A few weeks ago I was interviewing Dr. Vera Stevens on my radio show at www.blogtalkradio.com/changing lives. The topic of the day was stretching,
and how to stretch without injuring the body.
I did my research, preparing to bring Dr. Vera on the show,
so that I could at least sound like I knew a little something.
We purposely decided not to post pictures, or videos of her but to allow her to
talk us through the exercises, to visualize them.
By the second week of our discussion those visions had moved from my head
Into my desiring to act on the information.
Has that ever happened to you? I decided to do a stretching plan for 30 days, about 10 minutes a day.
I want you to know that I blew one day already this week, didn’t
want to make the effort.
Today is a better day. And this is the day I decided to let you in on what I’m doing.
The other day I helped carry some chairs at church and it felt good. I’m also up to 15 minutes for my stretching exercises. I can tell my endurance level is up.

Discouraged By Weight Loss Scams?
Weight loss advertisers seem to have the next best magic pill for those extra unwanted pounds, don’t they? We buy into the fast weight loss lies, believing that this will be the one, only to discover after spending our hard earned cash that we are right back where we started.
Why are you not getting any where? That is a question that you have asked yourself from one weight loss tip to the next.
I’ve wondered about that myself. I wanted the magic pill, formula, act, guardian weight angel, somebody to introduce me to the easy weight loss plan.
What is the secret to successful weight loss? Many make the decision to lose weight, buy the next weight loss plan and flop one more time. Those who succeed at dropping those unwanted pounds may sound something like this: “I decided it’s enough. I don’t want to be fat any more. It wasn’t healthy. I stuck with it. I was determined. I refused to go up another dress size. I wanted to look better.”
Something took place in that person’s mind. There was a mindset shift. That product or service was just a catalyst to help them get started, and they decided to go all the way.
Weight loss programs sell to your emotions, a vision of what you want to look like, the fantasy look. You buy into the product or service with a distorted vision of who you are and where you’re at. They sell you on this overnight success. That is why most people fail. Your mind is flooded with pictures of the overweight and then, poof, the slim model comes forth.
If they told you about hard work, endurance, persistence, they wouldn’t sell you on their product. They reel you in with the “I once was fat but look at me now.” Before you know it, you’re emptying your pockets again.
Your weight is a part of you. It has been a part of you, something you have home grown. Now it has made you unhappy.
Think about your unhappiness for a moment. As a matter of fact, take a pen and write down why you are unhappy with your weight. Be honest.
Now take a look at what you wrote. How does that make you feel? If you are feeling anything except love for what you are faced with, then you have the wrong thoughts, and you will never lose the weight because you have the wrong attitude.
Take responsibility for what you have done. It is not the food’s fault; it is not someone else’s fault, it is your fault.
This is the first step to dropping those unwanted pounds; confess your part and wake up to a new attitude.
