April recommit

This is IT!!!! April is here and I'm ready for a great month, are you?!?!?!?! The weather is warmer and the sun is up earlier (and later). What a great time of year! It is time to recommit! I always view spring as a time of year to make those new year resolutions a reality.
I want you to think of a new weight loss or health goal you would like to reach in the next 2 months or adjust your old one. A reasonable healthy weight loss goal is 1 to 2 lbs a week. You can lose 1 lb a week just by eating healthy. If you are shooting for -2 lbs a week you will need to eat right and exercises faithfully. If you eat right and work really hard you can even hit -3 lbs a week here and there. Our goal is to lose weight in a healthy way and at a rate that can be maintained and kept off.
I want you to be successful!
If you lose more than 2 lbs a week you are more likely to not lose or even gain some back the next week because your body is trying to adjust. Remember slow and steady wins the race? We are not in a race but slow and steady reach their weight loss goal and keep it off. :)
Also for those of you that are reading but not posting your weight loss, this is a great time to jump on the band wagon(even if you are not actually reading this on April 2nd). If you want me to add you to the list on the left just leave a comment with your name on it any time and I'll get you on there. Remember my goal is not to put you up on the blog to embarrass or bully you but to add accountability to your equation. If you would rather not, that is fine too. I know some of you are doing great and I am really impressed with your determination and efforts. It can also be a great encouragement to see others succeeding and hear their good and bad times. By posting we all can be that encouragement and support group to each other.
So here we go!!! Weigh ins are tomorrow! Let's have a GREAT April!!!
