Changing our weights... changing our habits... changing how we feel about ourselves... can seem like a pretty big mountain to climb. But of course, if we break it down to one step at a time and keep going, we'll make it to the top of that thing. It's also easier to climb when we have company. The only time you'll be alone on this journey is when you close your eyes to the support offered you. We're all doing this together.
One thing on my To Do list for this week is to make a motivation list. Click here to read a fabulous article about such a list. I challenge you all to do this with me. :)
It's all about feeling good about ourselves and being healthy. Loving the way we look and the way we live. Loving who we are and knowing that we have a lot to give our families and this world. Getting my brain and heart to accept that and live it... that's harder to do than to say. But, it can be done. It will be done.
Enough sappy stuff already!!! Here's the tips shared at the first meeting.
Write EVERYTHING down!
Use a food scale
Measure your food - get the proper portion size
Drink your water
Exercise
Take your Point Slider to the grocery store with you.
Food tips:
1 cup skim milk = 2 points
3/4 cup skim milk= 1 point
use low calorie bread (45 calories a slice, higher in fiber) for 1 point instead of 2 points for regular bread
