Are You Starting A Diet on Monday?

By

Don't Diet!

"Diets don't work," flatly states my friend Dr. Wayne Andersen, the author of The Habits of Health and Living a Longer Healthier Life, and mentor in Judith's (my wife) health coaching practice.  Diets are short term decisions, not long term behaviorial and lifestyle changes so they don't work.

Don't Exercise Either!

Exercise is inefficient and often ineffective for healthy weight loss.  Exercise is important, but it needs to be in the right context of an overall program of health.

Do Invest 3 Minutes to watch A Weighty Conversation!

Below this video message is information to connect with a Health Coach of your choice or Judith.  Watch the message, then keep reading.



Do A Program, Not A Diet!

Your health rests upon making a better decision right now! 

  • If your Health Professional or Health Coach sent you A Weighty Conversation, then get back in touch with him or her to help you.  They will guide you.
  • If you need a Health Coach, please contact Judith McCarthy.  Email her right now and you'll soon be on your way to a healthier (and happier) 2011.

My Story

This is the program that helped me lose my weight and keep it (mostly) off for over 2 years!  Is your lifestyle preventing you from really being more fully on-purpose?

Join me.  Over the holidays I packed on more than a few extra pounds and I'm starting back on the program Monday to lose 15 pounds!  Regardless of whether you need to lose 15 pounds or 150 pounds, join with me to live a healthier weigh… on-purpose!

Be Wise!

If you are on Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol medication or obese, be sure to consult your doctor. Your health coach will work with you and your doctor to get you to a healthy weight and lifestyle.  Don't take unnecessary risks!

Quotes on Health

"As I see it, every day you do one of two things: build health or produce disease in your self."

Adella Davis (1904 – 1974)

"Look to your health: and if you have it, praise God, and value it next to conscience; for health is the second blesing that we mortals are capable of, a blessing money can't buy."

Izaak Walton (1593 – 1683)

Now there are more overweight people in America than average-weight people.  So overweight people are now average.  Which means you've met your New Year's resolution."

Jay Leno (1950 – )

Do You Really Know Who You Are?

By

Do you really know who you are?  Are you maturing or just getting older?

Purpose is ultimately a spiritual matter.  Most of us are on neutral ground when we talk in terms of mind, body, spirit.  For two decades people of many faiths and even people of no faith have participated in and benefited from the On-Purpose® Approach as it is.  It just works because the principles are universal! 

When Central Florida Christian Chamber of Commerce President Mark Goldstein urged me to offer the program from a solidly Christian point of view to the Chamber members, I resisted.  Not because I was unwilling, but because I am the Board Chair and didn't want to abuse my position.  Mark pressed hard upon me and prevailed with the Board's blessings.  Could they really say no?  See the problem?

My Christian faith is the central point of integration for my life.  Generally, I don't wear it on my sleeve, nor do I hide it.  I like the idea of having "living water language" that is both secular and sacred.  So much of Christianity is riddled with jargon and scripture references that is an unnecessary barrier to entry to the faith.  Jesus taught in parables when not dealing with the religious elites.  On-Purpose makes faith more accessible to all.

Therefore, in partnership with the Central Florida Christian Chamber of Commerce, I am thrilled to share with you the replay of the first ever On-Purpose Leader Experience for Christians.  Here is a link so you can listen.  (55 minutes plus 20 minutes of Q&A)

If you are serious about maturing as a leader of your life, then you want to invest an hour of your life to transform your life.  This six-week experience is that good.  Registration for this experience closes after Monday, September 20.  Please listen in and join me for the next five weeks so you, too, can…

Be On-Purpose!

On-Purpose Profile: Michelle Aguilar

Weight loss has a definite physical component, but there is so much more to being well.  Our heart and soul, however, are what's often eating at us and why we eat to fill the void.  This video
from the I Am Second series with Michelle Aguilar, a winner of The Biggest Loser TV show, provides great insight into the cause and cure.  (Click on the image below of Michelle to watch the video.)

After watching Michelle's story, continue to view many more stories of some famous and not so famous people and why they are second.

Do You Know About Faithful Fish?

By

LogoLeftOn-Purpose Profile: Chelsea Eubanks

Faithful Fish is an on-purpose business founded by Chelsea Eubanks from
the loss of many loved ones within a brief time.  Rather than let it
send her world into a crisis of confidence and despair, Chelsea decided
she could prosper by being true to her interests while caring for others.  CLICK HERE to read her story and to shop her clothing line of classic polos, shirts, hats, and outerwear.

Often the most meaningful businesses are birthed from solving a
problem that touches us personally.  If you've ever met an insurance
agent whose father died early and the insurance policy left behind cared
for his mother and college education, then you've likely met a
successful and committed insurance agent.  Scars may mark us, but we
determine if they are distinguish or disfigure us.  

What lesson can you learn from Chelsea?

Allow me the pleasure of plugging Faithful Fish in this On-Purpose Business Minute:

On-Purpose Leader Experience: Webcast 1 Replay

“What am I going to do when I grow up?” 

It is funny
when we say it, yet the price of not really knowing who we are as
grown-ups is needlessly expensive to every aspect of our lives.

I
get it!  You’re stretched to the max and burdened under more
commitments than you have time.  Life is wrapped so tight, that you’re
not sure where to begin with making your life make sense.

Now, you
can test drive The On-Purpose Leader Experience
which is based on
The On-Purpose Person.  Listen and watch the replay of the
introductory webcast by CLICKING HERE.   You will be taken to
the replay page.   Be
sure to click on “SLIDES” in the upper left hand
corner so you can watch and listen.

The program includes
five
remaining webcasts, replays, and web site support.

Experience what it
means to be on-purpose and to be in a community of on-purpose persons in
creation for the six plus weeks while the Experience is happening.  The next Experience begins on September 8, 2010.   Preregistration is now open.  You can also register here.
