Diet Pills are Bad – CEO Goes To Jail

Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals President and CEO, Jared Wheat was sentenced 50 months in prision for illegally selling knock-off prescription drugs over the Internet.  Not only is he facing jail and fines, but him and his business companions were demanded to foreit over $3 million from the proceeds of the illegal business transactions.

In the article the drugs that were being sold illegally were generic versions of: Xanax, Valium, Ambien, Vioxx, Zoloft, Viagra and Cialis.  I can’t believe that there are people that will actually buy pills that normally need a prescription from a licensed doctor over the Internet!  Personally, I think that is insane to trust someone online with medicine.

Stretching Exercises

My sister is a high school sophomore who is involved in 3-sports (cross-country, basketball & track).  She recently purchased a stretching machine that she uses before and after any strenuous activity.  In the past month of trying the product out she has noticed an increase in her flexibility and stride when running across the basketball court.  Before , stretching use to be a hassle, now stretching exercises take a matter of minutes and are easy to do (she actually is feeling a difference in a short amount of time).

Stretching is extremely important, especially when one starts physical activity.  Not stretching can cause muscle aches & pain and future exercising uncomfortable (we’ve all been there).

Celebrities and Weight

Nowadays image means a lot, whether to yourself, your surroundings, etc.  Everyone wants to be “in shape.”  How far is to far? People.com photographed celebrities that are “too thin.”  But these days who knows what too thin is. Last week we were all hearing about Jessica Simpson wearing the mom jeans up to her neck and she’s a size 8.  Who really cares what size Jessica Simpson is, I can tell you that my day will still go on if I don’t know what size pants a celebrity is.  We all want an exercise to lose weight or “magic” equipment to get us there.

Being a woman it seems like women get more issues than men when dealing with weight? Is it because it’s more noticeable? or maybe it’s because we (women) make it more of an issue to the public?  It’s evident in the Jessica Simpson fiasco that magazines pull her apart for the slightest little thing just to make a buck.  And to be honest, Yes, celebrity gossip is addicting.

Benefits of Folding Treadmill

When I was looking for a treadmill, it was really difficult to find an exercise machine that would fit my measurement requirements.  It was so important that it fit in a particular part of my room where it wouldn’t be in the way of my everyday life.  I was seeking a compact treadmill and I came across a someone on a “I Hate Men” site (by the way I don’t hate men lol – you should really check that site out) who raved about the TR1000 that she had purchased.  Two weeks after I saw that comment, I went out and bought it and now I have an elliptical machine and a treadmill.

This morning when I was driving to work I was listening to the radio and I had a commercial that said, “Do you ever have trouble staying on a diet because you are constantly hungry?”  I think that assumption is because people think that eating less food is the way to diet.  Now, I’m no doctor, BUT I think that it’s the KIND of food people eat when they are on a “diet.”  I try and alter my eating habits when I’m eating “healthy” but sometimes I’ll break down to chocolate, twizzlers…you know all that good stuff :)

Happy Dieting :)

Diet Pills?

Right now I’m trying to stick to a diet and exercise plan so I can get ready for bathing suit weather, it isn’t that far away – unfortunately.  I’ve been eating fairly well and using my elliptical trainer for at least 20 minutes every day after work.  I was considering going on a diet pill, in addition to eating well and exercising until I was reading opinions online of people’s experiences.  Did anyone hear about that new Alli Diet??  That is the first diet pill that came to mind when I was looking online…and boy did the site make it come off like it would just “wash away the fat.”  I was reading reviews and they were saying that users were recommended to be aware of frequent bathroom mishap.  My jaw dropped!  No way am I wearing a diaper just to lose some weight, I”ll still to regular fitness equipment even though it’s such a hassel to take time out of your day to get all sweaty and tired, in the long run it’s better than having to crap your pants to shed the weight.
