2010 Let's Begin!




Happy New Years Eve!


Today we end "Shine in 2009" to start "2010 Let's Begin"
Time to start over and add to our personal growth, and become who we want to become.

2010 is within!

I will set my goals and inspirations on improving my life, myself, adding quality to my life to make my destiny the absolute best.

Praise God - spend more time in the word

Stay in the zone - in the moment not multi-tasking


Face my fears - breath and visualize the outcome


Increase my relationships - bond more by opening up even if it hurts


Change my mental programming - listen to great leaders over and over again until it is MY programming


Help others - stay motivated and feel good about themselves and let them know I care


Let go of past - today is a new day, a present

Remain in action mode - as long as I am moving forward I am not moving backwards or stagnant


Find mentors - keep close to those that I can grow and learn from that are where I want to be at


Take time to reflect - what I did, how I can do it better, and who can help me where I am lacking


Give praise - find good things about others and praise them for what makes them special


Empathy - learn to do this and understand the true meaning of it


Control - don't take control of situations that are not mine to control, stop fixing and giving the answers, instead just listen


Grow - do something new each month I have never done before



2010 Let's begin!

Can the Taco Bell Diet work?



The new Taco Bell Drive-Thru diet....can it work?

http://www.examiner.com/x-28813-St-Louis-Fitness-Trends-Examiner

Lets think about 54 pounds = 2 years = 27lb a year.

That would mean cutting 250 calories per day. 500 calories x 7 days a week = 3500 = 1lb.

3500 per week = 1lb x 52 weeks per year = 52lb per year.

So that would mean she would have to cut just half of that per year to equal 2 yr 52lb loss, and that could be done very easy with a few more adjustments getting her to 54lb loss.

Just 2 sodas at 20 oz would cover that. 120 per serving x 2 = 240. Take away just 10 more calories by an exta taking the stairs or a few less fries, or skip a bag of chips and your there.

Im just wondering what kind of workout she does......yes it could work.
