A new date - Thursday, April 26th, 2007
“We
have learned over the past couple of weeks that cancer does
not see political affiliations, race, gender or religion. Through unity
we can find strength and fight to make solving this problem
a national priority”. Lance
Armstrong There
are many of us that have been touched by cancer, and some that have
experienced it directly. It is truly a personal experience, but
I believe by sharing the experience with others help make this fight
an easier one to battle. I was given the opportunity to contact
a personal speaker who had colon cancer (the same cancer that I lost
my father too) who is now working to help others share their stories
with a focus on helping them provide a better presentation. How
ironic, I thought, when here I have been struggling at making a great
presentation. I have lots to share, but I don’t know how to
make it sound interesting and not scary or depressing. I hope
Edward (who bears the same name as my dad) can help. It’s
amazing the resources that come your way when you are open to
receiving them. So,
I am positively thrilled by the last couple of weeks of amazing
support by PARO woman and by receiving my first online donation for
the LIVESTRONG Challenge from a PARO woman! Wow! I have
been focusing on the diet and putting my efforts into exercising a
little more this week since all the excitement has now fueled my fire
much stronger. I’m encouraged and am thankful to those who
believe in me and support me in my efforts. Remember,
as Lance says, to LIVESTRONG!
Clean
up your act and use these five little rules that if practiced daily,
will lead you right into a fit and healthy lifestyle! 2
Use weights –
build muscle; you know it burns energy! It also helps to prevent
osteoporosis; not only that the stronger you are the easier everyday
activities will be! 3
Watch your serving
sizes – we need far less food than we think we doJ
Spread it out into 6 smaller meals a day and your energy levels will
stay even, you won’t be hungry and you will feel great! 4
Think fresh and
colourful! Stock up your fridge with items from the perimeters of
the grocery store! Eat lots of dark leafy greens as well as bright reds
and oranges, whole grain products, lean proteins, low fat dairy and
don’t forget the nuts!! 5
Monitor your
middle! Get out your tape measure once a week and work towards getting
and keeping that waist measurement under 32” for women and 35” for
men! Make
it an excellent week! Spring into action and get up and get going! PS:
Don’t forget you can listen to this message and past messages at www.coulisconnection.com! Feel
free to email any questions to me and I can address them in future
emails!
