So Little Time



Buzzin's


Time Time Time!  We all have to deal with the judicious spending of our precious 24 hours each day.  Family. Work.  Me Time. Let's  jump straight to the Me Time thing.  Most of us feel so guilty taking  Me Time.  GET OVER IT!  It is very necessary/important.  Me Time is what keeps us going, grounded, focused. Part of your Me Time is the exercise...yes exercise/activity!  You can't take care of your responsibilities unless you are healthy, fit,  and ready.  Healthy eating and exercise should be part of your day.  If you are like me I always thought, "I don't have time or money to go to the gym so I guess I won't do anything!"  Holy Moly! That was an excuse.  I found there are a zillion other things that will fill that spot and get us fitter than we are right now and that don't require extra anything.  And easy too. Hold the Presses: Seriously?  YUP!  In only 10 minutes you can do yourself some real good!  A study showed that people who  got 72 minutes a week (10 minutes a day) exercise improved their fitness level more than those who worked out longer...how about them healthy apples???  And you know you have 10 minutes. While you are on the phone, stuck at the airport, shopping, watching TV.  NOTE: All movement counts.  Now is the time to use the tools you have available to help you and make it more fun.  E-tools (Fitness Tab has 10 minute workouts and videos), ActiveLink (Now that is really fun!  You can see your progress and set our own goals. It is awesome!  Learn more by clicking on the link below) Pedometer.  Or just use our head to come up with something that will fit YOUR lifestyle and that you WILL do...both are key in all this. Make this the week you get in 10 minutes a day.  It doesn't have to be the same thing, every day is different.  JUST DO!!! (to quote Yoda)
T*A*I*S!

Me Again...



Buzzin's


Me again...I am seriously trying to get back on a schedule.  I think about it all the time.  I am hoping to get back to work on October 15th.  I will not be leading meetings anymore, but I will be doing Drop In Hours  M-Tu-Wed at the Broken Arrow Store and receptionist for the Saturday meetings at Highland.  (Only the Tulsa people will understand that, but it's info I needed to get out)  I have lead meetings for 11 years and it is really hard to think I won't be ding it any more.  

However, change is a good thing.  Just like our weight loss journey...nothing stays the same for ever and we wouldn't want it too.  How dull!  When you see something is not working on your Plan, time to change.  Can't do the exercise you have always done?  Find something new.  Weight loss come to a slow halt?  Check your tracker (YES!  Your tracker...one of your most valuable tools!)  What has changed since the days of losing?  What  needs to change to get back to that?  Once you decide to make a lifestyle change and eat healthier and exercise more, etc, you have given up the luxury of NOT thinking about what you are eating and doing.  Seriously, if your are really serious it has to be.  But if you are really serious you will want to do it and it won't be a problem.  You will be courting SUCCESS and loving it.

Remember this:  It takes TIME!  I have certainly learned that this Summer.  Healing, losing weight, making a lifestyle change...takes time my friends!  And you have to be AWARE:

A-bolish negative thoughts
W-atch yourself change
A-ccept help
R-esolve to hang in there
E-xpect SUCCESS!   

T*A*I*S!
