"Some day the medical profession will wake up and realize that unresolved emotional issues are the main cause of 85% of all illnesses. When they do, EFT will be one of their primary healing tools .... as it is for me."

How many food choices do you make every day? MSNBC reports we make 200 food choices a day! You would think with making that many choices today we would have better odds at making healthier choices. With obesity rates on the rise, it's obvious most Americans are NOT making good choices when it comes to putting things in their mouths.
It's not that we need to stop enjoying what we're eating - it's that we need to enjoy making healthier choices so we enjoy life more! What we eat affects how we feel, how we deal with stress, and how much energy we have.
Changing how we view our food and what is good vs what is good for us is ultra important if we expect to make a lifestyle change that can sustain permanent results. Really our relationship with food is what we need to focus on - why do we crave doughnuts and pastrys instead of carrots or nuts? Is it really that we don't like carrots or nuts, or is it the memories or special occasions when we got doughnuts or pastrys that we REALLY like about them?
I was just on a call with The Clearing Cure, where we worked on changing the emotions so they don't trigger the cravings so frequently.
Beginner's Schedule for Walking
Having a hard time getting started? Try following this beginner schedule. Warm up and cool down times are included in the scheduled minutes. Be sure to stretch after your walks.
Download and print a copy of this chart.
It is important that you are consistent with your workout. Consistency will help you develop a new habit.
The starting day for this schedule can be any day. Just keep the easy and hard days in the same order. If you are particularly tired during one week, don't increase your workout time. Use the previous week's schedule instead.
You may want to add another activity or two in order to keep things interesting and to cross train your muscles. If you do so, choose one of the easier days (Sunday or Wednesday) for this. One suggested schedule: take Sunday off and cross train on Wednesday. It is wise to wait until you've developed the habit of daily exercise before you change your routine.
You will feel tired and may experience some muscles soreness when you begin. This is normal. Don't let it keep you from walking. However, if you are in pain, stop your work out immediately and make an appointment to see your physician.
Note: If you have any chronic health problems you should get your physician's approval before beginning any fitness program.

Illinois is increasing tax on many household items like candy, soda, tooth paste, liquor - even shampoo. I've seen articles on KSL where they're suggesting a sugar tax in Utah.
Have you seen reports on the sugar consumption in Utah? Will a tax on sugar help with the obesity rates?
Wouldn’t it be great to find a program (not a ‘diet’ to follow) that teaches you how to not only lose your weight but shows you how to keep it off so you never need to lose weight again? Wouldn’t it also be great if you could follow a program in the privacy of your own home?
