Women are low on their own lists

Women are low on their own lists. Somewhere below doing the laundry, making the beds, paying the car insurance. Are women more important than socks? Why do we get up early for a meeting but not a walk? Why do we happily spend hundreds on our boyfriends but can’t justify blueberries for our cereal? Why do we say yes when we want to say no? Why do we choose the burnt chop? Because we put ourselves last.

Being selfish used to be the worst thing you could say to a woman. But we’re going to celebrate it. Because doing something for yourself feels good. And if you feel good, you’re a better friend, a better mother, lover, workmate. You’re a a better you.

So exercise, eat well, and feel good. Special K. Remember You.

That’s the message put out by Kellogg’s Special K on Australian televisions, linking with a microsite, RememberYour.com.au

Here's to 2007

2007 is well and truly underway!
I hope your welcoming of the New Year was a joyful event and if you were like me, it would also have included some reflection on the year past and some planning for the year ahead.

And I'm excited! This year I am continueing to post bite sized snippets of health information that will make a positive difference to your health - if you choose to act upon it.
And therein lies the challenge - to act on the information, the ideas and the plans we get and make.

My primary resolution for 2007 is to act upon ideas. Apply even just one positive habit to improve my health - and considering I need to lose about 1/3 of my body weight, I've got a few options - and leave this year in better shape than I enter it in.

Here's wishing you all a year full of breakthroughs and breakouts.
Let's live a life full of risks, love and achievement!
