Lose Weight and Enjoy Treats
Well it’s Wednesday and Hurricane Florence is almost here. I have quite a few friends who own property near or on the beach and all the ones I have talked to are worried and rightly so. Actually, I am worried and I don’t even own anything near the beach, but I love going to the beach. Why? I love the sand, the water, the people watching...
One Simple Thing I Do To Lose Weight…
I am excited about celebrating Mau Mau Libby’s 80 Birthday this weekend. What about you? What is one NON-WORK related thing you are excited about his week? Having something to focus on can help you get through the work week. Likewise, having a deadline (something to focus on) for your weight loss can do the same. For example, I am 5 weeks out from my families annual beach trip. I weighed 219 this morning, my goal is to hit 209 in 5 weeks. To motivate myself when I am tempted to go astray I will focus on that beach trip,...
Reduce Bloating, Drop Some Water Weight, and Improve Your Energy Levels
Today I am going to challenge you all to a 24 hour detox. As general rule, I am NOT a huge fan of detoxes mainly because of how they are marketed to the general population. They are marketed as a solution for permit weight loss when really it just helps eliminate some bloating, water weight, and improves your energy levels a touch. Detoxes are not a permit solution but they can help you feel better and get a jump start. With that said, I challenge you to a 24 hour fruit and veggie detox ;-). If you are like most people, you...
50 Random Ways To Show Random Acts Of Kindness
Have you performed at least one act of random kindness every day this week? I hope and pray you have. If you have please write back and share ;-). On Monday, I got up early and played with the kids so Beth could sleep in. On Tuesday, I showered the kiddos because I knew Beth was busy with dinner. On Wednesday I drove an extra hour to pick up some food items because someone had accidentally misplaced them. I don’t list those things to brag, but to show you that performing acts of kindness is not that hard. Plus, the...
5 Reasons To Avoid Processed Carbs
So the question for this Tuesday is, “If I could travel back in time I would visit…..” What is your answer? I thought this was going to be a quick easy question. I was wrong. But I am going with 1994, that was the year we moved from Montana to Florida and from Florida to Brazil. The reason I would like a “redo” is because while we lived in Florida I blew up to weigh over 230 lbs as a 3rd grader!!! Yes, you read that right...
Replace Grains with this…
Once again, it is Thursday and I am checking in with you seeing if you are sticking to the grain free challenge. If you are struggling, remember there are other starchy carbs you can consume other then nasty processed grains that are slammed with nutrients and minerals your body needs. These are my suggestions, sweet potatoes (don’t add brown sugar), peas (my favorite), lentils, beets (not my favorite), and squash. These starchy carbohydrates pack nutrient dense and are much better for you when compared to processed grains. I dare you to use them as a side dish ;-). In fact try this...
