Holidays are approaching fast...

Hello bloggers,

This season, the holidays are upon us. Are you ready for what's to come? Apple pies, turkey and stuffing...stuffing is so good, yet you could eat all of your calories in the stuffing. This weekend, on the 21st I will be holding a free work out/eat right seminar, where I will be handing out some information on work out routines and a meal plan.

I hope that you can make it! There will be lots of good information to be given, no secrets held back. I also wanted to announce that I will be beginning the "BIG 20 Project" this week. Excitedly enough, I am running a program similar to the "Biggest Loser" show on TV. People will receive an opportunity to win free personal training packages.

I'm so excited about all the new things going on. The studio is going great, it's a beautiful and comfortable place for people to come and work out, and for the most affordable prices on the south shore. If you would like more information regarding the promotional rates we are running, please contact us via email at stcbyso@gmail.com.

Stay away from those pies, or at least tag some exercise to everything you eat this holiday. For example, if you chose to eat more than 3,000 calories on Thanksgiving day, do 4 sets of 25 push ups beforehand, you will feel better about having worked for everything you eat. Good luck, and stay well...heard that the swine flu is swiping through our neighborhoods.

New Website...

Sorry Bloggers,

I've been up to hard work. I have redesigned my website again and my friend has helped me turn it to html, and this time it's perfect!!! It's exactly how I wanted it to look all along, sometimes it takes a while to figure out what fits and what doesn't.

I'm so glad and grateful that it's finally finished. So back to business. Word has it that the "swine flu" is going around. I would like to add a few things about killing the virus. There are certain foods that you can eat, such as mangos, cranberries and garlic. The whole cranberries are pretty bitter, but high in vitamin C and not so bad with a mango to chase it with.

The next thing you need to do, take a warm tub with baking soda and Epsom salts. Not only is it soothing and comforting, but a virus can't survive in a hot body, which is why your temperature will spike to 102 degrees or even higher.

Drink plenty of fluids. Was it really necessary to share this one? We should all be drinking 64 ounces or more water a day, so just get it done. You also should plan on sleeping a lot, rest is vital to recovery. When the temperature is high, you are likely to have a headache and are better off sleeping anyway.

I hope none of you out there have to experience the swine flu, be cautious, as it migrates to the lungs as a respiratory infection. Be safe, keep your hands clean, and it wouldn't hurt to eat those "anti-viral" foods today. Take the necessary precautions, so you can lead a safe and healthy winter. I will be saying a prayer for all swine flu victims tonight.
