they can be ound, it is important that you document all o this ina concise manner. Tis documentation will serve as a guidepost oryour survivors to let them know what assets you have, where they are located and how they should be treated. Perhaps the simplest isa letter to the surviving partner detailing where all o the importantpapers are and how they should be handled. Another way to dothis is a summary le older along with your important papers thatcontains copies o statements or assets, special instructions, impor-tant contacts, etc.Charles Schmalz is president o East Wisconsin Savings Bank, with locationsthroughout the Fox Valley.

you practice yoga you will improve your immune system, your metabolism ring and the joints lubricated. You will heaeects o stress that exhausts your body and mind.

Kirtan, call and response group chanting, is a means to gout o our head and nd the warmth in our heart. It releasemind’s constant chatter and allows it to be quiet. Te vibratiosound produced creates a buzz o energy or a proound exence that uplis the spirit.

Breath work is another great way to warm up your bodysoul. ry this:

•Sit comortably, eeling the base o your spine sinking andsettling toward the ground.

•Concentrate your breathing at the center o your heart – y“inner sun”.

times.•Repeat above until you can sit quietly with the mind restin

adi peralit Katie Marx (the emale perspective on WIXX’spopular ‘Murphy In the Morning’

show) is no dierent rom anyone trying to loseweight. She wants to look and eel her best orher March 23 wedding, but she’s also thinkingahead to planning a amily.

“Te motivating actor or me was that Iwas concerned there could be ertility issues,”Marx says, pointing out that studies indicateexcess weight can aect ovulation and ertility.

She began her weight loss journey about a year ago, watching her calo-ries and working out. She successully dropped 25 pounds, but hit a plateauand the scale wouldn’t budge. Deciding she neededsome help, she visited Complete Nutrition, 2476 S.Oneida St., Green Bay.

Complete Nutrition is a health and nutrition storecommitted to helping customers look better, eelbetter and perorm better every day. Chad Kazel andhis partners opened Complete Nutrition in Green Bay on Aug. 4, 2010. Te store sells weight loss, sports nutri-tion and healthy aging products. Complete Nutritionsta members pride themselves on being knowledgeableabout health and tness.

Helping people

their best By JEnnIFER WALLA



“We don’t expect you to be an expert when you walk intoComplete Nutrition, that’s our job. We’re here to provide guidanceand advice rom the moment you walk in our store, and ongoing, tohelp reach your healthy liestyle goals.” Kazel says. “Everyone whoworks here has a background in health and tness, whether we’reathletes, personal trainers or nutritionists.

“Once you make that commitment, we can accelerate your resultsby doing our best to inorm and educate you on how to live a healthy liestyle, and to always make sure you have access to the very best

nutritional products on the market,” he adds. “We take a consultantapproach or every customer to make sure they get the products thatwill work or them. We don’t sell a cookie cutter product.”

“I was a little nervous to go in there, because it can be a littleintimidating, but I didn’t need to worry,” Marx says. “Everyone I

talked to was so nice and willing to help you withyour goals. Tey really want you to succeed.”

Marx began taking a variety o products to accel-erate her weight-loss eorts. One supplement is CS360 which is designed to attack at, boost metabolism,enhance energy, reduce stress, stabilize water levelsand suppress appetite. She is also a an o Dene-8, anenergy drink that she says has made a huge dierencein her energy levels.

“I used to take a nap every day, but I have so muchmore energy to do things,” she says. “It makes my work-outs that much better because I’m able to push mysel that much harder. It’s also improved my ability to getrestul sleep at night, which is so important anyway,but especially when you’re trying to lose weight.”

Sy Kunesh, Jr. heard an ad on the radio duringone o his many long road trips as a semi truck driver. Te announcer asked male listeners over theage o 30 i they elt tired, out o energy and physi-cally atigued, yet were still gaining weight every

year. Kunesh, who spends upwards o 11 hours aday on the road ve to six days a week, was easily 60 pounds overweight. He ate a lot o ast oodand drank a lot o coee to stay alert, and the only opportunity he had to exercise involved unloadinga trailer.

He decided to try a product called Charger 3 Pack, a nutritisupplement.

“Te active ingredients in Te Charger Pack replenish natural hormone levels and attack stubborn at. Te result leaner, more toned appearance and a youthul energy boost. you’ll experience enhanced sleep quality and an increased ntime metabolism ormula designed to help you lose weight wyou sleep and reduce stress and atigue the next day,” explains K

Aer taking the product, Kunesh immediately noticed his c

ings or ried ood disappeared and he didn’t need coee anymas a pick-me-up. Within the rst our weeks he’d lost more thapounds and continued to drop the weight steadily, his goal toabout 70 pounds.

“I was amazed mysel. My riends and amily and people I wwith are asking me what I’ve been doing. Tey can’t believelost so much weight in such a short time,” he says. “My ocusconcentration have increased a lot and I sleep so much better, he adds. “I’d tried ephedrine-based products years ago anddon’t get the jitters or the shakes on Charger like you did on tproducts. It’s really amazing.”

Both Marx and Kunesh like the personal relationships thedeveloped with the sta members at Complete Nutrition.

“We take the time to ask customers what they have tried, wworked and what hasn’t, and then we nd something that will wor them. We don’t just sell products. We provide guidance to gyour goals, too.”

o date, Marx has lost 75 pounds and is well on her way togoal weight. “Tere’s no way I’d be where I am today i I hadn’t gin to Complete Nutrition. It’s been really great.”

Last month you were introduced toa riend, DDP (Diamond DallasPage), a proessional wrestler who

went gluten ree more than 3 years agoand continues a gluten-ree diet today along with his new DDP Yoga. We alsotalked about the various health reasonssomeone may go gluten ree. Janet rom AGluten Free Zone continues her gluten-ree

diet because o a combination o manicdepression and Attention Decit Disorder(ADD).

O all the diets designed to manageADD or ADHD, the gluten-ree, casein-ree diet (GFCF) is among the more well-studied and recommended. Te theory behind the GFCF diet is that wheat anddairy products contain gluten and casein,

respectively — proteins that orm haramino acids called peptides when are digested improperly. Tese pepbehave much like morphine on the hubody and trigger hyperactive and inative responses rom children when enter the bloodstream. Parents who tried the GFCF diet on their ADHD dren have seen amazing results incluincreased attention span, improved s

skills and ewer incidents o aggresdgeting and tantrums.

Te theory behind using the diet something like this. People who are onautism spectrum and/or have ADHD not be able to properly digest gluten (wis the protein part o wheat, barley rye) and casein (which is a protein oin milk and milk products such as chbutter, yogurt and ice cream). When tproteins are not properly digested,theory suggests that they orm substawhich act as opiates in the body. In these newly ormed substances alterchild’s behavior, perceptions and respoto the environment.

Tere are many researchers whostudying the brain/gut connection their ndings are quite interesting. Hebut one study. In a 2006 study by Niehoer and Pittschieler titled “A Prenary Investigation o ADHD symptom

“Te data indicate that ADHD-likesymptomatology is markedly overrepre-sented among untreated CD patients andthat a gluten-ree diet may improve symp-toms signicantly within a short period o time. Te results o this study also suggestthat CD should be included in the list

o diseases associated with ADHD-likesymptomatology.”

Col a lt- t bth aw?While not every child with ADHD behav-iors is low in iron, magnesium or B vita-mins, certainly not all kids with an ADHDdiagnosis have celiac disease. Many kidsmight improve with a gluten-ree diet.Tose who have celiac and have not beendiagnosed would denitely improve witha gluten-ree diet once intestinal healingand better nutrient absorption takes place.Tose who have ood allergies to wheator other oods that include gluten couldalso see behavioral improvements on agluten-ree diet. Since ood allergies and

intolerances are known to signicantly aect behavior in both children and adults,addressing any ood allergies or intoler-ances could improve the symptoms o ADHD.

I a child’s ADHD symptoms aredue to a ood allergy or intolerance, likegluten or wheat, the child will certainly benet rom a gluten-ree diet.

I a parent eels that gluten intoleranceis an issue with his or her child, a diagno-sis o gluten sensitivity can be made with

it’s 2012. Have you considered your NewYear’s revolution?

I love the word revolution (Latin revo-lutio, “to turn around”). It is surroundedwith movement and passion. It is a transero power. It eels like getting to the end o the rope, being ready to move, ready to takeback what is yours. It speaks o the journey toyour goal, not the goal itsel. A revolution iscreated rom strongly held belies and values— more inspiring than resolutions. Howpassionate were you about your resolutionso years past? Are you eeling inspired andmotivated about creating some signicant

changes in your lie, or is what you tell your-sel ull o “shoulds” and “have tos”?

Tis year, consider shiing your ocusto that which really inspires you. Te ideao a New Year’s revolution is to approachlie with passion and vigor, to wake up andconsciously live your lie. Are you living your

values? Do you believe in meditation, yetkeep telling yoursel there is no time in yourday? Do you value good health yet makepoor ood choices? A revolution can getthings moving.

A personal New Year’s revolution is an atti-tude, an approach to something you desire.You will need to decide and commit, to be inthat place o “I have had it with what’s goingon!” “I am ready to be and do somethingdierent!” When we are angry or ed up, weare most clear about what we want; knowingwhat we want causes us to move towardsomething. Tis direction is more motivat-ing then moving away rom something.

Next, you need to have awareness regard-ing what you are doing, saying and being.Most o our lives we live unconsciously, ina trance. Tis is living by habit. Habits by nature are created by repetition, leaving us

with the ability to do something uncon-sciously. o change something, we need tobe aware o what we are doing, when we aredoing it. Ten, and only then, do we createthe opportunity to change. Tis is takingback your power, consciously choosing whatyou want to experience.

Have the courage to tell the truth, thewhole truth…to yoursel. Tis can be doneeasily when you have two things in place:an objective point-o-view and a kind inner

voice. When you tell yoursel the truth, youget to the root o the issue. You removeresistance and enter into acceptance whichcreates ow.

And nally, you need trust and aith thatyou have everything you need to succeed.You are more resourceul then you think.Consider that science now tells us thatour brain can re-wire itsel, it can be aseasy as changing our language. Tere aremethods and techniques (hypnosis, EF,

One Command, etc.) that get right intsubconscious mind and easily change tpersistent old habits. And the simpletechniques, ocus your attention on goal. As Buddha says, “We are what we t

All that we are arises with our thoughts,our thoughts we make the world.”

Keep yoursel on track by cooperand collaborating with others who similar goals. Focus on success, celebreach small step and keeping the sparks through persistence and determination.

No more resolutions. Start a revoluTe time or wafing is over. Commit totransormation. Decide right now that is your best year yet. Decide now to mthe ability to transorm your old, unprotive habits into something positive, protive and or your greatest good. Liveconsciously and revolutionize your lie.

Most o us think o the opportunity to volunteer as a gi we give toand or others, an opportunity

to make a positive dierence. Whetherwe dedicate our time, talents, or resourcesthere is no doubt volunteering has a posi-tive impact on our community, nation, andworld. What we may not have thought o is how volunteering can make an amazingdierence in our own lives as well.

Tere are many benets to volunteering.Being a small part o a community can instilla eeling o belonging. Coming together or acommon goal is a great way to connect withyour community while giving back. Volun-teering is about giving o onesel reely. Tedecision to volunteer is o your own accord.Tereore there is less pressure and a eeling o achievement and motivation that comes romthe desire and enthusiasm to help. Volunteer-ing can be a great way to discover and develop

a new skill that your current job or lie situa-tion does not oer. Te experience can bringtogether a wide variety o people rom dier-ent backgrounds. It allows or both personaland proessional networking opportunitiesthat may last a lietime. It aords that oppor-tunity to learn about people rom dierentwalks o lie. Discovering new interests andhobbies through volunteering can be un,relaxing, and help create balance in our lives.Volunteering can set an example or youramily, riends, co-workers and employers.It demonstrates a more complete picture o your commitment and dedication. Setting anexample o passion and motivation to make adierence that may inspire them too!

aking the time upront to consider your volunteer opportunity may have the biggesteect on not only how successul you are inthis role but also how personally gratiyingit may be or you as an individual. Askingyoursel what causes are you most drawn to?

Which one stirs your soul — compels you toget involved? What really moves you? Do youpreer to work alone or with others? How doyou eel about being part o a team? How muchtime do you want to donate and what level o responsibility are you comortable with? Whatskills do you have to bring to the table?

Aer careul consideration to those ques-tions, you are at a good spot to make thebest decision about where you will donateyour time. Tere are hundreds o opportuni-ties out there just waiting or your time andtalents. Local service organizations, librar-ies, schools, community theater, shelters andcountless global organizations, to name aew. You may even nd some that you haven’teven thought o beore. What about donatingblood? akes about an hour o your lie every 8 weeks and every time you donate you havethe opportunity to save someone’s lie!

It is no surprise that we as a communation and world are experiencing cult times. It can eel at times as i poschange eludes us. It can eel like it is toa task to take on. It may be true that noperson can change the world, but whatcan do through volunteering is make lie and your community just a bit brigand better.

i can nally sleep!

Tis may not seem like a big dealto the ordinary person, but to me, it

is probably the most signicant positivething I’ve experienced in recent weeks.

o explain, I had been struggling withback and neck pain since suering whiplashin a car accident over ve years ago. Teresidual pain and occasional headaches wereannoying but my main issue was insomnia.I thought I was doomed to an eternity o racing night-time thoughts and never beingable to sleep peaceully. Victoria L. Huss,Certied Roler™ o New Possibilities Inte-gration, LLC, helped me to change that.

I started seeing Victoria or Rolng® Struc-tural Integration (SI) sessions about ourweeks ago on a weekly basis and I begannoticing changes almost immediately. When

I started telling people about Rolng® SI, thetypical response was “Ralphing? What didyou say?” I would laugh because when I rstmet Victoria, she warned me that I wouldget that reaction because Rolng SI is stillpretty new to the area. I described RolngSI to people as a holistic way o improvingposture and getting joints and muscles to dotheir proper jobs. Te “technical” explana-tion or Rolng Structural Integration is thatit is a transormative bodywork and educa-tion system designed to align and balancethe body. Many o us have habits, accidentsand patterns “locked” into our posture andmusculature — causing chronic pain, inex-ibility and decreased mobility. Rolng SIocuses on the connective tissue (or ascia)to unwind this chronic strain and oer newpossibilities or standing, moving and being.

ypically, the best results are seen inwhat Victoria calls a “en Series,” which isa process o 10 sessions, each ocusing on

the ascia o specic parts o the body in sequential order.I wanted to dip my toes intothe water so I committed toour sessions. During the rstsession, Victoria took an exten-sive body and health history tobetter understand the possibleroot causes o issues plaguing me. She thendid a structural assessment where I walkedand perormed dierent arm and leg move-ments. While observing my posture andalignment in motion, she saw where Ineeded intervention and support. She thenproceeded to the manual therapy portion o the session where I laid on a table while sheworked on my ascia with her hands, elbowsand orearms.

Te rst session concentrated on releas-

ing tension and restrictions in my neck,shoulders, and ribs to help me breathemore easily. Te second session ocused onmy eet and legs—aiming or better balancebetween the right and le sides o my body.(Parts o that session where my eet weregetting worked on were intense but Victoriaalways made sure that I was comortable.)Te third session ocused on my sides andhips and elt amazing. Te ourth sessionwas a movement session which anchoredthe structural work o the rst threesessions. In this session, Victoria worked tohelp me become more aware o where I washolding tension in the individual

joints o my arms and encouragedhealthier muscle unctioning inmy neck and shoulder.

It is dicult to compare RolngSI to other healing modalities, butmany times, I elt I was getting a“deep tissue massage” o sorts. But

what was interesting was how long the reactually lasted. Aer the second sessionoticed that I hadn’t had a headache orweeks…a big success or me! Overall, I noticed that I am now walking lighter acan breathe much easier because my amove better and my lungs have more rto expand. My running has changed dumy workouts because I can now run loand without pain.

My experience with Victoria at

Possibilities Integration was amaVictoria has a way o helping you comortable, lighter, spacious and mexible. I would suggest to anyone exencing any type o chronic pain — or

just wants to eel better in general try Rolng SI beore resorting to suror pain medication. I eel so much band it was well worth the money! I reerred many people to New PossibiIntegration since seeing her and am excto hear their results as well. I eel like awoman! Tank you, Victoria!

Breathing may seem like a simple part o our busy lives andyet its simplicity breathes much needed wholeness into thedepth o our being. Many o us have likely heard or elt at

least one o many benets o breathing deeply. When I say deeply,I mean using our diaphragm as it was intended to be used.

Many o us, or many reasons, do not use our diaphragmeectively or breathing. Anxiety, depression, anger and many morecommonly heard emotions are requently caused by inadequatebreathing. Most babies use their belly breathing (diaphragm) as weare supposed to breathe. At some point in our lie, we may havelearned to deal with stress or emotionally upsetting experiencesby holding our breath. Tis cuts o our experience o the present

moment and colors our perception o our lives as we see it. Ourbehaviors and thoughts may mimic our breath pattern, which by the way is like our ngerprints, no one breathes exactly as each oneo us. Although, we may have learned to breathe in a similar patternto our parents or close relatives, just as we learned to react and seeour world very similarly to how our parents see their world.

Many people report that regular practice o using their diaphragmreduces their anxiety, depression, anger and shis their old tapes intorereshing, healthier new patterns. Numerous people that sueredrom asthma have said they stopped using their inhalers romchanging their old breathing habits. Others state they have a mucheasier time meditating or have deepened their regular meditationpractice rom breathwork. Aer some guided sessions rom a breathpractitioner, students may practice their breathwork on their own,which makes it a powerul and highly eective, sel-healing tool.

Sessions typically run about 1½ hours with the rst session laabout 2 hours, which includes an introduction to breathwork.

More research increasingly shows that getting more oxygenmany health benets. It’s amazing to hear how breathing in moxygen has changed many people’s lives.

How does sugar make you eel? For some o us it is really good; drug-like, complete with withdrawal. Others eat sugarso oen they may not even realize how much sugar is aect-

ing their health and wellbeing. No matter who you are, sugar in all o its splendid, sweet disguise can wreak havoc on your health. Sugarcauses inammation that results in muscle and joint pain, poor skinhealth, weakened immune unction and mood disorders like anxiety and depression, just to name a ew. Even knowing the potential oractual damage, sugar is hard to resist. Furthermore, sugar is every-where, showing up in oods where you would least expect it (it islurking in your rerigerators and pantries right now), as well as whereyou know it ought to be. aking a closer look might surprise you.

Te USDA recommends that the average person with a 2,000-calorie diet consume no more than 40 grams, or 10 teaspoons, per day.However, it is estimated that the average American consumes between32 and 50 grams per day! How do we gain control? Is it possible tolimit sugar intake without total deprivation? I have some suggestions

to help you break ree rom excess sugar without struggle and strain.

oc o whol ooI know you have heard it beore, but I am going to tell you again!Eating ruits, vegetables and whole grains that contain berslows down digestion. Te translation is that even i you have adessert aer a meal, it will have less o an impact on your blood

sugar levels than i you had eaten that same dessert on an emstomach. Whole oods also contain more nutrients than proceoods that can help your cells to deal with the stress o added sin the diet. ry roasting subtly sweet vegetables like sweet ptoes, squash, onions and carrots or a satisying side dish to reyour craving or something sweet aer the meal is through.

You will alsothat dark chocolate is loaded with healthy antioxidants andpositive eects on blood pressure. Fruit is another great optiosatisy your craving.

One o the most requently asked recy-cling questions we receive at theOutagamie County Recycling Facility

is, “Do caps need to be removed rom plasticbottles?” Te answer is always “Yes.” Here arethe reasons why:

•Te caps o water and soda bottles are madewith a dierent type o plastic (which we callresin) than the type o plastic that the bottle itsel ismade rom. Te plastic buyers we sell to cannot recycle the caps.

•Also, our recycling acility includes a specialized machinecalled an optical sorter. Tis optical sorter sends a light ray through the bottle to determine i it is a #1 PE bottle. I a capis le on the bottle, many times there is liquid trapped insideand the light ray can’t go through the bottle. Such a bottlewould not be captured by the optical sorter.

Te next question typically is, “I a cap is le on a bottle, does itmean that this bottle will not get recycled?” Te answer is usually “No,” assuming there is not a signicant amount o liquid inside.However, even i the bottle gets recycled, there are still challenges.Here is the reason why: I the cap is le on, the cap and bottleget baled together. When the bales o plastic are sold, the caps areconsidered a “contaminant” by the plastics buyer. We are allowed acertain percentage o contamination in each bale o plastic beoreour buyers will assess a nancial penalty to us. I there is toomuch contamination, the plastics buyer may reject the load andsend it back.

As mentioned earlier, i the cap is le on and there is liquidtrapped inside the bottle, the optical sorting machine is unable tocapture this bottle and the bottle will head to the trash compactoror landll disposal. Fortunately, we have a person on our trashconveyor line looking or recyclables that were missed duringsorting. Tis employee pulls o any #1 PE bottles that should berecycled. I there are too many plastic bottles with caps and liquidtrapped inside, the employee may become too busy to capture allthe bottles and they may end up in the trash.

You might not realize it, but we are on the edge o a hecare crisis in our country. Tat crisis is the coming epidcalled diabetes. Here is the problem. According to

Centers or Disease Control, there were 6 million diabetics inUnited States in 1980. In 2011 that number has quadrupled tmillion. What’s even worse is that there are also an estimatemillion prediabetics who don’t know that they are one step arom ull blown diabetes and the incidence is projected to at double in the next 20 years.

Diabetes is an ugly, devastating disease because it carriesollowing health risks:

• Increases risk or death rom heart disease by 2-4 times• Increases risk or stroke by 2-4 times•Te leading cause o blindness•Te leading cause o kidney ailure•Te leading cause o limb amputations•Causes birth deects in 5-10 percent o pregnancies•Causes spontaneous abortions in 15-20 percent o

pregnancies•Doubles your risk o premature death

Te amazing thing is that ype 2 diabetes is almost topreventable with proper liestyle choices involving diet, nutriand something else that you may never have thought about: disease.

We now know that diabetes and gum disease are intimrelated. Gum disease makes diabetes worse, and diabetes mgum disease worse. And this is signicant because studies sthat around 3 out o every 4 adults have some level o gum disTe combined impact o diabetes and gum disease is a recipdisaster.

Here is what you should know about the link between disease and diabetes:

•Gum disease makes it much more dicult or the diabeticcontrol blood sugar levels.

•Diabetics with severe gum disease have a premature deathrate eight times higher than diabetics without gum diseas

•Diabetics with gum disease have 3 times the risk o dyingrom combined heart and kidney ailure.

re you the type o person who tendsto beat yoursel up as the New Yearapproaches? Feeling the need to

lose 30 pounds, making spin class manda-tory, or orcing yoursel to walk the dog nomatter what? Te New Year does not haveto be a time to nd your aws, develop amission statement, and carry out an actionplan to resolve them all. As an alternative,perhaps you might consider easing into theNew Year, entering into 2012 with love andgratitude toward yoursel. Once you havethat in place, gratitude or others seems tonaturally ollow.

Here are 5 ways you can ease into 2012while building love and compassion oryoursel:

1. ake time to be still and becomeused to sitting in silence. Te power

o a regular meditation practice can haveamazing emotional and physical eects onthe human body. A recent study betweenthe University o Massachusetts and Massa-chusetts General Hospital has producedresults showing those subjects with aregular meditation practice decreased thesize o the stress center in their brain while

increasing the creativity and memcenters. Anyone can meditate. It just tpractice and consistency. You deserve tpockets o peace and your body and mwill thank you.

2. Consider a cleanse or ast to ayour sensitive and precious bod

rest. Tis need not be any long, extrdiet. You could simply consider pickingday per week or per month where youtake in things that are healthy and in liorm. Feeding our body only liquids day, here and there, we allow our or

to rest rom the digestion required withsolid oods. Tis can be especially helpul i you’ve had a bit o a “binge” with the holiday season, where oods served are oen notthe healthiest options or our bodies.

3. Develop an attitude o gratitude. ry thisexercise to increase your ocus on the

positives in any situation: take a blank sheet

o paper and draw a line, lengthwise, downthe middle. At the top le side write “Griev-ance.” At the top right side write “Opportu-nity.” On the le side list a ew things thatannoyed you or made you mad. Now, on theright side write the potential opportunity thatcould come out o that annoying situation.

Here’s an example rom a yoga class Itook while recently on a trip. Te personnext to me in class was a very loud breather,distractingly loud at best. Aer our daysin a row ending up next to her in class,and one lecture topic ocusing on ndingthe “teachers” in everyday situations, shebecame a valuable teacher to me. I tend tohold my breath during strenuous poses,but hearing her breath was a reminderor me to keep breathing. And you know

what? Once I was so concentrated on my own consistent breathing during class, I

didn’t even notice her anymore. Now that’sa abulous opportunity!

4. Be social. Find a hobby, pastime, orsport that gets you out and around like-

minded people. Having an activity to ocuson and look orward to helps distract usrom getting too wrapped up in the stresseso day-to-day lie. Soon enough you’ll noticethat during your activity you didn’t eventhink about that cranky co-worker who took the last o the coee this morning.

5. Lastly, consider taking just veminutes a day to daydream. We adults

don’t take enough time to relax and openour minds to receive ideas, eelings or

visions. I you aren’t sure how to get started,

think to yoursel, “What would I doknew I could not ail?” Your thoughts

take it rom there. Just let them come atno matter how silly or huge the ideas mseem. Tis is a great exercise in creator your brain and your spirit. Many tthese daydreams hold some kernel o tso don’t be too quick to brush o

visions. You never know what you migcapable o i you listen to your heart!

Wishing everyone a happy and adant New Year.

What thy a a a w tt actBacteria are minuscule, one-celled organisms that can only beseen with a powerul light (1000X) or electron microscope (we’retalking INY). Tey can be so numerous that a pinch o soil cancontain millions o organisms. Bacteria are tough — they occureverywhere on earth and have even been ound more than a miledown into the core o the earth.

Bacteria can be classied into ve unctional groups. Auto-trophic (literally, sel-eeding) bacteria are photosynthetic. Tey

are the primary producers. Decomposers consume soil organicmatter, plant litter and simple carbon compounds, releasing thenutrients in these substances or use by living plants. Mutualists,such as nitrogen-xing bacteria, orm associations with plantsand help them absorb nutrients. Pathogens are the bad guys —they cause disease in plants. Te last group, the chemolithotrophs(literally, chemical and rock-eating) obtain energy rom mineralsrather than rom carbon compounds.

Bacteria are common throughout the soil, but tend to be mostabundant in or adjacent to plant roots, an important ood source.

Actinomycetes are a broad group o bacteria that orm thread-like laments in the soil. Tey are responsible or the distinctivescent o reshly exposed, moist soil.

Why thy a mpotatBacteria are important in the carbon cycle. Tey contributecarbon to the system by xation (photosynthesis) and decomposi-tion. Bacteria are important decomposers in grassland environ-ments. Actinomycetes are particularly eective at breaking downtough substances like cellulose (which makes up the cell walls o plants) and chitin (which makes up the cell walls o ungi) evenunder harsh conditions, such as high soil pH. Some management

activities, particularly those that change nutrient levels in thecan shi the dominance o decomposers rom bacterial to uWhen one group becomes dominant where it shouldn’t be, tis also a shi in the rest o the system. Te shi rom bacteriungal dominance, or instance, can enhance the conditions aing weed invasions on rangelands.

Bacteria are particularly important in nitrogen cycling. Fliving bacteria x atmospheric nitrogen, adding it to the soil ngen pool. Other nitrogen-xing bacteria orm associations

the roots o leguminous plants such as lupine, clover, alalamilkvetches. Actinomycetes orm associations with some leguminous plants (important species are bitterbrush, mounmahogany, clirose and ceanothus) and x nitrogen, whicthen available to both the host and other plants in the near vity. Some soil nitrogen is unusable by plants until bacteria conit to orms that can be easily assimilated.

Some bacteria exude a sticky substance that helps bindparticles into small aggregates. So despite their small size, help improve water inltration, water-holding capacity, soil stity, and aeration.

Wait! Aren’t there also “bad” bacteria? Yes, there are, but ssoil bacteria suppress root-disease in plants by competing pathenogenic organisms. Te key is in maintaining a hesystem so that the good guys can do their work.

Bacteria are becoming increasingly important in bioremetion, meaning that we (people) can use bacteria to help us cleaour messes. Bacteria are capable o ltering and degrading a

variety o human-made pollutants in the soil and groundwatthat they are no longer toxic. Te list o materials they can detoincludes herbicides, heavy metals, and petroleum products.

It is best to fill out your Personal Symptom Chart at the same me each day.This will help you determine the patern and severity of your symptoms and how closely they relate to your period each month. If you are not cycling any longer or are having irreg

periods this will help you to track the frequency and severity of your symptoms. Afer you have carefully tracked your symptoms for two to three months you may want to discuss

your findings with your healthcare provider. Rate the level of your symptom’s severity: 1 = Mild 2 = Moderate 3 = Severe None = Leave Blank

Unortunately, many women (and theirpartners) do not understand the power thatthese amazing chemical messengers have tohelp us eel our best…or eel miserable! Mostpeople are unaware o the remarkable impactthat our hormone levels have on our moods(crabby, irritable, depressed, anxious), sleep(can’t all asleep or stay asleep), thinkingability (why did I come into this room), sexdrive, bone and cardiac health, skin anddigestion, to name a ew. In my wellnessand hormone practice, I see women every day who are suering – some are simply tired and worn out and others (and some-times their amilies) are downright miser-able. Oen these women don’t understandwhat is happening to them or why andtheir doctors have not been able to providea medical explanation or their distress. Itmay be as simple as their hormones are outo balance due to a poor diet, too much work and not enough play and/or their ovaries arebeginning the slow journey to cessation o menstruation called menopause.

It is a great idea or women to track their

symptoms on a Personal Symptom Chartorm each month. Tis is one o the easiestand best ways to determine the pattern andthe severity o your symptoms related to yourmenstrual cycle. It is best to ll your chart outon a daily basis at the same time each day.Many women tape their chart to the insideo their bathroom cupboard and ll it outaer they brush their teeth at night! You canthen share your charts (two to three monthso data is usually best) with your healthcareprovider to decide together what is the mostappropriate treatment or your symptoms.

It can be very enlightening to study yourSymptom Chart as reoccurring symptomsmay appear around the same time duringeach month. Realizing that your symptomsare hormone related can help you and thosearound you understand better why youare eeling the way you are eeling. Pleasedownload the Symptom Chart on my Website (www.wisewomanwellness.com) and

monitor your symptoms monthly to help youidentiy your body’s hormone changes.

Most American women are done menstru-ating by age 51, but some women stop as early as 40 or as late as 58. Tis change in ovarianhormone production, coupled at times withthyroid gland dysunction plus poor sel care is a bad combination. It is possible tohave your hormone levels checked via blood,urine or saliva test. I typically order salivatesting as it represents the ree amount o estrogen, progesterone and testosterone inyour body and the results are consideredby some experts as more precise. Whateverorm o testing your provider recommendswill likely give helpul inormation to guideyour treatment options. My preerence is toprescribe liestyle medicine rst – improveyour diet, get active, decrease your stressand work to improve your sleep. I this is notenough there are many herbal supplements,

vitamins and minerals that can supporta woman’s body as she is going throughhormone changes. When necessary there are

or the past 10 years, pole dancinghas been ghting to gain legitimacy as a orm o exercise. Te stereotype

o a G-string and 8-inch platorm heels nolonger applies to this genre o dance andgymnastics. Pole has evolved into an inter-national sport with competitions through-out the world and a bid to become a trialsport at the 2016 Olympics.

Originally rom Wisconsin, I was

introduced to pole exercise while livingin Australia on scholarship or my Ph.D. Iwas researching unctional strength train-ing programs that could reduce injuries inmusicians. In Sydney it seemed like therewere as many pole studios as yoga studios.So I started researching pole exercise. Itwas obvious rom the start that my precon-ceived notions o Wisconsin pole dancingwere completely out o date. Tese women

are elite athletes. Seeing the blatant athcism was really intriguing; I didn’t ka emale body could be curvy and cstrong at the same time.

As a diligent researcher, I needetry out a pole. So I went to Studio Vin Sydney. I chose Studio Verve becit was ounded by a ballerina who reher toe shoes and picked up a pole. background intrigued me because I,so many other girls, always wanted t

graceul. At rst I was really nervowasn’t used to wearing shorts and hadlimited physical tness and coordinaTree previous knee surgeries madewonder i I should even be attemptingAll my sel-conscious moments went awith the rst spin. Tis was FUN!

Aer my trial class, I signed up o8-week course. Within two months Ia pole addict. I had lost 5 pounds dnothing else dierent. My knee paindecreased as I started strengthen my bMy shape was changing to become and lean. I went down a pant size inhips. But I didn’t keep doing it or anthose reasons. I became an addict becit made me eel beautiul and strong. gave me a sense o empowerment. Atime I didn’t realize that this is commowomen who take to the pole.

ar behind we were when it came to poleexercise. I ound mysel embarrassedwhen telling riends in Wisconsin whatI did because o the misinormed strip-per comments that would ollow. Uponmoving back I didn’t have access to a poleor 9 months and I missed it, horribly. Icould eel my strength decreasing. So Iput up a pole outside, strung between twotrees, and started working out again. I grewa thick skin to ignore the inappropriatecomments and took the attitude o “they

just don’t get it.” I took a ew photos o mein very hard moves to show people whenthe topic came up, as it always seemed to.I ound it is best to show people a movethat looks almost impossible, so they couldunderstand the athleticism. Aer a ewmonths I started having people ask meto teach them. In 2010, I opened AerialDance Pole Exercise, LLC, in Appleton.

Since then, a lot has changed or polers

in Wisconsin. Tere are 600 poleschools in the U.S., 75 in theMidwest. Wisconsin has schoolsin Milwaukee, Madison and Appleton.Pole is also becoming a mainstream tnessactivity with exposure on “America’s Gotalent” and other V reerences. TeMidwest had its rst national competitionin August 2011. Te diculty level in thesport is ever evolving and pole is beingused in new ways. It is now a successultool to help rape and trauma victims regaintheir sense o sel. Te pole community hasunied behind the Pole Fitness Associa-tion and International Pole Sport Federa-tion, which set proessional standards. Allo us in the pole community know howempowering pole can be and are no longershy to spread the word.

No matter how the sport evolves,thing has remained constant or me. time I’m on a dance pole, I eel like a kid out at recess. Te worries o thedisappear. I get excited by the possibilicompleting a new move. I love the creity o making a sequence o moves wwith music. As someone who was so wor most o my adult lie, I love that gives me courage to try new things andbelie that with time and work new heare possible.

The New Year or many brings about a time o resolutionand looking at the things they want to change in their lives.Tat’s a positive way to approach the beginning o a year;

lled with hope and renewed vigor to adjust the areas that you eelneed adjusting.

Tere are others that look at resolutions as utile and ridiculous.Tese are the people that proudly proess that they don’t makesuch silly promises or state that they don’t need to wait or thebeginning o a year to make signicant changes in their lives. othat last comment, I say, “Hurrah or you!”

Personally, I tend to all into a third group that likes to take thetime at the beginning o a New Year to look back at what the oldyear brought to pass. Within it are lessons that can be learned,patterns that can be more clearly seen and hidden blessings thatcan be ound.

Oen we don’t take the time to see the deeper meaning threads its way through our lives. Instead we rush headlongthe next event ahead o us, seeking out what we want to chanever realizing that the key to unlocking the door to real lasting change is ound by rst looking into our past.

When we look at our lives, it is easy or each one o us to qupick out the areas we want to improve, or alter. Yet, ew will taktime to look over the past to see where the seed was planted thagrown into the lie they are now experiencing. Tey aren’t di

Tankully, I was out o work or much o this year and wasable to be there over this period o time. Sure, the adjustments andtransormations that had to occur having lost the ‘day job’ createdsome stress. Yet, it wasn’t nearly as dicult when the underlyingblessings were remembered. Out o which has arisen a deeper inti-macy we share than ever beore.

Tere were many more ‘events’ that played out through the pastyear with people moving in and out o our lives. Some I’ve been sorry to see go, others le o their own accord while showing the true nature

o their character along the way. Yet, within every event, person andcharacter there were blessings to be ound and lessons to be learned.

Trough the recognition o the blessings, the patterns o theevents and the lessons that we acknowledge, true resolve can beound. Out o this reection arises an ability to take ownership o our lives and truly transorm with a deeper understanding o whowe truly are and what we need to alter within ourselves to makelasting changes in our lives.

Tis is the lasting resolution. Te one that continues within uslong aer we’ve given up the diet or let the gym membership expire.Tis kind o reection transorms our inner core and allows us toclear away the blockages that keep us rom living what we dream ispossible. It also allows who we truly are to bubble orth eortlessly rom within as opposed to being orced through repeated resolu-tions year aer year.

Patricia Poole, CH, graduate o Marquette University, and a leadinghypnotherapist and complementary

care provider, is pleased to announce hernew CD: Journey Trough Loss, a guidedmeditation designed to help listenersrecover aer the loss o a loved one.

Te CD helps people recover romthe death o a loved one. Te meditationocuses on the love that has been shared,

and how the loved one who has passed isstill present in spirit.

Poole’s ather died when she was 13 yearsold, giving her a unique perspective ongrie, and lie aer a loved one dies. Now atthe age o 45, the age her ather was whenhe passed, she is proud to be able to shareher latest guided meditation CD dedicatedto helping people recover rom loss.

“Te loss o a loved one is a complicatedand sometimes shocking experience that

very ew people will escape during theirlietime. Recovering rom the emotions o grie, survivor’s guilt, longing, sadness andmore can cause a surviving loved one to get

‘’stuck’’ in lie. It can sometimes be dicultto recover. Journey Trough Loss guidedmeditation is the sort o tool I would haveliked to have had or mysel when I wasyounger, as well as or others I have knownwho have experienced such a loss,” Pooleexplains.

Poole attributes the seed o the idea orJourney Trough Loss to both her personalexperience with death and Chelsea Hanson,a riend and owner o With Sympathy Gis& Keepsakes. Hanson, amiliar with Poole’swork, suggested Poole create a healingguided meditation cd or bereavement.

“Be content with what you have, rejoice in the waythings are. When you realize there is nothing lacking,the whole world belongs to you.” ~Lao zu

it’s the beginning o 2012. Some claim it’s signaling the end o the world. But perhaps it’s simply the end o the world as weknow it. We have reached a tipping point, where we have to

nd a way to work together or the greater good. We can no longeraord to hold onto the “Us vs. Tem” mentality, but must embracean “Us and Tem” paradigm.

How do we go about transitioning between the two? By recog-nizing that change is inevitable. By questioning the limits o ourcurrent belie systems, realigning and walking our talk. By raising

our standards to such a level that we achieve beyond the limits o current thought. By recognizing the inherent value o each andevery thing on our planet, knowing that we are interdependentand connected to everything. By taking personal responsibility inevery choice we make, rather than waiting or the government orthe “other guy” to take action. As Gandhi said, “Be the change youwish to see in the world.”

One o the most direct ways we can make an impact on an i vidual basis is to adopt a liestyle o Voluntary Simplicity. Wthat means is that once our basic needs are met (ood, clothshelter), we stop accumulating more. Te door opens to gr

joy in our lie, as we realize that more actually means less inlong term. Te more stu we accumulate, the more we havwork long hours to support the “bigger than lie” liestyle, wtakes us away rom what we really derive pleasure rom...tim

connect with amily, riends, ourselves and our community.A lie o Voluntary Simplicity is not easy! As anything in

however, it becomes easier the more we practice. It is a liabundance in all things that cannot be counted (joy, peacmind, contentment, ree time). It gives us more time to experilie and connect with our authentic selves. It is about doing what is truly essential…no more, no less. It is about placing quabove quantity.

Lo Babata, “Th Pow o L,”c th sx Pcpl o smplPoctvty:

1. Set limitations. By setting limitations, we must choose theessential. So in everything you do, learn to set limitations

2.Choose the essential. By choosing the essential, we creategreat impact with minimal resources. Always choose theessential to maximize your time and energy.

3. Simpliy. Eliminate the non-essential, including the clutteyour environment, commitments, expenditures and anythelse that drains your time and energy or doesn’t add valueyour lie. Learn to say “yes” to the truly essential, and “nothe non-essential.

i’m hooked on sushi, but I coness it’s the meat-ree kind. So whileI was a bit nervous to try “real” sushi or this month’s restaurantspotlight, I had to give it a try. Tat’s because I visited Nakashima

o Japan, which is known, with its sister restaurant Katsu-Ya, through-out the Fox Cities and Green Bay or sushi and hibachi-style dining.

As a vegetarian my whole lie, I have learned the hard way thatmeat-ree options are usually quite limited at restaurants. However,this is certainly not the case at Nakashima. With a new menu, thereare many options or all types o appetites, including vegetarians likeme. I enjoyed my birthday evening with three wonderul people, allwith dierent tastes. Needless to say, we all le eeling very ull andmore than satised.

im Nakashima started our meal out with a couple dierentsalads. Te Daikon Salad was my personal avorite. It eatures reshspinach, Daikon radish, carrot, cucumber, cherry tomato and deli-cious house made miso dressing. We also enjoyed the Fresh Boiled

Spinach Salad topped with sweet sesame sauce that I have triedto master at home, to no avail. I am hooked on starting my mealsout with a salad at Nakashima now! im then brought out a typeo dumpling called a Gyoza. Tis is a vegetable potsticker and itwas absolutely amazing. Potstickers can be steamed or ried, andare served with the house made tangy chili vinegar sauce. Even themeat eaters at the table loved these!

We also got to try a new sashimi called Basil Hamachi. Tis wasincredible and you cannot nd it at any other restaurant! It was deli-ciously tangy made with yuzu soy, basil, togarashi peppers, seaweed,sesame seed, soy and Hamachi. Tis was the rst “raw sh” option thatI tested and I loved it! It just melts in your mouth. While I continuedto test these, the others at our table enjoyed trying the New una Bowlwith tuna, raw onion, masago, sesame seed and avocado. I must say atthis point we were starting to ll up, but were so impressed with thenew menu that we couldn’t wait to see what was brought out next. Wewere not disappointed!

im brought out some new Vegetarian Sushi Rolls, including theYama Gobo Vegetables with asparagus, cucumber, radish sprouts,yama gobo (a type o root) and avocado. One o my absolute avor-ites was the Geisha’s Kiss, which was brought out as the regular menu

version with Crunchy Yellow ail, jalapeno and mango topped with

super white tuna, wasabi, tobiko and resh strawberries and a vegian version. I must say that strawberries on sushi was new to everat our table, but is incredible!

Everyone really enjoyed the new Kokonattsu Roll, which is an roll with coconut sauce, siracha sauce with tuna and coconut akeeel sauce on top. I that wasn’t enough, they wanted to try a shrimas well and im set us up with the Godzilla Roll with shrimp jalapopper, siracha sauce topped with tuna tartar and more jalapeno

Te absolute avorite without a doubt this night was the SSpinach una, which is a kitchen specialty there. It is simply a ligseared tuna served rare with spicy boiled spinach. Tis was so that everyone was speechless!

At this point, we were absolutely stued, but still had to try theMango Ice Cream as a palate cleanser to be able to nish o oursampler that accompanied our meal. It was the perect amousweetness to end our meal. Another option is the Green ea, Va

or Orange Ice Cream.Tis was such an amazing experience in the world o sushi a

am so grateul to be able to say I really enjoy sushi. I love the menu and have never been able to experience such a variety o opor vegetarians and still be able to go eat with those who enjoy and have everyone leave so satised. Nakashima’s and Katsu-Yacertainly be where we go when we want a great, healthy satismeal! And i we don’t want sushi that night, we can always still enbowl o resh steamed edamame and an entertaining Hibachi exence. Te Salmon Hibachi and ried rice will always remain one oavorite dinners.

Tank you, Nakashima and Katsu-Ya, or your new menu awide variety o sushi options, both classic and new. It is clear youa lot o time developing the new rolls to t perect avors togethewill be back oen!

The lymphatic system is a vast rivero uid that runs through every parto our body. Its main job is to trans-

port excess uid, proteins and toxins back to our heart to be ltered and processed orelimination. Unlike the circulatory systemthat uses the heart to pump your blood,the lymphatic system works more like a

vacuum that pumps the uid by naturalbody movements such as breathing, exer-cise and even laughter. Exercise stimu-lates the skeletal muscles, which assists innatural drainage o the lymphatic system.

Te lymphatic system is part o theimmune system o the body. Stimulatingthe lymph system helps the immune system

by draining toxins, preventative action toillness and assist with chronic inamma-tion. Stimulation o the lymphatics tends todecrease the “ght or ight” response thebody has when dealing with stress, depres-sion or sleeping disorders. One o the bestways to maintain a healthy lymph system isthrough exercise like Hwa Rang Do.

Hwa Rang Do is a Korean martial artthat is not only based on sel-deense, butalso has roots as a healing art. Tis programdoes not require previous martial art expe-rience to reap its wonderul benets. One o the greatest strengths and benets o HwaRang Do is that it has extensive techniquesand training in all aspects o combat skills,as well as healing skills. Hwa Rang Douses holistic methods to maintain internalbalance with strong discipline. Troughbasic movement, striking and kicking tech-niques, sel-deense, orms, weapons andsparring, Hwa Rang Do provides the body

with harmonious natural movements thatpromote wellness o the lymphatic ow.

Unortunately, sometimes the lymphsystem can become compromised by radia-tion rom cancer treatment, node removaland unresolved swelling aer a surgery.In these circumstances the person wouldrequire the expertise o a certied lymph-edema therapist to manage the increase o uid. A qualied therapist will assist thepatient through the use o manual lymphdrainage, compression bandages and

proper exercise to increase uid upSimply put, one o the best ways to mtain a healthy lymph system is thrHwa Rang Do.

Even if you have tried other treatments and

therapies, there is a program that is proven to

be the MOST effective for people suffering from:

• Fibromyalgia • Chronic Pain

• Nausea • TMJ

• Ortho Pain • Incontinence

• Digestinal Disorders • Acid Refux

“I we all did the things we are capable o, wewould astound ourselves.” ~ Tomas Edison

i have been observing lately that there are two types o people:possibility thinkers and non-possibility thinkers. I can typi-cally tell in a matter o minutes what “camp” a person is rooted

in. Ten there are two kinds o possibility thinkers. One kind isthe one that sees possibilities and then takes action to bring thesepossibilities into reality. Te other kind just explores possibilitiesbut never takes the risks to actually pursue the possibility. Whichone do you think you are?

H a om xampl o pobltythk that i hav cot:

1. One woman, who is 62 years old, was talking to me abouttaking one o my upper level programs to help maniest her

big vision. She said, “You know, Shelley, I am going to bearound a LONG time and I will always continue to grow.”Very inspiring. She reminded me o my breathwork teacherwho in her early 60s said o the work that she was doing inthe world, “I am just getting started!”

2.Years ago a riend o mine was given a 5 percent chance tolive because she had a very advanced stage o cancer. She wasa determined possibility thinker and today, 9 years later, sheis a healthy, vibrant woman who is considered not only inremission but “cured.”

3. I was in the Phoenix airport and saw a picture o one o theoldest graduates or her undergraduate degree and she was94 years old! So anytime a client says they are too “old” to dosomething in their lie I give that as an example. Stops themin their tracks every time.

4.A riend o mine who had a baby at the age o 42 and then hersecond baby at 46 years old and is traveling around the worldwith her husband and their two children. She had cometo Green Bay or a book tour or her book and brought heryoungest child who was a ew months old at that time! Wow!By the way, she had set her intention at the start o the year towrite a book AND have a baby.

5. All o my clients who have quit their “secure” jobs and haveollowed their passions and have a blast and say, “I I would known it would be this amazing I would have done it soone

so a yo a poblty thk o ot?H a om qto to hlp yotm th:

1. When someone brings up a new idea, I like to explore howthe idea might work ____ OR when I come up with an idthink o all the ways the idea could work ____

2.When I think o things that I would like to do in my lie, Ithink o all the reasons why I can’t ____

3. I have un things planned in the uture that I am excitedabout and look orward to ____

4.Tere have been things I have been thinking o doing oryears and I have not taken action on them yet ____

5. I love growing and learning about new things ____6. I talk about how many things are going wrong in the wor

and how things are getting worse ____7. I surround mysel with other possibility thinkers and we

inspire each other ____8.My riends are just as stuck as I am and we talk about all

negative things that are going on in our lives ____

I you checked o 1, 3, 5 and 7 you are a possibility thinker. Ichecked o 2, 4, 6 or 8 then take a look at how you are unnecessholding yoursel back in your lie. Shi your thinking to Possithinking and you can change the course o your lie today.

I can’t wait to hear what new possibilities you will be stepinto.

Well, here we are at the turn o yet another new year. 2011has come and gone, leaving us wanting a resh, new start.For many o us, the turn o a new year marks a starting

point or some major lie change. Yes, the resolution is upon us.With that said, what would your best guess be or the number oneNew Year’s resolution in our country? I you thought weight loss,you are absolutely correct, so please read on. First, let’s look at a ewacts. Ten let me help you make your resolution your reality.

Did you know that more than 80 percent o all the people wholose weight regain the lost weight, and oen a bit extra?

According to research rom the National Weight ControlRegistry, the relapse rate may be as high as 95 percent. Tis tellsme that a lot o people have lost weight but very ew keep it o permanently. So we really don’t have a weight loss problem, butrather a weight relapse problem.

As we promise ourselves that this is going to be our year, we’re very ambitious. But like so many others, it’s not a well-thought-out plan.

With no real road map in place, it’s like driving across the country inthe middle o the night without headlights, expecting to reach yourdestination. Tat’s exactly why there are so many people with goodintentions, but their New Year’s resolutions soon ade rom theirthoughts aer the rst big pig out…come Super Bowl time.

With any good intention you must have a well-thought-out planon how you are going to reach your destination. Let’s lay the groundwork and make it visual. Tis will ultimately be your map to success.

Tp om Toy

You say you want a resolution…

B T Bedarwki

OCus Set your goals and put them in writing.

Tis will keep them in your mind,arming daily a clearer picture o what your intentions are. I suggestmaking a vision board, which isbasically a collage o images andwritings that are visual reminderso what you’re striving or. Visualiza-

tion techniques are very powerul. Ibelieve that i you don’t have a plotted

vision board, how can you have a vision?

PriOriTizeYou may have set goals but where arethey on your priority list? I thisis not a top priority then itwill soon all o o yourlist. Simply put, make ityour rst priority.




BALAnCeYou absolutely must nd balance.Don’t take your eating plan or yourworkouts to the extreme. Don’t livewith the all or nothing rule. Remem-ber i you want this to last then it mustbe looked at as a marathon and not asprint. Let the “I want it all” attitude goand instead shoot or slow and steady.Your patience will be well rewarded.

ACCOunTABiLiTYKeep score or your own accountability. Measurements, progresscharts, weight records and a ood and training journal are all greasel-accountability trackers. Also seek outside accountability romsomeone you trust that is in your camp. Reporting to someonewith your results will keep the account-ability actor honest.

PLAnNotice how many times I have stressed

planning and visualizing. In order to besuccessul at anything you must have a wellthought out plan. Tere is no such thing

as winging it to success. Again, get it onpaper. Write down your eating and workout

plans. Prioritize by setting up your weekly schedule. ake the time to do it or you. “Idon’t have time” or “I orgot” are excusesthat ultimately keep you rom your goal.

PATienCeTink short- and long-term realisticexpectations. Weight loss comes inunpredictable spurts. Rememberthis going in, when you set upshop, so to speak. Average healthy weight loss is about 1 to 2 poundsper week. You will have big weeks,small weeks and weeks whereseemingly nothing happens, atleast according to the scale. Sobe patient and don’t throw in the

towel at the rst sign o a plateau. Stick to your plan; you will overcome.
