I am One Stomach Flu Away from My Goal Weight

This quotation is from the movie The Devil Wears Prada

How many of you, if you'd be honest, have ever thought..

"being sick is a good way to lose weight" 

or 

"I wish I'd get sick, so I could lose weight without trying"

I definitely laughed out loud when I heard the quotation in the movie, but when I spent time thinking about it, I asked myself what can be done to take our focus off from being skinny at any cost to being healthy at any cost. If that isn't our underlined focus, we're flirting with danger. It's dangerous when numbers on a scale are guiding your health decisions.

Here are 3 ways to jump start your healthy lifestyle:

1.  Redefine your perception of health:  Read health magazines, articles, books, etc.
2.  Ask your doctor (or WebMD for those w/o insurance :) about your options for changing your lifestyle
3.  Begin to notice and compliment healthy people

These three steps are sure to get you off on the right foot!  Want to learn how to help yourself stay on track after you start?  Call 678.978.1885 and set up a telephone appointment and you'll be amazed at how weekly life coaching with me will make you more successful in all your goals!

The Key to a Great 2011

My best guess is that for most of you, myself included, this year you want to do better in something that relates to your self-image.  Maybe you're wanting to exercise more, eat healthier/less, drink more water, take more pride in your appearance,  or just desire to solely focus on thoughts and people that build up and encourage you.

Whatever you've thought about changing in 2011, just remember that every morning is an opportunity to start anew.  If you didn't do what you hoped to do today, don't give up and wait until the beginning of next year to try again, start with a renewed vigor and freshness the next day.  Your days are whatever you make it to be.  Make it count! Starting fresh every time is the key!

By the way, you're beautiful :-)
