Health and Nutrition That Is AboveNBeyond

This is a topic that effects nearly everyone in some way or another including myself. Motivation is the fire that gets one into action no matter the subject. Without motivation, nothing happens.
There can be more to Motivation than just the word:
M..Making the decision to get started
O..On going life style / not a diet
T..Training or some exercise, helps burn fat
I..Invest in yourself for a healthier You
V..Victory can be yours with consistent and sustained efforts
A..Action taken today can pay huge dividends tomorrow.
T..Testing yourself by pushing your boundries
I..Input….You are what you eat, you heard that before
O..Output….Your results in the lifestyle you choose
N..Nutritional needs met by a new lifestyle

Staying the course will get you closer to your goals and eventually you’ll make the shot!

While one could come up with other meanings using the letters from motivation, you can see the meaning of it. Whether it be weight loss, skin care, or some other personal topic, motivation can play an influential role in what you decide. It’s something though, when we think of investing, we rarely think of investing in ourselves. It’s usually stocks or bonds or something.

My wife and I have been bouncing back and fourth with our weight loss efforts. This has been true up until near the end of December 2008. Something clicked this time or at least we appear to be more focused and determined then ever before. Our goals are similar but different but our determination is the same. As I mentioned, something has clicked this time. We seem to be having better success this time and we even seem to be enjoying our efforts. I’ve lost 8 pounds so far and my wife has lost somewhere around 12 pounds.

No, sorry, this picture is not me or anyone I know, but, just to show you what can motivate someone to get into action. According to a BMI that I did on myself recently, I’m considered overweight. At the time of this post I am at 180 pounds and loving it!

Until you have all of the following in order, you’ll not get far with your weight loss efforts:
1. Portion Control
2. Determination / will power
3. Focus

Now finally the benefits:

1. Speed – Though, you don’t have to be a runner like me to appreciate this one.
2. Better health – Feeling better, and perhaps avoid health problems
3. Save money – You could possibly avoid unforeseen medical bills and who knows what else.
4. Improved self image – We all look and feel better without all that extra baggage.

I could go on listing reasons why loosing weight is good for you, but, you get the picture.

In conclusion, I’m thinking of a mathematical equation to apply to this topic:

H = M – W (Health = Mass – Weight) Or if you are a runner,
S = M – W (Speed = Mass – Weight)

Have a great day!

Since the end of December 2008, My wife and I have been actively pursuing a serious weight loss venture. As of this morning I have lost exactly 8 pounds. YES! Portion Control and Herbalife ROCKS!! Yo gotta do it!
