Whether you are looking for advice when it comes to exercise, nutrition, losing weight, or any number of things don't feel like you have to listen to it all. TODAY is a new day.

Get started.
A wise friend once told me: "When you say No to someone else, you are saying Yes to you". Remember to put yourself first somedays. One of the greatest freedoms you can have is voting. It is one of the few times that your voice can actually be heard. Take the time and let the government know what you think. If you don't, we don't want to hear complaints from you later. When I'm sitting at the computer, to keep my circulation going, I set my timer for 30 minutes. When that goes off, I reset it for 5 minutes and either walk or do something on my daily to do list. Moderation, Moderation, Moderation
I have always been an "all" or "nothing" kind of gal...meaning I ate the whole container of ice cream or none at all....the whole bage of chips or none at all. I am pretty sure some of you know what I am talking about. After celebrating my 1 month SP Anniversary and a weight loss of 11 pounds I want to share a secret of success...Moderation. Everything in moderation...food, exercise, rest and fun! I'm not exactly what I ought to be, But thank the Universe, I'm not what I used to be! Don't beat yourself up when you mess up, just get on the wagon again and go forward. Return the shopping cart to the store! It adds a bit more movement in your day and shows respect by taking care of something that doesn't belong to you. It prevents damage to vehicles, keeps the carts out of the heat, cold, rain or snow. The cart won't clog up the parking spaces if they are put back in the store. Most of all, it's not that hard and doesn't take very long to just return the cart to the store where others can use it. |
