Arriving in Oregon
Interview w/ Dave Fuller on “Health First” by telephone in BC Mon, Jan 26
We enjoyed doing a keynote for this Medical Society in Orgeon Thursday night in Salem. We felt well taken care of last night. We had a fantastic dinner and heard some very committed physicians meet and greet with each other and discuss their year ahead.
It was a long journey to get here. I was in my office 8-8pm Wednesday, came home to workout in our home gym and pack. Kary had just as much of a long day with the kids and getting ready.
Hitting the sack at midnight and hearing our alarm go off at 5am was a challenge. But there is no feeling like you are going to speak with people and make a difference in their lives.
“A life in lived in the service of others makes it worth living” ~ Albert Einstein 1879-1955
The limo came at 6am and we were off to the airport for 6:30am. Our flight left at 8am. Arriving in Vancouver after a 5 hour flight with our two youngest children ( 2 1/2 and 6 months), was a blast. It is amazing you can have fun when many people say, “How can you be smiling when you travel with young children?” Well, if you bring a DVD player with Wiggles DVD’s, healthy snacks, and a flexible aittude, anything is possible.
Fit to Lead was the title of our keynote. We shared our insights and perspectives on how living an active lifestyle can make you more productive in every area of your life.
Next week, Tuesday evening we leave for Boston, Mass to speak at a huge conference for health professionals. They are expecting 35,000 from across North America.
~ Uche Odiatu from Salem Oregon Friday, January 23rd, 2009
An Oregon Medical Society invited us to do a keynote at their annual conference January 22nd in Salem, Oregon. Thursday Jan 22nd, we left Toronto at 8am to fly to Portland via Vancouver.
What do you pack for two days when you travel with young children? Email us and we will tell you what we pack for air travel with kids. Please share what you do, as we love to read emails from people who are interested in moving forward.
Making time to read and learn about health and wellness is time well invested.
“The Learners shall inherit the earth, while the learned (people who know it all) will be perfectly equipped to take care of the world the way it was yesterday.” ~Eric Hoffer
Each day we find ways to get inspired and be motivated

Oprah’s war on weight?
Fighting anything creates a resistance force. Carl Jung reported that, “What you resist will persist.”
A battle of the bulge just like the war on drugs just creates an even stronger resistance. Look at some numbers: in 1980 there were 300,000 in US prisons, now the prison population is 2.4 million (from Eckhart Tolle’s The New Earth). The number of overweight people (67% in the USA and 59% in Canada) are growing so quickly, experts are predicting that 95% or more of us will be overweight by 2030.
The war on fat puts all your energy on the problem. In the business world, smart managers tell people to focus only 10% of their time on the problem and 90% of your time, effort and energy on the solution.
It has been said, that we need to watch carefully our THOUGHTS as they become our ACTIONS. Be conscious of your ACTIONS as they become your HABITS. Be aware of your HABITS as they become your DEEDS - over time they form your CHARACTER. And in turn your CHARACTER creates your DESTINY
Healthy regards
Uche and Kary
We enjoy being able to chat with people and answer their health and fitness questions. There’s no feeling like knowing that what you have been studying, living, and working on has value to people. It appears that most people are reaching out for clarity in this puzzling sea of information overload.
