My company manufactures various home and industrial products. We build toolboxes, steel crates and storage devices, and other various products. We always order our industrial handles, wheels, metal stock bars, and other items through Reid Supply Company. They give us a fair price and their name and product speaks for itself. I really enjoy what I do and I can’t imagine ever leaving this job. I am sitting here at my desk on break typing this.

I hardly ever drink tap water if I can avoid it. I always buy bottled water or drink water from my filtered refrigerator water dispenser. It uses the Maytag UKF8001AXX water filter and I can really tell a huge difference between the water from my refrigerator, tap water and even bottled water. The taste is so much better and it doesn’t leave my mouth feeling dry shortly after I drink a glass of water. Sometimes I save bottles from the water I take to work and just refill them using the water from my water filter. If you haven’t ever used a water filter, I suggest trying one, even if you just add one to your kitchen sink. They make a huge difference.

I know that I talk about weight loss and things related to weight loss quite often, but right now it is one of the most important things in my life, aside from my family. My brother has always said that the weight loss products here in America don’t compare to some of them that you can order from other countries, but I am not really willing to risk ordering some diet pills from china or mexico and put them into my body without knowing what they really are. Right now I’m using P90X and eating healthy and it is giving me great results. I don’t know if I even need to take diet pills.

I’ve always wondered what the best fat burning exercise was. It seems like I have tried nearly every workout routine and nothing really gave me the results that I was expecting. 6 weeks ago I started using P90X and I am completely blown away by the results. I am still a little overweight, but I can tell a very significant difference in my appearance, stamina and muscle mass. The workouts aren’t really that crazy, either. You can do them at your own pace, as long as you keep your heart rate up and you actually push yourself and don’t give up the moment something starts to burn or become difficult. I wish I would have started using P90X a long time ago. Who knows what kind of shape I could be in today.

My uncle has suffered from rheumatoid arthritis for years. He had tried nearly all of the rheumatoid arthritis treatments available in stores and nothing really seemed to take away the pain. About a month ago he started taking Oxycollasyn and has had incredible results. He doesn’t have much joint pain anymore and he is so much happier. I can’t even imagine having to deal with pain everyday from the time you wake up to the time you go to sleep, and that’s what he was going through.. Hopefully the Oxycollasyn continues to work.

Every since I was a teenager I have tried to get rid of blackheads on and around my nose. Nothing seemed to work. I tried washing it every night with special “anti-oil” facial washing products, I tried using those pads that burn your face when you use them, I tried different creams and I even tried using those strips that you get wet and stick onto your nose for 5 minutes then peel them off, and nothing did the trick. Last week my sister told me about a product called Pronexin. It is supposed to clear up acne and kill blackheads within the first 72 hours of taking it. We’ll see if it lives up to the hype.

Over the past year or so, I have tried to start eating healthy and get my body into better shape. I’m still a few pounds overweight, but I do believe that I am getting healthier. My cholesterol is much lower than it was last year, and my blood pressure is perfect. I stopped smoking as well. I was talking to one of the guys at my office and he has been doing the same thing I have. He recommended that I try a colon cleanser. He said that it really makes a difference in your digestive health and that everyone should cleanse their colon about once a year. I might try it and see how it works.

Last month my company remodeled one of the offices in our building and turned it into a fitness / workout room. They installed 4 treadmills, 2 weight benches, 2 punching bags, 3 ellipticals and 2 flat screen LCD televisions. I didn’t think many people in my office would actually use the equipment, but it has been a big hit. I would say that about 60% of the employees go to the room on their lunch break now and everyone seems to love it. I guess it beats paying for a gym membership.

I am a bit of a survivalist. I believe in always being prepared (much like a boyscout), and I believe you should always store enough food and water to survive for at least 6 weeks, should anything devastating happen. I keep 2, 30 gallon stainless steel drums full of non-perishable food stored in my basement, along with 10 cases of bottled water, which I replace about every 6 months and a full family first aid kit. I also keep some non-perishable food and water in the trunk of my car, along with a first aid kit and some other items that one would need to survive, should the car break down in the middle of nowhere. If something bad should ever happen, I want to know that my family will remain safe and healthy.

About once a year I try and go through our house and replace all of the window blinds. They tend to start looking kind of rough and faded after a while and it really changes the looks of a room when you hang new, clean blinds. This year I have decided to replace all of the plain mini blinds with some nice natural wood blinds. I wont have to replace them for a long time, and I can just go over them with some furniture polish every once in a while to keep them looking nice. They’re a little more expensive than standard blinds, but they look so much nicer.
