New Year

A new year is here.  What you do with it is up to you – only you.  Making promises to do better this year is only a promise.  Make that promise a goal.  And the only way to make a goal come true is write it down.  So what do you want to do?  Make more money?  So how are you planning on doing that?  No plan, no goal – it is not going to happen.   To make money in your field may mean you will need more education.  So…. you will never be this young again regardless of your age now.  Go back to school.  And again it may mean you need to change your field of work altogether.  If you goal is to make more money this year, you will have to figure the way for that to happen.  Just wishing will not work.

 For some may want to lose weight.  There is only way.  Without hard work on your part – it will never happen.  A better choice of foods and exercise – hard and lots of exercise is the only way to achieve this goal.  Make it happen by being accountable and keeping TRUE records of what you actually eat, including ALL snacks.  Tell everyone you know that you need them to help you watch your diet and that you need help with exercise.  No accountability or hard work and this year will be just like last year, with more weight gained.

 Enough for today.

Exercise and other dirty words

Walking or running? Well running is out for me, knees tell me NO WAY, in a direct message of PAIN.  Walking will definitely firm up the legs and other places, plus it is good for the heart.  To walk in sunshine gives the added benefit of Vitamin D which so many are deficient.   Plus the sunshine just makes a person feel so much better and just makes the world is a brighter place to live. 

Other exercise?  There are all sorts of gyms and spas out there with all sorts of equipment.  And even some for just ladies!   Some of the equipment is downright frightening!  Machines that make a certain muscles move, if a person can figure out to use the machine correctly and not get all tangled.  Scary!  Machines that reach all the way up far taller than the person using it.  Machines that offer a “walk path” that works really well, except if machine is going too fast to keep pace it is impossible to change pace while on the “walk path”.  You could find yourself on the floor behind the machine.  Oh my!

Enough for today!  Being as it is only 28 outside now; guess the mall is the next best thing to being outside.  The only thing about walking in the mall is to be there before the stores open, it is not considered polite to run over customers.
