RELEASING WEIGHT!  STEP OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE!

How did you get to the place where you are right now?  Weight comes on one lb. at a time. We want immediate results.  We want change right away.  

To get stronger will power, we have to accept our reality as this starting point.  "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."  Had to put in this bible verse because it is all powerful.  You want to have the belief that you can do this.

Looking at your weight right now, just accept it and love yourself for the person you are.  Take it one step at a time.  I posted on Facebook to stop drinking soda and no more desserts.  That is a big step.

Keeping track of what you are eating daily is another step to take.  Shaklee 180 is an excellent weight loss program and easy to follow. What is the most important thing about the 180 is it is a forever lifestyle change.  No more dieting or feeling bad about yourself.  We all can step out of our comfort zone and do the things necessary to become healthier and feeling more energetic.

HOW TO BE HAPPY!

My specialty in writing is all about health.  That is the reason our company is called "Healthy Habits."  Well, today I am writing about how to be happy.  There is no magic pill for this.
Hoping these suggestions by one of my favorite people, Dale Carnegie, will be a real help to you.

Do you know that you can be happy by just making up your mind-- and sticking to it--that you are going to be happy?  Happiness depends upon your state of mind, not upon your possessions or your achievement.  First, you must insist upon creating your own philosophy of life.  Don't let what another says or does affect you to the degree that he or she is influencing your beliefs.

Second, when you are feeling unhappy, take a walk on a beautiful day, to some beautiful spot. Think of the loveliness around you.  If you do this, you cannot be wholly unhappy at the moment.  And that moment may set your pattern for the day, or the week, or the month, or for life.

Third, read a beautiful poem, listen to beautiful music.

Fourth (and this will be one of the most potent INFLUENCES), do a kind deed for someone else.

Fifth, if you are a woman, see that your house is in order, add to its tidiness and beauty.

Sixth, keep as healthy as possible.  You don't have to let develop such ailments as the various forms of rheumatism, arthritis, neuritis, high blood pressure and others that can become chronic.  If you do, you are being careless with yourself.

Seventh, get a hobby.  Make that hobby something you have always been interested in.

Have a happy day and a happy life!  It is up to you.  Remember, no one else can make you happy!   www.healthyhabitstoday.net

RESOLUTION: TO EAT BETTER & FILL THE FRIDGE WITH FOODS YOU LOVE!!

Optimism is making a New Year's resolution to eat healthier.  Realism is a fridge full of kale that nobody wants.  You're more likely to stay motivated when it comes to eating healthy if you focus on consuming the good stuff you actually, you know, ENJOY, according to a Baylor University study.

"Make your favorite foods--like berries or broccoli--staples of your diet, rather than forcing yourself to eat things that make you miserable.   Your diet will be more successful, says study author Meredith David, Ph.D.

My comment is view weight loss as a lifestyle change not a diet.  Replace certain foods with healthier choices.  Every time you look at a temptation, think of what you are giving up for  maybe to be healthier and enjoy your children and grandchildren or how about you just like skinny jeans and want to wear them again!  Food for thought!  Good choices I hope!

DIET SODA IS LINKED TO WEIGHT GAIN!!!

Now that we are entering a new year, how about taking a look at our diets.  I know that is a bad word but you know where are you going to live when your body wears out!

People who drank one or more cans of diet soda every day for NINE YEARS added 3.2 inches to their waistlines versus only 0.8 inches for people who did not drink diet soda.  People who drank diet soda only occasionally expanded their waits by 1.8 inches.

Before you take that next diet soda, think about this.  This was published in Journal of the American Geriatrics Society.  

Remember us, we can help you release that extra weight you have been carrying around for awhile.  Visit our website: www.healthyhabitstoday.net

What Changes are in store for you in 2017???

Have you made your resolutions on what you want in 2017?  Have you thought about what you did in 2016? What's ahead for you in 2017?  These are big questions or are you like some of us who just says ahh, the heck with it, I will just go day to day, come what may!

It's time to do a personal inventory.  I did think at one time that New Year's Eve was an evening of party time, dressing up, maybe even dancing away the evening.  One year I realized that maybe just maybe New Year's Eve is the time to reflect on what has happened in the year that is leaving us.  Was it a great year or was it just so-so?

It is time for a change if you want that change to happen.  Maybe it is to get more organized, that's a biggie.  How about losing or should I say releasing that 10 lbs. that has been haunting us for awhile? Someone once said to me don't say lose the weight, release it because if you lose it, you may find it but when you release it, it is GONE!  Yeah!!  How about working on our attitude, to remain more positive and looking at life as a glass half full not half empty!

I am looking at releasing 10 lbs. in 2017 and I am serious this time.  No more excuses!  How am I going to do this?  I have a helper who is going to be with me during my journey to feeling more healthy and looking more fit.  Do you want join me in this venture?  Leucine is one of my partners and I am happy that they are on board.  Want to know more, visit my website: www.healthyhabitstoday.net, leave your contact information and receive a free healthprint that will help you check out your health profile and what changes need to be made.  Also check out the 180 program for weight loss.  This is not the miracle of overnight weight loss.  Don't we want lasting success?  Don't we want products that work?  Don't we want real results from real people and their successes?  Waiting to hear from you.   Join me for some fun when something is lost - WEIGHT!

From the writings of Dale Carnegie:

Remember happiness doesn't depend upon who you are and what you have; it depends solely upon what you think.  So start each day by thinking of all the things you have to be thankful for.  Your future will depend very largely on the thoughts you think today.  So think thoughts of hope and confidence and love and success.

Have a great day and think about this writing.  Try it for a week and see how much happier you will be.  Let me know what you think about this.  Visit my facebook page, www. facebook.com/harrietcole.31
