I think that Josh Hillis is a genious. While I have never tried Kettlebell exercises, I think that his opinion on fitness and health are RIGHT ON. He focuses on lifting HEAVY things. Squats and lunges. Eating for life, not eating for a diet.

Does anyone else love looking at really good trash-talking about the really funny things that celebrities wear? Seriously, Rhianna wears things that look like they belong in a tool shed, or better yet a construction site- rather than things that anyone should venture into public wearing. If you are this person, you need to check out Go Fug Yourself: http://gofugyourself.celebuzz.com. It is absolutely hilarious and the writing is very witty.
So has anyone seen the new "Tough Love" on VH1? Well, I love this show. I love it because there is nothing better than having guys call a train wreck a train wreck- and then showing said train wreck a video of the guy calling her a train wreck. Nothing better. BUT- there is one particular train wreck on the show that I recognized immediately.
ROCKY.
Where have I seen her before? I know I have....
VH1.com Videos
Yes. I KNEW I RECOGNIZED HER.
Well, train-wreck was an understatement...

Jillian Michaels is my *hero*
Telling It Like It Is
Listen, getting in shape is all about setting goals. Losing weight, building muscle, and getting rid of the unhealthy eating habits take guts and perseverance. You're dealing with something big here. When you decide what you want, make it specific and concrete. For example, don't just say that you want to lose weight. Ask yourself some questions: How much weight? And is weight really the most important thing? Or is it more important that you climb your front steps with ease or lower your body-fat ratio? Think hard about what you want, and use your journal to keep track. Once you've figured out where you want to go, here's how you're going to get there:
Learn how to make decisions you can stick with. Remember, you're not just going on a diet, you're establishing a pattern of health that will enhance the quality of your life. Think big, but choose small, attainable goals — lose five pounds to start or fit into pants one size smaller — and build on those goals as you reach each one.
Allow yourself room for setbacks. One setback is only one setback — it's not the end of the world, nor is it the end of your journey toward a better you. You don't have to give up. Just get back on the bandwagon and keep going.
Walk the line between self-denial and self-indulgence. It's the middle ground between the two that will offer you the best foundation for building your new life. Maintain your discipline by allowing yourself little pleasures every now and again.
Understand that there are no mistakes. The things you used to think of as mistakes are now just learning experiences, so don't waste time beating yourself up. You'll encounter small failures — everyone does. But you'll achieve success too. Just remember, every pound you gain can be lost.
Keep in mind that faith in yourself and your work is what will keep you striving for the best. Now, get in the zone and push as hard as you can.
-Miss Michaels herself.
The problems that everyone has with weight loss is that either they don't see immediate results- so they give up- or they do it in a way to receive those immediate results-resulting in gaining it all back and more.
What I've noticed is that everything in life should be in moderation!
Americans hate the word NO!
As soon as you say NO to something, it becomes the enemy- that we all crave.
You eat too little- you can lose your health, your body can go into starvation, all these terrible things!
You eat too much- you get fat! Diabetes, heart disease, etc...
So the cure? There is no cure. There is only moderation.

I'd like to add...
A few other things that I believe are EVIL.
Besides Apple of course.
1. Idiot drivers who run into Baskin Robins and kill 4 year old boys eating ice cream. Really, who does this. And then runs. Like, yeah, run! Your going to get away! You just killed 3 innocent people! Can I say IMMIGRATION?!?!?!
2. Chocolate. Why must you hold me prisoner of your deliciousness.
3. HFCS. Meaning, HELLO FRICKEN CORN STUPIDNESS. AKA high fructose corn syrup. Why are you in my Wheat Thins? And why are you in my Fiber One Oats over Chocolate bar? And why oh why are you in my BREAD? It's almost as if food manufacturers are like, WANNA HAVE A COMPETITION TO SEE WHO CAN MODIFY NATURAL INGREDIENTS AND ADD THE MOST TO THEIR PRODUCTS?! Oooh! Oooh! Yes! Lets turn Western Civilization consumers into laboratory rats and see what Trans Fats, Hydrogenated Oils/fats, HFCS, Sucrose, Aspartame, and pretty much every other cop-out ingredient available, does to their babies babies? Beware all, the FDA is allowing our food to guarantee our children will have flippers!
4. Obama's new propaganda commercial defacing McCain with the song, "I don't know much about the economy, don't know much about ...." It gets stuck in my head IMMEDIATELY. And then the rest of the day I'm singing about my lack of knowledge of economics. Yawn, so over presidential slander.
To be continued....

Apple strikes again.
So I've already commented on the Apple conspiracy that I see developing.
They mess with peoples minds.
THEY HAVE STRUCK AGAIN.
Well my lovely Ipod (which was until recently my favorite thing ever, thank you Apple) all of a sudden decided to give a sort of "sad face" I like to call it the "sad mac" in reference to the Sex and the City episode where Carrie's (like me!) laptop just decided to PFFFFT give up life.
This sad face had me making sad fAces. So I immediately took it to the Apple store. Hoping that they would resurrect my one love. Considering I DID NOT DROP, GET WET, OR DO ANY PERSONAL DAMAGE TO THE IPOD, i figured they would just replace it! I've only had it a year!
WRONG.
It was actually 1 year, 1 month, and 3 days old. Which means that I get SQUAT diddly for my 350$ investment. Thank you Apple.
How lovely for it to committ suicide ONE MONTH after my "factory warranty" has gone up.
SO APPLE TELL ME THIS. ARE YOUR HIGHLY EXPENSIVE ELECTRONIC DEVICES ONLY SUPPOSED TO LAST ONE YEAR AND ONE MONTH? IS THIS CORRECT? THAT A PERSON WHO SPENT FULL PRICE ON A 30 GIG VIDEO IPOD CAN EXPECT NOTHING WHEN THE HARDWARE DECIDES TO UP AND CRAP OUT?!
In conclusion. Apple. Is. The. Devil.
I hate them.
I hate Apple!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
