Ask Dr. Pete

Dr. Pete the Uncover Coach would like to remark upon the current state of the economy. The US is producing cars, which pollute and kill people, tobacco products which kill us slowly, ridiculous stuff like fast food which creates addiction and bad health, education produces good factory workers, so can be unemployed after graduation.

Stop Working! You are only producing JUNK!

The rich people are making money off our backs.

He recommends a week of not working for every adult in the US except police and sanitation. 

You may protest, not working is stressful. So is working! so is driving to work!

You may not be able to pay bills , so what?

Most of us can't pay the bills anyway. It won't kill you, but it may make a point. The point is

Tip Two for Melting Belly Fat

This is the second tip. Healthy Lifestyle.

First they say, Don't eat it, it's bad for you. Then they say it's healthy. Coffee is currently healthy. I don't think it matters to Starbucks. They sell a colossal amount of talle grande colossal coffees every day! I think the foods humans are supposed to eat are fruits and vegetables. And lean meat if you eat meat. Chicken and turkey are supposed to be okay. We recently fasted from meat for 40 days. Severel people asked if I lost weight. Only 3 poounds, aned I've been working out three times each week. for over a month. All I can think of is the pasta. And last weekend we celebrated Greek Orthodox Easter. Did you hear the explosion? That was a homemade Greek bomb! it exploded after I got on the scale!

Biskits

I just heard the most amusing expression, purported to have originated in the South:
If the cat has kittens in the oven, you don't call them biscuits!

LOL!

One hundred Forty Four point Four

One hundred forty four point four. Again. Still. Whatever.

I think my scale is stuck. What do I have to do to get it to move (in the downward direction)???!!

I feel so unmotivated. Need to go do some hypnosis.

TTY!

First Tip to Melt Belly Fat

For your convenience, I have collected some tips on how to reduce belly fat, the bane of my existence. Maybe you hate it, too?

The first tip is to Smile and I will expand on each letter.

"S"

"S" is for Smile! My trainer, Connie Russo, starts every class saying, "Smile, girls!" This is good advice. Sometimes I don't feel like smiling until she says, we're almost there! Then she says, Four more!

Have you ever seen an exercise class on TV? All the participants have smiles pasted on their faces. Try it, it's a lot harder than it looks. But it is a good way to take your mind off the muscles that are currently screaming in pain. Grin or grimace, it can help you get through the workout.

"S" also stands for self-talk, and I will tell you what to say when you talk to yourself.

"M"

"M" is for mirror. I want you to talk to yourself as you look into the mirror every morning. Use positive language. Program your day for good things to happen. Good things happen every day. You can program your day by focusing on good things and using positive language. You can say to yourself, "I lead a charmed life!" or "I am healthy, wealthy, and wise." or whatever else you may be trying to cultivate in yourself. When I wash my face and put on moisturizer in the morning, I look in the mirror and say, "My skin is always smooth, firm, and youthful!"

You can use affirmations all day long. It really is better for you than worrying. And it costs nothing. Many teachers and gurus recommend affirmations, like Louise Hay, Wayne Dyer, Burt Goldman, Deepak Chopra, and Suze Ormon. Even Suze Ormon says to become wealthy, you should write down your positive statement of Truth 20 times each morning. That's how she became successful!

Think about it, how would your day be if you started it by saying,

I look fabulous, I feel fabulous, I AM fabulous!

Would it be better? Or would it be worse? At the very least, you can start your day with a laugh.

"I"

I stands for Inspire yourself. Use positive language to inspire yourself to move towards your goals and reduce fat. Yelling at yourself won't help. Has anyone ever eaten dessert and though you know you shouldn't you went back for just a little bit more? And told yourself, you know you shouldn't get more, you fat cow! Anyone else besides me? Beating yourself up doesn't help, it makes you run for another serving. That's why I don't want you to use negative language. Don't say, "I'm not fat." Say instead, "I am slimming my middle; my middle is slim."

Be kind to yourself!

"L"

"L" stands for lighten up. Laughter is an aerobic EXERCISE! The average adult laughs less than 20 times per day. The average child laughs 749 times!!! You don't have to take life so seriously! Laughter is good for you. we'll talk more about it later.

"E"

E is for envision yourself successful! This hypnotice technique can help keep you motivated!

One Hundred Forty Five

Well, it was a long weekend. We celebrated Greek Orthodox Easter. And that means one feast after another. Saturday, we cooked all day, and ate, too. Now we have about 50 flaouna to consume over the next few days.

I don't know how many calories are in it. Probably a lot more than I should eat at any meal. They are somewhat difficult to make and we only make them at Easter.

What should I do?

I'll hae to start over tomorrow. Or maybe in a week or 2 when all the flaouna are gone...

One Hundred Forty Two point Four

OK, now we are talking!!!

I am fast approaching the under 140 mark.

I can't wait!
