Look Younger by Summer

Getting in shape fast - before summer gets here - is a realistic goal. “Yeah, right!” that evil little dude on my shoulder whispers in the wrong ear.

Don’t listen to the naysayers. You can go from where you are right now - to a much healthier, fitter you. And do it before summer gets here! Take action. Start in the direction of your goal today! Do you want to lose 20 pounds? Thats only two pounds a week for the next ten weeks! You can do that!

Drink one less soda a day. Walk a mile at lunch - every day! Take the stairs every chance you get. Cut out the white bread, donuts, and refined sugars. Start your day with a healthy breakfast and strive to burn a few more calories every day. ( Or, if you're like me - maybe quite a few! ) We CAN DO this! Eat more veggies. Less sugar. Commit to exercise more. And sit on the couch a little less.

We make the choices. We have a choice - go through another summer at the beach wearing baggy clothes to hide that flabby stomach - or start today. Make every day a masterpiece. Own your body. Master your cravings. Stay focused on your goal. And take action - every day.

Can you fit in some time to shoot some hoops this weekend with your children? Take the little ones out for a nice bike ride. Or even a healthy walk around the block. Make it race and pick up your heart rate. Put down the remote. Hide your phone and your Blackberry. Get up and leave your computer for just half an hour. Have fun while you improve your health.

You can look years younger and have lots more energy! The key is exercise and eating healthy.
