Tip for Thursday

You've likely heard this one before, but it's true. Drinking water can curb your appetite. Try guzzling a full glass of it before a meal, and there's a good chance you'll eat less. If you have trouble getting cold water down, try drinking the stuff at room temperature. Just don't fall victim to those silly high-calorie waters (Glacéau VitaminWater, SoBe Life Water, etc.). Remember to drink 6 to 8 eight ounce glasses of water a day. This makes a huge difference. If you fail to drink enough water your body retains what water you have, thus adding weight!

Weigh in Wednesdays

Alright, alright. I am ready to fess up. I weighed in at 259.4 last week. :(

This week I have been forced to diet for my health though, so I will keep you posted on what my weigh in is and what went well and didn't for me...

You?

Tackle It Tuesday

Alright ladies! If I can do this, you can too!

Set some goals for this week and stick to them! Come on, you can do it. Mine is no sugar. Yuck. No candy, no sugar, no fruit sugar, no flour, nothing. I have to because of my health, but that doesn't mean it will make it easy... so what are you doing?

Oh plus... I went walking last night and today. :) And I've gone pee like 50 times already, that means I have been drinking the water right?

Ok now... what do you plan to tackle?

Maintain Monday!

It is Maintain Monday! It is time to refocus and regroup after a crazy weekend. Now is the time to think, what do you have to do to maintain focus this week. What are your goals for the week? What can you do to make sure you maintain and reach your goal?

For me, this week I’m going back to basics. Follow my meal plan and just try to keep up with my exercise for the week. I’m taking it easy as I’m recovering from a cold. So for me it is just get through by eating healthy and keep moving (even if it is a slower pace than normal).

Good luck!

Weekly Challenge

Okay Ladies! It is Sunday and the start of a new week. This week I challenge you to write down everything you eat. Yes, EVERYTHING! I have found that writing down what you eat helps make you accountable for the outcome at the end of the week. Why did my weight go up? WOW, I lost 2 lbs.! The outcome depends on what you put into your body. So for one week write down every morsel, every bite, sip, crumb, etc.

I have been keeping a food journal (as part of my Weight Watchers plan) for 9 months now. I have written down everything I have eaten for about 95% of the time. When I get off track I go back to the week where I lost 2 lbs. and look at what I ate. I can see the difference between that week and what I just ate. This always helps me get back on track.

Also, remember to include veggies, protein, fiber, dairy and yes even some oil (olive, canola, fish, etc. - good oils) in your diets. Take a multi vitamin and drink tons of water!

Good luck with my challenge!
