Hi,

Welcome to all of our new subscribers, I'm glad you're here. To all of our old subscribers I'm glad you're here too!

I hope everyone is having a good week. I know amidst the ice and rain and sleet and snow (it can't make up its mind), I took some time out  to walk at the local community center and shoot some hoops with my kids. I want to make sure I get some extra exercise every week like that to make up for winter's doldrums.

Weight Watchers is having some great specials to help you lose weight. Their program is great for offering a program you can live with every day and still be able to eat the food you enjoy. Get FREE OFFERS from Weight Watchers®. Lose weight. Get healthy. Stick with it!

Here's a great plan to help you have a good week each and every week:

1. Set yourself a action goal. Think about a goal that you want to achieve for the coming week in regards to your weight loss program.

2. Make sure it is a positive statement. Say "I will exercise 10 minutes per day"  instead of saying "I will not skip exercising this week."

3. The goal should be within the capabilities of your lifestyle. Don't set yourself a goal of exercising an hour per day if you don't have the extra time in your schedule.

4. You should have complete control over whether you can achieve it or not. For example don't set a goal that you will lose 8 pounds in one week because there are too many variables out of your control.

My goal for the week is: " I will drink at least 6 glasses of water per day." Make yourself a goal, focus on your goal and you will have a good week.

Until next week...stay on your plan and stay healthy!

Easy Tip Of The Week:

Pick a weight loss program that works with your lifestyle. If it feels too extreme or like too much of a stretch, then it won't work for you.

Exercise

An increase in physical activity is an important part of your weight management program. Physical activity improves your muscle/fat ratio - thus raising metabolism for easier weight management - and boosts your motivation to maintain the weight you lose.
