Move It And Lose It – Words to get you moving!

There’s so many great quotes out there, we want to share a little inspiration with our challengers!  Just signing up and making the decision to change is motivation enough.  You may not know it, there’s a lot of other women watching what you are doing and taking inspiration from it!  First workout is this weekend and we can’t wait to get started!

“It is our attitude at the beginning of a difficult task which, more than anything else, will affect It’s successful outcome.”
William James

Accept who you are right now and start this task with an open mind and heart.  Any decision you’ve made, choice you’ve made, thought you had yesterday stays exactly where it belongs – yesterday!  Today is your new day to be happy, healthy and leave everything else yesterday, where it belongs!

“I believe life is to be lived, not worked, enjoyed, not agonized, loved, not hated.”
Leland Bartlett

So much new opportunity is out there simply waiting for you, if you choose to see it.  Not happy?  Pretend to be happy and sooner or later you’ll find out you’re not pretending.  

“Be who you are, everyone else is taken.”
You are beautiful, you are unique, you are special!  The outside beauty is reflected by the beauty inside, know that you are a unique part of this world and here for a reason!

Find the attitude in the work and find the beauty!

As you start your new workout, meet new friends, and find a new you – know that we are here behind you with support, many are living vicariously through your adventures!
Now get out and Move It And Lose It!

Move It AND Lose It Challenge – In The Beginning There Was The Decision!

Everyone at some point stands at the edge of a cliff in life, looking over the edge trying to decide what to do.  Many turn around and walk back, backtracking to what is safe, what is familiar, away from that edge.  For over 25 women though, they’ve held their breath and jumped off that edge, they’ve entered unknown territory.  We met some of them at our Girls Nite Out at Bermuda Run Country Club and the excitement was in the air.

Some heard about our Move It And Lose It Challenge from sitting at a car wash and picking up a magazine, other’s found out from our Personal Trainer, April Hartsook while others heard from our favorite way – word of mouth!  “I signed up for the challenge because my friend is signed up and I want to do this with her.”  These women will share this journey and most will become lifelong friends as a result!

How does it feel to stand on that edge?  Some have said, “exciting,” “scared,” “hopeful,” and we say COURAGEOUS…you decided THIS time you weren’t going to walk away from that edge, you were going to take that step into the unknown and put your heart into it!  You are going to Move It AND Lose It!  Congratulations ladies for accepting our challenge and letting our readers be inspired by women taking a chance and moving toward a better life!

We will chronicle their journey with personal trainer April Hartsook, share with you the inspiration, the healthy living tips, the great workouts to get these women moving and losing it!  Are you standing on the edge?  There’s still time to signup and join these women, why not Move It AND Lose It with them?  www. forsythwoman.com

What edge are you standing on?

Wednesday’s Word: Encouragement

You need to be aware of what others are doing, applaud their efforts,
acknowledge their successes, and encourage them in their pursuits. 
When we all help one another, everybody wins. 
(Jim Stovall)

Today’s word, encouragement, has the potential to make your day better – guaranteed! Could you begin your day with a commitment to offer honest, authentic words of encouragement to most of the people who cross your path today?

Encouragement is not flattery. Flattery is false and has nothing to do with an authentic word of encouragement. Flattery has no substance; it is merely hollow words that fool no one.

How can you offer words of encouragement during the day? Give thought to this. Begin in your home; take encouraging words to work or to school, then to the grocery store or restaurant and THEN . . .

Take a good look at the words that are going on inside your own mind. Can you give your own self an encouraging word? This is probably the most difficult of all. What difference would it make in your life if “The Encourager” had the loudest voice in your head? Many people allow “The Critic” to have the loudest voice. What difference would it make if the loudest voice in your head was “The Encourager?”

Correction does much, but encouragement does more. 
(Johann Wolfgang von Goeth)

A word of encouragement during a failure
is worth more than an hour of praise after success.
