1. IT IS NEVER TOO LATE TO START. NEVER. EVER.
2. MAKE A PLAN and WRITE it down. FOLLOW it. LOOK at it OFTEN.
3. Eat 5-8 times a day with small portions. Eat healthy: Lean protein, good fat, good carbs. Vitamins and minerals are important.  If you are hardcore and can do it for fast results, avoid rice, pasta, bread, starchy potatoes etc.
4. Drink water. If it is hard, add lemon, or drink flavored waters like ‘vitamin water’.
5. Exercise: walk, go to the gym, dance, sweat, or just wave your arms, breathe DEEP for a few minutes.
6. NEVER GIVE UP. NEVER. EVER. YOU can do it and you WILL BE SUCCESFUL.
7. For some more funnies. http://aj.buddyslim.com/2009/01/05/funnies/
8. Read other people’s blogs. Some are amazing stories. Some break your heart. Some have tips and tricks. I learn something new and useful there every week !!!
9. It is not easy. Sometimes it is, and other times it seems that every power in the universe is set against you. Maybe. But you KNOW “This too shall pass”. Have that faith. Ride it out.

BELOW are some of my posts on individual TOPICS

0. Abs - do crunches. Easier if you scoot your butt close to a chair/sofa and put your legs up. don’t lead with your head. let your abs pick you up. you only have to go a few inches. go slowly, both up and down. do a few and you can feel the burnnn !
You can also do matt furey’s combat abs program. Abs contractions. Leg lifts are great for the lower abs if you can do them. You have to support your back though !

1. POSITIVE
“It is gonna be a fantastic day !”
I read somewhere you should say that as soon as you wake up every morning.
It gives your mind the right positive perspective and the rest of the day should just be wonderful.
I mean, think about it, it is not what happens but how we REACT to what happens. It is not which cards you are dealt, but HOW YOU PLAY whatever hand you have.
So there, I have DECIDED that no matter what, today IS going to be awesome.
And smile. It is an easy trick to use the body to change your mind. You and others will feel better almost instantaneously.

2. You CAN eat ‘whatever’ once in a while.
Love it all. Enjoy every bite of it. No guilt. Total acceptance.

3. This is an article I posted:
Medical hypnosis is a proven technique endorsed by the American Medical Association and the British Medical Association. What’s more, it works. I’ve seen people use medical hypnosis to get focused on their diet and follow it with almost no effort at all.

4. Weight Loss = Diet + Exercise ; Diet 70% + Exercise 30%

5. New workout machine. It was developed for Astronauts in space to address bone loss and to increase strength, muscle growth and endurance. It is slowly arrving on Earth !

6. FAMILY and Friends: help or hindrance ?
http://aj.buddyslim.com/2009/01/04/family-best-and-worst-tips-and-tricks/

7. Here are a few things i think help one to be more healthy, lose weight, and just be happy in general !

20 fitness predictions for the new year
Tom Venuto
Fat Loss Coach
www.BurnTheFatBook.com

I PREDICT that if you can reach into your pocket on any day this year and pull out a card or piece of paper with all your body and fitness goals written on it in vivid detail, the odds are 95 to 1 in favor of you achieving every one of those goals before the year is out.

I PREDICT that if you focus your thoughts on your goals and how you are going to achieve them, all day long, you will reach your goals so fast this year, it will make your head spin.

I PREDICT that if you focus your thoughts on health woes and body fat problems and if you think about what you don’t want, all day long, your problems will get worse than ever this year.

I PREDICT that if you made a new year’s resolution, but you didn’t turn it into a specific, written goal with a deadline and a strong reason why you must achieve it, you will freely abandon it the moment the going gets tough.

I PREDICT that if you can tell me all the reasons why achieving your health and fitness goals are important to you, you will be motivated from within to stick with it when the going gets tough.

I PREDICT that at times, the going is going to get tough.

I PREDICT that if you can tell me today what is your life purpose and what is your lifelong vision for your body and your health, you will still be as motivated and driven at the end of the year as you were at the beginning.

I PREDICT that if you don’t have long term goals and a “big picture” vision for your life that you will lose your New Year’s enthusiasm and motivation in a matter of months or even weeks.

I PREDICT that the way you see yourself in your mind’s eye today will be an exact reflection of what you see in the mirror at the end of the year.

I PREDICT that if you have a setback that seems to get in the way of you reaching your health and fitness goals and you tell yourself “this just is temporary; this too shall pass,” then it will pass and it won’t set you back.

I PREDICT that if you believe the way your body looks today is out of your control and you feel helpless or powerless to change, you won’t even make much of an effort this year.

I PREDICT that if you accept complete responsibility for the way your body looks today and you believe that you have the power to change, that you will take action and keep taking action, even through the tough times.

I PREDICT that if you’re unhappy with your physical condition and you say, “it’s not my fault” or you blame it on genetics, hormones or age, then your body will look pretty much the same at the end of this year as it did on New Year’s day.

I PREDICT that the more you have patience, a long term perspective and the ability to postpone immediate gratification, the more likely you are to be a success one year from now.

I PREDICT that the more you seek “miracle pills” or “quick fixes,” the more likely you are to be a failure one year from now.

I PREDICT that you will be tempted by many quick fixes this year.

I PREDICT that if you hang out with losers and negative people this year, you will become just like them.

I PREDICT that if you hang out with winners and positive people this year, you will become just like them.

I PREDICT that you will run into more negative people and losers this year than positive people and winners.

I PREDICT that if you recruit just one friend or support partner that stands behind you and the lifestyle changes you want to make this year, you will double your chances for success. If you surround yourself with numerous support partners, you will become virtually unstoppable.

So how does your future look for the year ahead?

Based on my “predictions,” if it doesn’t look as bright as you’d like it to be, then don’t worry, because a prediction is not predestination.

You can’t do anything to change the past, but by changing your thoughts, attitudes and actions in the present moment, the future is yours to create.

Your friend and coach,

Tom Venuto

That’s right !
I finally got one !
lol

I set it up last night and hopped on for the ride !
Let me tell you, that thing is fun.
First it is so cool that the thing talks to you and has all the cool graphics.
It automatically weighs you and asks you about height and date of birth etc.
I chose a trainer and he walked me through a bunch of exercises.
I did a total of 25 minutes workout. It wasn’t continuous.
I did strength, balance, aerobics and one yoga pose.
Simply put, I enjoyed it.
It tracks everything:
-weight
-BMI
-date and time. there is a whole calendar thing in it. Everything is time stamped.
-you can add multiple users. I am gonna drag my family into it !
-time spent exercising and which kind of exercise.
-you can even add in exercise you DON’T do on the wii to track general progress.

I will report more later !!!

Keep up your good works, folks !
