315,532,800
Happy Anniversary to My Amazing and Beautiful Wife Terri!
So why 315,532,800… well that is precisely the time we have been married in seconds. It could very well be the same number of pounds of fat I have helped people lose… I guess we need to start that tally now too. (I have a special gift for you too… click the link at the end of this post).
Here is a weird way to tally how long I have been married and all during the process I have struggled with weight gain, weight loss, muscle gain, muscle loss, the urge to train, bulk up, mountainbike, resume MMA training and even from time to time think longingly for the days back in the royal Canadian Military. But I wouldn’t trade what I have today with Terri and our 3 amazing kids for any of that silly boy stuff…
Well sort of…
I am back to training, but don’t plan on competing in any body building events.
I am flipping tires and doign strong man things, but won’t compete again.
I do like to toss the football and skate but won’t go semi pro again.. not that I would even make the first round of cuts.
I am mountain biking once again and it feels great… entering into a race series starting next Tuesday.
So I am getting some old habits (only the good and healthy ones), but for the greater good of my personal well being and that of my family. When I train I am a better person. I feel better, look better and think better. I have a better eating habit and supplement more regularly with my multi vitamins and proteins… which by the way enhances your mental outlook and your internals and hormone profiles as well as functions.
I encourage you today to consider doing at least 20 minutes of intense activity 3-5 even 7 days a week. I walk 20-30 minutes after I take the kids to the school bus in the morning and train or mountain bike 5 days a week. Its only been a few weeks and I feel great.
So here’s a bunch of dumb numbers to say its 10 years later and I am still married and love my wife and kids more today than I did 10 years ago (my oldest is only 6). Check it out… crazy numbers…
The total number of days between Saturday, May 20th, 2000 and Thursday, May 20th, 2010 is 3,652 days.
This is equal to exactly 9 years and 12 months.
This does not include the end date (today), so it’s accurate if you’re measuring in days, or the total days between the start and end date. But if you want the duration of an event that includes both the starting date and the ending date, then it would actually be 3,653 days.
The total time span from 2000-05-20 to 2010-05-20 is 87,648 hours.
This is equivalent to 5,258,880 minutes.
You can also convert 3,652 days to 315,532,800 seconds.
May 20th, 2000 was a Saturday. It is the 141st day of the year, and in the 20th week of the year (assuming each week starts on a Monday), or the 2nd quarter of the year. There are 31 days in this month. 2000 is a leap year, so there are 366 days in this year. The short form for this date used in the United States is 5/20/2000.
May 20th, 2010 is a Thursday. It is the 140th day of the year, and in the 20th week of the year (assuming each week starts on a Monday), or the 2nd quarter of the year. There are 31 days in this month. 2010 is not a leap year, so there are 365 days in this year. The short form for this date used in the United States is 5/20/2010.
Yeah and just to be 100% truthful I am not smart enough or make that way to smart to do all those calculations myself. I used this handy tool >> http://www.convertunits.com/dates/from/May+20,+2000/to/May+20,+2010
Well I have to say I am more than excited for this day. I am pretty busy, but I will shut things down later today and do something with my wife and kids, then just my amazing wife (Terri).
Today is the day that celebrates 10 years since we have been married… and to my amazement she still loves me… I hope its more or at least the same as back in the day, after all much has changed, especially me, our lifestyle and the number of people in the house (+3 kids). WOW!
To celebrate I am having a 3 day sale. Starting at noon (12pm) today until noon (12pm) on Sunday I will be almost giving away the Done-For-You Fast Fat Loss System for half its normal price. If you are looking to lose fat fast, then today you can celebrate with me and lose some fat real fast.
Come Celebrate My 10 Year Anniversary and Celebrate the Start of Your New Body

My friends at the Village of Hope in Oouagadougo are always in need of more food and water, but tehy are now growing thier own food thanks to the water well drilling and installation (I was part of that team) that took place about 7 years ago and are now providing water and food for other neighboring cities and even tribes living in the bushes… yeah I know amazing since I was there when it was all red clay sand and the main factor to lush vegetation was simply WATER.
So on my birthday I am going to give 5% of every Personalized Nutrition Program to an organization I work with to provide Food and Water thru the Empowered Foundations and I am going to give you a great deal, a great tool to accomposhing the body of your dreams faster than you ever imagined possible.

“Omega-3 fatty acids Improves Mobility,
Healthy Joints and Other Inflammatory Disorders”
Arthritis and Joint Disorders are inflammatory conditions linked to toxic free radicals. Conventional treatments, such as non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory prescription drugs (NSAIDs), only offers symptomatic relief; they do not reverse arthritic conditions. This group of inflammatory drugs including Aleave, Motrin IB and aspirin, can lead to side effects like stomach ulcers, kidney problems and ringing in the ears.
These drugs hamper joint healing and the muscle-building process itself, which is why an increasing number of people with joint problems are choosing alternative approaches. One of the most promising natural alternatives is Omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil.
Omega-3 fatty acids can help to ease morning stiffness and tenderness in the joints. Clinical studies of Omega-3 supplements in patients with rheumatoid arthritis have demonstrated a reduction of arthritic symptoms; including pain, the number of tender joints and morning stiffness. Also, studies conducted in this population have shown that taking Omega-3 supplements led to a decreased use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and corticosteroids, with effects peaking over a 6-8 month period.
A very promising, recent study published in Surgical Neurology investigated Omega-3 supplementation (with EPA and DHA) for non-surgical neck and back pain. The results were striking – a majority reported improvement in their pain symptoms and 4 in 5 patients were satisfied with their improvement…

With the season on us, some of the early fruits and veggies are coming out and this season is shaping up to be a great one. Besides the obvious reasons to eat natural grown foods, it is also good to use fresh locally grown fruits and veggies for BOTH fat loss and muscle building as well as health and vitality.
So here it is a short list of great reasons for Fruits and Veggies

Some crunch, some are juicy, some you can peel, some you can grow in your own backyard!
Fruits and veggies are nature’s treat and easy to grab for a snack.
Fresh fruits and veggies – there are hundreds to choose from. Try a new one today!
Eating a healthy diet including fruits and veggies can help contribute to your overall health and vitality.
Eating plenty of fruits and veggies may help reduce the risk of some types of cancer.
Most fruits and veggies are naturally low in calories.
Fruits and veggies provide fibre that helps fill you up and keeps your digestive system happy.
Fresh, frozen, canned and dried fruits and veggies are ready when you are!
Fruits and veggies add color, texture and goodness to every meal and snack.
