Something brilliant !!

I got this email from a website that I subscribed few years ago..
masa tu busan2, and rajin nk cari tips in relationship ni :D

Just wanna share:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Do you consistently choose the "wrong" partners? If so, it's time to break the pattern. Life is too short to spend it waiting for an unavailable person to change.

Dear xxxx,

Last week, I got a call from a distraught woman named Michelle. Early 40's, attractive, intelligent, funny - and utterly demoralized by this guy that she'd been seeing. They had a passionate first month, and then, after one awkward conversation, he pulled away. But not fully. He would still send her regular texts saying that he missed her - although he didn't actually DO anything to make plans with her.

Having read my advice before, Michelle set up a coaching call to find out how she could get this guy back.

Since Michelle knew a lot about nutrition, I decided to communicate with her in metaphors she'd easily understand. I told her that the super-attractive guys with whom she felt the most chemistry were like fried foods - they may taste really good, but, in the long run, they're really bad for you.

Her immediate reaction was to protest, "But nice guys are so boring!"

"So are vegetables," I said. "but if you want to live a long, healthy life, you can't do better than eating healthy. If you think that you're going to be the one person who doesn't get heart disease on a steady diet of bad food, you've got another thing coming."

She laughed. "But I LIKE bad food."

"EVERYBODY likes bad food," I reminded her. "But if you want to know the main reason that you're single, it's because you keep on eating steak every night and are continually shocked that you don't lose weight. Steak is always gonna be bad for you. Hot, emotionally unavailable guys will, too."

That conversation was four days ago.

Here's what Michelle wrote to me this morning:

Hello Evan;

I cannot begin to tell you what a difference our conversation has made in my life. I am so extremely grateful to you. I walked into two of my clients houses yesterday and they said, "What's his name?" Because they said I was glowing and luminous. They've only seen me look like that before when I was infatuated with a new man. But I now feel this way because a huge weight has been lifted and I have a new path and outlook for my future. Do you have any idea how HUGE that is? I hope I just gave you the compliment of the year because that is BIG stuff; to make that kind of a difference with one phone conversation. And I'm a tough sell... so take the compliment :)

I've already made changes and "cleaned house". There's a couple guys that still text me that before talking to you, I would occasionally go out with, simply because they're hot and funny, but they have big problems I overlooked before. I'm no longer going to date them.

I have several men that I didn't give a chance to, simply because I didn't think they were sexy enough. I'm reconnecting with them. Last night I started talking to a guy who seems GREAT and is handsome, funny and seems really sincere. Prior to talking to you, I wouldn't have gone out with him simply because he is 5′ 8″. I now think that's silly and I'm definitely going to go on a date with him.

I just can't even tell you. I'm a new person. You got through like know one else has ever been able to. I'm sure I'll need another session soon, just to make sure I get on the right track with the next guy I date... but you showed me that my only problem has been chasing "lust", not life partners.

xoxo

Michelle

This email literally brought tears to my eyes. Such a radical change - in just one phone call!

I feel very fortunate to have the opportunity to produce breakthrough results for special women and men who want more power and control over their love lives.

So if you're confused about the current state of your relationship... if you wonder whether you're investing time in the right partner or wasting time with the wrong one...if you are concerned that time is passing and you're no closer to happiness than you were a year ago, don't hesitate.

Yup, love/relationship pun ada coach nya :D hehe

Sometimes site ni mmg bagi tips2 yg menarik, especially on tips how to find your true love, what to do when you want to get the man's attention, what to do when you are on a date etc
Yg sesuai, boleh la follow. Yg over2 tu, sila simpan sendiri ok :p

Komen:

1) super-attractive guys with whom she felt the most chemistry were like fried foods - they may taste really good, but, in the long run, they're really bad for you.

Komen : Hehe most of the times, this is sooo true. Attractive guys selalunya tahu yg dia adalah hensem/ramai peminat/menjadi perhatian di mana2, maka mereka selalunya tidak begitu menghargai
perempuan2 di sisi. Slalunya, perempuan yg tergila2/buat mcm2 utk lelaki type2 cmni. Lelaki cmni xyah banyak usaha sgt, perempuan mmg dtg sendiri. Tp part yg susah, bile dh ade serious relationship. Kalo la perempuan tu xbape lawa sgt, mmg tahap kejelesan xdpt dikawal la. Akan selalu rase insecure. Walaupun cmtu, xsemua laki ensem cmni. Ada yg bertuah, dpt la laki ensem yg baik. Bertuah la kamu ye.

2) if you want to live a long, healthy life, you can't do better than eating healthy. If you think that you're going to be the one person who doesn't get heart disease on a steady diet of bad food, you've got another thing coming

Komen: Ada betulnya juga :p . Yup, nice guys memang boring. Sbb baik sgt, terlalu ikut kata, buat semuanya utk kita happy. Tp kalau la kita selalu sgt amik fast food (metaphor dlm email ni), eventually it will hurt us, in the long run.

3) "EVERYBODY likes bad food," "But if you want to know the main reason that you're single, it's because you keep on eating steak every night and are continually shocked that you don't lose weight. Steak is always gonna be bad for you. Hot, emotionally unavailable guys will, too."

Komen: Yes, so true. Girls are easily attracted to bad boys. Bad boys ni selalunya macho2, ada style yg menyebabkan perempuan suka :p. Naughty, berani. Flirty. Sapa yg tak tertarik kan. Tp, kalau kita tertarik pada org yg salah, mmg memakan diri. Asik kita yg terkejar2..ape ke halnye kan?

Aku suka tindakan yg Michelle buat. Memberi peluang pada lelaki2 yg berminat. Ambil masa kenali mereka, sbb selalunya, pandangan pertama ni xleh pakai sgt. Mmg luaran nampak laki tu xensem, unattractive, tp bila dh kenal, dia ni kelakar, caring etc. So better bg peluang dulu, keluar makan2, borak2..mana tau lama2 sangkut kan :p

Aku bisa membuatmu jatuh cinta kepadaku
Meski kau tak cinta... kepadaku
Beri sedikit waktu...
Biar cinta datang karena telah terbiasa

Beauty is Pain

The pain passes, but the beauty remains
~Pierre-Auguste Renoir

Last Saturday, I finally admit that beauty is pain.. haha
Berjalan2 di Mid Valley, dan terasa mau bergaya cantik, maka aku pun memakai kasut tumit setinggi 4 inci..dan hasilnya..

xsampai 2 jam..kaki aku dh sakit.
Tahniah kepada kaki dan kasut baru aku tu.
Nampaknya kasut tu cuma akan aku pakai sekali sekala sajalah.
Kasihan kamu kasut. Tapi aku kasihan lagi pada kaki aku :p

Walaupun pabila memakai kasut setinggi itu, membuatkan aku nampak tinggi, kaki panjang ala2 model, tp akibatnya (selepas pakai selama 4 jam) ..

- tapak kaki sgt sakit
- bila bangun pagi.. sakit pinggang plak

tahniah..tahniah sekali lagi kepada aku yg mahu kelihatan cantik :p

Tp bila aku pk2 balik..banyak lg mende2 lain yg org buat, utk cantik.
Nak tau?

Contohnya:
1) wax
xkira la.bikini wax ke, brazilian wax ke, tp ttp sakit.
Model2 msti dh lali sume mende ni. nak kulit badan selicin mungkin..maka perlu la bertahan dgn kesakitan yg dialami ye? :)

2) facial treatment
bg perempuan yg sgt menjaga kecantikan muka, mestilah dorang ada mencuba/register pakej2 utk wat facial. Sekali sebulan contohnya.
Igt wat facial xsakit ke? Aku siap mengalir2 air mata tau masa org tu wat extraction!
Pas abis facial, muka bengkak skit, merah2..haha
What to do, nak muka cantik, tahan jela ye? :p

3) pakaian pembentukan badan
Ini pun satu lagi kegemaran perempuan :p
Kalo nak pakai kebaya, kalo pakai girdle, bengkung..mmg mantap ah badan. haha inilah rahsia wanita. Disebabkan baju2 sebegini ada pelbagai jenis, sila pilih yang ada infra red ok. Premium Beautiful contohnya, walaupun mahal, tp berkesan.Cuma kena rajin la. kalo pakai seminggu sekali, xde kesan la beb. Sendiri mau pk ok

4) Pembedahan kosmetik
E.g:Liposuction
Aku xtau la ni sakit ke x..tp aku mengandaikan ia adalah sakit.
Tgk Nip/Tuck, siap ada org mati lg. Sungguh mengerikan
Pembedahan kosmetik yg lain, for sure sakit. Bayangkan breast kene bedah. Azab yg amat.
Aku dulu kene bedah sbb nk buang lump di breast pun, dh terseksa (scar smpai skang xbley ilang..huhu). Sila la jgn buat ni semua ok.
Ambil cth 'The Biggest Loser' .. 327 pounds pun bole turun 129 pounds, maka jadikanlah itu sebagai pembakar semangat ok. Bersukurlah dgn apa yg ada.. xya besarkan, kecilkan, mancungkan, tegangkan. Terimalah seadanya. Maintainlah ia dgn cara yg betul (exercise, healthy diet, detox)

5) Diet
Mmg la kan, bile berat dah naik, kita ni pun risau, mula la diet berbagai cara.
Xmakan nasi la, amik buah n sayuran.
Aku penah try ni sume, tp ended up aku jadi emosi (sbb lapa kot)
Beauty is pain. Sampai sanggup xmakan. Sunggguh menakutkan.
Berpada2 la ok kawan2. Exercise is still the better way to lose weight + control diet :)

Wat masa ni..tu jela yg aku dpt fikirkan. Beauty is pain, I know.
Selagi masih muda ni, marilah kita menjaga kecantikan kita dgn cara yg betul

good skincare+exercise regularly+detox+eat healthily

Daa

Yang benar,
Aku yg masih mencuba menjaga kecantikan dgn cara yg betul :)

Bukan kesempatan yang terlewat

Aku ni sepatutnya menjadi seorang yang casual romantic (menurut facebook la)
patutnya xlayan sgt romantik2 ni,
patutnya kadar sensitiviti adalah rendah

tapi..
tapi..

aku sgt tersentuh, mmg mudah tersentuh..
bila aku lihat cerita/video klip seperti ini






bukan kesempatan yang terlewat..

aku suka tgk movie pasal hal2 mcm ni,
contohnya the lake house, with love (japan), dan ade la beberapa movie korea yang aku minat

tentang kebetulan dan juga kesempatan

tentang takdir yang menemukan dua insan, dalam situasi yg sangat tak logik,
tp itulah takdir mereka sebenarnya

aku sebenarnya dlm diam, sgt percaya, yang cinta tu, akan dtg sendiri.
it has it's own way, to reach to you

mmg ramai yang kata,
"ko xboleh diam je, ko kene usaha"
mmg, xde mende yang senang dlm dunia ni
sumer mende kene usaha,
tp, being "casual romantic" la kunun,
kan bagus kalau sumer tu terjadi dgn sendirinya,
dlm keadaan yang aku pun xsangka ia patut terjadi

dan kesempatan selalunya tak dtg dua kali,
ni mmg betul
bukan hanya utk cinta, tp utk semua aspek kehidupan

Kalau saja aku masih punya kesempatan yang sama

Atau semua yang pernah terjadi bisa terulang lagi

Tapi ternyata kesempatan yang ada hanya sekali

Sampai kini masih kutunggu datangnya keajaiban

Yang mungkin saja bisa memberiku waktu satu kali lagi

Seandainya masih bisa kudapatkan sekali lagi, satu kali lagi

Masih tertunda dan belum semua kukatakan

Biar kutunggu sampai kau kembali lagi disini

Harus kau dengar, semuanya harus kau dengarkan

Isi hatiku, tentang hatiku yang perlu kusampaikan

Ternyata tak semudah itu keinginan bisa terjadi

Tapi ku berharap semoga masih ada kesempatan

Sekali lagi… [Sekali Lagi by Ipang]

Indah kan..

harap keindahan ni akan berlaku pada aku :)

Aminn

7 Simple Stress Busters

An article that I think can benefits all of us :)


Stress happens. No matter how organized you are, how good your systems are, or how friendly your work and living environments are, stress can find a way to poke its ugly head in from time to time. What can you do? Turn to a convenient Stress Buster – a small, simple activity that clears your head and calms you down. When you feel a stress attack coming on, it’s the perfect time to turn to one of these busters and kick that stress out the door.

Here are 7 of our favorite Stress Busters, but feel free to develop your own:

1. Take a walk
Want a break from the office? Does your house feel like an insane asylum? Slip out the door and let your feet take you somewhere. Not only will walking give you the opportunity to clear your head and take a break from that hectic situation, but it’s great aerobic exercise, too.

2. Call a friend
We all have someone whose voice alone perks us up. Give them a buzz, even for a few minutes. Whether with a joke or a funny story, or just by listening, they will likely put a smile on your face and calm you down. Besides, what are friends for?

3. Write in a journal
Expressing our feelings could be the best way to deal with stress. Keeping a journal is a way to capture those feelings at any moment. You don’t have to worry about what others think or say, just let your pen do the work. By the time you’re done, those feelings will be on their way out of your system.

4. Play a board game
Remember these? Maybe there are a dozen stashed in your closet, waiting to be dusted off. Monopoly probably should be saved until you have a few hours to spare, but quick kids’ games like Candy Land, Chutes & Ladders, Connect Four, or even Twister are always good for a smile.

5. Work up a sweat
Have some pent up frustrations? There’s no better way to get rid of them than by exercising. Pop in a workout tape, hop on your bike or grab your jump rope. You’ll be too busy working up a sweat to worry about what’s stressing you out. Picture the stress leaving your body through your pores.

6. Plan something fun
Is there a trip you want to take but never had time to get it together? Or a dinner you’ve always wanted to make? Now’s the time. Not only will you take your mind off things, but you’ll be spending time eagerly anticipating a great getaway or meal later. It’s a win-win situation.

7. Take a hot bath
A hot bath will initially give your body a kick, which in turn will give your mind a kick too – and then it’ll slow both down. Add bubbles and a few candles and you have the ultimate soothing atmosphere. A rubber ducky is optional.

Kisah Kad Kredit, Duit dan Excel Sheet

Semenjak aku tahu bagaimana untuk menggunakan kad kredit, aku akui, aku mmg tak dapat control spending. Grr sgt frustrating bila setiap bulan, duit habis macam tu je :(

I know I am not a very well organized person especially with money, but every month, I'm trying very hard. VERRY HARD.

Ada satu kisah sedih, yang melibatkan wang gaji aku..

Tadi aku wat bajet utk bulan ni (7hb baru nk wat bajet bulanan?? for sure la duit gaji tu dh kena spend skit kan. *bengong*). Dan kebetulan pulak bulan ni kami pekerja2 dpt bonus. Just a few hundred ringgit (kita patut bersyukur ada gak bonus biarpun sedikit). Bagi kawan2 ofis aku, semua dh pk macam2, ape nk beli ngan duit bonus tu (aku pun xterkecuali la, sbb ada gak items dlm wishlist aku yg aku wish nk beli).

Nak dijadikan cerita, last Friday, masa makan tengahari d sebuah cafe di Cyberjaya, kitorang pun berbual pasal hal2 bajet bulanan. Ade kakak ni, ade excell sheet utk kira bajet (which I dont have, sbb aku kira bajet dlm buku nota je..sungguh ketinggalan). Dan aku pun gatal mulut, minta akak tu forwardkan pada aku.

Hari Sabtu, baru la aku dpt mood nak wat kira2 bajet ni. Kira punya kira..

guess what??

Bajet aku jadi -ve. Negative. NEGATIVE..
waaaaaaaaaaa

sume nye sbb aku overspent credit card bulan lepas.

Aku selalu anggap yang aku mampu untuk membeli sesuatu (yg mahal la) as a gift atas penat lelah usaha aku bekerja bulan tu. Tapi sebenarnya, aku xmampu (xmampu dari segi kurang pandai organize duit sendiri). Jadi, selalunya, aku overspend. Grr sgt sakit hati

Walaupun baru 7hb, dan masih ada banyak hari lagi dlm bulan Mac ni utk aku hadapi, dan kemungkinan gaji lambat masuk lagi hujung bulan ni, aku terpaksa la berjimat cermat.
Maybe cut back on food and not necessary things yang selalu aku terbeli mase berhibur di hujung minggu.

Maybe hujung minggu juga xperlu keluar/or sekali sekala je ? Arghhh

Sebenarnya aku xlarat nk menghadapi sindrom hujung bulan. Tiap2 bulan tunggu bila nk dpt gaji, dan bulan seterusnya, aku tunggu lagi, utk gaji seterusnya.

Dan tanpa sedar, masa terus berjalan. Dan aku masih begini..huwaaa

I'm praying hard, agar aku overspend lagi next month. You can do it anne, you can do it (repeat 10x)

This is one of my fav video clip :)

16 random things

Tiada sapa yg meng'tag' aku, tp xkisahlah..nak buat jugak :p

16 random things

1) sangat suka membaca buku, skang ni more into buku2 motivation, self improvement. Juga chick lits yang sentiasa membuatkan aku berangan dan merasa masih ada lagi cinta yang indah dalam dunia :p

2) hobi sejak kecil, sangat sayang utk buang barang2. Selalu fikir yg baang2 tu maybe ada guna di masa depan. Dan sejak kecil juga, sgt dikenali d kalangan keluarga sebagai orang yg sgt pandai menjaga barang :p. I dunno, that's just me. Dan itu juga telah menyebabkan, bilik syaa sgt penuh dgn barang2..aduii..seksa nak mengemas

3) sangat menyukai pink, purple dan warna2 yg berada dlm kumpulan itu. Tahun lepas, merah pula mendapat tempat. Tahun ni xtau lg. Tapi sering berangan kalau kawin nnt, nak pelamin n baju pengantin kaler purple. Saje nk lawan ngan Along :p

4) Meminati channel Hallmark (one of my fav channel la). Kebanyakan ceritanya tentang keluarga, cita2. Sgt inspiring

5) Juga meminati Oprah, especially kalau time ada Dr.Oz. Sgt teruja

6) Lately ni, suka pada rancangan Friends. Mereka ttp mendapat perhatian!

7) Juga sgt suka menambah pengetahuan tentang health & fitness. Selalu berazam pada diri sendiri, utk exercise at leas 3 kali seminggu. Kdg2 tercapai, selalunya tidak.Sgt sukar. Bila bekerja, pukul 6 belum tentu kerja dh siap.. Huwaaaa

8) Disebabkan azam yg membara utk exercise, selalu menjadikan Taman Tasik Cyberjaya sebagai tpt jogging yg ideal (paling dkt ngan office). Dan setiap pagi memasang angan2 utk
bangun awal agar dpt ke office di awal pagi, serta mempunyai masa yg cukup utk jogging di petang hari. Selalunya tidak tercapai. Tapi aku xputus harapan. Masih terus berazam. I'm no quitter. Positif2

9) Memberikan reaksi yg berbeza pada org yg berbeza. Ade certain org tu, borak kejap je dh leh masuk. Ade jugak yg cover2 sopan santun. Ada j uga yg menjadikan diri aku super pendiam (kalau org tu sgt kecoh, maka aku pun selalunya diam la, depends). Ada juga yg mengenali aku sebagai kecoh. Ni hanya berlaku di kelompok kawan2 rapat saja :p bebas menjadi diri sendiri

10) Mata aku sgt sensitif. Senang je air mata keluar, walaupun utk berita gembira. Apakah...?

11) Sejak bekerja ni, aku sangat suka beli brg2 Body Shop. I dunno, sampai kawan2 panggil aku 'Duta Body Shop' kerana suka beli and promote :p. Skang ni, dh xtau ape nk beli dh kat sana. Mcm2 suda ada. Tapi masih belum mampu memiliki mana2 produk dr L'occitane dan sewaktu dgnnya

12) Meminati seni. Bukan terlalu fanatik, tapi sgt suka menonton tarian, teater. Bercita2 mahu menonton orkestra di Dewan Philharmonic dlm masa terdekat ni. Teater terakhir yg aku tonton adalah P.Ramlee the musical. Sgt menyentuh hati. Seminggu jugak aku sentiasa teringat teater tu. Mengenangkan susah payah P.Ramlee dlm industri ini. Paling terkesan bila saat dia bersama Saloma. Dan juga pabila dia parah bila ditinggalkan isteri2nya..sehinggalah dia bertemu Saloma

13) Tiba2 obses dgn kecantikan. Tiba2 register pakej utk facial. 1st trial, sgt sakit. Nampak sgt muka ni dh lama xwat facial :p malu i. Tapi layanan tiptop. Terpaksa relakan jela :p

14) kasut2 yg dibeli sumanya hampir sama je pattern. I mean, sandals. Entah, selesa mungkin

15) Teringin nak cuba main squash. Jom!!

16) Sukar buat pilihan. Kdg2 terfikir, nape la susah sgt nak wat pilihan, and kenapalah keputusan yg dibuat tu, memberi impak yg besar. Dan disebabkan itu, selalu buat keputusan yg silap. Arghhh!! Tensi

Tu jela. Random things yg mampu aku pk di malam hari yang hening tp panas ni :p

Whats life all about...

something I found while bloghopping


Life isn't about keeping score...
It's not about how many friends you have.
Or how many people call you, or how accepted or unaccepted you are.
Not about if you have plans this weekend, or if you're alone.
It isn't about who you're dating, or who you used to date,
how many people you've dated, or if you haven't been with anyone at all.
It isn't about who your family is, or how much money they have.
Or what kind of car they drive.....

It's not about how beautiful or ugly you are.
Not about what clothes you wear, what shoes you have on,
or the kind of music you listen to....
It's not about if your hair is blonde, red, black, brown, or green.
Or if your skin is too light or too dark.

Its not about how good you are at "your" sport.
Not about what grades you get,
how smart you are, or how smart everyone else thinks you are.
Not the least about how smart “standardized tests” say you are.
It's not about representing your whole being on a piece of paper,
and seeing who will accept the “written you".

Life just ain’t about any of these.....

But life is about who you love and who you hurt.
It's about who you make happy or unhappy purposefully.
It's about keeping or betraying trust.
It's about friendship, used as sanctity, or as a weapon.
It's about what you say and mean, maybe hurtful, maybe heartening.
It's about what judgments you pass and why.
And who your judgments are spread to.

It's about who you've ignored with full control and intention.
It's about jealousy, fear, pain, ignorance, and revenge.
It's about carrying inner hate and love,
letting it grow and spreading it.

But most of all,
it's about using your life to touch or poison other people's hearts
in such a way that could never have occurred alone....
Only you choose the way these hearts are affected,
and those choices are what life is all about....

The Best Fat-Burning Advice

Get the Facts to Burn the Fat
-- By Dean Anderson, Fitness & Behavior Expert


Wouldn’t it be great if all the fat-burning secrets you see in magazine ads and TV infomercials actually worked? If sauna suits, cellulite-shrinking creams, herbal wraps, and pills designed to “boost metabolism and melt fat away” did what they claim to, obesity would be a thing of the past.

But they don’t work. And neither do any of those exercise gadgets that promise to reduce the fat in your fill-in-the-blank problem area (i.e. belly, hips or thighs). That’s just not how your body operates. You probably know by now that the only healthy way to lose fat (and keep it from finding you again) is to spend more energy on physical activity than you take in from food. That takes a combination of moderate calorie restriction and increased physical activity–a healthy lifestyle, not a crash weight loss program or other magic gimmick.

But what about some of the less outrageous claims and advice about fat burning that are floating around? Can you burn more fat by exercising early in the morning, or on an empty stomach? Does building up a lot of muscle really make you burn a lot more calories even when you’re sitting still, making strength training more important than cardio? Will you lose more fat if you exercise at a lower intensity for a longer time?

We’ll take a look at each of these claims, and see how they stack up against the evidence that is currently available. Then we’ll put all this information together into an effective fat-burning strategy that will really work for you.

Exercising Early in the Morning
Fat-burning claim: Exercising first thing in the morning will force your body to use fat as fuel. Proponents of this claim say that while you’re sleeping overnight, your body is in a state of fasting that uses up most of the carbohydrates (stored as glycogen) that you ate during the day. Therefore, working out in the morning burns fat because fat is the only fuel available.

Fat-burning fact: Not true! Your body stores glycogen in two places: in your liver and muscle cells. When you sleep, your body turns to glycogen in the liver to keep your brain, nervous system, and other essential operations going while you’re not eating. Therefore, the stored carbohydrates in your liver will become depleted overnight. But remember how your muscles also store carbohydrates in the form of glycogen? This muscle glycogen can only be used by those muscle cells. So, unless you run a 10K race in your sleep, your overnight "fast" will not noticeably affect on your muscle glycogen. This is a good thing, because you’d never make it through the first few minutes of your morning exercise routine if you didn't have any muscle glycogen.

Fat-burning tip: Exercise will burn fat stores at any time of day or night. There are several good reasons to exercise early in the morning, if you can manage it. You’ll get it done before other things have a chance to get in the way of your workout. And for many people, an a.m. fitness routine offers a psychological boost that can make the rest of the day much easier.

Exercising on an Empty Stomach
Fat-burning claim: Exercising on an empty stomach will burn fat as fuel. Perpetrators of this theory refer to the body's insulin response, which goes like this:

• When you eat a meal or snack, your body releases insulin into your blood stream.
• Insulin's role is to help carbohydrates (glucose) move from your blood stream into your cells, where it is used to make energy.
• In the process, insulin partially inhibits the release of fat from fat cells, so that it can carry more glucose to your cells.

According to this theory, when you exercise before eating, the insulin response won’t happen; then the body's ability to burn fat as fuel won’t be inhibited; and you’ll end up burning more fat during your exercise.

Fat-burning fact: It's true that insulin inhibits release of fat from fat cells, but not true that exercising on an empty stomach makes you burn more fat overall. Anytime you are burning more fat during a workout, you are almost always burning fewer total calories, which basically defeats the purpose if your goals are weight loss and improved fitness. What really determines whether your body will turn to stored fat or carbohydrates (glucose) for fuel? The intensity and duration of your exercise. In a nutshell, you’ll burn more fat and more total calories when you exercise at high intensity levels. When you exercise at 70% to 90% of your max heart rate, your body can’t turn stored fat into fuel fast enough to meet the demands of your active muscles. But the more intense your exercise, the more total calories you'll burn during your workout and during the recovery phase afterward. When it comes to weight loss, total calorie expenditure is more important than where the calories are coming from (glucose or stored fat).

Fat-burning tip: Real fat-burning takes place during low-intensity, daily activities—not during exercise itself. The more calories (glycogen) you burn during exercise and recovery, the more your body will rely on fat stores to fuel the rest of your day. So instead of trying to figure out whether (or what) to eat before you exercise, choose whatever will help you put the most effort and time into your workout session. Everyone is different. Don't eat if it upsets your stomach to exercise soon afterward, but if you feel lightheaded or fatigued when exercising on an empty stomach, then you should eat a pre-workout snack or meal.

Exercising at Lower Intensity Levels for Longer Durations
Fat-burning claim: Exercising at lower intensity levels and for a longer duration burns more fat than moderate- to high-intensity exercise. People who subscribe to this theory use some of the same facts above regarding the source of fuel for various levels of exercise intensity. Further adding "credibility" to these claims, many cardio machines have "fat burning" workouts or programs, which have you exercising at lower heart rates.

Fat-burning fact: While it is a fact that low-intensity activities use more fat as fuel, this theory doesn’t hold up unless you can devote several hours every day to exercise. It’s important not to confuse percentage of fat burned with total amount of fat burned. Let's look at three examples of fuel usage, at three different intensity levels, and see which actually burns the most fat:

• High-intensity exercise (about 70% max heart rate): 33% of the energy you use comes from fat and 66% comes from glucose. You're burning about 600 calories per hour (200 calories from fat).
• Low-intensity exercise (about 50-60% max heart rate): Your ratio of fat to glucose usage is about 50-50. You're burning about 350 calories per hour (175 calories from fat).
• Sitting still (resting heart rate): 66% of the energy you use comes from fat and 33% comes from glucose. You're burning about 90 calories per hour (60 calories from fat).

Fat-burning tip: Most of us can only manage about one hour of high-intensity exercise, but could handle several hours of low-intensity exercise like walking. Exercising at lower intensity levels for longer durations only burns more fat IF you have at least two hours to spend on that activity. However, low-intensity exercise also offers fewer general health benefits and won't help you improve your cardiovascular fitness level. If you’ve got two hours to spend on cardio your best bet is to get the best of both worlds by doing an hour each of higher and lower intensity exercise.

Making Strength Training More Important than Cardio
Fat-burning claim: You’ve heard it a million times—muscle burns more calories than fat, even while you’re sitting still. So when it comes to losing weight, strength training is more important than cardio.

Fat-burning fact: Part of this is true. A pound of muscle, at rest, burns about three times as many calories as a pound of fat, which by nature is pretty much always “at rest.” But whether or not strength training should be the only (or main) focus of your fitness program depends on what the numbers really say.

At rest, one pound of fat burns about two calories per day, while one pound of muscle burns about six calories. Simply having more muscle is not going to make that much of a difference all by itself. Building five pounds of extra muscle is only going to add about 30 calories per day to your resting metabolic rate, but while you are cutting calories to lose weight, it's very difficult (if not impossible) to add five pounds of muscle to your body.

Muscle does burn more calories at rest and at work. But losing weight always involves losing some muscle along the way. If you don't strength train, as much as 30% of the weight you lose could be muscle weight, which works out to about 15 pounds of muscle loss for your 50-pound weight loss. Losing 15 pounds muscle could cost an active person several hundred calories per day in lost calorie burning capacity since active muscles (as opposed to resting) burn 30 times more calories than fat. This is one of the big reasons why people who lose weight rapidly on crash diets (without exercise) almost always put that weight back on later. However, an effective strength training program can reduce that 30% muscle loss figure to 3-5%. That's much better for your fat burning goals and your metabolism.

Fat-burning tip: Even if you're short on time, you shouldn't give up the cardio and concentrate on strength training if you want to burn fat. You'll burn more fat by doing 30 minutes of cardio than you will in a whole day sitting around with five extra pounds of muscle. But don’t make the opposite mistake of thinking you don’t need strength training, either. Both are very important for fat burning and overall health.

Putting It All Together
When you put all this information together, the picture you see is very familiar. There aren’t any gimmicks or shortcuts. To burn fat, the variables are simple. You need to:

• Be as active as possible
• Exercise at a moderate (60% MHR) to high (>70% MHR) intensity level when doing cardio
• Include strength training two to three times per week
• Keep your total calorie intake below your total energy expenditure (without exceeding a 1,000 calorie deficit per day)
• Provide your body with plenty of quality fuel from healthy foods

When planning and timing your meals along with your fitness program, find what works best for you in terms of providing the right fuel at the right times, using your Nutrition Tracker and Meal Plans as a guide. Your energy and performance levels will tell you whether you need to eat before exercise, whether you need more or fewer calories, and what ratio of fat, carbs, and protein is best for the demands of your lifestyle. Now that you have the facts, don't let another fat-burning theorist steer you wrong ever again!

A Dozen Ways to Get to Know Your Real Partner

The Signs Are All Around You

I found this article in Yahoo.com - link
Useful i think for us to know our partners better.

Here are the dozen indicators:

1. Protocol: First or Second? Whether it's walking through a door, ordering dinner, or taking a bite out of the freshly baked cookies you have made together, if your partner always have to go first this could indicate self- centeredness. Are you willing to always be the giver?

2. Politics: Liberal or Conservative? How your partner views what is right or wrong in a political sense tells you a lot about his deep inner beliefs about society, and ultimately, the way he will approach your relationship issues. Will his views cause a rift in your relationship?

3. Television: Sitcoms or News? If his tendency is to watch "escape" TV programs versus "newsy/event" oriented ones, you can learn a lot about one's intellect. Do you want a mate who can keep up with your every day interest in what is going on in the world or a person you can run away with to avoid the world we live in?

4. Money: Flash or Stash? If your partner throws money around while dating, he might well be reckless with your joint finances when you move in together. Do you want to hook up with a tightwad or splurger?

5. Stress: Freak or Peak? Under Pressure, does he go to pieces or rise to the top of his game? If the answer is the former, every minor incident in your relationship might become a crisis. Do you like a lot of drama?

6. Conversation: About You or Him? As you first get to know each other does he always talk about himself first or you? If he is usually the topic priority do not expect that to change. Can you subordinate yourself to the world revolving around him?

7. Pets: Warm or Aloof? Believe it or not, the way in which he treats animals will not be dissimilar to how he treats your children. How do you want him to treat your loved ones?

8. Communication: Listens or Ignores? If you have something you want to talk about and he tunes you out as a general rule, can you cope?

9. Strangers: Kind or Rude? How he treats those they do not know (waiters, grocery clerks) often reflects on how he will treat people in general, including you, shortly after the glow wears off.

10. Priorities: Family or Work? You can tell almost immediately where a person's preferences lie in terms of what comes first (a family member's illness or a business trip) by the choices he makes when faced with an "either/or" situation. Do you care if he leaves on the next plane to present the such-and-such report if you or the kids have pneumonia?

11. Appearance: Fat or Fit? How he regards his appearance screams loudly about his sense of self-esteem. Those who eat sensibly, workout reasonably, and who take pride in their appearance are the ones who have a great sense of self. Does he really have self-confidence or might it be a front?

12. Faith: Strong or Weak? If you want a peak at his soul, learn more about his spirituality, or lack of it. What a person believes deep down is often what shapes the way in which they conduct their day-to-day affairs. What is your mate's "words to live by?"
