Have You Ever Met a World Champion Skier?
 |
| Freestyle skier Grete Eliassen |
It was amazing to meet Grete Eliassen at the Red Bull North
American Headquarters in Santa Monica. Grete is an American-Norwegian freestyle
skier, who is a 6-time Winter X Games Freeskier medalist! She also set the
Guinness World record for Women’s Hip Jump. No wonder! She started skiing at
the age of two!
I was so impressed to hear how she pushed herself to the
limit during a two-week Red Bull High Performance project in Australia. Be sure
to stay tuned, when it’s a reality TV show. Can you imagine holding your breath
for four minutes? Hiking all day in 100+ degrees? Jumping out of a plane?
Fun facts: Grete’s favorite food is Mozzarella cheese, and
her favorite physical activity is skiing in fresh powder (might of guessed that
one.)
Way to go Grete!! It takes a lot of hard work and
determination to be a world champion.

What Are You Doing With Your Leftover Halloween Candy?
 |
| Trick or Treat |
Halloween is over, but the candy may still be lingering in
plastic pumpkins, pantry shelves or bedroom drawers.
Did you know that an extra 50 calories a day can add an
extra five pounds in a year? If each candy is 25-40 calories and you eat 3-5 of
them a day, you do the math. It will add unwanted pounds. And what if you are
having a bad day and eat 300-500 extra calories in candy?
So what should you do with the candy? Most of my clients,
who are trying to lose weight, tell me that they take it to the office. That’s
one way of getting rid of it. Except the people eating it are also my clients. Other
places to dispose of the candy include homeless shelters, fire stations, and sending
it overseas. Two-thirds of Americans are overweight or obese. Does anyone
really need so much candy? It is providing sugar calories for energy but no
nutrients. An acceptable amount of candy calories would be 160 calories a day
for 1,800 calories. This is assuming that there won’t be any other calories consumed
on extra carbohydrates, protein, fat or alcohol.
No one wants to be the Halloween Scrooge, but it’s possible to
limit the amounts of candy collected. It’s also possible to buy less candy and
turn out the lights, when it’s gone.
Do you have any ideas regarding what to do with leftover Halloween
candy??
