TRY, TRY, TRY BABY

I have talked about this subject once a few years ago, but I feel the need to discuss it once again. Every year I get thousands and thousands of letters that sound like this.

, I`m not losing weight, and I`m trying. I try to eat healthy when I go out with my husband, but I end up not making the wisest of choices. I try to shop healthy, but I always seem to go down the wrong aisles. I try to get my exercise in. I`ve even tried to write down what time I would do it, but it always seems I am running late the whole day and never get around to working out. I try to stay away from the sodas, but I keep them in the house for the kids, and I love them just as much as they do. As you can see, I am trying, and I`m just not dropping any weight. Nothing I`m doing seems to work.

I`ve always been here to keep telling you to keep trying, haven`t I? You know, if you don`t succeed at first, try, try, try again! There has to be a point in your life where you start "doing" and not just "trying." Trying means you attempted to do something, but you did not follow through. When you go out to a restaurant, don`t just try to order the right foods… order the right foods! You can do it! When you go to the supermarket, don`t just try to pick up the healthiest choices… pick up the healthiest choices! You can do it! And when you so desperately want a soda, don`t just try not to drink one… don`t drink one! You can do it! And as far as exercise goes, don`t just try to fit it in… fit it in! You can do it!

Over the years, I have told you millions of times that you can do anything you put your mind to! And when the mind locks in that it`s doing something positive, the body soon follows. Lock in your mind your goals today. Go over them and tell yourself you will do what it takes to reach them!

It`s a busy week for me. I`m going to Connecticut to teach a big class, and then I head to Philadelphia for the premiere of my new steamer! Start to DO today!

Love,
