Lady Trainers To Go - Personal Trainers

Lady Trainers To Go did a wonderful job at pairing me up with my Plano personal trainer. She is a perfect match for my personality! I love the fact that my trainer constantly challenges me to push harder each workout. By doing so, I am getting stronger, seeing faster results and feeling more confident. Overall, I am also feeling better and enjoying this new-found energy. Having more energy definitely helps me focus better and get more accomplished throughout the day.

My Plano personal trainer is also very encouraging. She’s always telling me that I can do more-and she’s right! Her encouraging techniques motivate me in ways I never thought possible. Before I can protest, I find myself actually doing it. With her encouragement I’m getting more than physical strength, I’m also getting emotional and mental strength. So, not only do I feel better about myself as a person, I feel excited about the pounds and inches that keep melting away!

I also love how my trainer mixes things up in our sessions. From Pilates, to yoga, to strength training, and much more, I never know what to expect. Instead of feeling bored, I find myself looking forward to our exercise time. If you’re like me, and don’t have the motivation to get in shape alone, I recommend working out with a Plano personal trainer from Lady Trainers To Go. It’s a great way to get the support and encouragement you need, and it will definitely help you make things happen!

Key Items that Should Be on Your Spring Clean-out Checklist

 Water Gardening projects of any type benefit from advanced preparation. Regardless of the type of project, having all the necessary supplies on hand before you get started always makes it go faster. Realizing it’s a good time to fertilize the water lilies after your pond has been drained, and running to the store for lily tabs tends to slow down the spring clean-out process, turning a half-day job into an all-day chore.

      Planning ahead a little means you can spend less time working on your pond,

and more time enjoying it! 

De-chlorinator – If you are on city water, you’ll need to de-chlorinate the newly filled pond before you put the fish back in.

High Pressure Sprayer – Use a pressure nozzle on your garden hose or a pressure sprayer to dislodge debris and algae from the rocks.

New Filter Mats – Filter mats should be replaced every three years or so. If you think it might be time, be prepared ahead of time by purchasing replacements prior to your pond clean-out.

Expanding Foam – Expanding foam may need a bit of a touch up in some areas. Be prepared with a can of it just in case.

Rubber Gloves and Boots – Spring clean-outs can be cold, wet, and messy. Arming yourself with boots and gloves will go a long way toward making this chore much less unpleasant.

Pump and Discharge Pipe – To drain the water out of the pond, you’ll need a pump and some discharge pipe. It’s ok to use your pond pump, but even better if you have an extra pump to lessen the wear and tear on your pond pump. About 2000 gallons per hour, depending on the size of your pond, will do the trick.

Fish Net – Before you drain your pond, you’ll need to catch and relocate your fish. A good quality net means doing this without injuring your fish during the catch.

Net to Cover Fish Container – Fish, especially large koi, jump, and they may very well jump right out of the container that you’ve set up for them. Be sure to cover it with a net that is pulled taught across the top to prevent them from jumping.

Pruners – Part of a spring clean-out is pruning back dead plant material from the previous season. Make sure you have a good pair of pruners or scissors to get the job done.

Plastic Rake – Rake the leaves right out of you pond with a children’s garden rake.

The plastic eliminates the chance of tearing the liner and the small size makes it easier to maneuver in tight spots than an adult sized rake.

Lily Tabs – Take advantage of the water-free accessibility of water lilies, lotus, and other plants that may need to be fertilized. Have a container of lily tabs on hand when you’re doing your pond clean-out.

Container for Plant Debris – Grab an old plastic plant pot or bucket so you can easily dispose of any debris that you gather from the pond bottom.

Planting Pots – A spring clean-out is a good time to thin and divide plants that have grown out of bounds or crowded a pot. Make sure you have some aquatic plant pots handy so you can re-pot and share your new plants with other water gardeners.

Extra Gravel – After the freeze and thaw of winter, you’ll inevitably find rocks and gravel that have shifted, exposing bare liner. With an extra bag or two of gravel, you can cover exposed liner in a jiffy.

All-mobile ski snowboard & ski resort guide sno.mobi puts the whole resort in your pocket!

We don't take laptops with us on a skiing holiday & hardly ever get to an internet cafe... but everyone carries their cell phone with them, everywhere, all the time - even when skiing on the mountain!

 

Now you can find whatever you want in your ski resort, right there in your pocket

 

Free mobile ski, snowboard, snow forecast & ski resort guide www.sno.mobi is the first complete ski resort guide to the world’s top winter resorts, which works on ALL cell phones (not just smart phones) with ski resort info & ratings, Snow Forecast & Piste Conditions, Events, après-ski Bars, Restaurants, Taxi, Childcare, Catered ski chalet Accommodation, self catered apartments & hotels, Airport Transfers, Shops, Ski Rental & ski Lessons, Ski Holiday Deals, Webcams, Indoor Activities, Mountain Guides and much more... all with Free with Maps, Directions & Email... & it all works on ALL mobile phones!

 

it works as normal on a PC – but sno.mobi is designed especially to be viewed on your mobile phone, when in your ski resort

 

Find your way around your ski resort with free navigation on ALL phones - each business shows map & you can save your ski chalet or apartment address, to get navigation directions around town and home to your accommodation too (no GPS phone needed!)

Stay in touch on your ski holiday with free email you can use on any mobile phone & PC (no smartphone or PDA needed!) - even from the ski slopes!

 

Entire site is completely free to view - they don't charge a penny (and they make sure your network can’t fleece you too... read on)

 

Fast & avoids big data bills - text-based design makes data size of each page tiny – mobile data is much cheaper these days but you still don’t want to be viewing the huge pages designed for a PC screen, especially when “roaming” abroad on a skiing holiday.  Usually your phone downloads the whole PC page & squashes it to fit, meaning you download a lot of data for each page you view (especially on ski website which have lots of huge pictures).  sno.mobi pages are mainly text to minimise data size, plus they resize all pictures for your phone – snoProblem!

 

To try it out, go to www.sno.mobi on your phone and simply Choose your Ski Resort (eg Chamonix) and there it is, the whole ski resort in your pocket!  You can also use it on your PC, as there’s an on-screen phone that works just like a real one (again, simply Choose your Ski Resort).

 

Skiers & snowboarders prefer to support LOCAL business, rather than big chains, when on a winter holiday

 

When starting their business, sno.mobi did a bit of ski/board research and they found that, just like us, most snow lovers would prefer to support LOCAL business – to help keep mountain resorts the buzzing places we all love to visit.  sno.mobi is designed to make it easy for us to do exactly that – we approve!

 

You can try sno.mobi out on your mobile or via your PC web browser with their on-screen phone – they also have local domains like www.chamonix.mobi and www.les3vallees.mobi which go straight to that ski resort’s homepage, but you can find any ski resort from the main sno.mobi homepage

 

If you have a business in a ski resort or service, ski accommodation like self-catered apartments or fully catered chalets, après-ski events, property for sale, ski jobs vacant, skiing holiday deals or last-minute ski offers, go to www.sno.mobi & click “Get Listed” - everyone can find you, even if they don't have a computer!  Most ski websites charge one or two hundred euros/dollars per year to list your business (and they only have PC pages, not mobile) but sno.mobi has decided to make theirs an ethical business, where all ski businesses can afford to Get Listed, so they’ve kept the price down to just €25 or $33 per year – it’s not just a marketing claim when they say they’re helping us to support local business!

 

Foreget iPhone apps that only give you snow forecast etc – iPhones account for less than 2% of mobile phone sales – sno.mobi works on ALL cell phones (even your twenty bucks no-contract phone) and their weather/snow/piste info is just a tiny part of this huge mobile website – we love it and wish them every success!  Help them like we are, by adding a link to www.sno.mobi to your own website or blog – it’s not often that a business tries to do the right thing, let’s help them make it work!

Fabulous Dallas Personal Trainer

My Dallas personal trainer has literally helped me regain control of my life. Before I had signed up at Lady Trainers To Go, I had taken about a year and half off from working out. I had exercised fairly regularly in the past, but managed to fall off the wagon. Getting back on a regular workout schedule was something I just couldn’t do by myself.

 

So, I came to Lady Trainers To Go and found a wonderful Dallas personal trainer who has been working with me. She is exactly what I wanted in a trainer. She knew that I had gotten off track, but didn’t reprimand me. Instead, she showed assertiveness in a empathetic way. She’s been very supportive and patient with me.

 

I also appreciate her constant encouragement and creativity. She keeps my workout sessions full of variety, which keeps me from getting bored. My  personal trainer in Dallas also challenges me so I keep getting results. I have gotten so much stronger and I just love it. Having extra strength and energy helps me sleep better and function better throughout the day.

 

I get so much more accomplished than I used to. I don’t know why I got off track in the first place, but now that I have a Dallas personal trainer, it won’t ever happen again. I am so happy I found Lady Trainers To Go. My experience has been absolutely wonderful and I am never going to leave! Thank you so much for helping me get back on track.

Where to buy concert tickets from

I recently bought tickets from QualityPlusTickets, the Canadian company. These guys are excellent at what they do. I highly recommend them. Their site is different from all the others I've seen before; first, it's bi-lingual and second, it’s a safe place to shop - in both languages.

You see, my wife is French, so she went into the french site at BilletQualite, and bought a pair of tickets. All transactions were straightforward just as they were for me on the English website. The agents at the office are true Montrealers! They are smooth, courteous and very "happy"! By the way, she got me Cirque du Soleil OVO Tickets !

Their Head Office is in Montreal so I could pick up my Concert Tickets the same day. But I saw they also offered fast FEDEX shipping worldwide. A friend in Toronto bought his Metallica Tickets at Quality Plus Tickets and said payment was effortless. They accept all major Credit Cards and get this; you can even pay with PayPal!

Check them out: QualityPlusTickets.com. They have a remarkable design and their search engine absolutely rocks.

Happy Shopping!

Great Plano Personal Trainer

I am leaving this testimonial in regards to my Plano personal trainer who is awesome. She really keeps me focused and encourages me to constantly challenge myself. I love how she supports my efforts to change and gives me all of the tools I need to achieve my goals. I could not do it without her.

It’s refreshing being able to workout privately and conveniently in my own home, with a female Plano personal trainer. Having a female trainer really does make a huge difference when you’re trying to get in shape. Who else can truly empathize with you than another woman? This is why I think a lady trainer is more effective than a male trainer. He can get you in shape, but he doesn’t quite understand how a woman’s body works.

Personally, I feel like my personal trainer in Plano is just as much a friend as she is a trainer, which makes working out so much more enjoyable for me. It’s the best thing I have done, maybe ever. Lady Trainers To Go has done a great job of keeping up with me and keeping me focused…everyone has. It has been a perfect experience that I would recommend to anyone considering personal training. The punctuality is bar none and my trainer is caring and is easy to relate to and is perfect for me. I think that one of the things you do very well is to match trainers with people (clients). Thank you so much for helping me achieve my fitness goals.

Heads Up Against Alienation: A Divorced Dad Guide

There never should be a declaration of war between exes. The do not get the brunt of the lost battle; the children do. Enmity between two divorced couples starts at the break up of the marriage and ends up with the destruction of either parent in the child’s eyes.

Alienation Defined

To fully understand what alienation means, let us try do define it as experts do. Alienation is a phenomenon becomes severely loyal to the parent and seeks to delineate the other. These events usually happen in extremely volatile divorces. In intense cases the child will refuse to see, talk or to have anything to do with the alienated parent. There arises a rooted anger with no apparent reason. The child then will actively help the other parent to hurt, demean and be little the other party.

It is critical that you report any such aforementioned events to an unbiased person such as a social worker. They have professional experience and can provide intervention if they deem it necessary. 

The Inner Running of A Child’s Mind

No matter how you put it, a child is often sympathetic with the mother. If the child is allowed to see the mother shed tears then the mom will harvest pity and thereby first implant the unintentional seed of alienation.

The tendency to become alienated depends on your child’s personality. However, a kid is still a kid. There glasses are still half full. They can fully rationalize events. Particularly those that appear confusing and hurting to them. The reason for the alienation comes from within the family system itself prior to the divorce. Factors such as sibling system, the extended family’s attitude, both parents towards each other and towards the kid all have an impact on the upcoming incidents after divorce.

Recognizing The Danger

If your wife gets primary custody you have to be on the look out should your ex alienate your kid or kids against you. If you notice your child’s sudden unreasonable anger or hatred then there could be something there. Children have the tendency to reflect the animosity the alienating parent projects. If your kid refuses or makes excuses not to visit then you have to put this in a s a symptom. Sheer hatred and utter destruction is the target of a severely alienated child, other signs will immediately be noticeable. If so take action as soon as possible.

Can Someone Help?

Although alienators, and their kids do not have the fear of repercussion from a legal sense, family court can help you. The first thing you have to do is to observe the child’s behavior and pinpoint the problem attitude. Intervene as early as possible. Beware of the other party’s attorney.

Do not allow delayed tactics to be used against you. Request the courts that the alienating parent be ordered into therapy even before the settlement of the visitation or custody rights. Request that the court be stringent by making a Guardian Ad Litem check whether your ex wife complies with the court order. Lastly, if the child is severely abhorrent to you as his or her father then ask that the kid be placed in therapy also. 

As a divorced dad it is essential that you prevent alienation, and try to avoid doing so. It not only benefits the children but both the ex couple as well.
