Hi everyone!! I had some thoughts today while I was doing my hillsprints that I just had to share with you, about FAT … more specifically different kinds of fat and what it takes to lose body fat as well as the concept of cutting out dietary fat in order to lose that body fat.

Plus, a quick (but by now, super boring) update about the computer and what HP is doing lately (hint: NOTHING… as usual).

Check out my opinionated views on Fat and more here:

Don’t forget to check out Rob Poulos’ Fat Burning Furnace fitness eBook. It’s a great book… a bit unconventional, and has definitely tons of worthwhile concepts and theories about Fast Fat Loss.

You can go here to check it out:

Get Fat Burning Furnace

And, without further ado, here’s today’s Workout Song of the Day… this one is in honour of the hillsprints that I got under my belt today. I think you’ll be able to figure out the connection on your own, so I won’t elaborate!! LOL.

This is a great song for cardio though, in case you haven’t figured that part out yet!! ha ha!

IRON MAIDEN – Run To The Hills

Don’t forget, if you love it and want to grab it for your own workout collection, all you have to do is click on the “Buy” button on the sample player widget and it will gently take you by the hand and lead you over to Amazon where you can buy it, and start running and weight training with it blasting away just like I do!

That’s it for today, gang. Don’t forget Canadians, no overindulging on Thanksgiving unless you’ve scheduled your ONE cheat meal this week on the same day that your Thanksgiving feast lands on. Let’s practice our restraint, shall we everyone? No one ever got thin or fit by pigging out every time they have an excuse to.

Have a fit, fun and happy weekend, and we’ll see you soon.

Hey everyone. Guess what? I’m still working out!! LOL. Just joking, I know you all know I’m still working out. However, that computer trauma we all thought would be done with by the time HP did the right thing and sent me a new computer? Nope, not over yet. I don’t even want to try to describe for you what’s going on NOW (with the BRAND NEW TOP OF THE LINE UNIT) so you really must watch the vid to hear the latest. HP, SHAME ON YOU. This is beyond ridiculous.

I also wrap up about my Summer workouts and what I really must concentrate on with my workouts now that the Summer heat is over. I also really have to watch myself when it comes to distractions working out at home (as must you if you work out at home like I do).

Watch here for details:

(oh, and note to self: the lighting is different at night!!) LOL. Sorry for the dark lighting, I stood where I always stand just because it’s habit (and the lighting is the best there… DURING THE DAY! duh!!) … when I record video at night in the future I’ll try to remember that and find better lighting. Bear with me on this one please!!

Oh, also have you noticed? I’ve figured out how to add fade outs and titles to my videos!! Gee, how long have I been video blogging now? Too long to admit, given I only learned how to do this last week!!

HAHA!! See? Proves how bloody busy I am on a daily basis right? I can’t even find the time to learn something THIS basic!! OMG!!

But anyway, here’s my chance to point out the neat little title at the end of the video that promotes the cool new review that I wrote over on my FlabLabs site.

So go check out an awesome product and what I have to say about it here:

Girlwithnoname’s Review of Rob Poulos’ Fat Burning Furnace

… And as usual, I’m getting all smartypants with my Workout Song of the Day… don’t you think by now HP should be feeling just a little bit of Shame about what they’ve been putting me through? Well, here ya go HP, a song dedicated just to you. Shame on you!!

Besides being a good song to dedicate to HP and the Shame they should be feeling, the song is GREAT for weight training… all sorts of angsty emotion in this one. Give it a go, it will crank you up hard!!

STABBING WESTWARD – Shame

Don’t forget, if you love it and want it for your own collection, all you have to do it click on the “Buy” button on the player widget and you’ll be whisked over to Amazon where you can grab it for yourself.

That’s it for today everyone!! Hope your week has been fabulous so far. Weekend coming up!! Woo Hoo!! For anyone in Canada, LONG weekend coming up! It’s our Thanksgiving!!

mmm… turkey!!

So if you’re having Thanksgiving like I am, ENJOY … but be careful with the whole overindulgence thing… if you must, make sure you schedule it as your ONE cheat meal this week (otherwise known as “metabolism jack-up day”) and go for it, otherwise BEHAVE YOURSELF at the table, do you hear?!?

Have a great fit and fun day!! See you soon!

AAAAAAAAHHH!!!!!! Summer officially ended today. WAH! It’s the first day of Autumn and while it doesn’t quite feel like it in Vancouver yet, I’m wildly unimpressed that Summer flew by that quickly!!

Anyway, I digress…I’m trying to work those 35lb dumbbells some more, this time trying to get them up on flat bench flyes. Ouch!

And Hewett Packard still sucks. No phone call from tech support as promised and its been a week and a half now. GR!

jeez, look at the time, I gotta get back to work!!

…and in honour of me maintaining my control while doing those heavy 35lb DB Flyes, here’s today’s Workout Song of the Day, all about Control!! (see how tricky I can be with these songs? haha)

… anyway, it’s a great song for Cardio or Weight Training because it’s got a good drivin’ beat AND it’s all angsty ‘n stuff!!

Enjoy:

Nitzer Ebb – Control I’m Here

Don’t forget, if you love it and want to work out to it too, go grab it through the Buy button on the Sample Player Widget!!

That’s it for today!! Back to work for me. How about you?

Have a great, fit and fun day.

HELLO!!! This day is not shaping up in the best of directions!!!

A case of sleep deprivation thanks to one late night funny tweeter last night (and thanks for that @BradHoward, you’re freaking hilarious but so much so I didn’t go to bed when I should have) and an early phone call from my mechanic this morning with a touch of bad news set the tone for the day.

And this on top of my ON… GOING…. COMPUTER … TRAUMA !!!!!! Yes, believe it or not, it does continue. Have I mentioned I’ll never buy another Hewlett Packard product again, ever?

So, watch below while I catch you up on all the haps on my car, my computer, my workouts (right, this still IS a fitness blog after all, right? LOL) which did help me get a few endorphins flowing which in turn did improve my mood… But, unfortunately, it didn’t bring the price of my car repair down!!

ha ha!!

Good health and fitness can’t fix EVERY one of life’s little problems, I guess (MOST… but not all) !

And in my usual smartypants style, I’ve found a song that’s relevant to the post … I mean this is only One Day In My Life right? And things always get better… eventually. So, here’s a GRRRREAT song by a local Vancouver band that’s been around forever and still selling out two nights in a row, every few months like clockwork at one of the larger popular dance/live act venues here in Vancouver called The Commodore (and most Canadian cities they play).

The band is 54.40 and if you’ve never heard of them, I’m not surprised… for some reason they never picked up in a huge way outside of Canada but man, you could do yourself a huge favour and check out more of their stuff, because they really are a fantastic group. I love this song of theirs for running, because the beat drives me forward and the lyrics are kinda inspirational to me. Enjoy the listen. Neil’s got a fantastic voice!!

(And, did you know that the Hootie and the Blowfish song called “I Go Blind” was originally a 54.40 song? Well, now you do!!)

And for pete’s sakes, help me help “local boys done good’ but buying their mp3 or album ok? They deserve it. Really. Would I lie to you? (answer: NO!!)

54-40 – One Day In Your Life

Just click on the Buy button on the widget to get the mp3 or surf around Amazon to get the album, or any of their albums (and there are many).

Have a great, fun and fit day, and we’ll see ya soon!

Hey everyone… how’s it going? Summer’s back in Vancouver and I’m racing to the beach for an unexpected hot sunny beach day!! Yippeeeeeee!!!

But, before I head out I thought I’d better catch you up on me a bit. Been super busy with a lot of computer work on a new venture I can’t wait to show you guys (soon… soon… very soon!!), as well as doing a whole bunch of training with clients, both offline here in Vancouver as well as online. If you’re new here and haven’t checked out that banner at the top of the page yet, I invite you to pop in there and check out what I’ve got on offer on my Online Fitness Coaching page! Would love to hear from you.

I’ve changed up my routine again and finally… its OFFICIAL!! I can now chest press my 35lb dumbbells!! Woo Hoo!!! It only took me months to be able to get those babies up 3 sets in a row, for all my reps!! I’m very proud of myself!

…and finally… what’s going on with my computer that’s never worked right since I bought it in April? Don’t get me started… but feel free to check out my latest diatribe below!!

Oh, and today’s Workout Song of the Day has been chosen in honour of the (damn) computer. The thing is Trash, and I want HP to replace it. Seriously. Do not ever buy an HP… you’ll regret it. I know I will never, ever buy another HP. Not so much because the computer is garbage but because while their service is fine… the guy is polite and trying to be helpful, although failing miserably), their PROBLEM RESOLUTION procedures suck like nobody’s business…

So, because the computer is Trash, here’s a SONG called “Trash”… its a great song for weight training OR cardio… it’s full of angst and has a great beat too… enjoy!!

THE WHIP – Trash

Don’t forget, if you love it you can buy it fast by clicking on the “Buy” button on the player widget above.

That’s it for today. Let’s keep our fingers crossed for just… one… more… beach… day… tomorrow!! eeeeeeee!!!! A girl can hope, can’t she??

See ya soon!
