Dare to Achieve

Posted by Kathryn Lang on 24 November 2009, 10:54 pm

happy birthday

I turn 40 in January. My mind tells me I am far from those years but my body shows each passing moment. I am not healthy. I can not even play ball with my kids. It is time to achieve all of those goals I have been spouting.

Things that I Dare to Achieve:


    I want to run again.     The other day we went to tour a local cave. The walk was only around a mile or so and easy enough going in, but we had to rush coming out (nothing like a three year old announcing “I have to go potty” to but the gears into high). By the time we got to the cave entrance I was out of breath. I ran the two mile event in high school. I want to run like that once more.

    I want to wear clothes that I like. At this moment there are few clothes that I truly like hanging in my closet. Most of the outfits I have are there because they camouflage all those things that I detest. It is time for me to start shopping again for clothes that I feel comfortable and confident walking around in.

    I want to dance with my husband. Right now I would not be able to dance the night away. I might be able to dance a song or two but that would be all. I taught ballroom dancing in college. It is time for me to move with that freedom around the floor once more.

    I want to enjoy the summer (and yes, that does include wearing a swim suit). My whole life was spent outdoors but I hide inside these days. I want to play in the water with my kids. I want to hang out at the lake with my friends and my family. I may even want to brave the skis once more.

My lack of consistency and determination hinders my life. I know that. I have the keys to healthy living but I am choosing a different road. It can no longer continue in this way. I have determined that I will do more than dare to dream. I will dare to achieve all of my goals!

One Hour Diet

Posted by Kathryn Lang on 11 November 2009, 11:44 am

The diet label does not fit the idea that I am spinning around in my head. It dawned on me that spending only one hour each week could drastically change my life. My particular struggle is with weight so my first thought was to call it a diet, but it is much more than an eating guideline.

Would you be willing to invest one hour a week if you knew that it would change your life?

Points to the One Hour Diet

    1. Support is essential. It is possible to do things on your own but support makes accomplishment more likely (and much easier). Spending thirty minutes each week with a group that can support you in your endeavor will help encourage you to complete the journey.

    2. Daily affirmation makes success a possibility. You are what you think. Thinking the positive about your situation instead of mulling over the negative will give you the added fuel you need to finish the race.

    3. There is only action or inaction. Success comes from action. You have to put your goals and dreams to work.

Just three simple steps that can be completed in one hour each week are all that you need to change your life. Are you ready?

Let me know if you would be interested in a study or plan that would follow this pattern. Leave your comment here or link back to this post for your chance to win a free One Hour Diet Study Guide.
