I finally went back to my workouts after a week of eating and doing nothing much except visit with relatives and friends. Surprisingly though, I’ve lost a pound. Hmm, that’s nice .
Now I can go right back to those festive dinners and snacking without the guilt. At any rate, I’m glad the weekend is here. Hope you have a great one too.

When you feel low, try any of the following strategies and feel better immediately:
1. Ask yourself 'What if this situation changes magically as I desire?' and write in detail how you will feel if it happens, how your environment will be, how your posture will be etc - use
your imagination and write down even the tiniest detail that comes to your mind.
2. Collect pictures of places/objects/activities that make you feel happy. Make an album with these pictures and view it when you feel low. Nature, flowers, babies are my favourite. I have collected loads of beautiful pictures from the web and view them as a slide show in my computer. You can have different folders for different emotions.
3. Write down 10 best moments in your life in detail. If possible, attach pictures of the event and read this when you are upset. This will lift your spirit up.
4. List 10 favourite activities that you enjoy. When you feel bad, perform any of these activities. Your negative emotion will be transformed into positive emotion.
5. Make a playlist with 10 songs that make you happy/calm and listen to it when you are down.
6. List down 10 features/assets/resources/people that you value most in your life. Write them down. This list will help you find the strength you need when you feel low.
7. Tell yourself that it is ok to feel these emotions. Visualise the emotion as an object and describe it. This technique helps you detach yourself from the emotion. When you no longer identify yourself with the emotion, you can handle it effectively.
8. Feel the whole intensity of the emotion. You'll see that the intensity reduces drastically in a few seconds.
9. Imagine you as your best friend. Do what you'll do if your friend is feeling like you do now. Will you give a hug? Will you say some kind things about him/her? Will you simply assure him/her that things will be better? Do the same for you.
10. Write down the thoughts behind your emotions. Come up with some counter arguments based on facts. For example, if your thought is 'I am so unlucky', your counter argument will have facts that says otherwise. Try this and you will find enormous relief.
Good luck!

Get In Shape! Top 5 Tips For Success!
by Charles Torres
It's not at all easy to remain motivated to exercise for long periods of time. No matter how optimistic and positive-thinking you are, exercise workouts have the tendency to grow more and more boring as the time goes by. So how could you make your exercise program less monotonous and more fun? Here are a few tips:
1.Exercise with a friend
Get an exercise buddy or training partner. A partner can give you a challenge, help you and encourage you to continue exercising.
2. Keep a Training Journal
Always make sure to keep a detailed training journal. By keeping a journal of your training sessions, you will have a detailed log of your every exercise you perform along with reps, sets and how much weight you lifted.
It's also great to document how you felt before, during and after your training session along with any food/supplements you took before and after you trained. By keeping an exercise journal, you will have access to a wealth of information and be able to detect specific areas in your current training routine which can be changed or improved upon.
3. Stay mentally Focused When Training
When you decide to exercise, try to really stick to your training routine and don't get sidetracked by too much socializing. When you socialize with friends, your mind usually starts to wander off and you really start to lose focus on your main objective, which is to train hard and get out of there.
You can always meet up with your friends after your workout and catch up on old times. A great way to focus and keep your training session upbeat and exciting, is to invest in a mp3 player and load your favorite music on it. Jam out with some cool upbeat techno, hip-hop or some hard rock to get your energy levels up and get you excited during your workout.
You will also notice when having your headphones on, you will limit the amount of people who tend to come up and want to chat. If you see friends in the gym, say a quick hello and get to work.
4.Try Different Forms Of Exercise!
If you have always used free weights, then switch it up and try training with machines like "Hammer Strength" or "Nautilus". These are excellent weight resistance machines and they will really work your muscles from different angles and different intensities.
You always want to strive to find new and exciting ways to workout your body. Try doing all body-weight movements, which are a really great way to build quality strength.
The military uses mainly body-weight movements during their training. These include pushups, situps and pullups. The three main body-weight movements will really give you a great overall body workout!
5. Keep Your Muscles Guessing!
Try to always "trick" your muscles. You never want to do the same exercises, reps and sets for each and every workout. You always want to shock your muscles into growing and adapting to new stimuli, so make sure to always switch up your training routines, number of sets and reps for each training session.
Also, make sure to train at a high level if intensity and really push each set to positive failure (barely getting the last rep up). You should always focus on increasing the weight lifted. If your muscles get used to lifting a specific amount of weight, then they will never want to get stronger or grow. Always try to trick your muscles with different reps/sets and keep your intensity levels up high enough so they always are forced to make changes and grow!
