The English weather is famed the world over for being wet. If you watch the Wimbledon Tennis Tournament on the TV then you may begin to suspect that England's bad weather reputation is true. So how may days of rain do we actually get in England? Is it over half of the days perhaps? As much as three quarters of the days perhaps?

Well no, actually only 1 out of 3 days in england has any rain it's unpredictable when they will be of course - but this means that for two thirds of the year we English people don't need an umbrella at all!

Many people who emigrate from england often say that they are trying to get away from the rain. Perhaps they don't realise that we have so many days without it.

What's the point of all this? The point is that for most of us it is very easy to anticipate the worst. The reason people think that england is a very wet place is because they are always anticipating the rain but don't anticipate the sun.

Positive thinking has been much maligned in the past and perhaps some of that skepticism is justified. Blindly believing that bad never happens would be incredibly foolish. However I happen to believe that good things do tend to happen to us more often than bad things but we spend so much time worrying about bad things happening that we don't notice them. Even if I couldn't prove that good things happen more often I can guarantee that the person who thinks positively will be happier more of the time.

Let me challenge you for a moment: would you rather be an unhappy person who is right or a happy person who is wrong? I'd choose happy any time.

Research also backs up the claims that being positive is good for you. Research has shown that being positive is goof for your health and well-being.

It also seems to work that by being positive you make good things happen to yourself more often as well. So you could be happy and have good things happen more often or you could be unhappy to make bad things happen more often. Which is better?

So there is little excuse for viewing life from a pessimistic point of view. It causes worry and worry causes stress which can destroy your health and happiness. Choose to be happy from this day on.

If you are trying to lose weight by only following a diet program that restricts calories, you tend to burn muscle protein first and slow down your metabolism. That is why physical exercise is necessary and beneficial to our health and weight loss program.

If you wish to speed up your weight loss through exercises, there are two types of exercise that are effective in burning unwanted fat and not lean body mass. Aerobics and resistance training are known to specifically burn body fat and increase metabolism.

These exercises also keep metabolism raised round the clock so you burn calories even while you sleep, change body composition by reducing fat and increasing muscle mass, improve body's ability to increase insulin and carbohydrate sensitivities and therefore not storing carbohydrate as fat.

Aerobic exercise involves regular, continuous,steady and rhythmic movement that is sustained for at least 20 minutes at the same pace. This type of exercise strengthens your heart and lung as well as your bones. When you do aerobics at moderate pace, your body prefers to burn fat which is already stored as body fat.

Fat-burning exercises are jogging, walking, cycling, swimming and aerobic classes. Anyone of these exercises are not difficult to do and to get motivated and avoid boredom, you can alternate these exercises.

When you walk, ensure that it is a steady nonstop brisk walking, at a pace that raises your heartbeat and makes you feel like you are exerting yourself. If you are new to jogging, start with brisk walking, then gradually add short stints of jogging, one minute of slow jogging and then back to walking for a few minutes.

The other effective exercise to burn fat and build muscle effectively is resistant or weight training. This training uses your muscle to push against gravity, and in the process of resisting it, you increase the strength, endurance and power to your muscles.

Therefore any exercises that make your muscles work are in fact resistant training. This includes activities such as climbing stairs, doing sit-ups etc. This type of exercise tones and firm your muscles and improves your shape and appearance. If you are working with weights, you might want to start with a low weight and gradually add more resistance by using heavier weights. This will train the muscle to work harder and grow stronger.

By building muscle, you create more metabolically active tissue, and muscles burn more energy even when at rest than does fat. The more muscle mass you build the more you will increase your metabolism.

Be sure to start any exercises with a warm-up and end with a cool-down. Warmups increase blood flow to your muscles and tendons and lubricate your joints and prepare them for the exercises. The cooldowns slow your heart rate gradually back to normal and give your body time to wind down. Cool-down means the slowed-down version of your main activity plus some serious stretching.

Once you have reached your weight loss goal, you may want to cut back slightly on your physical activity and maintain your weight loss through proper eating pattern.
