Consistency is very important for an exercise routine to have the desired effect
on our body. Getting started is the easy part, it is sticking to a regular
exercise routine that is difficult and this is what makes most people give up in
between. Most people get on to a beautiful start. They buy track suits and
gym-wear, running shoes and a whole lot of other gear. Their first day at the
gym is almost a celebration. Then as the days go on, they find it increasingly
difficult to meet the domestic and professional demands and so their routine
slows down and finally comes to a complete workout burn out. In other words, the
stop working out completely. |

Practice
Whatever you practice, you will become skilled at doing. Winning athletes
practice day after day, month after month, to hone their skills. So do the best
musicians, actors, salespeople, airline pilots, preachers, photographers,
designers -- the list goes on and on.
What do you practice every day? Do you practice positive, success-oriented
skills and actions? Or do you practice such skills as making excuses, getting
angry, complaining, assigning blame, and procrastinating.
Remember, the more you practice, the more skilled you become. Every moment, you
increase your experience in some area. The more you practice anything, the more
it becomes a part of you. So be aware of what you practice each day, each
moment. Make sure that what you practice, is what you want to become.

Top 10 Rules for Dining out
Many of us enjoy going out to eat. Unfortunately a
number of people throw their 25 percent or less fat
budget out of the window. Even worse, many eat
unbalanced meals and/or binge when eating out. Some
people will even skip breakfast and lunch to compensate
for the extra calories they will consume when going out
for dinner. By the time dinner rolls around, they are so
hungry they make unwise choices and overeat.
Check out Top 10 rules for dining out:
1. First rule – never, never, never go to a buffet.
Life is tough enough without surrounding yourself with
temptation. I don't care how committed you are, you will
never have enough self-discipline to make it through an
hour of this kind of torment. Stick with ordering from a
menu.
2. Avoid restaurants with names like "The Keg"
because just the thought of a keg of anything adds three
inches to your waist.
3. Be sure to order what you really want when eating
out. If you only order what you think you "should"
rather than what you really want, you may be physically
satisfied but not psychologically satisfied; you will
most likely crave something more. If the meal is not
enjoyable or satisfying, you may end up ordering a
dessert (that you normally would not order) to fulfill
your cravings. Remember, you can still eat the foods you
love; just try to be creative and cut down on the
fattening "extras" (butter, sour cream, etc.) that are
not needed in order to enjoy the meal.
