THE PAIN OF DISCIPLINE OR THE PAIN OF REGRET, YOU CHOOSE!

Main Purpose of this blog!

This blog is for you! Our family and friends who need a little extra motivation when it comes to eating healthy and exercising. Most of you have seen the popular TV series The Biggest Loser and have noted the life changing events that have occured. We are going to do our own version of the biggest loser only we are calling it The Healthy Habits Challenge. If you are interested we are asking that you send 20 dollars to my cute mom Linda Brindley Chipman asap. The challenge will begin on Monday, January 10th, 2011 and goes for 8 weeks which means it will end Sunday, March 6th. The more who participate, the more money their will be in the pot. At 20 dollars each, it is going to add up fast, but all money aside we really want to use this blog as a place where we can post our progress and encourage each other with ideas of what we are doing to keep fit and healthy. Please refer to the "log in" information (on side bar) so you can post your ideas. Remember to read the rules carefully (on the side bar) as well as the Healthy Habits Contract (first post). Good Luck Everyone!

Live in Thanksgiving Daily!

Here are just a few thoughts that I wanted to share. Doing these really helps keep me focused and uplifted during the day. Focusing on just one or two daily really gives me a mental, spiritual and physical boost...try them! I made them into a bookmark so that I can be reminded of them every day!

1. Take a 10-30 minute walk every day. And while you walk, smile. It is the ultimate antidepressant!

2. Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day. Talk to God about what's going on in your life.

3. When you wake up in the morning complete the following statement, 'My purpose is to_________today. I am thankful for_____________.

4. Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and less food that is manufactured in plants.

5. Drink plenty of water. Eat blueberries, wild Alaskan Salmon, broccoli, almonds and walnuts.

6. Try to make at least 3 people smile each day.

7. Don't wast your precious energy on gossip, vampires, politics, issues of the past, negative thoughts or things that you cannot control. Instead invest your energy in the positive precious moment.

8. Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a college kid with a maxed out credit card.

9. Life isn't fair, but it's still good!

10. Life is too short to wast time hating anyone.

11. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.

12. You are not so important that you have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.

13. Make peace with your past so it doesn't spoil the present.

14. Don't ever compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.

15. No one is in charge of your happiness except you.

16. Frame every so-called disaster with these words: 'In five years will this really matter?'

17. Forgive everyone for everything.

18. What other people think of you is none of your business!

19. GOD heals everything-but you have to ask him.

20. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.

21. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick, your family and friends will. Stay in touch.

22. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.

23. Each night before you go to bed complete the following statements: I am Thankful for__________Today I accomplished_____________________.

24. Remember that you are too blessed to be stressed.

25. When you are feeling down, start listing your many blessings. You'll be smiling before you know it!
