"Never Say Diet", by Chantel Hobbs: Great Guidelines For Healthy Weight Loss

I just finished reading "Never Say Diet", by Chantel Hobbs. I think this book has a great guideline to follow for a healthy way of living. It focuses on working out first and then gradually changing your eating habits. As a person that has struggled with weight issues since a young age, I felt at times as if I was reading my own words. Chantel weighed over 300 pounds and with lots of determination and discipline, lost 200 pounds. She shows us how she did it and how anyone can have great results as long as they follow the guidelines that she outlines for us throughout the book. There are some great exercises shown throughout the book as well with options that are more challenging as you get stronger. The whole plan takes 16 weeks and comes in 4 phases. If you have some downfalls, then you will be in the phases longer and it will take more than the 16 weeks. In the beginning phases, you have to be more disciplined and you will slowly wean off certain things. During the later phases, you will be able to reintroduce certain things that will help you stick to your weight loss for the long term. I think it's a great book to help people that have issues with food. I think it is also a wonderful way for people to learn that they don't have to be afraid of exercise or of the gym.

Book Review: "The Final Summit: The Quest to Find the One Principle that Will Save Humanity", by Andy Andrews

I just finished reading an interesting story called, "The Final Summit: The Quest to Find the One Principle that Will Save Humanity", by Andy Andrews. I wasn't sure about this book when I had to pick it out of a group of books, but I was pleasantly surprised. The book is about a group of travelers from all different time periods that meet up for a final summit to try to save humanity from being wiped out. They have to figure out what the single most important principle is to put them on the right pathway to what God intended it to be. The catch is they only have 5 chances and they are on a time limit. I didn't want to put the book down because I wanted to know if they would figure it out in time and I really was curious to know what this principle would be. If you are anything like me, then you will try to solve it all throughout the book. The story started off a bit slow at the beginning, but then I really got into it. I learned a bit of history on the way, that I didn't know about and that most people actually will find interesting as well. I won't give it away though, because you might not read the book then. Most of the travelers are well known people throughout history such as Winston Churchill, Benjamin Franklin, etc.. Again, don't want to give the story or all the characters away. I received this book free from the publisher through BookSneeze®.com. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.

Making Childhood Dream Reality

I have always had a dream to become a writer. I used to write short stories as a child and had a passion for reading. This is one of the reasons that I started to write a blog. I wanted to see if I can write. I can talk for hours, but can I put my mumbo jumbo together on paper and make something spectacular fly out to the readers. I am still not sure if I can, but I am going to try. My first book will be fiction and I am also currently trying to collaborate on a cookbook with a friend of mine. I have no clue when I will have the time to write this book, but I am going to try to do it when I actually get some quiet moments. I wish I had a muse, so if one wants to come and help me out, "I am here"! It must be nice to have a muse. I don't fully understand that really. Is a muse an imaginary friend or some entity, who knows? I don't have one. I'll check in from time to time and might even give a sneak peak into what I am writing about. You will have to wait at the edge's of your seat's or not. It's good to be back on here. Hope some of you are still here, checking in on my silly nonsense. Tata for now!
