Steps to cut processed foods.

This is an interesting challenge.  Some of the weeks would be easier than others for me but it sure would get you to eating healthier and would improve health and weight loss.

Try something new

Now that we are getting out there and shedding the weight and getting in shape try adding in something new. The weather has been nice and it is a great time to just go have fun in the sun. Go for a walk, bike ride, or take the family to the park and play soccer. You will start feeling like you can do more things easier as you get in shape. It might take a few tries to get the hang of a new activity but it will get easier each time you do the activity. You could be surprised at what activities you will find that you like by just giving it a try. Here are some ideas and feel free to let me know some of the things you like. Swim, racquetball, bowling, volleyball, basketball, a new workout video, softball, or anything that can get you moving. Most importantly HAVE FUN!!!!

chart progress

How many of you are still keeping track of your workouts and eating on the charts you made?  How did you do so far?  We are almost to the end of the month and I hope your chart is all filled up.  Even if it isn't I want you to look at it and really think about how you did.  Did you do your workouts?  Did you stay in your calorie count?  If the answer is yes and yes you should have seen some results.  If you didn't do as well, look at where you might have been able to do better.  Did you workout but over ate?  Did you eat right but just couldn't get to work outs?  Did you start out the week with dedication then fall off by the end.  Did you not keep track at all? Really try to see what you might need to work on.  Unfortunately as adults we are less willing to do what ever it takes to get a sticker on our chart :) but it can be good information for us each to see where we can improve.  Think about what you might need to work on and let’s work on it.  Let me know what areas are hard and I’ll get you more information and try to help you in any way I can.
