| Hot Picks |
Fruit2O - vitamin water without the calories! I attended an event this week at a nearby spa, and I was given 4 bottles of Fruit2O water to take home with me, taste and blog about. Fun, yes???!!! Anyway, I put the various flavored water bottles (Mango, Lime, Blueberry, Peach) in the fridge to get nice n' icy cold. Last night, after a long, fabulous walk (3 miles!), I went to grab me a bottle and it was all gone! Peter (husband) drank it all. When confronted he said, "Oh yeah, I drank it. Liked it, too!" So - this week's hot pick comes from Peter! Enjoy!!!

| Joke of the Week from Marsha Coleman, OLofWL's Director of Jokes |

A young chubby woman took her troubles to a psychiatrist.
"Doctor, you must help me," she pleaded. "It's gotten so that every time I go off my diet, afterward, I feel guilty and get
depressed for days."
"I see," nodded the psychiatrist. "And, no doubt, you want me to strengthen your will power and resolve in this matter."
"No," said the woman. "I want you to fix it so I won't feel guilty and depressed afterward!"

Happiness Centered Approach to Weight Loss
Hi Tushketeers ~
Can you believe it? Barbie is 50! She looks pretty good, I have to say, and I do love her glasses! She sure knows how to take care of herself. And speaking of taking care of oneself ... I've been thinking about the current money situation that we're all feeling in one way or another.
Money's tight, all right. In the face of all this scaling back, I want to remind everyone to remember to take good care of your psychological and physical well-being. You will be that much the stronger, healthier and happier for it.
Of course, there are many ways to invest in yourself. From taking a hot bath and indulging in some 'time out,' to listening to (f*r*e*e) Teleseminars, to making an investment in going to a retreat that proves to be just the restorative experience you've been thirsting for.
To that end, I'd like to remind you to register for the F*R*E*E PROFOUND PATHS to Health, Healing and Happiness tele-seminars. Mark your calendar to listen in to my one hour segment, coming March 31. Did I mention that there's no charge ... if it's free; its for me!
and ... if you can, please join with us at Kripalu Yoga & Health for the most incredible workshop ever. I have revamped it, added new materials to it, and I can guarantee a life-altering experience. I would love to see you there!
And now for this week's KICK!!!
Spread the word ... NOT the icing,
Janice

Motivational Musings
Our Lady of Weight Loss takes a happiness centered approach to weight loss. It is her mission to make weight loss fun ... to make weight loss a joyful experience. Here follows ten of her top tips that she feels will up your energy, keep you focused and help you to happily melt fat.
Ten Tips to Happiness Centered Weight Loss
1. BALANCE: Permanent weight loss is about living a balanced life. It's about looking at all areas of your life - physical health, mental health, relationships, finances, career, fun, creativity, spirituality, physical environment, time - and creating them so that they support YOU to have the best life ever.
Focusing only on weight loss will not serve you well. You may lose it; but without creating balance in all areas of your life, you will in all likelihood find it again. We're talking PERMANENT WEIGHT LOSS here!
2. COMMITMENT: Make a commitment to YOU, all of you, every aspect of you. Losing weight won't fix what's wrong with your finances. Gathering buckets of money won't help you to lose weight. Commit to giving yourself the best life that you can. Do this for YOU and your body!
3. THE SCALE: Do NOT get hung up on the number on the scale.
Do you know what the scale really measures - scientifically that is? Every object in the universe with mass attracts every other object with mass. (Some more massive than others!) Therefore, there is a pull - a force - an attraction ) between you and the Earth. Your bathroom scale measures gravitational pull!!
Nowhere in scientific date - that I could find - does it state that the scale measures HIDEOUS FAT. Nor does it say that you are BAD!
4. VISIONING: Envision your compelling future. What would you ultimately like your life to be like? See every detail. From where you would live, what you would do, what you are wearing! See, feel, hear and smell (if you can! Perhaps the honeysuckle in the air; or the slicing of a lemon.) every aspect of this clear picture. Write it down. And now make it come true. One step at a time.
5. SAFE HAVEN: Keeping your home clear of the Devil's Food, red light items, things that send you off on a binge is essential! Making your home a safe haven affords you an opportunity to establish healthy, solid habits. It is essential that you create an environment that supports your permanent fat removal efforts; a place where you are as free as possible from excessive food thoughts.

Dear OLofWL ~ I read your website and I must say that I feel uplifted!! Thank you. I do have a question though ... I'm in my I'm in my early forty's and overweight by approximately twenty-pounds. I've tried everything; even the newest craze "Acai Berry" and the Probiotics Cleanse. I've lost only a few pounds. My concern is this: I'm trying to eat more healthy (I used to just live off of "Mountain Dew" and coffee with an occasional bite to eat while I was cooking for the kids for years ~ no lie!!) but I don't take in more than 800-calories a day. What can I do? I just feel so discouraged? Please respond to my e-mail address below. Thank you and have a happy, great day!! - Ang.
Dear Ang and anyone else out there who is eating too little!!! ~ I know it is counter-intuitive, but eating too little only serves to slow down your metabolism, thus making it more difficult to lose weight. Eating between 1200 to 1600 calories per day is a healthy 'losing' level, depending on how much you want to lose. You need fuel to keep your metabolism burning! Eat healthy first and foremost!!! ~ OLofWL
Dear OLofWL ~ Just made your fingerling potato recipe (using red potatoes) from your book ALL IS FORGIVEN, MOVE ON - FANTASTIC! Used fresh thyme. Thanks - keep the recipes coming! ~ Liz M.
Dear Liz ~ Oh MY! Aren't those potatoes the BEST! So glad you enjoyed that recipe. The book is choked-full of delicious, amazing and healthy recipes. Thanks for writing. ~ OLofWL
WRITE OLofWL. She WANTS to hear from you! (She lives for it!)
