Well, maybe not just yet, but I am off to Los Angeles for a workshop provided by Peak Potentials called Train the Trainer and I will learn loads and loads of very useful information that will let me become a much better and more effective seminar presenter. Presenting seminars is somthing that I have wanted to do ever since I thought of bringing my message of Weight Management to people who really wanted to reduce their body weight to what they considered ideal weight and maintain that weight for the rest of their lives thorough the program that I developed, Take Weight Off Your Mind. I conducted a few seminars, but didn't know exactly how to reach the public and therefore determined that the internet would be the best way, but I still want to conduct effective, fun and informative live seminars throughout the country and this workshop will get me started.
I understand that the sessions will be long - they will start at 9:00 a.m. and end at 11:00 p.m. each day, Monday through Friday - but I also understand the the energy level at the sessions is so high that you don't realize that you have spent the entire day listening and learning. I'm looking forward to it.
I have finished the fourth session of my trial e-course and it seems to be going well - I am anxious to get the feedback so I can start revising and fine tuning it and get it ready for the public. I have really enjoyed doing this trial run and I think everyone who is participating is also getting some fun and education from it.
I will get back with you as soon as I return - I am not going to take my computer with me because I don't think I'll have time to do anything with it - but I am going to take copious notes and you will hear all about it over the next few weeks.
Until then, talk at ya later

Sixteen Tons - No, Not Quite - 9,960 Lbs-Almost Five Tons!
WOW! Almost 5 ton - can you imagine. Now, that probably doesn't sound like much to someone who has been lifting weights for a long time and is strong and healthy, but for me, a person who hasn't done much exercise ever, that is a lot! And you know what, I can see it in my body, even in this short period of time. I can see the muscles forming in my arms, the saggy upper arms are firming up, my stomach is firming up and I am so pleased.
Another thing that has occurred, much to her dismay, I am now taking my little (not as little as she should be) Min-Pin, She-Ra out for a walk every morning. I have let her get overweight and she is not nearly as active as she used to be. When I come home from my workout each morning, I wake her up, put her harness on her and take her for a walk. She just looks at me with those big, sad eyes that say "Why ME?" and then reluctanly starts walking. We only go for about a block now, but I am increasing the distance just a little each day until we can go several blocks. Now, for someone who really isn't an advocate of exercise, I am doing well, don't you think?
Today I am putting the finishing touches on my third session of my trial e-course. The subject is a continuation of last week's Self-Image. I hope everyone is getting as much out of it as I am. Even though I have given this a lot of thought and have been working on my own self-image for a while, it is different when I plan to give the information in a comprehensive form to others - trying to convey my feelings and my experiences in a way that they can learn from- it is a great learning tool for me. I have learned more in these last few weeks of putting this course together than I ever thought I could - and in some areas, more than I learned by practicing the principles. I now know what is meant by "you can learn by teaching."
I am also working on my articles so they can be published. I wrote several articles for a friend who was going to start a magazine for women - unfortunately that project didn't get off the ground, but I still have the articles and I am rewriting them for publication. I have been doing a lot of research to learn just what needs to be done to get the word out in the "internet" public about my passion, "Weight Management" and it is a lot - but it is coming along. Soon I will get the hang of it and you will be hearing about me from several sources. I told you how technologically challenged I am - well, I still am. During my last teleconference call, I forgot to call the number that would allow me to record the session, so I had to do the entire session again, without the live interaction. I am now sitting down and spending no less than 15 minutes a day saying over and over again "Pay attention to the details", "Pay attention to the details", Pay attention to the details." And this is paying off, because I now find myself stopping before I start anything and say "Pay attention to the details" and I find that I am not redoing everything two or three times. What a wonderful thing the mind is, huh?
Guess I'll quit for now and get busy on my articles and my new e-book which will be made available to anyone who asks for it by the end of the month. Talk at ya later,
