New theme, new colour scheme and favicon…

Marta — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 21:47:48 +0000

It is a third day of re – design of the website. After looking around I couldn’t find any theme that would suit my needs. So I thought, hey, I’m fairly inteligent person, surely there is nothing difficult in web design? Could I be more wrong? I thought having favicon is cool. So I made one.

But it didn’t show up. surprise, surprise.

I have checked tag lines, validate it (and CSS as well, I’m down to 2 mistakes) and everything seems to be fine. Superb.

Tiny detail – it doesn’t actually show up in my browser. I give up for today. I’ll check on different browser at work if it is there.

What do tou think about new logo? I tried to convey two different meanings with my colors – white and green – fresh and moder, healthy lifestyle. And chocolate because i am addicted and I am not ashamed to admit it. Here you have it – loud and clear: website about helathy stuff is also about guilty, chocolatey pleasures.

But than, what’s the point of being healthy and living a long life without chocolate in it?

So, please bare with me for the moment. and broken links, and other weird stuff.

I’m trying my best,, but it is still work in progress.

(I’m using it as a excuse to put diet on hold as well. I’ll tell you more about it, as soon as I figure out how to add post in my new fancy category-tag system.

Jump Start Plan: week 1

Marta — Thu, 01 May 2008 22:43:37 +0000

The purpose of the course is to put the odds in your favour. When it comes to losing weight and keeping it off, we all know it’s a gambling.
We always promise ourselves that’s the last chocolate, last slice of pizza… and we come back for more lured by casino-like sparkling, clever marketing.
This plan is devised to cleverly uncover all of the disguised tactics of food industry and make us immune to it. It means, we will no longer be controlled by food. We will choose what we really want and need.
The first week is about introducing quick, easy methods to deliver instantly visible results and long haul benefits. The second week will keep the momentum going and gradually increase your fitness level. But it will never going to be more than 30 min a day, even for the Fast-Lane plan! The Busy Bee Mode will only require 5 min bursts, to ensure everybody can actually commit to it.
It might sound very scientific at first, but really if you start with 5 min and increase it only by 5 min a day – sky is your limit! The health experts proved that the small changes are giving far better results, as we are more likely to stick to them.
Lets face it – we are all lazy creatures. And it is easier to do our special 10 min workout at home than drive to gym for an hour of cardio. When we think about gym commitment It is easier on a rainy day do just cuddle on a sofa and there it goes our fitness regime.
But our effective workout takes only as much as commercial brake – so no excuses now.
Off you go!
Day 1
Workout: 10 minutes of walking with a jump rope.
Diet : No to refined sugar or artificial sweeteners
Yes to proteins and calcium
Treatments: Peeling in the shower.

2008 New Year’s Resolution in May

Marta — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 22:51:35 +0000

So, it is nearly May. 5^th month in the year is about to start. 4 months gone, like it never happened. Why does it matter? Well, if you anything like me you have promised yourself that you going to change your life in 2008. Get better job, get healthier, slim down a little.

And what happened?

Hmm.

Not much.

But, don’t worry. You are not alone. You didn’t stick to your New Year’s resolutions? Me neither. And about 90% of population.

I cannot do much in a job department but when it comes to ‘get healthier, slimmer, sexier’ part –I got a challenge for you.

I challenge you to join my new, enhanced ‘THIS TIME FOR REAL’ plan.

How does it work?

It consists of 6 weeks long courses with easy to swallow 7 day chunks. Each week is ‘themed’ around a special area of interest - be it energy boost, slimmer thighs, glowing skin, reducing cellulite – you name it, we got it.

Each day belongs to a section: Workout, Diet, Treatment. Each day we focus on one thing – but a week addresses issue as a whole.

This way, you are staying motivated. It only takes 7 days to achieve your goal! Than 6 weeks add up on average to a 10 pound weight loss – easily!

The first 6 weeks course start on a 1^st of May. It is aimed at the total beginners so everybody is invited.

Walk yourself slim!

Marta — Sat, 26 Apr 2008 21:16:23 +0000

Walking is the easiest of the exercises. From the ground zero (ehm, sofa) to the countryside leads a slow, relaxing path. It’s enough if you start with a 5 min a day. Surely, you can walk for 5 min? So where is a trick? The next day you add 5 min. And you add 5 min every other day, until you reach 1 hr a day. And the bast part – it doesn’t have to be performed at once. 5 min in the morning counts, and 5 min walking instead of driving to the nearest shop adds up. Walk up the stairs at work and so on. 5 min here and there and you will have your hour of exercises in no time. Most of the time – you will not even notice! So write a note in your journal each time you take a walk. Little tip: draw some stars next to the date in your diary for every 5 min walking. It’s quick, easy and unobtrusive.
