The LIfebuilder's Creed

Today is the most important day of my life.
Yesterday with its successes and victories, struggles and failures
is gone forever.
The past is the past.
Done.
Finished.

I cannot relive it. I cannot go back and change it.
But I will learn from it and improve my Today.

Today. This moment. NOW.
It is God's gift to me, and it is all that I have.

Tomorow with all its joys and sorrows, triumphs and troubles
isnt here yet.

Indeed tomorow may never come.
Therefore, I will not worry about tomorrow.

Today is what God has entrusted to me.
It is all that I have. I will do my best in it.
I will demonstrate the best of me in it-
my character, giftedness and abilities-
to my family, my friends clients and associates.

I will identify those things that are most important
to do TODAY,
and those things I will do until they are done
I will look back with satisfaction at
that which I have accomplished.

Then, only then will I plan my tomorow,
Looking to improve upon Today, with God's help.

Then I shall sleep in peace. Content

How to watch TV better...

1. Drink water - While youre mind is being occupied by the TV, you wont care as much about satisfying your taste buds, so it should be easy to properly hydrate.

2. Eat nuts - walnuts, hazelnuts and almonds are best. The monosaturated fats in them keep your ateries clear and up your serotonin- wich improves mood.

3. Exert yourself - Do ten pushups during every commercial break. Youll take advantage of of boring dowtime and reduce the amount of TV you watch.

4. Stretch - take time do some static stretching to keep your muscles from stiffening, chances are you sit enough at work already.

End of Summer, back to work... special rates.

So another summer is coming to an end. Rented house at the beach, done. Kids, back to school. The weather, cooling down, and reality that you just gained 3-8lbs of fat is starting to sink in...

We are here to help to help you get back in shape and feeling great, and offering an incredible special package to help get you started to reaching (or re-reaching) your fitness goals.

From now until November 1st, 2009 - you can get one free fitness and health assessment, a 10- pack of 1hr personal training assessments and nutritional consulting for $650. This fee of $650 can be broken down into 2 payments.

Because this is such a discounted rate, and I want it to used to effectively jump start your fitness, the ten sessions need to be used over the course of 7 weeks. You will be best served to train twice a week, for 5 weeks - the extra 2 weeks I've added is to provide a buffer, if you are going on vacation or if something serious comes up.

There really is no better time than right now to take control of life. Start feeling and looking great today!
