Marina lost over 100 pounds walking as she wrote the lyrics to her songs and workout programs. She is most proud of her customers who have lost weight, stayed in shape and improved their lives.
I'm all for creativity in cooking, but does the world really need a re-engineered, re-branded hot roast beef sandwich?
The MWC supports mayors as champions of community health. The goal is to increase opportunities for New Jersey residents to participate in daily physical activity with a long-term goal of reducing health care costs secondary to obesity. Through public-private partnerships, the MWC provides structure and resources for healthy community initiatives. By encouraging mayors to play a leadership role in supporting local opportunities for active, healthy lifestyles, the intent of the MWC is to improve health and make New Jersey a national leader in community-based health interventions.
“This is exactly what we had in mind when we developed the program,” said David Knowlton, President of the New Jersey Health Care Quality Institute. “We did not copy protect any of the elements of the Mayors Wellness Campaign because we wanted others to replicate our initiative and help get their own citizens on the path to active and healthy lifestyles. We could not be more proud that two Tennessee cities have decided to launch the program on their own. We hope others will take notice as well.”
According to the Chattanooga Times Free Press, former Athens Mayor John Proffitt said he heard of the plan through their insurer. This past summer, Mayor Proffitt signed a pledge with the organization to begin a wellness campaign in Athens, Tennessee. The Times Free Press reported that the campaign quickly spread to Englewood, and the entire county in which the two cities are located is considering signing the pledge.
“This is wonderful news,” said New Jersey State League of Municipalities Executive Director William G. Dressel. “Mayors can do so much on a local level to improve the health of the citizens who reside in their towns and cities. I plan on reaching out to my counterpart at the Tennessee Municipal League to see how we might work together cooperatively to spread this program throughout the state.”
More than 250 New Jersey mayors are active participants in the Mayors Wellness Campaign. In 2006, each of the 566 mayors in New Jersey’s municipalities were mailed the MWC “Toolbox,” a manual designed to guide them through the implementation of wellness programs in their communities. Broken down into four major sections — Youth in Motion; Employees in Motion; Seniors in Motion; and Communities in Motion — the Toolbox outlines programs that can be directly used in every community in New Jersey.
The Toolbox can also be found on the MWC website
Our guests continue to ask such great questions and to draw from Abraham a depth of understanding that just knocks us over, week after week. We are so fortunate to have a great video team traveling from workshop to workshop and capturing these gems—forever!
We have hundreds of hours (from over four years of seminars) in our video film vaults that give us the delightful opportunity to create powerful videos on a myriad of subjects. Right after Thanksgiving (no surprise about the timing of this one) we began gathering and compiling footage on the subject of Natural Weight Loss. We found so much good material that we have put together a two-DVD set, and we can think of no better time to offer it to you (and to us) than now, as we are gearing up for our New Year’s resolutions.
Chapters include:
Running time 2 hours and 20 minutes
I plan to order a set and review them, but if you already have listened to them, and want to share your story, please post a comment.
This was the week I had planned to start reading, sharing and applying, chapter by chapter Dr. Beck's new book "The Complete Beck Diet For Life". I also decided to take my time reading the book so her teachings had a better chance to become ingrained in my mind.
So I got through the Introduction and Chapter 1, highlighting and re-reading along the way.
Now if you know Dr. Beck's approach, you know about her response cards.
Well, there at the end of Chapter 1 was Dr. Beck's first response card--and a very good one at that. It's a very simple and helpful idea to help us all be much more conscience of our thoughts before eating.
So when Dr. Beck shared at the end of her response card that we should all tell ourselves I NEED TO DO DO SOMETHING ELSE!
I remembered this very fun site called THE ORIGAMI CLUB. Here you can find thousands of easy origami ideas to DO SOMETHING ELSE!
Visiting the Origami Club you can actually start playing with your food or start building a collection of origami's that remind you how many times you STRENGTHENED YOUR RESISTANCE MUSCLE.
