My top 5.

My top 5 weight lose tips:

1.  Drink more water.
This should go with out saying. 

2.  Exercise every day.
Yes, this means everyday.  Walk, run, bike, yoga, strength training, at least 20 minutes everyday.

3.  Eat more vegetables.
 My opinion, we all need to work on this.  Vegetables are typically low in fat and calories, with many other health benefits.  Try to choose vegetable rich in color, and keep a good balanced nutritional plan.

4.  At least 4 day of aerobic activity.
Different then exercise everyday, but counted as your exercise for the day.  

aerobic exercise,
any physical exercise that requires additional effort by the heart and lungs to meet the striated muscles' increased demand for oxygen. Aerobic exercise increases the breathing rate and ultimately raises heart and lung efficiency. Prolonged aerobic exercise (at least 20 minutes three times a week) is recommended for the maintenance of a healthy cardiovascular system. Examples of aerobic exercise include running, jogging, swimming, and vigorous dancing or cycling. Also called aerobicsCompare anaerobic exerciseSee alsoactive exercisepassive exercise.

5. Limit refined foods.
I'll stay here for a second, not only candy and donuts:
Yep this counts as refined food.  If you can store it almost indefinitely, probably not that good for you.  Most likely high calories, fat, and not that much nutritional value.  
Eat to live, not live to eat.

Just my opinion, take as you will. Be great today.

Ahhhh, you put it together.

Love and hate this guy, but impressive.

Love my hockey.


Mark Messier. The greatest captain of any sport, any time...period. He led on the ice and in the dressing room. His skill, willpower and ability to carry a team -- especially in the playoffs -- were unmatched by any player in any sport, other than perhaps Michael Jordan (who was not the same caliber of leader as Messier).

In 25 years , Messier played 1,756 games, and tallied 694 goals, 1,193 assists for a total of 1,887 points (second all time). He's also second all time in playoff points. And he wasn't just a scorer, he'd stand up for his teammates, too, racking up 1,910 penalty minutes.

He won 6 Stanley Cups: 5 in Edmonton (including one in 1990 without Gretzky), and then carried the Rangers to their first Cup in 54 years in 1994. 

No one else has ever captained two different teams to a championship.

His leadership is so legendary, the NHL actually created an award to memorialize it -- the Mark Messier Leadership Award -- given to the player who best leads by example on the ice and motivates his teammates.
Who is this Guy?

Well lets start from the top, Lance.  If you like him, hate him, or just don't care, he drove the bus to 7 Tour de France wins.  I would say that makes him an outlier.

Messier, enough said.

...and that guy, Jeremy Lin, I never heard of this guy till writing this.  Go to the article under lessons and reread #3.  This guy is impressive.

That is all I got, you figure it out.  Be great today.  Square pegs do not fit in round holes.
