How Does Fitness Make Medical Weight Loss Patients Feel?

How does fitness make you feel during weight loss with an OPTIFAST weight loss program in Naperville?If you?re like any average person who at some point or another decided it?s time to lose weight and get in shape, you probably threw a dart at a giant list of popular diet fads currently on the market and wrote down a plan to begin exercising. Though your efforts at first appear valiant, in time you lose hope and become discouraged with the lack of results and lack of motivation to continue through with the diet and fitness routine. However, now that you?ve finally made the right choice to engage in a weight loss program in Naperville, following a healthy diet is taken care of with the help of OPTIFAST products, but daily fitness remains a challenge to be conquered.

Many people who begin a new fitness routine do so either because they want to get back into shape for personal reasons or because a doctor has told them it?s necessary for their health. For some, impending health complications are just enough to spark the fire to better their bodies.

Unfortunately, others end up putting a halt to their new healthy fitness routine as they aren?t able to recognize the health benefits that exercise delivers, like stronger bones, reduced cholesterol and blood pressure. Beginning a new fitness routine solely on the promise of such imperceptible health effects often leads to disappointment, excuses and eventually a complete end to fitness altogether.

So what keeps those who exercise on daily basis motivated and inspired to work out each day?

Researchers believe that to answer this question, scientists must study the individuals who absolutely love physical exercise. Determining what makes the committed exerciser tick and if improvements to overall health play a role in their inspiration might help with persuading more people to exercise. Even with the lack of investigative studies on true fitness lovers, many experts believe their motivation lies with sheer pleasure or the numerous benefits exercise delivers, like boost in mood, boost in energy and reduction of the feelings of restlessness that develop without exercise.

Experts also believe that biological traits play a major role in both the choice to be active and the outcomes of being active. This means that craving physical exercise and not being able to eat, sleep or breathe without it may have more to do with genetics than an interest in improving existing health issues. Many scientists and physicians (people who know and understand the medical science of fitness) who are avid exercisers will attest to the fact that they were never motivated to exercise by the thought of improving health factors.

How can medical weight loss patients find inner motivation to stay on track with their fitness goals?

Perhaps the answer for some is to not solely see physical activity as a means to improve certain aspects of your health, but instead to focus on how physical activity makes you feel. It?s inevitable that your heath is likely to improve as you lose more weight and become more in shape, but letting these aspects be your only motivation for engaging in fitness may leave you feeling tired, bored or even unconvinced.

Take some time to truly think about how physical exercise makes you feel before, during and after your workout. Do you feel generally happier, healthier or more energized and motivated? All of these feelings brought on by the act of physical activity may be the key to staying motivated and inspired to move for the rest of your life.

Yes, fitness will improve your health and help you stay in shape, but sometimes, you may find more joy in realizing how good exercising makes you feel in general?and isn?t just feeling good the best and maybe only motivation you need?

'Columbine' author Dave Cullen examines the Aurora tragedy

'Columbine' author Dave Cullen on how best to understand the Aurora shootings and the lessons that such catastrophes have taught us.

By Randy Dotinga / July 26, 2012

Author Dave Cullen, who wrote the definitive book on the Columbine tragedy, discovered last week that a friend's brother was injured in the Aurora shooting.

Thankfully, mass murders are rare in the United States. But the ripples of these horrors can extend for thousands of miles and dozens of years.

Consider how two journalists ? both experts on killing sprees ? found themselves connected to other mass tragedies by pure chance within just the past few years.

This week, I interviewed author Arnie Bernstein, who uncovered the hidden history of a Michigan town devastated by a 1927 school bombing. Four years ago, he told me, Bernstein found himself comforting a student who had just lost two friends to a gunman at Northern Illinois University.

And then there's Dave Cullen, a journalist who wrote 2009's "Columbine," the definitive book about the killings there. A few days ago, he discovered that a friend's brother was one of the people injured last week in Aurora, Colo. The brother, fortunately, is recovering well.

I myself can remember being a teenager and sitting at home in a San Diego suburb on a July afternoon in 1984, watching the unfolding news about a nearby shooting spree. I desperately worried that my mother, who was out, might have gone to that McDonald's, just a few miles away in San Ysidro, for a bite. (She hadn't.)

Years later, I'd have another distant connection to a similar tragedy. A newspaper co-worker of mine would get a job in Denver and suffer emotional scars from the wrenching task of covering the Columbine attacks.

Cullen, who helps journalists recover from the trauma of reporting on tragedy, wrote a commentary for the New York Times last Sunday about the importance of not rushing to conclusions about the Aurora gunman: "Resist the temptation to extrapolate details prematurely into a whole."

I called Cullen to ask him about how we can best understand the horror in Aurora, what we can learn from Columbine and where we can find hope amid the senseless.??
?
Q: The perpetrators of these acts often seem to want to become famous. Is the media wrong to give them the very publicity they may crave?

HTC One X+ Rumored To Launch On T-Mobile Come September

one-xEarly last week, a screenshot of an internal T-Mobile document revealed the existence of a device perplexingly called the "HTC Era 42," which promptly caused some T-Mobile fans to drool uncontrollably. Some speculated that it would be the latest in T-Mobile's G-series of Android devices and would sport a physical keyboard because of HTC's track record with the carrier, but now TmoNews is calling it slightly differently. Instead of a brand new, keyboard-toting handset, editor David Beren has managed to confirm "with a small level of certainty" that the device is actually a tweaked version of the HTC One X called the One X+.

Alleged hacking victims include dead teen, actors

LONDON (AP) ? On Tuesday, British prosecutors announced charges against eight people alleged to have been involved in a phone hacking scheme with more than 600 targets. The following are some prominent alleged victims:

Amanda "Milly" Dowler

The 13-year-old girl was abducted on March 21, 2002, in a case that drew national attention. She was found murdered on Sept. 18, 2002.

Journalists from the Sunday tabloid News of the World were alleged to have hacked her mobile phone, listened to her voicemail messages, and deleted some of them in order to make room for more. The deletions ? which may have happened automatically ? gave investigators and Dowler's family hope that she was still alive.

An exhaustive investigation did not uncover any proof that the News of the World deleted Milly's voicemails, but the case remains the most emotive example of tabloid intrusion. The claims led Rupert Murdoch to close the newspaper and prompted a renewed police investigation which produced the latest criminal charges.

The Dowler family settled its lawsuit against the publisher for 3 million pounds ($4.7 million), including a 1 million-pound payment to a charity of their choice.

Paul McCartney

In 2006, the former Beatle ? still one of the world's most popular musicians ? was engaged in an acrimonious split from his second wife, Heather Mills. The criminal charges relate to the period shortly after they announced their separation in May of that year.

Heather Mills

She is also described as a target of a conspiracy to intercept communications. Mills has accused CNN interviewer Piers Morgan, who has not been charged in the current case, of accessing a message which McCartney left on her phone in 2001 when Morgan was a newspaper editor in London.

Angelina Jolie

The charges relate to the period between the actress's adoption of an Ethiopian infant, named Zahara Marley, in July 2005, and the birth of Shiloh Nouvel, her child by Brad Pitt, on May 27, 2006.

Brad Pitt

The actor is listed as an alleged victim in the same period as Jolie. The two are considered Hollywood royalty and are frequently followed by paparazzi.

Jude Law

The film star won a settlement of 130,000 pounds in January in his civil suit alleging that News Group Newspapers hacked his telephone. The charge relates to the period between July 2005, when Law publicly apologized to his fianc?, actress Sienna Miller, for having an affair with a nanny, and May 2006. Law and Miller separated in November 2005.

Sadie Frost

The designer and actress settled a suit against News Group Newspapers in January for 50,000 pounds. That case related to articles in the News of the World in 2003. She alleged that information hacked from her phone, which subsequently appeared in newspapers, contributed to the breakdown of her marriage to Jude Law, with whom she had three children.

The criminal charges list her as an alleged hacking victim between July 2005 and May 2006 when Law's engagement to Sienna Miller broke down.

Sienna Miller

The actress won 100,000 pounds in May 2011 from the News of the World. The newspaper also admitted in court that private information published about the actress in 2005 and 2006 should not have been printed.

Wayne Rooney

The Manchester United soccer star filed a civil suit in May claiming damages for phone hacking.

Rooney is listed in the criminal case as an alleged hacking victim between Jan. 17 and Aug. 1, 2006. Also listed as a possible victim is Patricia Tierney, who filed an unsuccessful libel suit against The Sun newspaper for reporting in 2004 that she was a prostitute who worked at a Liverpool brothel allegedly frequented by Rooney. Her suit was thrown out when it was revealed that she had admitted to police that she was a sex worker.

Sven-Goran Eriksson

The former manager of England's national soccer team is listed as an alleged victim along with personal assistant Faria Alam, with whom he had an affair.

Lord Frederick Windsor

The clue to the tabloid interest is in the last name ? he's part of the reigning House of Windsor, the son of the queen's cousin, the Duke of Kent. The criminal charge relates to a period in 2006.

John Prescott

The former deputy prime minister is named as a victim along with Tracey Temple, a government secretary with whom he had an affair. The charges relate to a two-month period beginning in April 2006, when the Daily Mirror newspaper ? not involved in the criminal case ? revealed the liaison.

Prescott was identified as a possible hacking victim in 2006 when police seized property from private investigator Glenn Mulcaire, who was convicted in an unrelated case and served a prison sentence. Prescott says police didn't tell him about it until 2011. Mulcaire faces new criminal charges announced Tuesday.

Prescott's former chief of staff, Joan Hammell, won 40,000 pounds to settle her civil suit on phone hacking. She is also identified as an alleged victim in the criminal case.

David Blunkett

Blunkett held two Cabinet posts in Tony Blair's Labour governments. Between January 2004 and July 2006, the period covered by the criminal charge, he resigned as home secretary, was brought back to the Cabinet and then resigned as work and pensions secretary.

The first resignation was forced by the discovery that he had fast-tracked a visa application for a nanny employed by Kimberly Quinn, a married woman with whom Blunkett carried on a three-year affair. She was also named as a possible hacking victim.

Last year, Blunkett reportedly received a confidential settlement of his claim that News of the World hacked his phone.

Families of theater shooting victims plan goodbyes

(AP Photo/Denver Post, RJ Sangosti, Pool)

(AP) ? Their first look at a dazed-looking James Holmes with wildly dyed red hair stunned and angered some of the people he is accused of shooting and the kin of those killed that night in a Colorado movie theater.

"A coward," said Tom Teves, whose son, Alex, was one of 12 people Holmes is accused of killing. Tom Teves stared at Holmes throughout the former graduate student's first court appearance on Monday.

"Somebody had to be in the courtroom to say, 'You know what? You went in with ballistic protection and guns, and you shot a 6-year-old,'" he said.

Another 58 people were wounded when authorities say Holmes opened fire at a midnight showing of "The Dark Knight Rises" in Aurora. Seven remained in critical condition Tuesday.

"He doesn't look surprised at any of it, but he seemed amazed at what was happening," said Robert Blache, who watched video of Holmes with his injured daughter Christina, who was shot in both legs. "I'm pretty sure he's not sane."

Holmes is being held on suspicion of first-degree murder, and he could face additional counts of aggravated assault and weapons violations. He will be formally charged on Monday, and prosecutors say they may seek the death penalty.

David Sanchez said that would be appropriate if Holmes is convicted. His 21-year-old daughter, Katie Medley, escaped without injury and delivered a son Tuesday at the same hospital where her husband, Caleb, 23, was in critical condition with a head wound.

"When it's your own daughter and she escaped death by mere seconds, I want to say it makes you angry," Sanchez said.

Allie Young, 19, was shot in the neck, damaging her carotid artery and knocking her into an aisle of the theater. Her friend, Stephanie Davies, said she applied pressure to the wound and also managed to call 911.

"We were laying there in the mouth of hell ? there's smoke and explosions and guns, bats flying across the screen because the movie's still playing. It's dark. It's every child's worst nightmare," said Davies, 21, a native of Hemet, Calif.

Both said the gunman shouted at several people before shooting them.

"He would shout, 'What are you doing? I said stand up!' And he would pick people up," Davies said. "I saw him stand over someone. I just see hair and him holding the shirt, and 'boom."

Now the families of the dead are left to plan funerals.

A service for A.J. Boik, an 18-year-old high school graduate, was set for Friday in Aurora. The family has asked that news media stay away from the service.

A full military funeral and burial was planned Aug. 3 in Reno, Nev., for Jonathan Blunk, 26, who served three tours in the Middle East and planned to re-enlist with the goal of becoming a Navy SEAL.

Holmes' prosecution is likely to be a long road. Police expect months of working with behavioral analysts and scrutinizing Holmes' relationships to establish a motive. A trial might begin in a year or more, said prosecutor Carol Chambers.

Dr. Jeffrey Gardere, an assistant professor of behavioral medicine at Touro College of Osteopathic Medicine, said Holmes' appearance suggested "a psychotic process going on, and we see that being acted out there.

"Or, there might be some sort of malingering going on. In other words, trying to make himself look worse than he actually is. Or maybe a combination of all of those things," Gardere said.

In San Diego, where Holmes' family lives, family attorney Lisa Damiani said that "everyone's concerned" about the possibility of the death penalty. When asked if they stood by Holmes, Damiani said, "Yes, they do. He's their son."

In June, Holmes quit a 35-student Ph.D. program in neuroscience for reasons that aren't clear. He had earlier taken an intense oral exam that marks the end of the first year, but University of Colorado Denver officials would not say if he passed, citing privacy concerns.

University officials have refused to answer questions about Holmes.

The judge has issued an order barring lawyers in the case from publicly commenting on matters including evidence, whether a plea deal is in the works or results of any examination or test.
