Adventures in living a healthy, juicy life
by Cheryl Ragsdale
You know how you’re bumping along looking for something – sometimes you don’t even really know what – and then you find it?
That just happened.
I’ve been experiencing some physical changes as I’m getting older – hot flashes and some unexpected tiredness. It occurred to me that my normal way of doing things might need to be adjusted. I went over to eatsmartagesmart to see what advice I might find on my friend Krizia’s site.
Precision Nutrition
I saw a banner for an ad I’d seen before – Precision Nutrition. I clicked it.
I realized that I had already signed up back in December (almost 4 months ago). I put in my info and up popped articles and blog posts and a forum! What happened?! I don’t remember seeing all of that FREE information!
That’s because 4 months ago, I wasn’t having hot flashes. They just started last month. I’m lucky not to have had them before now. Google must know I’m having hot flushes because I’m suddenly seeing ads for a product called Amberen. It’s supposed to help with hot flashes. How does Google know that I’d be interested in that product? Probably because I did a search. We have no privacy anymore. I laugh when those ads follow me to other people’s sites.
Flashes or flushes? I feel more flushed than flashed.
Anyway, I digress.
Georges St Pierre UFC Welterweight Champion
Because I didn’t know my password, I pulled up some old Precision Nutrition newsletters to see if I could find it. Up popped one about nutrition and pregnancy. Ordinarily, I wouldn’t have bothered reading that – that topic doesn’t pertain to me.
…and UFC Fighters
I scanned it and noticed something completely unexpected at the bottom listed under “Events”.
UFC 111: St-Pierre vs Hardy
Newark, New Jersey
March 27, 2010
Notes: At this event, I’ll be supporting friend and PN athlete,
Georges St-Pierre.Until next time,
JB
__
Georges St. Pierre? Who is this JB? And even more intriguing – GSP follows Precision Nutrition? And GSP is friends with this guy, JB? Whoever he is, he must know something. Georges St. Pierre has to cut weight – and remain strong and healthy – before his UFC battles.
From my point of view, whatever it is that JB – Dr. John Berardi – knows about nutrition must be special otherwise Georges wouldn’t be paying attention. At 170lbs, Georges St. Pierre is the current UFC Welterweight Champion of the World.
The notice that JB posted on his newsletter was an announcement regarding Georges’ most recent UFC title defense against Englishman, Dan Hardy, UFC 111.
When Worlds Collide
I love it when my worlds collide. As my loyal readers already know, I’m a huge mixed martial arts fan. I practice martial arts several times a week at Florian Martial Arts Center owned by UFC fighter, Kenny Florian and his brother, UFC Trainer, Keith Florian.
This video is a virtual tour of our school. We call it FloMAC.
You can see a BJJ lesson, me and my classmates doing jiu jitsu drills and then me and the fellas modeling our Florian gear (yes, the rash guards and sweatshirts are available for sale).
Renee Willis, Precision Nutrition Community Moderator
Not only that, as I paged through my emails from Precision Nutrition, I noticed someone else’s name popping up frequently – Renee Willis! Renee wrote a very popular guest post for ThatGirlisFunny that’s had over 4,000 views.

My Plan to Stay Forever Young
OK – I don’t have any notions of becoming a body builder or ever having the need to “cut weight” for any kind of tournament or athletic endeavor. But, I am interested in maintaining my weight and my ability to train for two hours at a time several times a week with men who are heavier than me.
Stay tuned to keep up with my adventures on my voyage of discovery with the Precision Nutrition System!

This reminds me that I need to focus on my health. I’ve been spending too much time in front of the computer and lounging around, and I’m afraid it’s going to catch up with me. I’ll start today and take a long walk around our area.

Hello Julius,
I’m delighted to have moved you away from the computer. Planning to walk will make it happen. Sometimes it’s hard to pull away from projects that we’re doing on line. But there’s more to life than that. Walking is also conducive to thinking great thoughts. Enjoy!
