The Healthy Kids, Healthy Schools Child Obesity Summit has been amazing. I will write with more information tomorrow or Monday, but I am excited to tell you that the Houston Independent School Board is ready to take action. They are going to roll out actual pilots that stem from this summit, so I am excited to be a part of it.

The caliber of the people in attendance is amazing. I sat next to Dr. David Satcher during one of the sessions yesterday. Dr. Satcher served as the 16th US Surgeon General up through 2002. I was blown away.

Please fit in today’s workout and then enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Today’s Topics:
• Are you earning success?
• Today’s Fitness Mission

ARE YOU EARNING SUCCESS?
Can you look yourself in the mirror and honestly tell yourself that
you have earned the right to be successful in reaching your weight
loss and/or fitness goals?

This is important so please think about this:

• Are you doing 3 interval workouts per week?
• Are you doing 2 or 3 No Excuses Workouts per week?
• Are you tracking your results through your No Excuses System Web-
based software or through the Yahoo Group Polls?
• Are you having at least 64 ounces of water per day?
• Are you having breakfast within 1 hour of waking up?
• Are you not skipping meals?
• Are you having healthy snacks mid-morning and mid-afternoon?
• Are you only having dessert once a week?
• Are you limiting yourself to 1 glass of wine or 1 beer per night?
• Are you not having seconds and watching your portions?

OK, cut me off. You get the point. Losing weight and getting fit is not easy. As you can see from the above list, it requires a lot of effort, hard work and consistency.

I want you to look over this list and look over my 15 Secrets to Better Health (in the Files section of my Yahoo Group home page) and make sure you are doing all these suggestions.

If you are, YOU ARE EARNING SUCCESS! IF NOT, TAKE ACTION TODAY AND START EARNING THE SUCCESS YOU DESERVE!
