Stay Focused!

Healthy Way of Life!

I read this recently and had to share.  This is how I live.  This is how I believe.  So awesome. So true!

"It's not just about what you eat or how you exercise, it's about all the little choices you make every day: choices about what goes in and on and around your body; choices about the perspectives you hold  and the people you surround yourself with. " 

Excerpt from Experience Life Magazine. 

Have a GREAT weekend!  Make wise choices.  Love yourself. Love your heart.

Day 13 Reason to Believe: You Can IMPROVE your Health.

We can reverse years of damage to our bodies by deciding to raise our standards for ourselves, then living differently. Old wounds heal, injuries repair, and the whole system improves with just a few changes in what we put into our bodies and how we move them. 

Wow!  What great news!  Small changes.  BIG RESULTS!  

Doesn't it feel great to know that you are doing something good for yourself that could have a profound effect on your health.  Losing only 10% of your weight can do that.

Have you started working on those changes yet?  I have.  Join me.

Day 6 Reason to Believe: Weight Loss Doesn't Require Perfection...

...it requires perseverance!

Rather than aiming for being perfect, just aim to be a little bit better today than you were yesterday. 

You can do it.  Slow and steady wins the race!  


And boy am I glad this is the case cause I just had a small handful of peanuts with plain M&Ms!  Just one and now...I'm back on track!  

What attitude do you bring to life?

"Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens."

                                    John Homer Miller  

Quote for Today: June 23, 2011

"You are the way you are because that's the way you want to be. If you really wanted to be any different, you would be in the process of changing right now."  Fred Smith

What are you aiming for?

"The odds of hitting a target go up dramatically when you aim at it."  Mal Pancoast    


What are you aiming for?  Don't know?  Well, that is where you must begin...set your target, aim....fire!  .

Quote for Today: February 10, 2011

Listen closely: the only time it's too late to change yourself is when you're dead. Until then, you're simply making excuses or lying to yourself. 

Stop making excuses.  No more lying.  Today is the day to love yourself more, make healthy choices and get moving!

Quote for Today! Self-love and Affection.

"You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection."

And what better way to love yourself than by taking care of your health! 

Quote for Today! Start Doing!

"The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing."

Are you still talking?  What will you BEGIN DOING TODAY for your weight loss and wellness?

Quote for today - Are you being honest?

Your body keeps an accurate journal regardless of what you write down... 

I can recall the days, years ago..one of the many times I had half-heartedly "attempted" to do the Weight Watchers Program.  I would arrive at the meeting, step on the scale only to be "surprised" that my pounds had not gone down or had actually gone up.  I would lie to myself and say, well I wrote everything down and thought I did well.  Really?  Everything?  What about that sweet tea?  What about those nibbles while cooking?  What about the extra cookie?  Did you get that bag of chips?  NO!  I felt like a little daily sneak wouldn't show up on the scale.  I mean it was small...what could it hurt.  Hahahahaha!  Yeh, right.


I can recall the days when I would say, "I really don't eat that much."  Really?  How would you know?  However, once I started writing it down...it became real.  I ate much more than I thought.  My portions were too big and I had more breads/carbs than anything.  Hardly, any fruits and veggies.  But somehow, I thought I would lose weight, while being clueless.  


I tried many times to keep up with my menu "in my head" only to wake up, week after week with the same pounds sitting there and quite often a few more added.  Nothing changed much until I started to plan my menu and honestly journal.


So ladies it's true..


Your body keeps an accurate journal regardless of what you write down...  


Don't lie to yourself!  Your body knows!  Let's keep it real!

“If you want your life to be a magnificent story, then begin by realizing that you are the author and everyday you have the opportunity to write a new page” – Mark Houlahan

What will you write on your page today?

Quote for Today

"Your only limitations are those you set up in your mind, or permit others to set up for you."

           Og Mandino 


What limitations have you set up for yourself by saying, this is too hard, I don't like to exercise, I can't do this?  Change your words, change your world!

What have you done for yourself today?

You won't fail if you're not perfect, you'll fail if you're not committed to improving yourself slightly each day. 

A weight loss journey can be challenging and many give up simply because they messed up at meal time.  No need to try to be perfect.  Accept the moment and move on.  Each moment presents an opportunity to do something good for yourself and start fresh.

So for today, no need to strive for perfection, just commit to improving a bit each day.  

Are you committed?    I am!

Thank you Tiare for such a great outlet and for giving me the kick in the pants to plan my menu a week in advance! Menu planning has simplified my life in so many ways. Again you all are great.
