Improving Your Golf Score

To quickly lower the scores you post I suggest that you first improve your thinking, both as you practice as well as when you play.

Improve your thinking in your practice by getting a better concept of what it is you want the body to do as you hit the ball. Improve your play by practicing the scoring shots from 50 yards in as you simultaneously train your body to hit these easy swinging shots more perfectly.

Improve your thinking on the golf course by being realistic in planning your shot so that every shot you play is easily within your capabilities. Perhaps this means not hitting a driver where there is even a small chance of having it get you in the kind of trouble that you could not easily get out of. Perhaps dropping down to a fairway wood could still get you into the same trouble? In that case why not hit the club that you are absolutely, positively sure that will not get you into trouble. Why not use the same thought pattern on your approach shots, play safe predictable shots and lower your scores by thinking in a chess player manner.

You may be surprised to find that 2 5 irons will get you to within 50 yards of most par 4s and perhaps on to the greens of the shorter ones. If you study my ezine articles on the short game and use the short game actions to program your full swing you may be surprised to find how good you can get from 50 yards in.

Perhaps laying up short of the green and chipping on when you would have to hit the ball very well to stay clear of a lake or a menacing bunker. If you chip and pitch as well as I want you to you will still have a good chance of getting a par or even a birdie.

Thinking is the key to this game, improve your thinking and you will improve your play.

Weight Loss Motivation - What Do You Do When You Can't Get Past A Weight Loss Plateau?

What do you do if you have tried everything and can't seem to lose any more? You have hit a weight loss plateau and it can seem IMPOSSIBLE to get past.

Weight loss motivation is a BIG problem especially if you have a lot of weight to lose. The answer to a weight loss plateau is never easy but there are some things you can try to kick-start your weight loss plan.

This is part 4 of our 8 part series exploring the 7 most crippling problems faced by people trying to stick to a weight loss plan and offer the solutions that allowed me to break free of the weight loss plateau.

Hitting a weight loss plateau is quite normal, in fact in your weight loss journey it is almost a certainty that at some stage you will come to a point where you don't seem to lose anymore pounds but you are still overweight.

Your body has simply become used to your current weight loss plan and is maintaining the weight rather than continuing to lose it.

Before you change what you are doing you need to ensure that you are doing all the "right things" when it comes to your weight loss plan. These include:

  • Eating small meals frequently (5-6 small meals per day)
  • Performing regular aerobic exercise (for burning calories) and regular weight training exercise (for growing those all important fat burning muscles)
  • Keeping your calorie intake to 15-20% lower than your normal calorie intake required to maintain your current weight
If you are doing all these things consistently then it is time to try something a little different to kick-start your body into burning fat once again. There is no one solution that will work for everybody as we are all individuals but what follows is some suggestions to get you started.

Weight Loss Plateau - Emergency Help Plan:

  • Maybe you are "over doing" your exercise regime. Overdoing exercise may not be giving your muscles time to grow as each exercise session causes tiny tears in your muscles which your body repairs and builds stronger for next time. This is how we build muscle. If we are not allowing our body rest time to grow our muscles we are not increasing our muscle mass significantly.
HINT: Try including a day or 2 of rest in between each exercise session to allow your muscles to recover.

  • "Break the Cycle" of your current calorie intake by increasing your calories slightly for a few days then decrease them. For example if you currently eat 1500 calories per day in order to lose weight, try eating 1800-1900 calories for 2-3 days then drop this back to say 1100-1200 calories for another 2-3 days then return to your normal 1500 calories.
IMPORTANT: Eating 400 extra calories doesn't mean 400 extra calories of fatty foods or snacks. Eat 400 more calories of the same type of foods you have been eating on your current diet. Try slightly larger portions of your existing meals or add an extra small meal to your day.

  • Try fiddling with your percentage of carbohydrates such as reducing them from say 50% of your intake to 40% or try consuming more proteins in your diet. Keep records and see if you notice any positive changes.
  • If you think your problem may be to do with fluid retention then make sure you are drinking at least 2 litres of water per day and eating lots of water rich foods.
These strategies will not fix EVERY weight loss plateau as the problem is complex but they are a good place to start. If you are really stuck even after trying all these strategies don't let your weight loss motivation fall to the point of giving up. Try a professional such as a dietician who can monitor you closely and design a weight loss plan specific to your needs.

Just can't stick to it? Here's a boost to your weight loss motivation

Many people find it very difficult to adjust to smaller meals and feeling hungry all the time. I would often "break out" and eat snacks when I shouldn't and I just couldn't achieve my weight loss goals no matter how hard I tried.

I would constantly be annoyed at myself for "breaking" my diet.

When the US discovered the media hype surrounding the Hoodia cactus after media coverage on ABC and CBS news, thousands of people decided to give this option a try and it has proved to be a breakthrough for those who had tried a diet or weight loss supplement in the past and it just didn't really work.

Eating the hoodia cactus has the effect of fooling your brain into thinking you are full. It has suppressed the appetite and thirst of the Bushmen of the Kalahari Desert in South Africa for hundreds of years.

Be Careful! A warning when purchasing hoodia:

Hoodia supplements of all kinds are now available. There are options from pills to liquids, patches, and even coffees, teas, shakes and fruit bars! The demand for hoodia at the moment is much higher than the supply available. You need to be careful which retailer you purchase from as only properly certified manufacturers can obtain authentic hoodia.

The South African government has placed limits on the amount of Hoodia that can be exported from their country in order to prevent over harvesting. Hoodia plantations are currently growing plants to meet the demand but the Hoodia is difficult to grow and takes around 5-7 years to reach maturity.

Until then Hoodia is a quite rare. Many manufacturers wanting to ride the wave of hoodia popularity have resorted to making fake hoodia products or supplements with so little authentic hoodia in them that the effects would be insignificant.

How to avoid the scammers:

There are lots of options available for Hoodia products. Although there are plenty of fakes, the good news is there are a handful of reputable products that are worth your time and your dollar!

Unless you plan on losing your money rather than your pounds there are 3 things you absolutely must AVOID when purchasing Hoodia supplements! These clues on a manufacturers website will help you to identify the scammers and which products to stay away from.

What Can A Rinnai Tankless Water Heater Offer You?

We all know of individuals jumping at the wave of tankless water heaters hitting the market. If you are contemplating such an upgrade for your own home, then you want to take your time and explore the different tankless water heater options available to you. They are one of the hottest items for home improvement on the market right now. A leading manufacturer in the market of tankless water heaters is Rinnai. They have a great reputation with consumers and offer a fair price. The result is many consumers choosing to upgrade from their old water heater to a Rinnai tankless water heater system.

Consumers are impressed with the concept of having an unlimited supply of hot water any time they want it. They also love the idea of how much money they will save each month on energy costs. A standard Rinnai tankless water heater can provide more hot water per hour than six standard hot water heaters with tanks. That is very impressive; especially considering this is only the standard tankless water heater unit that Rinnai offers.

This particular tankless water heater system is very efficient and offers you on demand hot water. You wont have to pay to heat the water continuously. Instead the water is only heated as you need it. This is a great feature that is encouraging people to switch from a tank water heater to a Rinnai tankless water heater system. You will always have enough hot water at the perfect temperature.

The only drawback of a Rinnai tankless water heater is that is it more expensive than a standard tank water heater. However, when you look at the long term savings, you will be paying about 60% less each month for your energy costs once you install a tankless water heater system. Keeping that in mind, the savings will more than pay for the cost of purchasing a Rinnai tankless water heater in about a year or less. The time frame will depend on the amount of hot water consumed on a regular basis in your household.

You can also find more information at bosch tankless and tankless water heaters. eTanklessHotWaterHeater.com is a comprehensive resource for tankless water heater with information on reviews, installation and how it works.
