Let's Get Great in 2008

[Yaads 0]

Congrats Sonny!!!

D~ Glad your body is being reshaped and you are liking it! Good for you!

Sjb~ Hope everything is alright Good luck getting back on the wagon! I know you can do it

I have kinda fallen off the wagon as well. Too much drama and stress in my life to add on something else - like eating right - especially when I am an emotional eater. I have been trying to do good and I haven't gained any weight back so I am thankful for that. As soon as my life calms down a bit I hope to get back into the swing of things. Plus spring is just around the corner so that should make getting out and active a little easier soon.

Thought I'd share:

40 Tips for Better Life - 2008

1. Take a 10-30 minute walk every day. And while you walk, smile. It is the
ultimate anti-depressant.

2. Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day. Buy a lock if you have
to.

3. Buy a DVR and tape your late night shows and get more sleep.

4. When you wake up in the morning complete the following statement, 'My
purpose is to __________ today.'

5. Live with the 3 E's -- Energy, Enthusiasm, and Empathy.

6. Play more games and read more books than you did in 2007.

7. Make time to practice meditation, yoga, tai chi, and prayer. They provide
us with daily fuel for our busy lives.

8. Spend time with people over the age of 70 and under the age of 6.

9. Dream more while you are awake.

10. Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and eat less food that is
manufactured in plants.

11. Drink green tea and plenty of water. Eat blueberries, wild Alaskan
salmon, broccoli, almonds & walnuts.


12. Try to make at least three people smile each day.

13. Clear clutter from your house, your car, your desk and let new and
flowing energy into your life.

14. Don't waste your precious energy on gossip, energy vampires, issues of
the past, negative thoughts or things you cannot control. Instead invest
your energy in the positive present moment.

15. Realize that life is a school and you are here to learn. Problems are
simply part of the curriculum that appear and fade away like algebra class
but the lessons you learn will last a lifetime.

16. Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a college
kid with a maxed out charge card.

17. Smile and laugh more. It will keep the energy vampires away.

18. Life isn't fair, but it's still good.

19. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.

20. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.

21. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.

22. Make peace with your past so it won't spoil the present.

23. Don't compare your life to others'. You have no idea what their journey
is all about.

24. No one is in charge of your happiness except you.

25. Frame every so-called disaster with these words: 'In five years, will
this matter?'

26. Forgive everyone for everything.

27. What other people think of you is none of your business.

28. GOD heals everything.

29. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.

30. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends will.
Stay in touch.

31. Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful.

32. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.

33. The best is yet to come.

34. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.

35. Do the right thing!

36. Connect with your family often....phone, email, together, cards, notes

37. Each night before you go to bed complete the following statements: I am
thankful for __________. Today I accomplished _________.

38. Remember that you are too blessed to be stressed.

39. Enjoy the ride. Remember this is not Disney World and you certainly
don't want a fast pass. You only have one ride through life so make the most
of it and enjoy the ride.

40. Foward to those you care about.

Wow.. I forgot all about this! Thanks for bumping!

Has anyone had any success? The year is almost over and I've only lost 5 lbs

[Shemmy 4]

Not me. That's why I bumped it. I didn't much of anything ALL summer. Gotta get rid of my chins before my birthday.

We moved so I can't participate in my favorite belly dancing classes as much...maybe twice a month. That's why my love handles are back.

Just joined a gym in my new neighborhood....so good so far. I took a Body Combat class last night..everything hurts except for my eyelids.

Eating habits - I'm going to try what Honey and Sonny did - cut back sugar and eat 5-6 times a day.

[Marie876 0]

Yeah I'm gonna try it too. They've had some good results from it. But I'll start tomorrow..McDonalds had their burger sale today

[brownnskinn 0]

Dang I haven't posted here since March . I've gained 7lbs since then. That too shall pass. I am down two pounds this week. Wishing for another 2 next week! Anyone ever post that food list? I want to drop 20 by Christmas .
