Trust Bingo, folks. This stuff really works. Although, in some cases, there is concern that you’ll overshoot your target heart-rate zone, right into stroke territory.
This is actually a congenital defect in us life-long Redskins fans… ooor… maybe being a Redskins fan is the congenital defect…??

Being a Bills fan is an acquired defect….but at least in watching them, there’s no danger of stroking out….:(

I never watched football until I moved to Pittsburgh in 2000. The whole city basically shuts down when the “Stillers” play. I understand most of what’s going on now - although I’m not going to be joining a fantasy football league any time soon. I’m not anywhere near the couch-cardio zone - I know there are girls who do - maybe I’m just defective :-)

Jon, I value your opinion, and have a question. In BFFM Tom says food combining is a myth. Yet, other body builders and nutritionists promote this(swear by it) as a healthy alternative for their eating plan. What is your opinion on food combining? Would really appreciate the input. Thank you much, Lauren

Brian is glad that field goal missed or Bingo would be singing mucho different tune and maybe leading armed insurgents in the streets.

I just thought i will share with all of you my personal sort of revelation and since i haven’t said a word to anybody about this I think it is time that somebody will listen - or maybe it is time for me to aknowledge the reasons why i haven’t been very successful in discarding the fat.
I have been reading Tom’s articles why we sabotage ourselves. I never really paid any attention to it because i thought that it doesn’t apply to me. But yesterday while my husband was driving and we started to argue and then I realized why I always struggle with almost everything I do.
Ever since i can remeber I was always compared to somebody else. I don’t recall my mother ever saying that i was good at anything. Making it short this is probably how I ended up marrying my husband who always says that i am doing something wrong etc. the story continues of just basically never being good enough, that always there is somebody better than me who can do it better who can loose weight faster who looks better and on and on and on….
Why did it take me so many years to realize this I will never know but what i know is that it took you (Jon) and Tom and everybody here doing the 10 in 10 to finally get it.
How long will it take me to get over that and to start doing things “my way” and being sure that it is ok and that i can do it just as good as anybody else….
this is huge for me because I have never thought that I was the one who had any emotional baggage with me - but i guess i do now. I will have to figure out a way on how to approach this …
thanks for listening

Hi Guys,
my resting pulse rate is down to 64-65bpm compared to 80-82 bpm when I started this gig on the 22/10/05. Now that’s good, isn’t it? I was pretty impressed myself. So far my web surfing hasn’t told me much about it.
Its weigh in day and I’m down 8kg,17.6lbs.
Ah all hail Jon and Tom and BFFM, and me incidentally for following through.
Anna, congratulations, its a huge deal realising all that. Its feels kinda of familiar, the negative, comparing mother, I wonder if its part of the generation. I was compared endlessly to my star of an eldest brother. What the hey I’m wayyy fitter and lighter now. I do my darnedest not to repeat the error with my sons, never comparing. Just try and let it go, tune out that part of any conversation.There is a method, where you turn any negative remark into a power source for yourself.Goeslike this wwhenever they start up, you think oh good, they’re yelling,etc again I can feel it powering me up. Tuning out has the advantage of it not registering in your subconscious,and can reducing the behaviour in the instigator, by not giving them their reward of a response.

Hello Anna
Well there ma lady, here is the fact. There is somebody always better at you in every thing that you stated. Stop the truck for a moment. Dearest Anna, there is nobody and I do mean nobody that is a better you. The only thing you have to do is be better then you are right now. A lot of what Jon and Tom teach boils down to establishing the eating/exercise program that is right for you and match your goals. My parents were pretty great but I was home for less then half the year as I went to a boarding school for the blind. I came out of there maybe with a harder personality then I would like but maybe that is what made me stronger too. I don’t know. It’s too heavy a topic for me. You just define those goals, set those targets and hit them. Hit them hard and be proud of every milestone you reach. And Anna I believe that we will be just as proud of you. I’ll not say good luck as luck has no place in discarding un wanted fat and gaining lean muscle mass. Good advice, good mind set, good meals and a good program will equal great results. Have fun with it and I look forward to hearing about your results.

Hello everyone
thank you so much for aknowledging me and understanding. It means a lot on a road to self discovery. Just to know that all of you are here makes me feel better cause for some reason i feel like crying and feeling sorry for myself. But it is a huge load of my chest and i do feel lighter (mentally of course).
Thank you Mike, Todd,Clare and all of you who read my blog. I feel alone here at home but I know that you guys are here for me.
Right now I feel like I could hug you all
Thanks again

To All:
I’ve opted to stay in an answer some of your blog comments…catching up!
To Football Fans:
Go Boyz.
To Lauren:
I answered this via email I believe, but for everyone else’s benefit:
My opinion is that it’s valid if you have a weak GI system. If GERD, or acid reflux, is an issue, then food combining can really come in handy. For people with ‘normal’ metabolic and digestive functions, it’s hogwash.
The “acid/alkaline” bit is pseudoscience. Simple common sense pulls that logic apart — if this were the case (that the body cannot digest acids and alkaline-based foods at the same time, and that assumes that a food IS acid or alkaline, when in fact foods are both), then everyone eating ‘normally’ would be deathly ill from malnutrition.
Believe me, some very healthy people eat protein and starch without a problem. I can, but I also enjoy eating high fat/protein and low carb most of the time. That nutrition plan forces “food combining” for the most part.
To Brian:
We just would have gone into overtime and…
…no. You’re right. : )
To Anna:
Thank you girl for being so patient with my response.
Self-sabotage is one of the most cruel of endeavors our mind decides to embark upon. However, once the pattern is realized (and you realize that you would NEVER say these things to a person you cared for — and you simply MUST CHOOSE to care for yourself), you can break free.
It is huge, Anna — massive. It’s the reason for a lot of metabolic issues, too — the psyche and the body are intimately linked.
Please continue on this path — and perhaps I can help you with a few free M-Power audios on the subject.
One quick argument tip: you can diffuse an argument with anyone who cares to relate to you (that’s key — if all they want to do is ‘win at all costs’, you’re in a dysfunctional relationship and HE or SHE is the dysfunctional one!), is start asking very good questions:
“If this isn’t what you want (whatever you’re debating), can I ask what it is you do want?”
“How can you help me provide that?” (That’s a key question — the responsibility is MUTUAL on the basis of the question — but only ask it if it’s a reasonable request.)
“Do you believe that this would strengthen our relationship?”
Instead of asking, “Why do we fight all the time?”, which your mind will answer in spades, ask, “How do you think we can we improve our connection to each other?” or “Since we both really want peace in our lives and together, what can we do to create more of it?”
About M-Power:
Give me until January — we’re setting the system up to where I can offer 4 free weeks, but it’s not weeks 1-4. While that sounds “logical”, there are 4 specific weeks I would like to share with you all.
In the meantime, just pretend you are talking and acting on the behalf of someone you love the most — how would you act? Speak? Think? Phrase things?
Honor yourself, and you will honor others even more-so.
Thanks for sharing.
To Clare:
Good? Incredible is more like it! Fantastic job!
Gee, I think Tom owes me half his business…or is that the other way around? Yeah, other way around. ; )
