close Kept Secrets to Weight Loss Lesson #16

Close Kept Secrets to Weight Loss Lesson #16

Today is the most wonderful day! We have gifts right in front
of us and we are ready to grab those gifts and say WAHOO! Look
around you at your extraordinary treasures.

For my 50th birthday, my nieces gave me a CD by Tim McGraw
entitled Live Like You Were Dying. They paid me a wonderful
compliment and said, “Aunt Tami, you’re the one we think of who
is living like you were dying.” What a powerful message to me as
I blast that song every morning to rev up my energy. Of course,
picturing Tim in those tight jeans helps!

Remember I used to live in such deep doo doo with fear and
worry. Through daily practice my connection to God becomes
clearer–it’s corrosion free. It takes practice to transcend
fear and putting those daily activities in place to help bring
in the positives. Want to have some fun with your inner child?
Sticking your tongue out at fear does help. So let’s practice.
Stick out your tongue and face your fears and shout, “You’re not
the boss of me.” It’s kind of hard to have your tongue hanging
out while talking but it sure feels good, doesn’t it?

I am reprinting some lines from the song so you can breathe in
the message.

Live Like You Were Dying

He said, “I was in my early forties, with a lot of life before
me, When a moment came that stopped me on a dime. And I spent
most of the next days looking at the x-rays And talking “bout
the options, talking “bout sweet time.”

And I asked him when it sank in That this might really be the
end. “How’s it hit you when you get that kind of news? Man
what’d you do?” He said,

“I went sky diving; I went rocky mountain climbing; I went two
point seven seconds on a bull named Fumanchu. And I loved
deeper, and I spoke sweeter. And I gave forgiveness I’d been
denying.” And he said, “Someday I hope you get the chance To
live like you were dying.”

He said, “I was finally the husband that most the time I wasn’t.
And I became a friend a friend would like to have. And all ‘a
sudden going fishin’ wasn’t such an imposition And I went three
times that year I lost my dad. And I finally read the good book
and I took a good long look

Powerful message, right? So what are you going to do? Tell a
friend you love him or her. Call a family member whom you
haven’t forgiven and forgive. Do something nice for your
neighbor. Ready to ride the bull? Just for today, “Live Like You
Were Dying!”

Love and hugs,

How To Lose Weight From A Low Carbohydrate Diet Plan

With the sudden boom of dieting in the country, different diet programs have been introduced in the country. Although many experts believe that proper exercise and not only diet can lose those pounds in a healthy way, many people still believe in the power of diet programs and diet plans. One of the most controversial kinds of diet plans is the low-carbohydrate diet program, which focuses on the reduction of carbohydrate consumption in the body.

According to the theory, when carbohydrates are no longer being taken in, the body will be forced to use fats and water as alternative sources of energy; thereby helping to shed off those unwanted pounds.

Fats, unbeknownst to many, can actually be converted to energy. The body just doesn’t use it as the first priority because it is more complex in structure and therefore, harder to break down and convert into energy. Among the popular low carbohydrate diets in the country is the Atkins diet.

Despite arguments from its critics, low carbohydrate diet has proven its effectiveness in terms of losing that extra weight. To date, it counts millions of followers not only in the country but also outside America.

Actually, cutting down on carbohydrates in the diet is a practice that people have been doing for years. When people cut down on their rice or bread or do not eat rice at all, they are reducing their carbohydrate intake. Of course, because it is not an official diet plan they are not really restricting themselves completely. When you are under a diet plan, you are not allowed to eat any kind of carbohydrates.

One of the advantages of low carbohydrate diet is the fact that it can actually increase the levels of good cholesterol in the body. This is really good news to people who have a heart problem. This is perhaps the reason why Atkins diet was used for cardio patients. This diet plan can also reduce the amount of triglycerides in the body. Triglycerides can be dangerous when combined with a high level of LDL or bad cholesterol. Both can increase the risk for heart attack and heart disease.

Low carb diet plans are also found to be good in balancing mood swings. They will not be prone to extreme lows such as depression or extreme high. People who are under the program are found to have fairly stable energy levels unlike those with high carbo levels.
