A surefire way to upgrade your image from “recreation facility” to “health and wellness resource” is to move your facility into a hospital or hire doctors to work for you within your facility.

In addition to riding the elephant that farts, Brian and Clay get excellent Thai food and drink. Prior to this, we saw this season’s first product placement plug as Jeff handed his Visa to Brian.

Achieving new goals often requires learning new skills. You may need to learn some new skills and become proficient with them in order to reach your weight-loss goals. For example, you may need to improve the nutritional quality of your diet and eat fewer calories. This requires knowledge and skills in many areas: dietary balance, slowing eating, eating out, dealing with pressures from others to eat, etc. The casual weekend runner may set a new goal of participating in a local 10-kilometer run next summer. Many books and video tapes are available on this topic that will help the runner obtain the necessary skills to complete the run safely. A monthly running magazine could offer additional tips. Talking with runners who have competed in the past is another great way to develop the necessary skills for success.
