Lets each share what is working or has worked for us in the past.

We can all learn from each other so lets be a mastermind type group.

What worked for me today was listen to a health podcast while cooking dinner I only nibble on the veggies
I also asked my honey to go rollerblading with me it was fun and I felt different muscles than the ones I use when i run.

This is one of my favorite inspirational books. I always think I am going to put the pennies into waht matter most.

The Slight Edge by Jeff Olson is a great book for your personal development library.

This book will challenge your current thinking and philosophy towards life. It is about how you can change your life, and how "The Slight Edge" can have an amazing impact over time.

Jeff explains very simply how one can take control of every aspects of one's life right away. This includes relationships, spiritual, financial, health and beliefs. He explains exactly what "The Slight Edge" it is and how it can affect our lives. We are using this every day whether we realize it or not, and its either working for or against you.

One example could be deciding to not exercise today. It's easy to skip a day just because I don't feel like it. Will it make a difference today? No. Will it make a difference over time? Yes. And that is "The Slight Edge." If I continually don't exercise, I will get out of shape, perhaps gain weight, and be at more risk for health problems.

Simple decisions we make every day either impact in a negative way, out of shape and overweight, or a positive, I feel better and am making a decision to be pro-active about my health. It's really so simple and can have dramatic effect over time.

Jeff gives several examples where you can improve your life and the positive results in easily understood steps and how you can easily incorporate these into regular routines.

Jeff discusses goals and how making the decision to actually begin is the difference between just thinking about it and actually getting started. We shouldn't be afraid of failure as it will ultimately lead to success if we remember "The Slight Edge" and keep doing those actions day after day repeatedly over time.

This book is easy to read and you probably will find once you get started you won't be able to put it down. It needs to be read over and over. I highly recommend it and believe it's a book that has changed many lives, if people put into practice what Jeff recommends.

Last night I was thinking I should do a quick ab video becasue that is my problem area but was unmotivated as I brushed my teeth I thought if I spent the same amount of time doing sit ups as brushing my teeth it would propel me forward so I did a quick set of situps by my bed.

This morning I went shopping with my girlfiend and we had a coffee and a muffin out. Not the best choice and she invited me back to her house and we were going to have another tea and snack but I suggested we do one of her exercise videos. It was a beachbody weighted 40 min workout and it was great fun. I am having a ladies night get together at my house tonight and am going to allow myself to have a large glass of wine and a mini slice of cake. My calories for the day will still be around 1200 because I had a protein shake for lunch and am just having veggies and dip for dinner

Ladies how do you add your fitness tracker wieght lose bar on your notes?

It is good to give your body a rest day and I took mine yesterday. I measure my success not necessarily in the number but in how I feel, look and in the good changes I have adapted. My weight will follow over time when I make consistant positive changes.

Her is an exercise for you to do
Write a single declarative sentence in present tense affirming your heart’s desires as if they have already manifested in your life. Start out focusing on only three of your wants. Repeat these sentences over and over in your mind or out loud three times a day—morning, noon and night—and as you do, relax, put a smile on your face and say them with emotion. Be flexible, if you need to change anything in your affirmations, just rewrite them until they make you feel great every time you say them. (If you’re feeling flat and don’t think you can muster up a good feeling emotion, try singing your affirmations. It will uplift your spirit and put you in a better feeling place.

My three wants
to love, to soar to reach my highest dreams

I am me when I be light and free true to me.
