A Rubber Band Reminder



It is so tough to start over again, isn't it? Once you've fallen off your routine, taking the first step can sometimes be the hardest. This is where my daughter, Kate, walks in. She promptly provided me with a rubber band to wear on my wrist as a gentle reminder to eat healthy and exercise each and every day.

Amazingly, something this simple is proving to be quite effective. Whenever I feel like "cheating," I look down at that rubber band and remind myself that I shouldn't eat that piece of chocolate, I should take a walk during lunch hour, I should choose fruit over a granola bar.

It's never too late to start over.
