If I were an elf, I’d make a machine,
the kind that would make you fit, trim and lean.
It would make you have legs – strong, steady and stable,
Is such a machine just a fairy tale fable?
Your arms would be strong, no flab to be found.
Able to carry two zillion thousands of pounds.
You’d run, jump and leap – like when you were a child.
Wouldn’t such a machine be pretty darn wild?
It wouldn’t have gears, motors, whistles, or rings
Cause’ the machine I would build needs none of those things.
The machine I’d create would be made up of levers
That lift HEAVY things – wouldn’t that be real clever?
That awesome machine would twist, bend and reach
And hundreds of skills this machine you could teach
And where might you ask can such a contraption be found?
Well open your eyes and look all around!
The machine which I’d build is already done
And possessed by you all – yes each – every one!
Though different in shape, there’s none designed shoddy
The machine I would build is your very own body!

The incomparable Helen Dutton of 8:30am Concord fame shared an article with me this morning that is definitely worth forwarding, and paying attention to!
It seems like eating a little fat and protein in the morning and keeping fat and calories low in the evening might actually be good for you! Who knew? 🙂
According to research at the University of Connecticut, those who ate eggs at breakfast ate 112 fewer calories at an all-you-can-eat lunch buffet three hours later than did those who ate a bagel for breakfast. Not only that, they consumed 400 fewer calories over the next 24 hours than did the bagel crunchers.
That is huge!
A pound of fat stores approximately 3500 calories of energy. The extra 400 calories would add up to a pound of fat every 9 days or so. Over the course of a year overeating 400 calories a day would add an extra 40 pounds on the backside (and other places).
I love eggs, but I know that is not the case for everybody. The point is to eat SOME sort of protein rich breakfast, and leave the bagels, donuts and boxed cereal alone. There is a commercial I saw the other day that says “Our cereal has as much protein as an egg”.
Well here’s an idea guys – Just Eat The Egg!
Make It Happen,
Dean
Thanks to all who participated and donated to the Arthritis Foundation 2010 Jingle Bell Run. Thanks to you all our team raised $1195 so far to help further research and treatment for this debilitating disease which affects so many.
As always it was a lot of fun getting out there in the crisp December air and getting some more exercise. I gotta tell you though, Chuck P. form the 6:30 class wore me OUT! That man is incredible! It was nice to meet and catch up with some folks that Nancy and I don’t see too often as we train different classes. It was great to see Jessica and meet her awesome mom Betty. Thanks to Mary and Joyce for bringing the “pooches”, and congrats to Joyce’s pup Colbi for winning best costume. Thanks to Terry, Dawn, Karyn, Kim, Robin for getting out with us as well. Coach CJ blazed the course with a time just over 19 minutes – not bad for a guy who has been focusing on distance events.
Hey Deb and Adam, I didn’t see you after the race. Who beat who? 🙂
Also thanks to Margaret and Patti from the Arthritis foundation for letting us lead the race warm-up and to all who participated.
If there is anyone I forget I apologize – old age ya know!
Here’s a few pics – enjoy!
We had 46 incredible bootcampers getting trained by your 3 favorite trainers 🙂 at our annual post-Thanksgiving “Keep the Pies off the Thighs” workout!
Thanks to everyone who made it out this morning, and I trust all our bootcamp family will have a great weekend!
Make It Happen!!!
Dean, Nancy, and CJ
I don’t know about y’all (a little southern lingo there) but I am looking forward to Thanksgiving this week. My son Tim is visiting with his wife Deb, Jeff his bringing his fiance Kimberley up from North Carolina, I am guessing the three younger ones won’t go anywhere, so it’s going to be a full house this week! I hope you take the time to enjoy family and friends and make some great memories!
Ok, enough of the sappy stuff, let’s get down to business!
How DO I keep those pies (and stuffing, gravy, sweet potatoes, cranberry, mashed potatoes, and dinner rolls) off my thighs anyway?
Well not stuffing your face is the best way (when it comes right down to it), but for some more practical tips, you’ll want to check out this article:
10 Holiday Diet Strategies To Save You From Stretchy Pants
I love all the “extras” at Thanksgiving, but don’t forget the star of the show, Roasted Turkey! We’ve put together some recipes to use those leftovers up, as well as some reasons you’ll want to eat this terrific protein source all year round.
How To Use Your Thanksgiving Turkey To Create Healthy, Fat Blasting Meals
I would be remiss if I didn’t include some holiday eating tips written by my dad. He doesn’t mess around when it comes to eating, so you might want to read what he has to say…
Here’s wishing you and yours a great week filled with joy and thanksgiving. From all of us at Get Fit NH Bootcamp, thank-YOU for letting us be part of your lives, and for being part of the elite few who Makes It Happen – Every Day!

Epsom-based fitness bootcamp Get Fit NH Bootcamp (GFNH) moved into an expanded training facility, located at 287 South Main St. on November 8, 2010. Get Fit NH Bootcamp helps busy people achieve the best shape of their lives at only a fraction of the cost of personal training. The program has been awarded the “Best Gym In Concord” by the Hippo Press, and owner and coach Dean Carlson has been awarded “Best Fitness Instructor in Concord” by the Hippo Press and Concord Insider. Classes are running in the state-of-the-art 4,700 square foot training facility on Mondays, Tuesday, Thursdays and Fridays at 5:00am, 6:30am, and 8:30am. Get Fit NH Bootcamp will be offering a free two-week tryout to interested residents in the greater Concord area.
To celebrate the opening, Get Fit NH Bootcamp will be hosting an open house at the new location on Saturday December 11, 2010 from 10:00am to 2:00pm. The open house will feature free chair massage from Chichester Massage, as well as the opportunity to talk with Get Fit NH Bootcamps allied health partners from Performance Health Sport and Spine Therapy, Whole Health Concord and Chiropractic Health Innovations. Get Fit NH Bootcamp is also grateful to be partnering with “Sally’s Hairem” to collect canned goods for our local food pantry. Everyone who brings in a canned good will be eligible to get a free cut the day of the open house. The first 50 people will also receive a special edition “Get Fit NH Bootcamp” t-shirt, and the fun, food and prizes don’t stop there!
Get Fit NH Bootcamp currently offers classes in Epsom as well as the new South Main St. Concord location. Many GFNH clients take advantage of the flexibility offered with 8 total class times per day in the two locations to fit training into a busy schedule. Get Fit NH Bootcamp Concord’s expanded facility will allow more classes to be added in the near future. “We are grateful to all our clients for choosing to train with us” remarked Carlson “We look forward to expanding our class times and helping more Concord residents get healthy and fit”.
To activate your free two-week tryout, email getfitnh@gmail.com or call 603-344-2651 to reserve your spot, as space is limited. For more information you can visit their website at www.GetFitNHBootcamp.com
Here’s some photos of Day 1 in our new Concord, NH training facility. Concord’s Best (Hippo Press, Concord Monitor) has been preparing the new space for several months and today was the day! Thank-you all for being part of Making It Happen!

UPDATE November 10 @ 8:30am – Greta Is Home!
From Natalie: “GRETA IS HOME!!!! We arrived back to our house this morning after taking Josh to school and she came flying around from the back of the house like a shot! She is soaking wet, so very skinny and looking a little freaked out, but seems OK. Thank you EVERYONE for your eyes and your prayers and your willingness to keep forwarding this story. You’re prayers got her home and kept us sane (sorta!!!) over these last four days. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!!!!!!“
Get Fit NH Bootcamp client (and our friend) Natalie Walker asked us to reach as many people as possible, so we are posting the following from her as well as sending out an email. There are a couple of pictures of Greta at the end of this post. You can also click this link to download and print out a poster to distribute. Please forward to everyone you know.
Our female German Shepherd bolted from my son yesterday at 07:30 when he was out in our backyard with her. We have spent an exhaustive two days searching for her on foot and by car and have posted almost 200 flyers in town and neighboring towns. I am now hitting the internet and have her listed everywhere. We live in the village of Hopkinton, close enough to I-89 and 202/9 to make it possible that she was picked up by someone or spotted by people traveling this area. I didn’t know if you would be willing to send out this flyer to those you know. Again, if this is uncomfortable for you, I understand! Not offended! Just trying every thing I can think of to blanket this area of the state with her info.
