The challenge of golf

My friends invited me on a 4 day golf vacation and at my skill level I was not sure that it would be much fun to play some of the best courses on the East Coast. I accepted the challenge and committed to hitting the driving range to hone my skills. I was given a huge driver called the “Big Big Bang” This is a monster driver that has a unique sound to it when you hit it. I must admit that the clubs do make the man. This driver helped me to have more confidence in my drives and made my trip much more enjoyable. I am now looking go back to Hilton Head and playing some great golf. Searching early for great golf packages can be a key to saving some money and getting on some of the nicer courses.

The Patriots are set to make history

This year the New England Patriots will make history as they finish the season undefeated and then win the Super Bowl. I do not mean disrespect to the Giants fans but the Patriots have too many weapons and will win by a touchdown. The game will be close until the fourth quarter when Randy Moss will take over and start to show his speed and height to create the separation. For many of us we will crowd into a neighbors house who has the biggest screen TV and bring our favorite snacks. For many this year they will be purchasing their first HDTV to add to their home theater system. The great thing is that as more people install HDTV and theater systems there are more discount home theater seating packages that become available so that the weekend quarterback can impress their friends for the big game. So grab your favorite beverage and sit back and watch history.

Breakfast the most important meal of the day

More people who are trying to loose weight will usually skip breakfast and then go through lunch on a smaller portion for their lunch. What people are forgetting is that breakfast is very important meal and can actually help you to maintain your metabolism that is needed to help burn those calories. Plus you will have more energy through out the morning and day and need to rely less on caffeine, and other snacks along the way.

One great breakfast that is high in protein and low in carbs is the traditional bacon and eggs meal. Now I know most of you are saying but all that grease cannot be good for you . If you cook like my parents did in an iron skillet then maybe you are taking on added fat that can be avoided. This is where the microwave bacon cooker which is the only “totally enclosed unit” to be known on the market today. We received one a few days ago and it is so simple and easy to use. Because of the way bacon strips are separated from the grease you drain all the extra grease away and you are left with crisp bacon. It is super easy to clean and you avoid the grease splatters that can be a huge hassle to clean up. You can even use this before you go off to work since it is self contained and the mess is minimal.  So don’t skip breakfast and do what your mother has always told you and don’t skip your breakfast.

Exercise for your health

Going to the gym is a goal of many people this year as the New Year begins. Working out does not have to be a hard task if you have the right attitude and good support. Find activities that you enjoy doing and then make an exercise routine out of that. I am not particularly fond of running for the sake of running. I love to play soccer and basketball so I joined a men’s indoor league and try and play basketball at least a few times a month at the open gym. I do fit in some strength training, but it all fits in nicely to my other routines.

Finding the right wedding ring

When looking for wedding rings there are many things to consider which include the style, the setting, and the cost. A great site that we just were asked to review provides the clarity and simplicity for anyone to find the right information and price on how to choose the best diamond. They have a great section that I would advise any would be diamond shopper to read called the 4 C’s. They are clarity, cut, carat, and color. When looking at the cut this will help determine the setting that you will eventually end up with. We have settled on the princess cut that will be set in a platinum setting. The clarity of the diamond is what allows the light to come through the diamond. All diamonds will have flaws and it is ultimately the placement of the flaw that will have the biggest impact on the clarity. You can sometimes see these as small dark flecks in the diamond and will become more visible if the diamond is dirty.
