Weight Loss Tips

Lots of us try to lose weight and find it very difficult. We seem to start off with a loss, and then we put the pounds back on. One of the reasons is that we don't fully understand what to do to succeed. Here are 5 tips to overcome this challenge. 1) 3,500 calories equals 1 pound, so if you want to lose 2 pounds a week you have to reduce your calories by 7,000, or 1,000 a day. Most of us cannot cut back by this much food per day, so exercise is a MUST. 2) How much time are you giving yourself to succeed? We all need to be patient and realistic with our goals, and with OURSELVES. 3) The Masters say it takes 100 days to change a habit, including a few set backs along the way. 4) Do not skip breakfast, and pay close attention to what you DRINK. 5) The good news is that one of the few things in life that we really can control is WHAT WE PUT INTO OUR MOUTHS! Don't you agree?? Good luck on this very important health issue.

Tai chi thought of the week:
There is no failure, only different outcomes. Remember, what the caterpillar calls the end, the Master calls a butterfly.

Stay centered, enjoy the day, and be careful out there.
