INSTRUCTIONS MANUAL

Tuesday, 19 February 2008

It seems just about everything comes with an instructions manual. For instance, I saw these really pretty white, wooden rocking chairs in a catalog and just had to have them. So I called the toll-free number and ordered a pair. Ten days later, my doorbell rang and I answered to find a delivery man standing there.I looked to the left, then to the right but I didn't see any rocking chairs. I looked the UPS man squarely in the eye and asked, So where are my rocking chairs?The nice man in brown told me, Oh, Mr. . They're right here, in these two big boxes. You just have to put them together.And, oh! You should have seen the instructions manual that came with those two chairs. I'm not proud to say, it took me a whole hour and 45 minutes to put them together. But I am proud to say that I did finally manage to get them assembled! Whew!I bought one of those new high-tech HD TV's not too long ago. My monster of a TV came with a monster-sized instruction manual, too! Worse, the instructions were written in such small print that I had to get out a magnifying glass to be able to read them!Everything we buy comes with instruction manuals, from dish washers to computers to cars. But there's one thing that doesn't come with an instructions manual and that one thing would be you! When we were born to our parents, an instructions manual was not part of the deal.But over the past 3 1/2 decades, I have worked hard to give you each an "instructions manual" that would help keep you healthy, fit and feeling young. It's not a huge manual, either. It's condensed and really to the point.I have given this instructions manual out to millions of people over the 30+ years of my crusade. And here are the nuts and bolts, the Reader's Digest version of my instructions manual for you and your bodies.1)You have to love and care enough about yourself to take good care of yourself. I know that you take care of a lot of other people but, remember, you have got to put your own name on that list, too.2)You have got to portion out what you eat from the six major food groups. Those would be fruits, vegetables, dairy, fat, proteins and starches. Many of you like only a few of the foods in these groups. And then some of you like all of them. And by that I mean you may love some of them too much! Remember, it's all about portions!3)You must add real movement to your body daily. I'm telling you, your body was born to be alive. It was created to jump, dive and dance. Without exercise, your body grows old and tired before its time. And hey, you deserve a longer, more fit life. Right?So, there you go! There are no 23 mind-challenging steps to put your rocking chair together. No extra-fine print for you to try and read. Just three very simple steps and easy instructions for you to follow. Three rules to live by. My instructions sound so simple, don't they? Well they are, really!Go back and start with instruction #1 because in that one is included love for yourself. And with that love you have for yourself, you can move mountains...and hips!I've created motivational books for you, great workouts for you and the best food program out there for you. Yes, I've given you tools to help with the instructions. So use the tools and follow the instructions faithfully and you'll transform yourself in to one lean, mean, white, wooden rocking chair!(You know what I mean!)Love,
