As soon as I said I was going to lose 50lbs, I was starving!  Yes I did have a couple of stressful things happen, but really..

The best way to put an end to this is to get on the scale. It will give you a wake up call  and keep any weight gain to a minimum.  It made me get out of bed and go swimming this morning.

Don’t forget to check out BlogTalkRadio this week.

One of my favorites meals is Dannon yogurt with fruit on the bottom. I know there are better choices but hey, I like it.

The other day they didn’t have so I decided to try Greek yougurt. Here is the breakdown:
Brand                   Calories            Protein              Fat            Sugar
Dannon w/fruit       150                     6                    1.5              27
Chobani                    140                   14                     0                19

It may seem like I am only savings 10 calories but that is the net saving.

Cut the sugar 32(4×8) and added 32 in protein. The 10 calories saved is all fat. Over all I would say this is a great upgrade.

Now I only have to find a way to cut 490 more calories a day to reach my goal.

Good news, weight loss may not just be about willpower. According to Daniel Amen, MD, there are 5 different brain patterns that that can have an effect on our success.

Don’t get me wrong. You still have to exercise and eat less. But understanding your pattern and using the related supplements can help according to Amen.

I will be talking about this today. Learn more at www.blogtalkradio.com/imready4me.

Sometimes life just gets the better of us. In the last few months, I have been doing seminars. Started a new business. Helped my daughter buy a house. Went on a cruise with my parents, my sister and my daughter. Had a new grandson. And still lost weight.


What I realized, is that I am not focusing on just losing weight any more. What I am focusing on is reaching my full potential. I want to be Healthy, Wealthy and Alive in 2011.  I hope you will join me on this exciting exploration.

Attempting Balance

This time will be different. That’s what I said.  Different is not always better or easy. But I have used my time well trying to get the balance right. I made an important discovery -again. I am a speaker not a writer. I like doing my radio show and teleseminars more than I like blogging. They are easier and more fun for me.

Doing what I’m good at.

So here is  what I have been doing. My next teleseminar is – “Know where you are going – do better planning!” It is Tuesday, May 4th at 8pm EST.  This is an open Smart Office

Still Practicing

I’m still getting the hang of having success on multiple levels and not ignoring my health. In the last week, great things have been happening with both my businesses. I had my 4 grandchildren over to spend the night and go to the movies. I had my 38th Wedding Anniversary. And I had a really nice Easter with my parents and daughters. So that takes care of business and family.

What about health?

You could say that my mental health was energized by seeing my family, but my eating was a low priority. Well that‘s not completely true. I made a conscious effort to buy lots of healthy food to have in the house. I bought lots of salad, fruit, nuts, yogurt and lean meat. Probably the best thing that happened was I couldn’t get the big bag of M & M’s that I bought to share with my mother open. I decided it was a sign to give her the whole thing!

By planning good choices, my eating was better. What healthy choice will you make today? Let me know.

This time will be different

Whenever I start to experience success, I then  start to focus on it with all my energy.  When I am building my business, I tend to ignore my health. And visa versa. Right now a new joint venture, www.SmartOfficeStrategies.com and the speaking part of my business are taking of like gangbusters.  And I don’t want to ignore my health.

I made 2 major shifts

In December, I come up with my “I AM ECStatic” Model. And I had a major shift. I am getting better and faster results! The reasons it works are a) It makes you feel good and b) It sets comprehensive and holistic goals. Then in March, I had another shift. I learned how to handle my fears and excuses. I didn’t eliminate them but I can give myself permission and the conditions I need to move forward. Taking just the first step is ok.

How will you increase your successes on multiple fronts? What healthy choice will you make today? Let me know?
