Eating right

This post is for ME!
Eating right is the most important part of losing weight. Remember, you can eat your way through any workout. That means it doesn't matter how many calories you burn during a workout, if you eat too many calories you will not lose weight. I have had people in my aerobic classes in the past say, "WOW, what a great work out! I can go eat ice cream now." The problem with that idea is that you just worked off 200-300 calories in a hour and the ice cream has 600 calories. Do the math! You will be gaining 1 lb a week with that theory. All that hard work and precious time is thrown right out the window! DON"T DO THAT TO YOURSELF!!!!
So here is the focus;
Count your calories
Put out the extra effort NOW
Don't short yourself.
I know we have been counting calories for a few months now and you are probably really good at it. BUT, for the next week or two I want you to really count those calories again. Get back on track. Take the time to reread http://wrachel15.blogspot.com/2012/02/eating-right-first-step.html for a reminder.

Put out the extra effort now. You will not be losing weight for ever and the more effort you put out now the sooner you can get back to maintaining instead of losing. Why drag it out? Also the longer you drag it out the more likely you are to give up. So, JUST DO IT!

Don't short yourself. Now is the time to really give it your all. Pretending doesn't count. If you are going to work hard, WORK HARD. If you are going to eat right, EAT RIGHT. Telling your self that you will do better next week only works if you are not telling yourself that every week.
So lets get our eating on track and really make this month count!
