When You're "Hot", You're Hot! Don't Stop!

After a full week of "plateauing" at 224.5, I finally broke through to 222.0. This makes my total weight loss -16.5 lbs. (just over one-third of my 42 pound weight loss goal) in 27 days (just over one-quarter fo the available time!

Which brings us to an important topic: What do you do when you get ahead of your goal?

Because here's what I usually do. I... s-l-o-w... d-o-w-n. I take it easy. I eat a brownie!

Which is interesting because our good friend, Jim Packard (a great guy and one of the most successful distributors in a company called Send Out Cards), just sent Andrea and I a full box of Send Out Cards brownies as a thank you gift a teleseminar we're conducting for his team next week.

And I have to tell ya... those brownies are calling my name.

Richard... Richard... eat me!

And my first thought is, Heck I'm ahead of schedule - I can eat one of those brownies! And if I at just one, what difference would it make? The answer is: It would stop my positive momentum. (Sorry, Jim! Thanks, but the brownies are going to have to wait.)

The lesson... whether you're selling or creating or dieting... is: When you're on a roll, keep rolling. Don't stop.

When you're hot, you're hot. Don't stop.

Send Out Cards is a great system I use to keep in touch with clients, they also have the ability to send food gifts, like the brownish you mention.

Way to go! Great job! Give the brownies to someone else and keep the momentum going - you can do it!
