May 19, 2010- ALOHA!

Waking up, practicing my morning yoga, my ipod randomly turns on and begins playing a segment from "The Secret". It plays: "You're job is you", and turns off.

The idea: If you care for yourself first (sleep, drink MORE water, move and sweat daily, stretch, focus on your dreams and goals) you'll be healthier and happier. And we have all heard, "you must be happy before you can make anyone else happy" right? Take time for yourself, make yourself happy first so that you may be most productive!

"It is the greatest of all mistakes to do nothing because you can only do little - do what you can". ~Sydney Smith

May 14, 2010- COD- Challenge of the Day

mmmm...num num num num num (thank you Lindsay Grover)

OH blogs are fun

The COD- Challenge of the Day for 5/14/10

Have you ever had a really, really bad eating day? You know, the kind that makes you say...well, not good things. The kind of day, that makes you remorseful, regretful, and disappointed?

It's going to be OK. I promise.

We must look to life's "little victories" as the true celebrations of each successful day.


The next time you feel out of control, lost, or "in the hole", STOP right there. THAT was your bad meal. The day is not lost. You have another chance. This is your opportunity to recognize where you want to be, and where you have been. Contrast is needed to appreciate the moments to be cherished, and the moments to let go of.

Philosophical rant over. The point is that you ARE in control now.

Your challenge is to allow yourself two moments:
1. Recognition of your wanting to take control.
2. Deciding that this is YOUR moment, and making a better decision for the next time you sit down to eat. Chew every bite, savior every taste, go for a walk immediately after and feel blessed that you have the free will to do so.

Best,
Kali
