I’d still have to exercise.

Get up and move – hop, or do jumping jacks, or boogie with your baby. Get your blood flowing! And don’t take any of their menu suggestions (you know better).

In this age of super-sizing, we don’t even know what a portion is anymore. This week, make an effort to get your portions under control. Remember that a meal fits on a 9″ plate.

Take this quiz to test your portion size knowledge. The quiz includes information that’s not aligned with the Total Health Makeover®, but it has value in teaching portion size. Just remember – THM® avoids red meat and dairy, and recommends more veggie servings each day!

*Budget tip – smaller portions equal cost savings!

What can you do today to remember George and Abe on their birthday-celebration day?

For George –

• Brush your teeth. Avoid, or at least put off, wearing dentures.
• Tell the truth. Be a person of integrity.
• Wear something cherry red. Skip the pie.

For Abe –

• Schedule an eye exam. And don’t read by candlelight.
• Read a book. Choose one a topic you don’t know much about.
• Stand tall. Good posture looks good on everyone.

Coach Mary Beth had a beautiful message for our THM® on a Budget class today.

During this class we’ve been talking about money. I’ve heard it said that if you have enough to meet your needs and a little something left to share that you are among the word’s wealthiest. I know that we encompass many income levels but I’m sure that we all fit in this category. Even if it’s just a dollar to push into a tip jar when you pick up the morning paper I hope that you will consider paying it forward, and count yourself lucky to be able to do so.

The class continues through Friday, February 20th. Join now, and you’ll have access to all the class resources and tips.

What we see depends mainly on what we look for.

Marilu.com has a “Spirit Sunday” tradition. Take some time today to rest, to relax, to breathe. Enjoy a moment in nature, or a nap, or a yoga meditation, or a prayer. Just take a little time out.

I always find it odd that we set aside only one day a year for love. Most of us are conceived in love, sense it immediately upon arrival, and, with our first crush, have experienced almost every aspect of love there is…. I guess we’d go crazy if we celebrated love more than one day a year, so let’s make sure that day is worth it.
