77. Get some sunshine early every day.
78. Need a jump start?  Hire a GOOD personal trainer for 4 months to get you going.

90. Go to ThisIsWhyYoureFat.com and look at what some people eat
91. Before you eat anything, ask yourself “Will this bring me closer to my goals?  Or take me away from them?”
92. Stay satisfied longer by having protein, fats, and vegetables in every meal.
93. Get your priorities straight: Do you want to look and feel great?  Or to eat a muffin that will make you bloated and crash your energy levels in 20 min?
94. Focus on metabolic resistance training.  Building and maintaining lean muscle will raise your metabolism and keep you healthy and mobile.
95. “The more you cook, the better you look.”  Stay out of the fast food drive-thru.
96. Stick to one plan long enough to give it a chance.  If you change workouts or diets based on every ill-informed magazine artilce you read, you’ll never have a chance to make progress on any of them.
97. Take note of how you feel after every meal.  If you’re lethargic, cut down on the carbs.
98. Take ACTION on something EVERY day.  Want to eat 2 apples a day?  Don’t go and buy just four apples.  You’re out of luck in 2 days.  Go and get 14 instead.
99. Remember that a great body is built one day at a time.  Every day that you live according to your plan brings you one day closer to your goals!
