“Always bear in mind that your own resolution to success is more important than any other one thing.”- Abraham Lincoln
Now that’s a comforting thought. It means we really are in control and responsible for what we achieve in life.

Have you ever heard you’re the sum total of the 5 people you hang around with most? Are any of those people stress mongers?
You don’t need any more stress in your life, agreed? So sometimes we have to distance ourselves from people we may love, but place more stress on us, or change the relationship dynamics. How? Try this: more »

Yes, it’s the dreaded push-up. But wait, before you say you “hate it”, think about this. That which does not kills you makes you _________. Yes, stronger, and that’s the point of a push-up. It will make you physically and mentally stronger so you can get the things you have to fight for in life.
Don’t worry if you can’t even do one now. I have clients who started with 1 push-up against the wall, progressed to 10 knee push-ups (Jane is doing it above from my 5 Minutes to Fitness+ DVD) and finally, 10 regular push-ups, and they are stronger and fitter than they’ve ever been.
How did a push-up help get me on QVC? I took one of the toughest exercises in my 5 Minutes to Fitness+ core exercise program DVD and for 2 years, every time I did my push-ups I thought about how nothing would stop me from getting my DVD on QVC. The strangest thing happened. It worked

I made this salad for lunch the other day and every time I do I can’t believe how great it tastes! What makes this more incredible is I grew up on fast food and a salad with salmon would have have been pushed aside in lieu of a double whopper. Anything is possible in life so never say never.
Here’s how to make your salad. BTW- I made it for under $5 and its about 300 cals:
Enjoy!

In 1990 I was 60 lbs heavier than I am today, I remember wanting to lose weight but I didn’t fully believe I could. In other words I didn’t believe I could get what I want.
That’s a huge conflict for the brain to handle and it will never let you get what you want- aka weight loss. That’s why I would lose and gain weight for several years before finally keeping it off. Let me explain.
When you want something, like weight loss, that you don’t believe you can have, your mind will initiate behaviors to help you lose weight initially, because that’s what you want. You might lose some or all your weight, but then something bizarre happens. You start to sabotage yourself by eating more, exercising less, or both. Why? Because what we believe will ultimately prevail over what we want.
Soooooo……… What do you want? And more importantly what do you believe is possible?
Make sure you believe you can get what you want or you’ll be frustrated and continually sabotage yourself. When I aligned what I wanted with what I believed, I lost the weight, kept it off, and fulfilled many of my dreams. I want you do do the same thing.
