Who is Dolvett Quince?



A couple of weeks ago the people at the Biggest Loser announced that Dolvett Quince would be joining Anna Kournikova and Bob Harper on the the Biggest Loser this season as one of the new trainers. I had to ask myself who is Dolvett Quince? So I looked around.

Who is Dolvett Quince?

Well Dolvett is a trainer with a personal fitness gym in Atlanta Georgia and after looking around a bit (I love Google) I was able to figure out that he is in fact a very popular person in the Atlanta social scene. Also Dolvett Quince is also the creator of  Me and My Chair – a workout video that is based completely around strengthening and toning your body using nothing but a chair.

Dolvett is only the 7th trainer in the hostory of the Biggest Loser so what can we expect from him? In interviews so far Dolvett has said that he will be tough but fair. We can take this to mean I would expect that he will be less intense than Jillian Michaels was but at the same time a very imposing guy in the gym. Being from a personal training 1 on 1 background we should expect him to understand the emotions going through people as they lose a lot of weight.

“I think in the process of training you develop your muscles and challenge yourself. Those endorphins are being built in your body and that can bring about a lot of emotion and people tend to vent,” he explained.

“During the training process you’ll see a lot of tears, some laughing, even some anger. It’s my job to be there for that person, not only as a trainer but as a friend in a lot of ways.”

Quince added: “That is why it is personal training. You want to be personal with that individual and make sure you are there for them and help them progress and get through those things.”

When do we Get to Meet Dolvett Quince?

Biggest Loser is Back soon. The new season of Biggest Loser is starting just next week on September 20th on NBC with new trainer Anna Kournikova, Dolvett Quince, and Bob Harper. Then we finally get a real answer to who is Dolvett Quince?

Are You Burned Out?



Burnout is the term used for a state of exhaustion; mentally, physically, and emotionally. Who gets burnout? It can be young mothers or busy volunteers who try to be everything to everyone with no time left over for themselves. It can be employees who are doing the work of many with no end in sight or an employer who has a lot of pressure to show results. It can be you. Take a look at these possible symptoms to see if you might be suffering from burnout:

Apathy in all areas of life.
Unsociable – unwillingness to socialize with others. Withdrawn.
Chronically fatigued or exhausted.
Poor sleep patterns or insomnia.
Weight gain or weight loss.
Possible depression.
Anger.
Low tolerance for others’ comments or behavior. Irritable and on edge. Overreact.
Physical symptoms – headaches, other aches and pains, constantly sick.
Forgotten how to have fun.
High level of criticism of self.
Self medicating with food, alcohol, or drugs.
Feelings of powerlessness and low self image.
Do things out of sense of commitment, but begrudgingly.
Mood swings.
Anxiety.

If you recognize many of these symptoms of burnout, don’t brush them aside. It’s time for you to take positive steps to stop the burnout. If you don’t, you may continue on with further physical or mental problems. There is no quick fix to relieve burnout, but there are steps you can take that will slowly guide you to a healthier, happier life.

First off, you need to explore what is causing your burnout and address the source. Options then are to get away from the stress, minimize the number of occurrences or the degree of stress, or learn how to change your attitude towards the stress. Think of some positive triggers that sound pleasing to you:

* Take a vacation to distance yourself from the stress and to relax.
* If your job is a bad fit or you’re to the point of feeling physically sick when you think about your job, you need to take positive action towards finding a new one. Don’t make excuses about the downturn of the economy, company layoffs, not qualified, etc., take action anyway.
* Start saying “no” to others who demand more of your time than you are willing to give. There should be no guilt because if you don’t take care of yourself first, there will eventually be nothing left for you to give.
* Learn to routinely treat yourself to relaxation, even if you don’t want to or feel too busy. Pick what works for you – a bubble bath, a good book, an all time favorite movie.
* Rediscover a passion. Once upon a time you liked to do ______________. Start doing it again, even in small doses.
* Seek help from a counselor, medical doctor, or mental health professional.

Burnout can happen when you’re overcommitted and overworked. If you’ve taken a look at the list of possible symptoms above and feel like you have burnout, take steps now to get back on track and love life again.

How to Handle Quit Smoking Withdrawal Symptoms


The thing that most people dread about quitting smoking is the withdrawal. The side effects of quit smoking withdrawals are different for each person, but they can be very uncomfortable and disruptive. In fact, the symptoms can be so painful and annoying that people will often lose their resolve and go back to smoking, even though they know perfectly well how dangerous their bad habit is.

However, there are ways to make the quit smoking withdrawals easier to cope with. You don’t have to struggle with the withdrawal side effects on your own. Before you quit smoking, it’s helpful to know what symptoms to expect and why your body reacts in this way. Most importantly, you must realize that the symptoms are short-lived and there are many treatments available to ease the discomfort you may feel.

Some of the most common withdrawal symptoms include cravings, restlessness, headaches, and dizziness. Feelings of anxiety, depression, irritability, and anger are possible. You may have trouble concentrating and feel very fatigued. You might also experience constipation, weight gain, and other physical symptoms.

If you happen to have any of these side effects, keep in mind that they will only last a short time. There are ways to treat the quit smoking withdrawals so that the discomfort is less intense. If you can just tolerate the withdrawal symptoms for a little while, you will succeed in quitting smoking and you will be a happy non-smoker for the rest of your life.

The longer you are able to go without a cigarette, the more likely you will stay smoke-free forever. You will find that the withdrawal symptoms usually strike within the first 48 hours of quitting and can last for anywhere from two days to a week. If you can tough it out for the first week after quitting, you will find it fairly easy to continue to stay away from smoking. But if the withdrawal symptoms defeat you and you succumb to the urge to smoke, you will have to go through the entire quitting and withdrawal process again.

The trick to getting through the quit smoking withdrawals is to know what symptoms to expect and to find ways to deal with those symptoms. It’s not a bad idea to talk to your doctor about treatments. He or she may be able to prescribe a medication that will relieve your unpleasant symptoms.

How to Handle Quit Smoking Withdrawal Symptoms

So what if it is really that easy? What if all your beliefs about how hard it is going to be to quit are completely false? What if, after just one session of hypnotherapy or NLP you find it incredibly easy to become and remain a happy, confident non-smoker for life? The reason why hypnotherapy NLP are so successful is because both our beliefs about smoking and our habitual smoking behaviours reside within your unconscious mind. So whilst consciously we may wish to quit, all too often our all powerful unconscious mind simply would not let us.

Check out Quit Smoking Today now.

When you’re trying to stop smoking, don’t be afraid to ask for support from others if you need it. Most of all be sure to have a plan in place to deal with quit smoking withdrawals. Then you are likely to succeed in breaking the smoking habit.
