Hello all!
After all my talk, I finally got here to put up the rules and regs for the t-shirt design contest! I have been wanting to do this for a long time, since I started my videos as a matter of fact. I just don't have the skills or time to sit down and make up a design! So, I humbly ask my viewers to help me!
First of all, if you have never seen the show, you should go see them so you can get an idea of what I am like. That should help you get a start. Second, have fun while you are doing it! I am all about having fun and want you to have fun too! So let's get on with the rules.
Number 1: It has to be original.
Number 2: Has to be representative of what the show is about. I don't drink and don't promote drinking so a bottle of booze on the shirt would probably get disqualified right away, just saying.
Number 3: No cussing. It's just not necessary.
Number 4: Once the design is submitted, it becomes my property. I hold all legal rights to the submission. That being said, if your design isn't picked at this time but is picked later, I will pay you the same fee I paid for the winner. It's only fair you get something for your effort. Just saying.
Number 5: The submission has to be in JPEG format. If it is in another format, I may be able to convert it but we will have to discuss that between the two of us.
Number 6: The prize is $150 Amazon gift card.
Number 7: The contest ends February 29, 2012. Winner will be selected by votes from The Mebuzzfree Viewers. Popular vote on the Facebook page. So get Subscribed to mebuzzfree on YouTube and get on the Facebook page so you can vote for yourself!
Number 8: send entries to: mebuzzfreefanmail@gmail.com Good Luck!
Thanks for entering! I wish you all the best!

What I Did To Lose Weight- Talking Diet Here
Hello Everybody!,
It's been a while since I posted here a The Extra Stuff. I think in the next few months I will be doing this more regularly. I have a lot to talk about and with winter on the doorstep, time to talk!
Many know that I recently decided to lose some weight and get healthier. Even have a contest going on with my YouTube viewers. I just want to give people some motivation to get healthy! Most people want to change their lifestyle to a healthier one, but they need a kick in the seat to get them off the couch! (I do understand you cannot kick someone in the seat when they are sitting down but you get my point, don't be so literal!) I just thought I would take some time to tell everyone what I am doing to lose weight as far as my diet goes.
The human body is totally amazing really! Just the fact that it works is really a miracle. The body also tries to protect itself. I'm not just talking reflexes and using he senses to avoid danger, I'm talking about preserving it's food source. Fat. Stored energy. Tissue that can be used up if the body needs energy but doesn't have any coming in! When people cut ALL the fat from their diet, the body goes into a safety mode where it will save the fat it has because, well, it may need it someday. Just the body trying to protect itself! So a dieter has to have some fat coming into the body to keep this from happening! After all, we dieters are trying to get rid of that extra weight! So I keep my fat intake between 25 and 30 grams a day. The 2000 calorie diet that is what all the food nutrition labels are based on is about twice that much.
Cutting out the obvious things from the diet is what I did first. Ice cream, cookies, candy, etc. Then I added fruit and vegetables, lots of fruit and vegetables! These things don't have a lot of fats and some have none at all.They are also low in calories. That's where I get into trouble. I don't get enough calories coming into my body! I have to count calories to make sure I get enough of them! Again, if you are burning them off, the body has to believe there are more coming in, or it will save up the fatty tissue for an emergency! I try to keep my intake at 1200 calories. This is sometimes difficult, really, not joking.The RDA allowances are based on a 2000 calorie diet. So 1200 calories is a reduced calorie diet by those standards but you still have calories coming in!
The next big thing I cut out of my diet is sodium. Salt keeps water in, water is weight, I want less weight, I need less salt. Simple isn't it. Seeing as I cut my soda intake to get rid of empty calories, my water intake went up! Plus salt adds to hypertension and all the other heart-blood maladies, better out than in I say. ( sorry, felt the need to quote Shrek there). I find that water with lemon is the best. The body can't absorb anything if it isn't slightly acidic. Lemon juice contains citric acid, AHA! the body can get it in quicker! As gross as it may seem, a glass of warm water with half a lemon squeezed in it first thing in the morning is great for your digestion. You lose water when you sleep (moisture in your breath) and usually wake up thirsty and have to go to the bathroom. The body needs that water back! The water being warm causes parastolitic action in the intestines to start and gets the body digesting the food that is already inside you! Another great side effect of lemon water is that it kills the morning breath!
These are just a few things that I do. I will be coming back and telling you more in the very near future. I begin the exercise portion of my weight loss plan next week. It's true, I have done no exercise this week other than a few long walks. That is about to change! Stay tuned and comment on what you have read, tell me what it is that you do exercise, Good luck at getting healthier!
Talk to you soon,
Steven
