Volunterring in Branson at the 70.3 Iornman.



Volunteering in Branson at the 70.3 Iornman.

For those of you who don't know much about Triathlons it is were you do three sports in a row. The typical and most common is to swim, bike, and run.

The 70.3 Iornman it is  1.2 mile swim / 56 mile bike / 13.1 mile run (1/2 marathon.)
70.3 is half the distance of a Full Iornman.
A full Iornman is 2.4-mile swim/ 112-mile bike / 26.2 miles (a marathon) 140.6 total miles.

We have done sprint triathlons 400 meter swim/12 mile bike / 5K run. It might not sound like much next to Ironman but let me assure you it is hard. We were planning on doing an 70.3 Iornman this past race season but due to injuries we were not able to. Lord willing we will be doing an Iornman this up coming year 2012.

We wanted to volunteer for the one in Branson for so many reasons.
The three main reasons were we wanted to see how they were run, what to expect, and to show our support for the sport. It was such a wonderful experience and an awesome event. So many walks of life and so many different ages, sizes, colors, ethnicity, regions, and countries were represented.

Our experience volunteering was

3rd Annual NO Halloween Candy CHALLENGE



3rd Annual  NO Halloween Candy CHALLENGE



My commitment is to not eat Halloween Candy 
from today 
until 2 week after Halloween.

I will allow myself to have 2 pieces after that. 

I will have none until then.








I do this challenge because I would find myself eating candy and not even thinking about it. 
I would think it's only once little piece but it adds up and it's BAD thinking!

I have been very successful every year.  I began to challenge others. 
Most of the time I don't even eat the candy at the end of my challenge. I worked so hard not to have it.
It was more of a reward NOT to eat it at the end! 

Who's in it with me? 
What will your commitment be? Make it personal to you. 
Some people allow them self one piece of candy a week or only one kind or candy. 
Make this Challenge yours. 

Here is the calorie count for those little candies.

QUESTION:
Hi Tia,
Just have a question about the amount of protein per day I should be having. Seventy seven grams is about 2.7 oz. That can't be per day? Per meal maybe? I'm confused....or may my conversion is wrong?




ANSWER:

You can't look 77 grams as a weighted measurement   It is 77 grams of  protein


Example: Chicken breast, 3.5 oz has 30 grams protein

How I calculated how much protein needed:
Your weight in lbs divided by 2.2 = your weight in kilograms

take your weight in kilograms x 1 = for protein requirements

I explain how to get protein in on my blog.

How Much Protein is in Food?




How Much Protein is in Vegetables and Fruit?

What To Look For If You Have Wheat Allergies


What To Look For If You Have Wheat Allergies 

Foods made with wheat are staples in most of our diets. However, many people are allergic to gluten proteins found in wheat. If you are allergic to any wheat protein avoiding wheat and wheat products is the only way to prevent an allergic reaction. An Allergic reaction could include stomach upset, eczema, allergic rhinitis, asthma and even anaphylaxis. (Anaphylaxis is a life-threatening type of allergic reaction)

It is difficult to avoid these foods since many products may contain wheat including food that you might not expect. Such as ice cream and Ketchup. To avoid allergic reaction people with gluten free diet must always check the label of ingredients before you buy the product.

Guidelines For Eating Healthy

Guidelines For Eating Healthy 

1 I cannot deny myself of food but I just give myself guidelines. We need to eat for energy 
2 Variety Moderation is the key to a healthy lifestyle. 
3 ALSORARE: Always Sometimes and Rarely is how i look at food. 
4. Over eating leads to disease and early death in some instances. I am sure we all know a few people who have died from the effects of obesity.
5.  Guilt, can lead me to over eating. 
6. The definition of “insanity” is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. That was me hoping that the jeans wouldn’t be tight this year that the next time I looked at my butt it wouldn’t have cottage cheese with saddle bags.
7. NOTHING is wrong with having a treat! However we can not have dessert every day or every time we eat. 
8. Remember food is ENERGY. 
9. Breakfast important to start the day off right. 
10. Balanced eating every 3 hours will help you stay full and satisfied. 

Ask myself before I eat :
1. Am I hungry if not what can I do BESIDES eat. Go run, read a boot, or do a puzzle. Do an activity to keep your mind off of food. 
2. If I am hungry what is the best food choice to fuel my body

EAT, IT'S A MUST FOR HEALTH.
TIA

Welcome! Hi I'm Tia.

I am a life coach and a Certified Personal Trainer.
My goal is to help anyone to have a healthy lifestyle, with out dieting. Because "I Don't Do Diet".

First a little about my beliefs.
I choose what to do, not do, eat , not eat, work out, not work out. BUT I don't get to choose the consequences for my actions!
Neither do you =)

Settle with the Past! Engage in the Present!Believe in the Future!

I choose to be active!
I choose to live life and not watch it go by!
I choose not to be lazy!
With out God I would choose wrong.

"You" are one thing you have control over! Make it work for you!
SO...Stop making excuses. It won't help. The end result is the same. Poor health! JUST DO IT! =)

If you have time to watch TV, go to the movies, talk on the phone, and go shopping then you have time to work out!
If you can't do an hour then do 30 minutes. If you can't do 30
minutes then do 10 minutes. JUST DO IT! MAKE IT WORK!!!
Someone busier than you is running right now =)
