Fat and Fires

Crap! Woke up this morning with mild headache, sore throat, stuffy nose and such. Got fires near us so, breathing smoke from two directions.

We saw the "Morris Fire" just as it was beginning on Tuesday when we came down from Big Bear Lake. The La Canada/Flintridge fire began yesterday afternoon. The first is only 10% contained; the second, about 20%. As long as the winds stay down, they should get a handle on them. The temps have been VERY high with very low humidity. I'd hate to be… Continue

6 Keys to Starting a Business on a Budget (or revitalizing the one you have)

Are you Making Ends Meet?

If not or if you're tired of doing what you're doing, why not bypass the regular job market if you're having trouble and start up your own business?

No it's not easy to start up a business and yes you need to have some level of motivation and determination in order to be successful.

However there are so many business models that can be entered into with little to no start up funds - some online, some offline - the opportunities… Continue

We're Back and I'm SORE!!!

Wow! Whoulda thunk that after all the walking I do, walking down a lil bitty mountain would cause as much pain in my calves as I have! Sheesh! I'm walking like Lurch!

They started hurting yesterday morning; pretty bad today. Long as I'm walking (after the first few minutes) I'm o.k. Sit for any length of time and yowza!!!

What that tells me is, not that I need to do MORE necessarily, just to get up in the local hills because, when we go up there next month, I want to do it… Continue

Water - The Miracle Cure?

Did you know that:

WATER very well could be The Miracle Cure for your health needs?

Water is the single most important nutrient we give our bodies. We can live up to 7 weeks without food, but did you know that we can only live 3 to 5 days without water? Why? Because our body and each of our organs are dependent upon water.

God created our bodies like finely tuned machines created with such precision that it still boggles the minds of… Continue

PRESSIN’ IN…What you cannot change WILL change you.

The runner’s stretch: Have you ever witnessed an athlete stretching in this way? If you had not known what she was doing it would appear as though she was trying to push that tree over. As ridiculous as that may sound, many of us try to do just that in our own lives. Seemingly we press into situations and circumstances of life with the purpose and motive of making them move. We exert all of our energy in trying to change situations and… Continue

Changing Up ... for Today

Yesterday, got up about 4:45 and was out the door by 5 a.m. Had done 8,759 steps by 7:12 so, IF my focus was on 10,000 steps, wouldn't take much more. Didn't go out walking again yet, what I did at home brought me to 10,455. Shows me I don't sit as much as I sometimes think I do.

This morning, thought I'd change up. Fitness is not just about cardio. It's about strength, balance, flexibility as well. I've got all the dvd's yet, one of my favorites is Turbo Jam. Went down to the… Continue

So! Got up, got on the 'puter for the mundane daily stuff, got dressed got out and WALKED! Fit or Fat??? My choice! Put in over 7,000 steps so far! The tapping has certainly helped make it easier. It's like, no matter what the… Continue

Learn by My mistake

I went to Florida for a missions trip. Our group became friends with this guy there. I took one look at him and thought. "i don't want him to be around me." so everytime I saw him I went the opposite way because he scared me.

We went to service that night and the sermon was about One More. The reading came from Luke 15.

Everyone in heaven rejoices when one comes to know Him. not just one person in Heaven. but Everyone. That we should preach the gospel to everyone. and not just the… Continue

Your Opinion/Experience on This?

Since I've been really looking at the Fat to Fit program, movement and working/playing with the "Tap Into Your Ideal Weight" program, I've come to realize how "counting calories" really has very little to do with eliminating excess weight.

Yesterday, I read an online article from Time magazine on "Why Exercise Won't Make You This". Makes total sense to me.

One statement made in the article is, "... while it's true that exercise burns… Continue

10,000 a Day, the LOA and Gaining Understanding

Got in over 10,500 yesterday. Don’t know who chose that particular number yet, to get that many a day takes some persistence, I’ll tell ya! Got in about 8,000 yesterday morning during my first walk ~ the other 2,000 is easy.

While I was walking I was feeling how the front of my thighs are doing. Seems I’m getting some muscle there.

Reminded me of when I went to Europe in the 70’s with a former boyfriend. We had $300 for 3 weeks in England, France and Spain. Not a lot of… Continue

4 a.m. and All is Well in My World

Got in over 10,000 steps yesterday. Went out for an a.m. walk, then, in the early evening, needed to go to the bank, so, walked there. That completed the steps easily.

While out walking, I was thinking about my classes and what the women in the class had said. When I got home, I emailed them more ideas and information so they'll stay connected. Cannot wait for us to come together again to see/hear what progress has been made.

Going to call… Continue
