?Making Time? for Your Health and Fitness Goals

by Soleivi Hernandez

I have a sales career in the medical field that is very demanding and sometimes my job requires I work long hours. Therefore, every morning I leave my house with several bags to make it through my day without having to go home and risk the idea of getting comfortable by sitting on my couch and watching TV after a long day at work. The bags I take are as follows:

1. My gym bag (with all my workout gear)
2. My cooler with my 5-7 meals (to be able to eat every 3 hours)
3. 1-2 galloons of water
4. My briefcase
5. My Purse

My family and close friends call me the ?bag lady?! LOL
And my response to them is ?well?..my bags are all daily necessities, they are what help me be successful in both of my careers, my sales career and my fitness career.? These bags are a MUST!

I work out of my car. Basically my car is my office and I go from account to account visiting my physicians and patients. I love my job and still get excited about helping amputee patients get to as normal of a life as they can by setting them up with a prosthesis (if they are a good candidate for one of course). My days start from 8:30am and sometimes don?t end until 8:30pm, depending on how many patients and doctors I have on my list for that day. Basically, what I am saying is that I too have a busy schedule and demanding job and yet I still make the time to go to the gym daily. And when I?m training for a competition, I make it to the gym twice a day. Planning your day in advance and leaving your house with the necessary things to make you get to your fitness goals quicker is a definite must not a maybe. This type of planning allows me to stay in line with my required diet. Training and eating healthy are a lifestyle for me and will continue to be a part of my daily routine for years to come, GOD willing. Therefore, I sacrifice a lot of things and people sometimes. For example, I miss happy hours with family and co workers because I have to workout or simply because I don?t want to be around temptation.

I too, like a lot of you, love family and friends, happy hours, food, and fun! But I have to prioritize and stay focused on the goals I have for myself. And I think this is where many of us lose ourselves, because we forget to prioritize and think about what?s important in our daily lives. We lose focus. My suggestion would be to keep your eye on the target?..and your goals will be reached with a little discipline and hard work!

We all have an inner strength that allows us to know what we want and will do what it takes to achieve these wants and needs called goals. It?s called discipline and determination. Find it within yourself and you will be successful in anything you set your mind to.

There is always time for staying in shape and healthy??you just have to ?make time? and keep your focus!

Stay Fit and Focused

indoctrinate chanukah: Self-hypnosis Stop Smoking InDirect ...

Like many others I smoked when I was young but managed to kick the habit before I was totally hooked, I was lucky and suffered no damage to my health. But for a close friend it was different, even though she was only a moderate smoker, her health was being seriously affected and getting worse with time. Now this is where I really sympathize with smokers. She like many smokers knew the dangers and had genuinely tried many different ways to quit smoking. She tried patches, hypnosis and read several books on the subject of quitting, nothing had worked. She always ended back at square one, knowing she needed to quit, but how, nothing had a lasting effect. That was until she tried Smoke Deter.

So why am I telling this, because I played a small part in her success. You see I heard about Smoke Deter through my son, his best mate had quit smoking using Smoke Deter and I convinced my friend to try it. She was very skeptical, but I was so concerned about her health that I said that if it didn?t work I would pay for it, so she had nothing to lose and that convinced her. That was a year and five months ago, it worked and she is no longer a smoker, she has never has the urge to smoke since she quit using Smoke Deter, that?s a fact and it?s the only product she tried that she?s happy to tell others about.

Smoke Deter is an herbal based liquid oral spray that is used 3 times a day, this is also supplemented with herbal pills which when combined is very effective at reducing your nicotine cravings. How quickly it works depends on the extent of your habit, it can work as quickly as 2 weeks or may take 3 months, regardless of the time, your health is worth the effort to kick your smoking habit.

It?s worth noting that Smoke Deter is safe, natural and has no known side effect and no known drug interactions. It?s highly rated on many stop-smoking product review sites, often with genuine testimonials from people that have also kicked the smoking habit using it. So I am not the only one that knows Smoke Deter gets the desired result.

Smoke Deter also offers a lifetime free membership support program, so you are never on your own, help is available 24 hours a day if you feel the need, like if your resolve is weakening. There is also a free Stop Smoking Relaxation Audio MP3 available, it might not be for everybody but my friend said it was definitely a help to her, it changed the way she thought about smoking. That?s what I like about Smoke Deter it changes your whole attitude to smoking, it works on your mind as well as your body. Unfortunately I?ve seen the damage smoking has done within my own family and also in my circle of friends, consequently I?m fully aware just how hard it is to stop smoking without some kind of help. I?ve seen first hand how Smoke Deter helped my friend quit smoking and so it?s not surprising she can?t say enough about it. So if this article brings Smoke Deter to your attention and as a result helps you kick the smoking habit, then for me writing about it has been worthwhile.

So if you?ve been wondering if these quit smoking products work, well I guess some do and some don?t, but one that has my recommendation is Smoke Deter, I?ve personally seen it work when other methods failed. I?m happy to pass that information on so that others looking for a safe natural way to quit can try Smoke Deter if they wish.

If you would like more helpful information on Smoke Deter or other free quit smoking information, you may like to visit the source link below ? It seems to confirm some of my comments and is dedicated to helping smokers improve their health, fitness and beat the smoking habit.

Hotels in Girona - Hotel Reviews ? Business Travel Destinations

Girona offers a range of hotels that are in or nearby the city. Located just an hour outside of Barcelona and near Costa Brava, hotels in Girona are business-friendly and cost effective on budgets. If you?re searching for hotels in Girona, consider the following that we have seen:

• Hotel Nord 1901 4*
  Hotel Nord is a boutique hotel that is local in historic Girona and the commercial area of local shops and restaurants. It?s also steps away from the historic quarter, so this is one of the best spots for anyone wanting to be in the heart of Girona. Hotel Nord is in a hisotric building that was completely renovated in 2009, and my double room was extremely comfortable in size (high ceiling which was very nice) and two sets of tall french doors that I opened daily to take in the view of the hotel?s garden and pool area. The lobby Nord 1901 offers a small Catalan breakfast and wi-fi is included. The hotel can host small meetings and receptions.
• AC Palau de Bellavista Hotel 5*
  Girona?s Bellavista Hotel is a luxury property with the ability to hold larger meetings and special events. The lobby offers an incredible two-story glass wall with a comfortable lobby that also leads out to a massive terrace (both are fantastic spaces) where you?ll find cocktails and live music. Guest rooms are fully updated and modern. Each room includes artwork that shows local scenes of Girona. Bellavista is located just next to the historic district, but you?ll want to rely on taxis or your own vehicle. The hotel offers a level of privacy that caters to celebrities and politicians when they stay in Girona.
• Carlemany Hotel 4*
  Located in the heart of Girona, Carlemany is a modern hotel that has a nice location where you can easily walk to commercial and historic shopping (not to mention the historic quarter), Carlemany is a modern hotel that has 82 guest rooms, two restaurant lobbies and 10 meeting rooms for conferences and events.
• Meli? Gran Hotel 4*
  Located in the city itself, Melia Girona has an inviting lobby and is designed to meet the needs of both business and leisure travelers ? as you would expect from Melia Hotels (111 rooms). I particularly enjoyed seeing their breakfast buffet space (see gallery). The meeting space is comfortable and located on the second floor. It?s even flexible to the point where all rooms can be opened into one giant reception space. Sports teams are known to stay here.
• NH Girona Hotel 4*
  The NH Girona is perfectly located next to the Girona Auditorium and Congress Center which is in a residential area (see below). But it?s also near Devesa public park (which is a great spot for a walk if you?re in Girona and want to get away from the city center). NH Hotels certainly cater to the needs of business travelers, so it seems that NH Girona will not disappoint. NH Girona includes four meeting rooms that also lead to an outdoor terrace. I think another highlight is its rooftop pool, which is also a great spot for a poolside reception.
• Ciutat de Girona Hotel 4*
  This is a boutique, art deco hotel with 44 rooms that is located just across from Hotel Nord 1901. Guest rooms are very unique, offering a minimalist yet sophisticated decor. There?s space for smaller meetings, and you should enjoy dinner at Blanc Restaurant (as I did) which also provides catering for its meetings and events.
• Gran Ultonia Hotel *4
  Located in the city of Girona, Gran Ultonia is unique because it offers both three star and four star category accommodations (Gran Ultonia is the updated four star property with modern guest rooms). It is within walking distance to the Cathdral and historic quarter. If you stay here, you?ll want to check out the archeological wall that?s located on the first floor of the parking garage.
• Auditori Palau de Congressos de Girona
  You?re wanting to visit Girona for business, so you need to know about the Girona Auditorium and Conference Centre. This is a modern and flexible space. The architecture includes a striking combination of concrete, glass and steel. The main auditorium ? Symphony Hall ? holds more than 1200 people and is acoustically designed (as it name implies? check out the panels on the ceilings when you?re here!). You?ll really enjoy giving your general session presentations here. There?s also space to hold lunches or other receptions using outdoor space as well.

Have you visited Girona for work or play? Where did you stay and what advice would you share with others? Feel free to post your comments here.

A.J. Walkley: Refusing to Hide My Identity in Writing

These days, it seems like I am getting weekly emails from my mother regarding various posts on my Twitter and Facebook pages; she's extremely concerned I am wearing my bisexuality on my sleeve in these public forums, and that doing so will come back to bite me negatively very soon.

"Well, Mom, you do know I'm in the middle of publicizing my book, Queer Greer, right?"

Regardless of the fact that my novel is about a teenager coming to terms with her sexuality in high school, my mother cannot help but voice her concerns. While I continue to assuage those fears of hers, I can't help but wonder if in some ways she is right -- maybe not about this book, specifically, but regarding my entire persona as a writer.

To be sure, most of us think of certain authors or writers in a certain way, depending on what topics they generally write about. With J.K. Rowling you get fantasy. Anne Rice equals vampires. John Grisham equates to courtroom dramas. You get the idea. Stephen King, however, is always pegged a horror writer, regardless of the fact that he has written on other topics as well -- just look at Stand by Me. In fact, King has written many books under pseudonyms, perhaps to get out from under that very peg. Many writers tend to get pigeonholed for the topics they write about, if they stick to a certain theme for more than a few projects. When you've published a book with a very specific focus, though, you cannot help but cater to it and the audience it is intended for -- at least to a certain extent.

It just so happens that I am extremely proud of my identity within the LGBTQ community, and publicizing Queer Greer is currently one of my favorite joys. I readily characterize myself as a "queer" writer, irrespective of the topics I am writing on at any given time. Does my novel Choice, about the decisions a teen makes when faced with a pregnancy, make me any less queer? Not at all. Does my forthcoming novel Vuto, about traditional differences witnessed by a Peace Corps volunteer in Malawi, make me any less a part of LGBTQ culture? Not in the least.

I think my mother is concerned that the strength of my queer identity could dissuade some readers from picking up my books at all, whatever the given topic. This is an argument I've heard before when it's been suggested that I leave off certain gay-themed aspects in my r?sum? when applying for jobs, for instance (like my speaking engagement at the True Colors Conference last year, or the C?sar Ch?vez Social Justice Award I helped achieve for my college's gay-straight alliance, Spectrum). I don't blame my mom for making such suggestions, because I know they come from a place of love and protection; she simply doesn't want me to be discriminated against wrongfully, if I can help it. Nevertheless, I always have the same response and always will: if anyone, reader or potential employer alike, wants to judge me based on my sexual identity, they are not the right reader or employer for me. Simple as that.

I hope that when I move on to my next publication, the followers, fans, and readers who have come to love Queer Greer will continue to read, regardless of the topic of the book not being about sexuality in any way. At the same time, I hope my audience will grow as the subject matter I write about expands, and my sexuality won't dissuade more readers from picking up my books.

But if it does, maybe they just aren't meant to be reading my words. As long as I continue to keep my view as a writer broad, why shouldn't my readers, as well?

Norway mass killer deemed sane in new finding

OSLO (Reuters) - Norwegian Anders Behring Breivik was sane when he killed 77 people last summer in attacks he saw as punishing pro-immigration "traitors", a psychiatric team said on Tuesday, contradicting a prior report that found him psychotic.

Breivik has insisted he is mentally stable and demanded that his attacks - the most violent in Norway since World War Two - be judged as political rather than the work of a deranged mind.

His trial on terror and murder charges is scheduled to start in Oslo next week and last 10 weeks. The new report could give judges grounds to sentence Breivik to prison.

Breivik, 33, has admitted detonating a bomb that killed eight people at government headquarters in Oslo on July 22, then massacring 69 people with gunfire at a Labour Party summer camp. Most of the summer camp victims were teenagers.

"We're talking about psychosis, and we have found no evidence of it," psychiatrist Asgar Aspaas told reporters after submitting the 310-page report based on weeks of round-the-clock observation.

Aspaas was one of two experts appointed to provide a second opinion after a previous team using different methods found Breivik to be a psychotic who also suffered from paranoid schizophrenia. The initial finding caused a public uproar.

"It's a completely open question now," said Jo Martin Stigen, a University of Oslo law professor. "I don't think we can rule out that he will be considered legally sane in the end."

The dueling psychiatric teams are expected to defend their diagnoses in court, an unusual event in Norway. The final ruling will be made by a five-judge panel as part of its verdict at the end of the trial.

Breivik's attorney, Geir Lippestad, has said he would call political experts and historians to testify that Breivik's world view is shared by others. He would also call a radical Islamist cleric who holds a similar view that European and Islamic culture are irreconcilable.

If he is found guilty and the judges side with the latest psychiatric report, Breivik could face 21 years in prison with the potential for unlimited extensions to prevent him from repeating his crimes.

If Breivik is ruled psychotic he could face an indefinite period of psychiatric care in a locked facility.

District Judge Ina Stroemstad, who is not on the case, said the trial judges would now have to sort a tangle of evidence about Brevik's mental state, including his behavior in court.

"There is a broad picture now, with elements that do not go in the same direction, and that might make their conclusion more difficult," Stroemstad said.

At a preliminary hearing Breivik denied criminal guilt and suggested his actions were part of a war to save European culture.

"I am a military commander in the Norwegian resistance movement and Knights Templar Norway," Breivik said, echoing a written manifesto in which he called himself "a hero of Europe, a savior of our people and of European Christendom."

The new psychiatric report was not made public except for its main conclusions, while key parts of the prior evaluation made their way onto media websites.

"The background for the killings are his paranoid psychotic delusions that he is a participant in a civil war where he is responsible for deciding who lives and dies," the first report said. "His mission is to save the entire western world's culture and genes."

In a letter last week to news media, Breivik called the initial finding of psychosis a "humiliation" and said the experts seemed too traumatized by the killings to be objective.
