For me, getting up onto that scale is like taking the death walk. For people like me, I hit dissappointment whenever I step on. SO, I decided to ditch the scale and stick with inches! I have lost 4 inches around my hips, and I'm STOKED! Getting great news like this has helped me every day to stay motivated ! It's been a great adventure! Now I'm still human so I eat unhealthy here and there. Especially because of the holidays. But I recently read a Nutrition tip, and it noted that the holidays are no excuse to eating unhealthy. Just because you're on vacation, doesn't mean your eating habits are too. So she gave a couple tips which I absolutely loved! 1. Keep your high calorie foods small portioned, and your vegtables to a very LARGE portion when eating a meal. 2. When you're craving that yummy chocolate cake in the kitchen, distract yourself, they say it takes around 2 minutes for your craving to disappear. (Count me in for that one, I'm a big chocolate/sugar craver.) 3. When you are craving those things, ask yourself " What do I want more?" For ex. Do I want that chocolate cake, or a body I will feel proud of?" She also states, that on some occassions it is okay to choose the chocolate cake...and I'm assuming she is assuming that we know the difference between the " I want it more" occassion, and the traditional party. 4. Nobody is perfect. We all eat unhealthy sometimes. Just don't let that one time during the day, let you beinge on food the rest of the day because you feel like you've failed. Keep up the good work, and shake it off! 5. As hard as it is to stay fit, and get into shape in the first place, it's harder and more depressing to be overweight.
Remember, those who read this, What do you want YOUR body to look like for 2011? I know I want to get into shape, and feel GOOD about myself! Build my confidence, and have a smile on my face! When I accomplish this, I know I'll find even more blessings on the way!
