Sounds crazy at first I know – how does being a good planner relate to losing weight, getting in shape and keeping it off?

Nutrition Lesson – LET’S GET READY FOR SUMMER BABY

Image
What’s up my good people, Sorry I have been a little quiet recently. 3 months into the new year and my time table is full already. One of the reasons for being so busy is that I’ve started the execution of my 5 year plan to become a millionaire. Yep, that’s right. I really believe I can do it if I continue to work smart, stay dedicated and to keep trying. A lot of people talk the talk, but you guys know what I’m about… The way I see it is, I’m 25 now and I ain’t getting any younger. So if I’m really going to try and achieve ANYTHING in life, I may as well start now using whatever resources I can get my hands on and stop with the excuses and procrastinating.

All I ask from you guys in exchange for this blog is to project good thoughts out there for me and my 5 year pl...

But I saw it, and I knew what he must be feeling. And while he was proud of his black stripe, he wasted no time asking, “What can I do to earn my blue stripe?” Nice!

HIYA!!! Cute and innocent? Sure. A Different Message But what if the message isn’t about a clean bathroom? What if the message is about YOU? What if the message is about your health, fitness, self-esteem, and body image? The cuteness starts to fade, doesn’t it? It’s not cute when you are led to believe that fitness what you see on the cover of a fitness or fashion magazine when those images have been cropped, cut, and airbrushed beyond belief.
