Real People Real Results - Understanding how food, fitness and mental attitude affect weight loss
When I was growing up, I watched the Carol Burnette show almost every day. It was on at 5:00 for an hour and my mom hated it. She called Carol “that screaming woman”, but I loved Tim Conway and the other cast members. This is the Tim Conway Siamese elephant story outtake that was made famous over the years.

Thanks to Mel at Insight Eye Photography for the heads up on it.
Because this X games rider Travis Blink deserves the credit he’s due, his 2006 X Games best trick.

I believe Travis is the guy behind the nitro circus car and bike jump and the Grand Canyon jump.
I was just talking with my friend, a personal trainer from Toronto and author of The Fit Bastard and The Fit Chic, Scott Tousignant, about his current goals of getting to 5% body fat.
I asked him what method he’s using to reach his goals and he replied “My Fit Bastard Workouts” and Jon Benson’s Every Other Day Diet. I caught him while he was making a tuna salad meal and asked him how the rest of his program looked and if he was on target to reach his goal. He’s three weeks out and 2% away from achieving it.
I realized that I’ve got my next 6 weeks of cardio and training planned and I’m following my own Reverse Caveman Diet on which Fat Loss Fundamentals is loosely based. I know what I’ll be eating for the next 6 weeks and I have it mapped out on my calendar.
It got me thinking about this poll, asking that very question – about how far ahead you plan your meals. Do you know what you’ll be eating for the day, or tomorrow? If I asked you what you’re having for lunch tomorrow, how would you answer? What about next week on Wednesday? is it a re-feed day? a low carb day? A meat day? a cleansing day?
I’d like to know how far ahead you plan your meals and what sort of reasons or results you get from the format you follow

As always, leave your comments with your thoughts.
As a side note, Scott and I were talking about the Fit Chic workout program and all it has to offer. It sounds like it’s quite the kick ass program for women wanting to get in shape. I’ll be doing a review of it soon. In the mean time, check out The Fit Chic women’s workout program.

What happens why you take a monster truck, a bunch of dirt bikes, a rally car and put them all together where there’s a bunch of dirt?

I asked the question Do You Eat Breakfast ? back in October and of the people who voted, 79% said that they do. The benefits of eating breakfast are plenty and when Christina began the conscious effort to eat when she woke up, she found that she had more energy through the day, was more emotionally balanced and ate less in the evenings. She lost 5 pounds in the first two weeks of beginning the new practice and burned the phrase “eat breakfast and lose weight” into her brain.
Today I read DoshDosh‘s question on twitter about liquid breakfasts which then got me thinking about what people choose as liquid breakfasts. I’ve done them all, coffee, fresh squeezed orange juice, raw egg whites, protein shakes with EFA’s. In a few months I’ll be getting out my juicer and doing a bunch of green smoothies a la the Former Fat Guy but these days it’s a traditional breakfast along with Sunrider Nuplus, Quinary and Calli tea.
I know why people choose liquid breakfasts – convenience. My question today is

I’m sure there are a lot of other options for liquid breakfasts so if you’ve got one, pass it along. If it’s a green smoothie or home made protein shake recipe, leave it in the comments.
