Setting time aside to workout can be challenging with school, work, kids, chores etc. Also, how many different exercises do you have to do to get a full body workout and still not get the results you want?
As girls we are programmed at an early age to maintain or loose weight. Working out is hard.
So what do we start doing, dieting. Dieting becomes a common word among us. And then we pickup a phrase called crash dieting. Probably shouldn't do anything that starts with the word crash (meaning: collide violently) - right? Why would anyone voluntarily want to violently collide?
You've seen those people at the gym looking in the mirror, flexing, pumping weights... checking themselves out? Did you think - what a show off, so into
themselves, full of it....? Well I did! I judged without really knowing that there are so many benefits of looking at yourself while working out.
Some time ago a smart person corrected me when I identified America as a Democracy. He said USA is a Republic – or Democratic Republic. I did not understand the difference so looked it up and he was right. You could also call us Representative Democracy but I do not think that is true today with < 50% voter turnout...
2017 has been interesting for us Americans in many ways; especially with resurgence of the extreme far right. In most democratic countries hate speech and extreme fringe organization that promote violence are deemed unlawful. In our America, it is called freedom of speech. Whether we agree or disagree that is what it is.
There has been much reflection regarding President Obama's legacy in the final days of his presidency. While the biased media celebrates his legacy and anoints him as the progressive savior of hope and change, the reality is that Mr. Obama was at best an under-achieving president, and possibly one of the worst ever.
In about 24 hours, Donald Trump will be Barack Obama's president, and his legacy will begin to vanish before his very eyes.
Business Leaders having amnesia, feeling despair, being seduced or just plain embracing hope…?
During the 2016 election cycle no major business organization (e.g. Business round table, National Association of Manufacturers, Chamber of Commerce) supported Donald Trump. Trump economic doctrine is likely to crash and burn... then why are business leaders who disdained him because of his toxic social values now are embracing him?
Could it be that they see reality and it is so dark that they embrace HOPE?!
It is sad that mean spirited prejudices based on religion, color, education, social stature or race have not really reduced over the course of human civilization. Even in the 21st Century, in a progressive country like USA, deep rooted prejudices are still strongly embedded.
Humility for humankind in the ecosystem would be a good start but sadly I do not believe that is possible. As a species we really are the worst.
Trump is good for Putin. Really, really good! While there is not much Putin can do for Trump, there is a lot Trump can do for Putin. Most of Putin likely asks are easy gives and have no obvious near term costs or consequences for Trump. And none of them require pesky congressional approval.
It isn't The Founders' fault that Hillary's campaign failed to turn out voters in Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. Many of the people upset with the election results have been calling the electoral college outdated. Here is my defense of the process.
Hillary Clinton has been in public service (her choice) most of her professional life. Unless she viewed this year’s election for President as a gift from electorate there is still plenty to do...
While the Republican programs will create significant long term issues with the deficit, income inequality and social order, in the near term we are likely to see the continued economic success based on the Foundation that President Obama developed.
That is the ultimate irony that President-elect may succeed economically (whether foreign affairs or social issues sink him is a separate set of issues) because of what President Obama bequeathed him.
"United" States of America is what we call ourselves. A land where people come from around the world and all walks of life for better opportunities, to be treated as equals & fairly, to raise their children in a country they are proud of... Is that what we just say anymore or do we actually believe and practice what we where supposed to stand for as a Nation?
Trump and the Republican party did not win. I have said many times before “The Democrats and Hilary gave the election to Trump”. Trump tried his best to lose as he had much more to gain financially from losing than winning. Unfortunately, the Democratic Party and Hilary refused to oblige.
What’s ailing our current health care system and what can we do to improve it? I have been discussing in prior posts what’s ailing our current health care system, and why I think political solutions will only perpetuate the problems. So what are my big ideas? I don’t claim to have all the answers, and the ideas I’m about to present aren’t even original. However, I think more people need to at least hear the ideas and their underlying rationale to decide for themselves what makes sense.
It seems that the 2016 Presidential Election results have generated much happiness and excitement for some, and much anger and angst for others. I think this is a good moment to take a step back and ask ourselves why this need to be the case.
For the big picture, I think the extreme outpouring of emotion on both sides reveals the problems of centralization of power and majoritarianism. When so much power is in the hands of a central government, everything in life is up for grabs by majority vote.
Well do not worry Americans. Have faith in Trump as he alone will make everything perfect again. Is that not the perfect definition of democracy – one man controlling all and alone making things perfect?!
We decided to elect a marginally successful businessman with multiple failed companies and bankruptcies as our next President OVER an intelligent woman with lifetime public service who has made a couple (yes two only) bad judgement calls during the lifetime of service.
The loss of America as a joyful place of hope is what we mourn. It offered hope, respect and welcome to immigrants. The arc of history was bending towards justice. Women were feeling safer and making progress towards gender equality. We set the example and standard on openness As Bill Clinton once said ‘the power of our example is stronger than example of our power’.
Donald Trump ran a brilliant campaign and understood what is needed to win the Presidency. On the other hand the democrats did a bad job of bringing out their base. 50 million Americans wanted a change – essentially any change. Let us hope these 50 million Americans know something the rest of us missed...
Well I can certainly say I welcome the arrival of election day. We can now at least get a breather from the non-stop coverage and endless arguing over the personalities of the candidates. I’ve been most discouraged in this election cycle by the utter lack of deep discussion of policy, and laser like focus on email habits or video tapes of crude statements made privately more than a decade ago. Folks, this whole thing is entertainment and nothing more.
