🍎 Today’s Health Question ~ Want to Lose Weight? Successful Weight Loss Do This
Move the Body Everyday
No question about it, cardiovascular conditioning (ideally, every day) keeps not only our hearts but also our bodies fit. The most comprehensive study of long-term weight loss ever conducted, the National Weight Control Registry, found that the vast majority of its 4,500 successful losers averaged about 60 minutes of moderate aerobic exercise, like brisk walking, every day. The Registry participants lost, on average, 66 pounds and kept them off during the entire six-year study. Types of aerobic exercise include walking, rowing, aerobic dancing, cross-country skiing, jogging, stair climbing, swimming, and bicycling – anything, in short, that revs ups your heart rate, moving your large muscles in a continuous rhythmic manner.

🌾 Today’s Poem ~ Risk
Risk
Author Unknown
To laugh is to risk appearing a fool
To weep is to risk appearing sentimental
To reach out for another is to risk involvement
To expose your feelings is to risk
exposing your true self
To place your ideal, your dreams before a crowd
is to risk their loss
To love is to risk not being loved in return
To live is to risk dying
To hope is to risk despair
To try is to risk failure
Yet risks must be taken
Because the greatest hazard in life is risking
NOTHING
The person who risks nothing
Does nothing
Has nothing
Is nothing
Self-realisation is harder than
Self Sacrifice
🤗 A Better Life ~ Don’t Let a Setback Stop You
A New Year’s resolution doesn’t have to be accomplished in a week, or a month. Take it slow. Don’t let setbacks keep you back. Start again, again, and again. One day, you’ll give yourself a heartfelt cheer. Never Quit.

“It’s none of their business that you have to learn how to write. Let them think you were born that way.”
