If chocolate/pudding is calling to you from the fridge or crisps/cakes/biscuits from the cupboard ask yourself this..

What are they doing in your house?

Next time you are flicking through the channels or waiting the dull 5 minutes of an advertising break think..

All that wasted time where I am being brainwashed by TV could be a 20 minute workout. (20 minutes of adverts every hour) how many hours are you sitting through telling yourself there is no exercise time in your day?

Next time you are on the bus or in the car for less than 10 minutes, consider the length of time it would take to walk or cycle that same distance.

Is the school run (kids delivery to school)  a complete pain because there is nowhere to park and the kids are whining in the back? Start out 30 minutes earlier ,kids in coats ,toddlers in the buggy and walk. Your kids will be wide awake when they get there and you will be calm and in control. Your petrol money can stay in your purse and the car can live another day.

When your kids tell you they 'NEED this' fad food on your next shopping trip ,seriously ask them why.
Tell them the responsible adult who balances the household budget decides what is bought and if that isn't them then they are out of luck! Often kids want to impress their friends with the amount of money that was spent on their lunch,it is wise for them to remember that their friends really don't care what is going into someone elses mouth.  

Next time you see a jogger or cyclist in the street or park or a yoga or fitness documentary on TV  think..
I need to do that.

So what are you waiting for?
This isn't the rehearsal!
