Water VS Coke

Found this and had to share! Water VS Coke is no joke!!!!

WATER
1. 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated.

2. In 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak that it is often mistaken for hunger.

3. Even MILD dehydration will slow down one’s metabolism as much as 30%.

4. One glass of water will shut down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of the dieters studied in a University of Washington study.

5. Lack of water, the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue.

6. Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of water a day could significantly ease back and joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers.

7. A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing on the computer screen or on a printed page.

8. Drinking 5 glasses of water daily decreases the risk of colon cancer by 45%, plus it can slash the risk of breast cancer by 79%, and one is 50% less likely to develop bladder cancer.

And now for the properties of COKE

1. In many states (in the USA) the highway patrol carries two gallons of Coke in the truck to remove blood from the highway after a car accident.

2. You can put a T-bone steak in a bowl of coke and it will be gone in two days.

3. To clean a toilet: Pour a can of Coca-Cola into the toilet bowl and let the “real thing” sit for one hour, then flush clean. The citric acid in Coke removes stains from vitreous china.

4. To remove rust spots from chrome car bumpers: Rub the bumper with a rumpled-up piece of aluminum foil dipped in Coca-Cola.

5. To clean corrosion from car battery terminals: Pour a can of Coca-Cola over the terminals to bubble away the corrosion.

6. To loosen a rusted bolt: Applying a cloth soaked in Coca-Cola to the rusted bolt for several minutes.

7. To bake a moist ham: Empty a can of Coca-Cola into the baking pan, wrap the ham in aluminum foil, and bake. Thirty minutes before the ham is finished, remove the foil, allowing the drippings to mix with the Coke for a sumptuous brown gravy.

8. To remove grease from clothes: Empty a can of coke into a load of greasy clothes, add detergent, and run through a regular cycle. The Coca-Cola will help loosen grease stains. It will also clean road haze from your windshield.

For Your Info
1. The active ingredient in Coke is phosphoric acid. Its pH is 2.8. It will dissolve a nail in about 4 days. Phosphoric acid also leaches calcium from bones and is a major contributor to the rising increase in osteoporosis.

2. To carry Coca-Cola syrup (the concentrate) the commercial truck must use the Hazardous material place cards reserved for Highly corrosive materials.

3. The distributors of coke have been using it to clean the engines of their trucks for about 20 years!

Now the question is, would you like a glass of water or coke?

Goals!

It starts with you and you have to make a goal. Now do not pick a number. Body fat versus muscle will leave the scales making you more depressed. Trust me! So how do we make fat cutting goals? Well here is my idea, you make them something you can see and not a NUMBER. Pick three goals to lead to your dream body example:
1. Rock skinny jeans
2. Wear a mini skirt
3. Buy a yellow bikini
You can see these goals in the mirror which will be of much more benefit to you than the scale! Keep you head, heels, and goals high!

Focusing on YOUR dreams

For starters… why don’t we get FOCUSED on what it is we really want. I think much of what we *think* we want, we actually more feel like we NEED.

Yet this can be scary, how can we realistically chase after not only our weight loss dreams but also our far fetched Cinderelle meets MVP of the world series kinda dreams? 

And yet ladies, we truly believe that we can AND SHOULD be attaining the unattainable. And not just in one area of our lives. but everywhere. And when the inevitable other shoe drops, we make it mean that we’re a failure, because “LOOK at how well everyone else is able to do it all!!!” Psssst….I’ll share with you a secret–they aren’t.

My 3-part solution:

1. Give yourself the win in the places you are kicking butt. Are you an awesome mom? Wife? Partner? Friend? Are you a savvy businesswoman with a rockin’ career? Do you have an eye for fashion? This is about ACKNOWLEDGING where you are awesome and then internalizing gratitude for that. Feel the power of you when it comes to these things. You’re incredible…in the exact places you focus your energy. (High five!)
2. FOCUS on a SINGLE thing you want to be incredible at. Get focused on 1-2 things max. I think we all tend to juggle 14 things at one time and this can be dangerous because then we are not giving those things the attention they deserve. Have 2 goals, meet them, celebrate, move forward. We CAN do everything we ever dreamed of just maybe not all at one time. 
3. Focus on the things you can control. We can not fix the fact that if you stare at cake you gain 4 pounds and your BFF can eat 7 pizzas and be a stick. What we CAN do is figure out what works for our bodies, our goals, and our lives. If we compare ourselves to others then we are comparing ourselves to what we think others are doing. You can not control what everyone else does but you can control what YOU do and how you react in any given situation. 

With all my love,

Dear Diary,

We all know that losing weight is tough work BUT I bet you didn't know that people who keep a food diary lose 2 times more than those trying to do it on their own? Yep it's true! I keep a food diary but more recently switched to a virtual diary on my iPhone called "My fitness Pal". It's a great way to log your calories, know what your eating, and even follow your friends to have that extra accountability. So get to logging and watch those pounds shed this year!
Love always,

How to make 2013 your GREATEST year ever!

I always love the new year. A fresh start mixed with the anxiety of the unknown makes January one of my favorite months. For those of you who know me well, you know I have big dreams, big resolutions, and goals that to most seem impossible. This goes beyond fitting into your skinny jeans or making your ex kick himself, this goes into how you can be the BEST YOU this year. So here is how I think YOU can make 2013 a success with any goal:
1) TAKE ACTION
The first step toward any goal is movement. Only you can make the difference in your own life and it starts by taking the first step. I am a planner and an analyzer so I spend too much time thinking and planning instead of doing. Why? Because each of us is afraid of failure but you can't fail unless you try. Ask yourself what is the worst thing that could happen? Most the time the journey you gain along the way to a goal is much more than any failure you can endure.
2)DREAM BIG
I spent too much of my young life saying, “Why me? Who am I to do x, y, z?” and not only did it get me nowhere, it continued to subtly affirmed that I had nothing to offer. Every single person has unique expertise, experiences and knowledge that make them 100% unique in the world. Every single person has something to contribute. Every single person can teach something. So, instead ask “Why NOT you?” And then simply try and see what happens.
3)KEEP LEARNING
If you have a goal you've set for 2013 than you need to do research to learn everything there is to accomplish that goal. Is it running a 5k or becoming Miss America you can never be overly educated on what you are trying to accomplish.
 4) LAUGH
I spend much of my day laughing because I plan on it. I record The Ellen Show everyday because I know it will make me laugh or I text one of my best friends because it puts a smile on my face. Laughing can lower blood pressure, relax muscles in the entire body, reduce stress hormones, burns calories, and improves alertness as well as memory.  
5)SERVE OTHERS
We all want to be successful and have dreams but sometimes we need others to help us along the way. Each of us has something to bring to the table and I know I would not be the person I am or have the success I do without others who have helped me along the way. Nothing is more important than people. OK that's my list to help us all have a great 2013! Love always, Keli K. "Believe you can and you WILL"

5 Tips to Make YOUR Early Morning Workout

Many people do their workout first thing in the morning but why? IS there a point or can we just hit snooze and move on with our lives? The truth of the matter is yes there is a point, when we just wake up it has often times been several hours since we have eaten so your body is in a fasted state. Therefore, when you wake up and hit the gym you are not simply burning the food you just consumed but rather the FAT you are trying to burn. So we burn more fat in the mornings! Now that we have that settled if your like me than you would much rather sleep in and hit snooze well here are my top 5 tips to getting out of bed! 

1. Decided the night before. You make the choice before bed to determine if you will or will not get up in the morning. If you start to make not going not an option then you will be up and ready to start making this lifestyle a habit. 

2. Have your clothes laid out with your shoes and sock sitting right by them. This saves time and brain energy. 

3. Put your alarm on an annoyingly loud tone and across the room this will get you out of bed and moving. 

4. Drink a big glass of ice water to help wake you up. 

5. Have it planned as to what you will eat when you get home. This allows you to think "if I hit the gym then I can come back and eat _________". Obviously make it a healthy choice.

 I

ts really that simple! So make your plan, be prepared, and set that alarm clock for the body you have always dreamt of! 

Love always
