Albuquerque named fifth fittest city in America by Men’s Fitness Magazine
Posted by: | Comments
When I moved to Albuquerque, NM I knew that it was in the Top 10 Fittest Cities in America and I’m happy to see it in the Top 5 this year. There really is no place on earth like Albuquerque. The City government really places a lot of emphasis on the ability to be active here.
Every road you travel has a “real” bike path and for the most part drivers cooperate with cyclists. There are bike routes that can take you anywhere you need to go in the city especially where I live on the Westside. It’s a twenty minute bike ride to Downtown and the scenery is awesome. Something else that I find is incredible about Albuquerque is there are 320 parks within the city limits. You don’t have to walk very far to find a place to workout outside. Bike paths connect many of the parks also, so if you are afraid of the Albuquerque drivers than it’s possible to ride safely around the city on the designated bike paths.
…and I have to tell you there is nothing better in the world than the weather for exercising outdoors. I have been able to go hiking or rock climbing just about every morning since I’ve moved here. Many of the locals don’t like me bragging about Albuerque because they say they don’t want anyone else to move here…but I can’t help it. I have said this before and I’ll keep saying it…”If ever on this planet you could call someplace “God’s Country” Albuerque, NM is the place”. I want to thank the Mayor Martin J. Chavez and the rest of the City Government…especially the Park’s Department for making and keeping Albuquerque as one of the Top Fitness Cities in America

Should fat people be measured before they get on an airplane?
Posted by: | Comments
I know this is a touchy subject. Most people think that you shouldn’t discriminate against anyone but when it comes to fat I am not one of them. Fat is not a race, “handicap”, or gender problem. It is a self-inflicted problem that you bring on yourself…and it is a selfish infiction at that. You were not born “Fat” no matter what science is trying to determine. Our bodies were ment to move and participate in physical work.
If you are not moving then you need to provide that physical exertion somewhere else. I am really getting sick of the fact that there are more and more activist websites going up in regards to fat acceptance. I’m also waiting for smokers to make a comeback and have activist groups for the acceptance of smoking, another self-inflicted health problem. If we are baning smokers from everywhere because smoking makes people feel uncomfortable especially on airplanes than why should we have to sit next to Fat People…and be made to feel uncomfortable. I used to have empathy…now I don’t. It used to be that being so fat that you fall into someone else’s seat was a rarity, now it’s become so commonplace that there is a movement for it to become acceptable. Not on my watch.
The airlines will have to address this sooner then later and I’m hoping sooner. There is no reason that I should be made uncomfortable when I have paid the same amount or usually more than someone who takes up two seats. This is NOT acceptable.
For the record…I don’t hate fat people just like I don’t hate smokers, drug addicts, or alcoholics. I just hate their behavior.
Watch my video and tell me what you think. Should fat people be measured before they get on the airplane?
Now they sell chairs for the Fattest Man in the World…or at least 1000 lb people

I know…I know… it’s hard to imagine that a company like the Casual Male Retail Group would bother to sell an office and portable chair to fit someone that weigh 1000 lbs, but they do.I love Lipozene and the bullshit it represents…

…only because I can blog about how friggin’ stupid and idiotic the commercial actually sounds.
Lipozene is supposedly this miracle cure for your fat self. As I listen and watch the commercial that comes on about 6 or 7 times an hour on every cable channel on my TV, it literally curdles my blood. I’m telling you right here, right now… that I am all for capitalism. I love it! It is what this country was founded on until the communists … um, I mean…democrats decided…well that’s a whole ‘nother conversation 
. I really can’t believe that congress actually lets TV stations off the hook for airing this erroneous shit.
The makers of Lipozene have been in so much trouble with the FTC on the two other “miracle fat loss pills” they advertised and scammed us into believing was the second coming of “fat loss” that they were ordered to pay huge fines. Check it out, if you don’t believe me: http://www.ftc.gov/opa/2005/06/fiberthin.shtm
Lipozene declares that it is “clinically proven” take 78 % pure fat off of your body. What I want to know is what is the other 22 % of the weight that Lipozene is supposed to be taking off, hmmm…muscle, horseshit…maybe your hair.
78% sounds like a lot but when you look at the bottom of the screen… in the teen, tiny…microscopic print that blinks on the screen. It actually states that the subjects in a University, double blind study lost and “average of 3.85 lbs over the 8 week study”. How the hell is this even a conclusive study?
I shouldn’t be proud of this but I know that I could easily SHIT 4 lbs in a single day! Does that mean that I should go and tell people about my new “High Fiber…Shit 4 lbs in a Day Magic friggin’ Pill”?
The answer if you weren’t paying attention is…HELL NO!
A pill that can guarantee you to lose 3.85 lbs in an 8 week period should not only be laughable but someone needs to start holding the TV Stations accountable for allowing this craziness on TV.

Lose Weight Fast using Prograde Lean
Posted by: | CommentsI usually don’t endorse other companies products. Actually I never do! In this case I made an exception because Prograde Nutrition has exceptional products. My two favorite products are Prograde Lean and EFA Icon. I also use Longevity because of the berry complex and its chock full of anti-oxidants.
Most of the time I cook or prepare my meals as you’ve seen in some of my videos (…and they’ll be more to come) but when I’m traveling (which I do a ton) or running to meetings or on god awful marathon conference calls…I love just mixing up some Chocolate Prograde Lean and it keeps me on track with my daily multiple meal plan. Prograde Lean has 270 calories which is perfect for an alternate snack to keep your metabolism revved up through out the day when you’re trying to lose weight fast. It has 35 grams of protein and 8 grams of fiber per serving at least 25 percent of all your daily vitamins and minerals.
Like I said I normally don’t endorse a product but with an outstanding meal replacement product like this I just knew I had to put my name behind it.
