THE EURweb FREE-4-ALL PAGE/BOARD: Talk about the stories we didn't cover in this issue.
Just like the headline says, this page/board is where you can discuss the stuff that we didn't cover in today's issue. (It's sort of like feedback with a twist) Remember, NO name calling, racial taunting, graphic sex talk and vulgarity in general, PLEASE.

EUR MOTIVATIONAL NOTE
I am not the athletic physical type. The thought of exercising is not something I get excited about. However, I don't like gaining weight, breathing with difficulty and getting depressed when I shop for new clothes either.
Subsequently, I have to motivate myself to go the gym, put down the cookies and walk away from the chips, candy and cake.
I have to psyche myself up to go to the gym. But let me tell you something --- after I go for a workout, I feel so good about myself. I feel like I'm doing the smart adult thing by taking care of myself. My self-esteem goes up a notch. I find myself meditating and even releasing stored up stress, depression and anger while on the treadmill. I feel younger as I attend the dance and kickboxing class. I may not be able to keep up but at least I'm not sitting on the couch eating ice cream because I depressed. I notice when I exercise I sleep better at night and I know my body is rejoicing because it is getting stronger.
I created this acronym for myself to keep me motivated. Maybe it will inspire you too.
E - exercise and strengthen your body
X - get rid of the fat
E - experience more energy
R - release anger and stress
C - calories will burn up
I - image will be enhanced
S - self-esteem will improve
E - eat fruits, vegetables and whole grains
If you struggle with weight issues --- you are not alone. If you can't get to a gym, start exercising in your home. Begin to clean out your refrigerator of all the soda, sugar, junk food and fatty dairy products. When you order any products from my web site, I will send you my e-booklet "Tips on Successful Weight Loss" for FREE (limited time offer).
