Let's Get the Weight Off

As many of my readers know I am a believer of personal fitness. I believe in fitness and maintaining a balance life through working out, eating healthy, and finding peace within. As the year comes closer to an end, I thought I would share some of my most popular fitness tips and or blogs to help you start the year off with some positive changes. I have a little saying, "It's not about the weight but about the heart. Take care of the heart and the weight will follow." That is so important when trying to get rid of anything that's weighing you down. Anything that is too heavy for you to carry will cause health problems such as; back pain, heart pain, lung pain, leg pain, feet pain, shoulder pain, head pain, joint point. Need I continue? I believe you have the picture.

As you prepare to start a new year think about how important your heart is to your body. If the heart stops, you stop. We can function with one lung but we can't function without a heart as we only have one. Here are a few things I suggest you to to prepare to let some of the weight go for 2016.

1. Make a conscious effort to eat right - portion size. That's what we call eating the serving size. If it's good, save some for later. Your taste buds don't need all of it, just a taste will do.
2. Move after you're done. Take time to exercise your heart. 15 minutes a day is better than none.
3. Don't buy it if you're not discipline - If you know ice cream is your strong man, then don't buy the man. If you are not discipline enough, then don't even put it in the house. That's like asking for trouble.
4. Relax - take time to sit and relax, enjoy a heart felt movie. Stop watching shows that makes your heart race and keep you up during the night.
5. Listen to worship music - music soothes the soul...try it.
6. Take time to breath - take deep breathes, clear your lungs and thoughts. If you can't fix it, let it go.
7. DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN.

Remember, you are the most valuable player in your life. Reward yourself everyday with the Most Valuable Player Award. You are worth it.
