Approach Shots

Today is the third (and final) day of the Women's Club Championship golf tournament at South Hills Country Club.  I have the privilege and honor of being a participant.  I am in the third flight (there are three flights in descending order of handicap range) and so far I do believe I am in last place.  But NONETHELESS, I am happy to even qualify for such a prestigious event.  I played in it last year and my improvement is VAST!!  This July will mark the end of my second year of of playing golf and it has been an extraordinary journey - everything from learning "the ropes" of the process of booking tee times, club storage, rules & regulations, course edicate, the whole "social" network of my lady golfers with whom I have become networked, and of course learning how to make contact with that little tiny ball that sits there glaring at me....laughing while I'm crying.  Tough, tough game!!  I get frustrated with myself that my progress has (in my opinion) been slow, but COME ON!!!!  I've gone from a 49 handicap to a 35 in less than two years!!  That means my handicap has dropped 7 points each year - at this rate, next year at this time I will be a 28 hcp, and the year after (2014) I will be a 21 hcp....so what's so wrong with that?!?!?  Rome was not built in a day!!  Success at anything takes time, work, perseverance, drive, desire and....did I mention WORK!!  Ergo developing successful, lifetime weight management skills (you knew where I was going with this didn't you?)........

If you've been beating yourself up because you feel your progress or "success" is too slow - or non-existent, lighten up, sit back and analyze your approach.  Are you giving your plan to lose weight and keep it off time?  Have you been working at it everyday, every minute?  Do you have an attitude of perseverance and drive?  Do you even have the desire to take control of your weight?  Have you been visualizing yourself slender, fit and comfortable in your own skin?

Life is too short to be fat.......AND you have control of Becoming the person you know you can be.  Dig in, expect some pain and discomfort, keep driving forward and GO GET that inner strength that is deep WiTHIN You Now!®......  If I can do it - You can do it......

Last tip of the day -  If you don't golf, don't start.  It's expensive, time consuming and WAY TOO DIFFICULT!!  Put your walking shoes on and get moving instead - you will not regret this decision :)))  (Wish me luck today - tee time 9:32am).....

Exercise is great....yadda, yadda...BUT if ya wanna lose weight ya gotta.....

YES...I AGREE....EXERCISE IS THE ULTIMATE HEALTH SOLUTION AND EVERYONE SHOULD DO IT EVERYDAY......BUT.....if you want to lose weight and keep it off you must do the following: 

• Learn to expect, identify and fight "the urge" when it rears its ugly head and it will no matter how AMAZING your food plan.
• Learn to ignore, shut out and shut down the outside influences that want you to fail (Friendly Fire):  Friends, Family, and Strangers who are fat and miserable themselves and attempt to trip you up by telling you things such as:  "You're too thin already", "You look great the way you are", and the most famous:  "You've gotta treat yourself sometime"... These tactics may or may not be intentional on their part but WHO CARES????  IGNORE, be thin and smile as they sit there stuffed into their size 10 jeans and their loose fitting tops that they think are hiding their pot bellies, muffin tops and love handles.
• Learn to stay focused every minute, every day, every week, every month, every passing year....know that "it" never ends and everyday brings an entire set of new challenges.
• Learn to Become "goal oriented".....use self hypnosis, visual imagery and heavy day dreaming to get a picture of the "YOU" that you can and will Become....

Science has proven that those who imagine success - achieve success.

Quit excusing your fat rolls, quit hiding your cellulite, start looking great and feeling great - If I can do it.....YOU can do it!

Another Monday

Notice how Mondays seem to crop up every seven days or so?  Boring....boring.  Don't let the first day of the work week get you down.  Be thankful that you have a job and a paycheck and another "structured" day....let Monday work FOR you - not against you.  Plan ahead for Tuesday - another opportunity for success. 

Think as FAR in advance as you can possibly think when it comes to ingestion of food.  Plan for today, tomorrow and every Monday to come.  We are so blessed to be alive, we re so blessed to have the gift of life.  Take care of YOUR life by eating healthfully, planning ahead, fighting the "urge" head on and Becoming the Person you know you can be.

Be in Charge of YOUR Behavior -  YOU are in charge.  Tell your opposers to "talk to the hand"....
