I can remember when I was a child, my Mother always use to tell me that she was going to start her diet on Monday. Was it because that was the beginning of the week, signalling a new start? This went
on for months until she decided to just do it now, this moment. I love my Mom, and we had alot of laughs thinking back on those many many dreaded Mondays. If you start now, in the moment, with the next piece of food or drink you put in your mouth, we can all get over the mindset of, "I will wait till Monday."
So then, why is it every new year when the clock strikes midnight we think, "Time to start my weight loss resolution for the year?" Are we not happy with ourselves or the way we look? Do we want to look good for someone else? Maybe, "This time I want to be healthier!" What ever your reason for losing weight, I am puzzled why January is the biggest month to start losing weight. We need to change that mind set and think, "I 'm going to lose weight or get healthier now, this moment!" Take the emotions out of it and do it!
This moment I can:
1. As you look in your refrigerator or cupboard, pick something to eat that isn't white.
2. My favorite...I eat off of smaller colorful plates. It looks full and appealing to the eye, while eating less calories.
3. Hungry for something sweet? Eat a miniature candy bar.
4. Want something salty and crunchy? Wheat or rye bread sticks, 100 calorie popcorn, or even a mini size bag of chips or pretzels will fill your craving.
5. Another favorite of mine this time of year are clementine oranges. They are just the right size and very sweet...yum! Eat one before a meal and you won't eat as much.
6. You have heard this before...eat smaller meals 5 to 6 times a day. It really works to keep your blood sugar more stabilized without that starving sluggish feeling.
7. Have you tried pumpkin seeds for an afternoon snack? Another crunch/salty craving satisfied.
8. Beans...add kidney or black beans to your salads. Or try fat free refried beans with melted cheese on top. This a very good source of protein and fills you up faster.
9. Color your world! Just like we all love the colors, sites and sounds of the world around us, our body loves colors too. Check out Active Elegance "Free" nutrition assessment to see if you are getting enough colors in your diet.
10. Concluding my top 10...eat what you want but with a twist! Get a one cup measuring cup and eat what you want that will "only" fit in the cup. This only applies to your "main" course of each meal. You can eat all you want of fruits and veggies.
Every little step you take in the "Moment" will help you lose weight and get healthier. Also, don't forget to drink water. Everytime I go to the sink to wash my hands, do dishes etc...I drink a little water.
**Always make sure to consult with your doctor before you make any changes to your diet!

Freeflys Free Samples
I just received my free samples of Aveeno shampoo, prilosec, and breathe right strips. I was skeptical at first, especially when it says you will get your samples in 3 to 4 weeks. Mine came in about two weeks. Yes, they are small, but there is enough samples to see if you would use them in the future and purchase them. It was worth the few minutes to sign up for the products I wanted. Go to Freeflys to get your free samples, coupons and more.
I love Amazon.com. This holiday season I purchased half of my Christmas gifts there. You can find great deals on almost anything. I even purchased my son's college books at Amazon. Of course, most everyone knows they sell books, dvd's, cd's
and lots of electronics. But did you know they sell home products, tools for the guys, including snowblowers? If you like to save, then visit amazon. They have some year end deals going on now! Also check out the Amazon Coupons.

As I was watching a favorite shopping network last night, a familiar face came on the screen. I have seen him on T.V. before or by passed him on infomercials. Now, here he is on this shopping channel. People are always trying to sell us "their motivational products" saying its the best. But, is it really? They sure make you think it is...hey this guy convinced a president, a hollywood director, a retired talk show host, actors, and many others like you and me. I took note of what he was saying, was impressed, motivated, and really listened. It seemed to make sense and he was very convinceing. But, do I want to pay the $200.00 plus to get his Cds, Dvd, and Books? Well, I wish I could, but its over my budget at the moment. Who is this guy? You have heard of him before, Tony Robbins. He sure does a great job of getting you excited about changes you can make now, life strategies and goals for your future. So, I took to amazon to find some cheaper versions of what was being offered and some starter books, cd's,and downloads. "The Stress Free You" download is FREE!
