Download or read book Cranky Fitness Exercise Your Ass Off written by Jan Graham and published by Hyperink Inc. This book was released on 2012-11-19 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are you looking for an upbeat, enthusiastic fitness book offering inspirational advice about exercise and explaining just how easy, fun, and rewarding it is to get fit? That's unfortunate! Because you won't find any of that stuff here. Based on the blog Cranky Fitness, this ebook offers realistic, practical advice on how to get fit, lean, and fierce. It also includes obscenities, whining, opinionated tirades, and advice that could either be extremely useful or could result in an untimely death. Bonus: there are bullet points and photos that break up solid blocks of text quite nicely so that you can make your way through it quickly! You might accidentally learn a few things whether you meant to or not. Cranky Fitness: Exercise Your Ass Off is not for everyone. There are words that have several syllables, research studies that have numbers in them, and exercise tips that require more than ten minutes and don't even guarantee instant flat abs or buns of titanium. The book was written for people who know that getting fit is crucial for health, both physical and mental, yet who are also aware that sometimes virtuous pursuits require effort, creativity, patience, and cursing. This ebook includes advice on getting fit, some specifics about various activities you might want to pursue, a bit of motivation and inspiration, and a few advanced tweaks and tips. It is the first in a series of ebooks that promises to be every bit as weird as this first installment. Only for the few, the proud, the brave, and the cranky.

Download or read book Moody Bitches written by Julie Holland and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2015-03-03 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A groundbreaking guide for women of all ages that shows their natural moodiness is a strength, not a weakness As women, we learn from an early age that our moods are a problem, an annoyance to be stuffed away. But our bodies are wiser than we imagine. Moods are a finely tuned feedback system that allows us to be more empathic, intuitive, and aware of our own capabilities. If we deny our emotionality, we deny the breadth of our talents. Yet millions of American women are medicating away their emotions with psychiatric drugs whose effects are more far-reaching than most of us realize. And even if we don’t pop a pill, women everywhere are numbing their emotions with food, alcohol, and a host of addictive behaviors that deny the wisdom of our bodies and keep us from addressing the real issues we face. Psychiatrist Julie Holland knows there is a better way. In Moody Bitches, she shares insider information about the drugs we’re being offered and the direct link between food and mood, and she offers practical advice on sex, exercise, and sleep strategies, as well as some surprisingly effective natural therapies. In the tradition of Our Bodies, Our Selves, this groundbreaking guide will forge a much needed new path in women’s health—and offer women invaluable information on how to live better, and be more balanced, at every stage of life.

Download or read book The Angry Therapist written by John Kim and published by Parallax Press. This book was released on 2017-04-18 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tackling relationships, career, and family issues, John Kim, LMFT, thinks of himself as a life-styledesigner, not a therapist. His radical new approach, that he sometimes calls “self-help in a shot glass” is easy, real, and to the point. He helps people make changes to their lives so that personal growth happens organically, just by living. Let’s face it, therapy is a luxury. Few of us have the time or money to devote to going to an office every week. With anecdotes illustrating principles in action (in relatable and sometimes irreverent fashion) and stand-alone practices and exercises, Kim gives readers the tools and directions to focus on what's right with them instead of what's wrong. When John Kim was going through the end of a relationship, he began blogging as The Angry Therapist, documenting his personal journey post-divorce. Traditional therapists avoid transparency, but Kim preferred the language of "me too" as opposed to "you should." He blogged about his own shortcomings, revelations, views on relationships, and the world. He spoke a different therapeutic language —open, raw, and at times subversive — and people responded. The Angry Therapist blog, that inspired this book, has been featured in The Atlantic Monthly and on NPR.
Download or read book Fire Up Your Metabolism written by Lyssie Lakatos and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2004-02-03 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I can't loose weight because I have a terrible metabolism" You may not realize it, but you can take control of your metabolism. Identical twins and registered dietitians, Lyssie Lakatos and Tammy Lakatos Shames embarked on a twin study to determine precisely what does -- and doesn't -- increase the rate at which our bodies burn calories and fat. Their findings? Small changes have big results. The nine weight-loss principles -- and the 200 tips that help you incorporate them into your lifestyle -- in Fire Up Your Metabolism are surprisingly simple: Eat breakfast before you get to work. Learn which sugary snacks trump others (peanut M&Ms boost metabolism, but Twizzlers don't). Drink water, which is essential to burning calories. Always eat dinner, even if it's late. Focus on muscle building, not cardiovascular workouts. With Fire Up Your Metabolism, you won't have to avoid restaurants or follow a diet (though one is included if you like regimentation). The fatigue and distracting hunger that derail most dieters won't affect you because revving your metabolism is all about eating. You will enjoy breads and other carbohydrates. You will boost your metabolism with power proteins, including hamburgers, and avoid other proteins that bog you down. You will indulge in snacks you thought a dieter could never touch. Lyssie and Tammy's clients have experienced not only dramatic weight loss but also the thrill of having more energy than ever before. Now you, too, can rewire your metabolism to lose weight fast and forever.
Download or read book Annual Review of Nursing Research Volume 34 written by and published by Springer Publishing Company. This book was released on 2015-12-20 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This groundbreaking annual review has provided over three decades of knowledge, insight, and research on topics critical to the field of nursing. The 34th volume presents abundant new research devoted to examining and forwarding the field of modern ethics in nursing. It reflects the rapid acceleration of change in the roles and responsibilities of nurses and the concurrent need for reexamination of professional ethical values. Articles focus on creating nurses who are able to negotiate, adapt, and provide excellent care to patients as they take on greater administrative duties, rely more on technology, and assume some of the roles and responsibilities of physicians. Chapters are comprised of carefully selected articles that underscore the importance of in-depth ethical education and professional character development in the nursing classroom, and its continued evolution as nurses adapt to a changing health care environment throughout their careers. They include examples of contemporary health care dilemmas and how nurses have used ethical values to guide their behavior in situations where they encounter highly vulnerable patients; address ethical problems relating to family issues such as self-neglect and the wellbeing of children in military families; and systems-of-care issues regarding genetics, smart home technologies for older adults, interprofessional collaboration, and post-deployment reintegration. Key Topics: Nursing Ethics: A Lifelong Commitment Ethical Analysis of Family Impact of Mental Health Stigma Ethical Issues in Family Care Ethical Considerations in Self-Neglect The Effects of Parental Service on the Wellbeing of our Youngest Military Members Ethics of Genetics in Primary Care Ethics of Smart Home Technologies for Older Adults Post-Deployment Reintegration: The Ethics of Embodied Personal Presence and the Formation of Military Meaning Ethical Issues Encountered by Military Nurses
