I'm doing 19 things
I had put on weight and couldn’t seem to shake it. I think there may be some truth to those adages about “once you turn 40.” Anyhow, I couldn’t lose the weight. I once read that the word dieting is so misleading in that we take it to mean it’s a “temporary” thing. The truth is, diet means “a way of life.” So it’s a lifetime committment, not a temporary little jaunt off the usual path. With this in mind, I applied the South Beach diet to my lifestyle and I have never felt better. I still have a little more weight to lose and I don’t see that being a problem.

How I did it
It made me 
How I did it: I took a 12-week course through Professional Christian Coaching & Counseling Academy (www.pccca.org). This course helped me to define my own God proclaimed life purpose. My vision is clear and I excited about helping other find this clarity. Read how I did it…
It made me
organized!
How I did it: This took longer than anticipated but we've done it and it seems to be working. Our scrimping and saving here and there has us on the same page now. Read how I did it…

I started biting/picking at my lips again! Ugh, this time however, I noticed when I began doing it and know that this is a stress trigger. I have chapstick, lip balm and carmex lying around everywhere so I can apply something the moment I am tempted!
Once I began doing my yoga stretches daily, this became much easier. It doesn’t take a lot of time for it to be effective. I’m glad I got back on track with this.
