Final Week to Rate your Freeze, Melt, and Conservation!
I hope you found the accountability of this group during January, February, and March of 2009 to be as helpful to you as I found it to be for me! I've seen great improvement in each of our three areas of focus--money, calories, and time--because I am in a group of people who are watching, and listening...and they care! So, thank you! (Of course, the more you post, the more care and encouragement you will feel!)
Last time to pull out your journal!
Our first shared goal was to freeze debt (rate yourself today), melt fat, (rate yourself today), and conserve your time (rate yourself today)! Then we moved into the emotional phase: loving to burn, give, and plan--learning to enjoy a disciplined lifestyle. Finally, we narrowed our "focus" to practical ways to save, give, and burnfor a lifetime.
For those who read daily in the Change Your Life Daily Bible, today's Old Testament reading is from Deuteronomy 4--the whole chapter is encouraging, but verses 5-6 speak of the impression others have about those who obey the Lord's ways: "How wise and prudent are the people of this great nation!"
May the Holy Spirit of the Lord pour out and over your life today and always. May your life reflect the power of God's love and favor on your life--on the easiest days and the most difficult ones. May your love for God be evident in all you do...
Be encouraged,
Becky

Week 11: Save Time Daily
This week, I am reminded that time is a gift. How we use our time (1) can impact others positively or negatively, and (2) affects how we experience our day (ex: anxiety or stress or guilt or satisfaction or elation).
So this week, our call and our assignment is to spend every "chunk" of our time wisely! Since you all seem to like the "quick ways to remember" the weekly tips, I'm going to make a list of abbreviations so you have to listen to the call in order to find out what they are!!
CAC before you go to bed!
BOT for everything!
RWW is relaxing!
TOE before departing!
HAP for your day!
Enjoy!

Week 10: Focus on Saving and Burning Calories for Life!
This week we focus on the VERY practical ways we can save, burn and spend calories SO MUCH that it becomes our lifestyle...not our burden!
Questions to Ask: In Prevention Magazine, there four questions that we should all ask ourselves always--and at ANY time, the HONEST answer is going to be the key to busting through a plateau!
1. Am I working hard enough?
2. Am I snacking more?
3. Are my portions oversized?
4. Am I in a workout rut?
We'll talk about these questions more on this week's call--but most importantly, this is the perfect WEEK in your life for the rest of your life to make calorie saving and burning a lifestyle!
FYI: For those in the year-long or QTRLY groups, I am offering a 20 minute personalized coaching session for those who need a kick-off or a follow-up call. You can register for that online at Change Your Life Daily.
Note: Our last Wednesday call of this series will be a Question and Answer session--so if you can make the live call, come with any questions you might have for me!
Be encouraged,
Becky

Make a Mad Dash for March!
We're coming down the stretch...4 weeks to go! We can do this...but it will require an extra amount of focus, an increased level of intensity, and a deep breath of endurance to finish WELL!
Now is not the time to regret any goofs in the past nor rely on your successes to date--now is the time to rally, run and a make a mad dash for the end of the month.
This week's tips and ideas will focus exclusively on how to "SAVE MONEY" in a variety of ways:
1. Shop your closet -- You have a "field trip" this week! Browse through (or buy) a recent fashion magazine or store catalog (free) and look through it for styles that you like (shoes, pants, dresses or skirts) and especially observe colors. Then go through your closet and mix and match pieces from previous seasons that you might not have purchased together. Ex: yellow or pink sweaters and blouses to wear with grey (rather than black)!
2. Field Trip to Target, Gap, and JC Penney-- Isaac Mizrahi, for example, is a NY designer who designs clothes for Target at an extremely affordable price. If you are on a tighter budget and have never taken a look at the brands at these clothing stores, you'd be surprised and amazed at how cute (and inexpensive) the sweaters, T-shirts, and swim suits are for all sizes!
3. Hair Cuts -- Instead of a monthly hair cut, just go in for a bang or neck trim (most hair dressers will do this for free or a tip); AND if you've been tempted to grow your hair longer, NOW is the time. Save on haircuts and suffer with the "growth" while saving money!
4. Save $$ on Food/Groceries -- Use your freezer not only for leftovers but for keeping certain foods longer (ex: freeze browning bananas and use in smoothies for desserts, instead of ice cream; freeze ginger root and take out only what you need). Cut your portions down (1/4 pound burgers instead of 1/3 of a pound; eat 1/2 carton of yogurt per snack and add sunflower seeds to make it a more filling and fiber-loaded snack; cut candy bars and gum portions in 1/2!)
These are my tips for SAVING MONEY this week...of course, the more you save, the more you can give away!
If you are reading through the CYL Daily Bible, Proverbs 10:22 was a great reminder, "The blessing of the Lord makes a person rich, and He adds no sorrow with it."
