Is Your Smart Phone Making You Stupid?

By

The smarter our smart phones get, the dumber we're becoming behind the wheel of a car.

Teens get blasted for texting and driving, but let me tell you, it isn't just kids.  While I don't text and drive, I do have my unsafe moments of cell phone use.  Those of us who are older and "wiser" are guilty of our own set of cell phone violations – looking up numbers, dialing while driving, reading email, etc…

There's a line in this video, "What is worth losing your life over?  That text message?"  That question stopped me dead in my tracks of cell phone usage.  

You see, even though my car is equipped with bluetooth and I've got two hands on the wheel, I find myself looking up phone numbers, dialing, and pressing send while driving.  No more even just a little distraction for me.  Watch this, join me, and let's live longer, healthier lives while driving safely for us and those other people on the road.

Really!  How busy are you that it can't wait until conditions to text or call are safe?

Are You Starting A Diet on Monday?

By

Don't Diet!

"Diets don't work," flatly states my friend Dr. Wayne Andersen, the author of The Habits of Health and Living a Longer Healthier Life, and mentor in Judith's (my wife) health coaching practice.  Diets are short term decisions, not long term behaviorial and lifestyle changes so they don't work.

Don't Exercise Either!

Exercise is inefficient and often ineffective for healthy weight loss.  Exercise is important, but it needs to be in the right context of an overall program of health.

Do Invest 3 Minutes to watch A Weighty Conversation!

Below this video message is information to connect with a Health Coach of your choice or Judith.  Watch the message, then keep reading.



Do A Program, Not A Diet!

Your health rests upon making a better decision right now! 

  • If your Health Professional or Health Coach sent you A Weighty Conversation, then get back in touch with him or her to help you.  They will guide you.
  • If you need a Health Coach, please contact Judith McCarthy.  Email her right now and you'll soon be on your way to a healthier (and happier) 2011.

My Story

This is the program that helped me lose my weight and keep it (mostly) off for over 2 years!  Is your lifestyle preventing you from really being more fully on-purpose?

Join me.  Over the holidays I packed on more than a few extra pounds and I'm starting back on the program Monday to lose 15 pounds!  Regardless of whether you need to lose 15 pounds or 150 pounds, join with me to live a healthier weigh… on-purpose!

Be Wise!

If you are on Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol medication or obese, be sure to consult your doctor. Your health coach will work with you and your doctor to get you to a healthy weight and lifestyle.  Don't take unnecessary risks!

Quotes on Health

"As I see it, every day you do one of two things: build health or produce disease in your self."

Adella Davis (1904 – 1974)

"Look to your health: and if you have it, praise God, and value it next to conscience; for health is the second blesing that we mortals are capable of, a blessing money can't buy."

Izaak Walton (1593 – 1683)

Now there are more overweight people in America than average-weight people.  So overweight people are now average.  Which means you've met your New Year's resolution."

Jay Leno (1950 – )

How’s Your Resolve For Your New Year’s Resolutions?

By



Making New Year's Resolutions is just a bit more popular than breaking them.  How do you make your resolutions stick this year?  The answer isn't in a list, per se, but in the resolve and commitment you make.  This is actually very easy to measure. 

The On-Purpose Leader Experience is the ultimate opportunity to succeed in your goals.  Here you'll create written plans, develop support structure, and have a community of support on a members only website.  I look forward to interacting with you by phone and by web forums.

On January 5, The On-Purpose Leader Experience launches 2011 with an introductory, no charge preview.  You need to be registered to gain access to the private webcast and website.

When Chemists Laugh

By

 

Ag

Cartoon by Nick D. Kim, used with permission: Check out his talent at: http://www.lab-initio.com

Everyone's sense of humor is quirky and unique.  I have to say, however, that Nick D. Kim's cartoons makes me think Gary Larson's of The Far Side fame is compounded with a brainiac chemist to produce offbeat cartoons that bring science alive with humor.

Candidly, I had never heard of Nick D. Kim, but now I think he is maybe one of the most famous chemists of all because he's bringing chemistry to cartoons and that's cheap medicine for the soul.

Be sure to visit his web site.
