Here’s your tip of the week.  Be sure and check out the video of the week as well. TAlso please check out some great time saving workouts at Oprah.com. Today’s tip is focused on finding time to be healthy.   Bottom line here- most women (and men) place their job, their kids, their spouse, everything ahead of their health. When time gets short, health habits go out the door.  I be blunt- that is the most foolish action anyone can take. Your health is more important than your job, your spouse, your kids, your church… Why? Well stop and think- without your health nothing else can be accomplished.

There’s nothing wrong with me. I can quit drinking any time.
My child will be an Olympic athlete- he just needs more training.
He really does love me- he just made a mistake when he slept with her.
My father really cares about me- he just doesn’t know how to show it.
Mom will come back to us some day…. Why is it so hard for us to face our lives sometimes? It’s hard because often life hurts.

I say the truth because there is a science to this… So here are some tidbits from last night’s seminar.
