Be Optimistic, Live Longer!

A new study came out that shows that optimistic women live longer. A quote from a study author:

"'Taking into account income, education, health behaviors like [controlling] blood pressure and whether or not you are physically active, whether or not you drink or smoke, we still see optimists with a decreased risk of death compared to pessimists,' says Dr. Hilary Tindle, lead author of the study."

Keep the hope alive! You'll live longer!

4 by 4 Results (A Bit Late)

A very late run down of the 4x4 week results. Overall, none of us managed to lose 4 pounds in 4 weeks, but two of us did decrease our weight. The Mother was down 1 pound overall (super given how much she has lost already), and I lose 2.5 pounds.

Onward and always positive... !
