Knowing what you want and setting goals to achieve it,

Wishing for things, but taking no action,

Seeing the big picture, and setting your goals accordingly,
WINNING
Seeing only where you are today,
LOSING
Adopt a WINNING attitude!


Wake up! Today is a fresh "new" day...
"New" things to do, and "new" things to say.

Yesterday is gone...it's "over and done"...
Today is a "fresh" start, "new" challenges to be won.

Listen to a "new" song today, and make way for more to come...
Fix a "new" storage space, for the completion of "new" things done.

Don't waste time worrying about the mistakes of yesterday...
There's "fresh" chances to say what needs to be said..."today".

So, wake up, and realize today is "another" day...
There's "new" things to do, and "new" things to say.

New Beginnings
It's only the beginning now
...a pathway yet unknown
At times the sound of other steps
...sometimes we walk alone

The best beginnings of our lives
May sometimes end in sorrow
But even on our darkest days
The sun will shine tomorrow.

So we must do our very best
Whatever life may bring
And look beyond the winter chill
To smell the breath of spring.

Into each life will always come
A time to start anew
A new beginning for each heart
As fresh as morning dew.

Although the cares of life are great
And hands are bowed so low
The storms of life will leave behind
The wonder of a rainbow.

The years will never take away
Our chance to start anew
It's only the beginning now
So dreams can still come true.

....by Gertrude B. McClain

Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become actions. Watch your actions; they become habits. Watch your habits they become character; Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.


Here are some MOTIVATIONS to help you on your fitness quest...

M-ake short term goals
O- ut with the negative thoughts
T-hink of why you want it
I- magine how you will feel
V- isualize the future you
A- cknowledge your successes
T- reat yourself with respect
I- nvestigate new ideas and foods
O- bserve your healthy lifestyle
N- ever give up and never give in
S- upport one another

Rita's Retreat motto:
In order to move past your mistakes you have to keep pushing yourself forward. The only person who is still beating you up over what you did is you and it's time to move on. You are not perfect, that's no mystery. But no one else is either. Set a goal today. Hold yourself to a high standard and force yourself to rise to your own expectations. Give yourself an emotional hug and start focusing on the future. You've learned from where you've been.
