Be Prepared

I just heard on the news that a Boy Scout troop was missing and was just found safe and sound because....THEY WERE PREPARED! That is the boy scout motto "Be Prepared" I remember teaching that to my son and when they are little cubs they have to memorize that first "Be Prepared"....

How that speaks to me today. To prepare is everything. To be ready willing and able. To plan.....When we have goals we first have to set out a plan and put it into action. We will not be as successful if we just wing it each day and "hope" to reach the goal. I do not use the word hope and this is why.....

If we want to loose weight we have to be prepared with food and a exercise plan and a back up plan when friends ask us to go out to dinner or on a picnic. What will you do? Prepare and bring some of your own food? or Google the restaurant and find out what you can eat and then you are all set so that when you arrive you do not wing it and set yourself up to fail. If you do not have a clue what will be served and do not feel it appropriate to ask a hostess then mentally visualize yourself having very small portions and having fun and concentration on the moment and friends or family and not the food.

At home we can prepare for success by stalking our kitchens with good wholesome food.....not junk. Leave out the soda, candy, icecream and white sugar and flour. ewww. Once you stop eating these things you will say ewww....white sugar actually looks so funny to me now. Enjoy good food.....Your body will love you for it.


And above all "BE PREPARED".......
