Slim Down While You Laugh It Up! by Janice Taylor
Did you know that laughter~
* Reduces levels of certain stress hormones.
* Boosts the immune system.
* May lead to hiccupping but will dislodge mucus plugs from the respiratory tract! (Oh, how appealing!)
* Gives you a full body workout (works the diaphragm and abdominal, respiratory, facial and back muscles).
* Ever feel exhausted after the giggles? You just had an aerobic workout. (My kind of exercise!)
* Gets those positive endorphins pumping! Laughter invokes feelings of happiness and joy!
* Promotes creative thoughts.
* Creates bonding with your fellow human. Nothing better than a shared laugh!
Here are a few yuks to start your week and to help you bond with your neighbor!
“My wife will say this to me – “Honey, I want you to tell me if I’m getting fat.” And I say, “All right, and you tell me if I start getting retarded.” ~ Jeff Foxworthy
“It serves me right for keeping all my eggs in one bastard.” ~ Dorothy Parker
“Instead of getting married again, I’m going to find a woman I don’t like and give her a house.” ~ Lewis Grizzard
“My mother buried three husbands – and two of them were just napping. ~ Rita Rudner
“We never talked to each other in my family. We communicated by putting Ann Landers articles on the refrigerator.” ~ Judy Gold
CAUTION: Don’t Tease, If You Please … New York University’s latest research indicates that a well-meant joke is more than likely to be taken the wrong way. To avoid unknowingly hurting someone’s feelings make yourself the butt of your jokes.

Spread the word … NOT the icing!

The Maker’s Diet was designed by Jordan Rubin, a man who, in the past, suffered from Chrons disease. I read at http://www.projectweightloss.com about the Maker’s nutrition plan. This diet is based in Biblical principles and Rubin focused on the four pillar of health in constructing the diet: physical, spiritual, emotional, and mental.

Many years ago I bought a large snail-sculpted beeswax candle which because it was so charming of itself I never intended to burn. However when the time came to find a candle to light in front of my picture of OLOW* I thought the snail would be a perfect representation of my most favorite mantra phrase that my techno-mentor Janice Taylor oft times chants in her delicious missives to us: “the turtle wins this race”. Substitute snail and voila! a perfect daily reminder! With that inspiration I happily and finally lit that beautiful snail candle for the first time and for every morning after that as part of my morning practice when I rededicate my permanent weight loss intention to myself and OLOWL. Metaphors and Rituals! I love ‘em!
Lastly but just as importantly is to state my intention that in sharing this small but joyful story with others my practice that I have described above will be further empowered.
