Greetings
from Dr. Christian & the Staff of Inside Outside

Corner. Let's get serious about our Nutrition, Exercise and Skin care
& make 2018
the best year yet!!
At Inside Outside we have "The Cure" for our Health and Fitness Crisis,
never doubt it!!
"The Inside Outside Way of Life" !
Live It in 2018 & Take it to a
New Level! It's Magic! Commit!!

From Dr.
Christian: Reflections on the 5 Levels of Commitment! |
|
One of the many things I share with my Staff and Interns
is the concept of Commitment. Webster's defines it as
"a pledge to do something; the state of being bound emotionally or
intellectually to an ideal or course of action". Last
summer I wrote about the very obvious commitment the
Summer Olympic Athletes
make and how they follow the Scout's Motto of "Allzeit Bereit" Be
Prepared. The "Ham and Egg Omelet" analogy clearly is an example of the
Pig being Committed and the Chicken just involved. As you think about
some Commitments you might want to make in 2018 you might want to
consider what I call the "5 Levels of Commitment". The 1st Level
is simply "I will try". We all know that when we hear this or say
this that usually nothing happens. The 2nd Level is "I will do my
best". This sounds better but gives us a little wiggle room
doesn't it. How do we know what is "my best" and how do others know? The
3rd Level is "I will do whatever it takes, as long as it is legal".
This sounds much better and is what Peter B. Kyne wrote about in his
1921 wonderful short story "The Go Getter" Sub Title "A Story that Tells
you How to Be One. It's pretty easy to recognize a Go-Getter, they are
goal oriented and willing to do "Whatever It Takes". Many Entrepreneurs
are Go Getters, investing their time, money, energy, blood, sweat and
tears to achieve their dreams. The 4th Level is "I will do whatever it
takes, even if it is illegal". This obviously is a dangerous level but
used often by ConMen who are out to "help" you. Everyone wants to
believe that there is an easy solution to their problems and the "Short
Cuts" that these ConMen promise usually involve something illegal.
Run, Don't walk from these people, They will drain you of Time, Money
and Energy and might get you in trouble with the law. The 5th
Level of Commitment is "Giving it All", best demonstrated by the
sacrifices our Military (Pvt.
Treptow's Pledge), Police and others make
every day. As we look forward to 2018 let's reflect on some
of these thoughts about "Commitment" What is clear is that as Benjamin
Franklin wrote "The presence of health makes all things easier, it's
absence, everything more difficult" That's where living
"The Inside Outside Way of Life"
can help, first make a commitment to yourself, you are worthy of it. |

2017! Much Accomplished, 5
yr Lease Renewal and Lots of
Upgrades at Inside Outside!! |
|
|
At Inside
Outside we are always looking for ways to make our Center run more
smoothly and efficiently to serve you. In addition to renewing
our lease this year for another 5 years, we made a number of
upgrades to help accomplish this. One of the big projects was
the creation of a new Learning Center in the Gym with a 49in Sony 4K
TV. It has been hooked to a computer and we will use it for
all teaching sessions for our Interns and Staff. The area for
the TV was created about 15 years ago when Dr. Christian designed
the millwork in the Gym but we are just now able to make the
investment in the equipment. Other upgrades include new software and
hardware for the DXA Scanner which allows us to do Visceral Fat
Analysis. Communications upgrades include a new High Speed
Sonic Firewall, 1GB Ethernet Switch, High Speed Internet from
Spectrum Business and 3rd Generation Artificial Intelligence
Antivirus Software from
Cylance
on all workstations. In addition, we have switched our 5
Landlines to Spectrum from AT&T for less $$ and upgraded our
printer. We replaced 4 pads in the gym (TrainingBuddy)
added carpet to the storage room and had a huge cleanout of old
computer workstations and monitors and cables (Goodwill),
had 32 gallons of Botox needles disposed of properly (Medsharps),
did a lot of shredding and generally uncluttered the office.
It's been a great year and we are excited about 2018!! Plus
Text Messaging (ZipWhip) from our Land Line to help you make your
appointments.
Check Out our FaceBook Album of all these
Upgrades!

We Now Have
Ability to Send a Text Message Via Our Land Line 210-616-0826 via ZipWhip |
| |
Many Clients over the years have asked us if we h ave
the ability to send reminders or if there would be a way to communicate with
us using Texting Capabilities of SmartPhones. We are please to
announce that we now are able to offer this service using one of our
existing LandLines through
ZipWhip.
We have to have your permission to
communicate with you in this manner and we can't use it for marketing or to
send you any Protected Health Information and you would not want to send us
any Credit Card or Payment Information. This service will only be used
to schedule appointments or to remind clients of appointments or that they
are due for a Botox Treatment. We certainly won't abuse this
capability with unnecessary messages and by Typing STOP, you can opt out for
these messages. We have developed a little Botox Emoji to send along with
the messages to remind you that you might be due for Botox!! |

knew how to keep Christmas well,
if any man alive possessed the
knowledge.
May that be truly said of us,
