Sep 7th 2009 03:08 pm SUMMERTIME, SUMMERTIME AND THE LIVIN’ IS EASY!
There are songs that transplant you to a sunny beach somewhere where there are drinks with umbrellas, tanned bodies and the feeling of warm sun on your skin. The Beach boys come to mind. All about Surfin in the California sun, Fun, Fun, Fun, Hot fun in Summertime and the list goes on and on.
Another song that gets my summer juices flowing is George Harrison’s "Here Comes The Sun". Per Wikipedia, George (Clapton) acoustic guitars and wrote "Here Comes the Sun’". The song talks of a long, cold, lonely winter, but here comes the sun!
Shedding the parkas, the long pants, the sweaters, scarves and hats. It’s summer and the livin’ is easy comes to mind. But, oh no, it’s time to shed the LBS too. Come on, you know you have to do it………..hop on the scale and see what the winter left. Ah, a few LBS you say. No worries! Spring is a time of new beginnings. How fitting that you should begin a new path; one of healthy choices. Moving the body is much easier when you can go outside, breathe the fresh air, walk the dogs, jog a bit, take a hike, ride a bike. The list is endless! Find what excites you and go for it. Do something everyday! Your choice lies in what you choose to do, not that you choose to not do it. If you’ve really vegetated this winter, start slowly and build up both in time and challenges. Make it easy at first so your not disappointed in your performance. Make sure you can finish what you start by not setting yourself up for failure. This coupled with healthy eating choices, (watch the portion control) will get you to where you want to be. Don’t worry, be happy! Remember that song by Bobby McFerrin (Who?)
Not a song but can be just as powerful Nike’s JUST DO IT!
