Eat healthy during the Holidays !

I know that Thanksgiving is coming soon . That does not mean eat all you can since it is Turkey and there will be many others sides. Portion control is key ! You will pay later when you over indulge . Eat a healthy snack before you go to the party . I know that I have a shakeology before I go and it helps me not to eat to much . And all I know is that it helps me not eat the sweets which I have not craved that now that I am having my shake daily . You may have to bring a dish so bring a healthy dish . If you bring a dish you like and is healthy you know that you can eat that . Remember that Thanksgiving is about family and making memories and enjoying each other . Do not want to hurt anyone's feelings by not eating everything you will have to say no or you will add calories to you . Here are some of the words you can say . I am full no thank you , I have had enough thank you very much for offering . It is ok to say no you will be happy with yourself later . You do not want to go to the party feeling hunger . You will want to eat everything you see because you have not eaten and that is not good . It will add more calories because you will eat more you can not save your calories to eat more that is just more calories that you will add to your body .

You are worth it !! Why ?

Do you feel you are worth a better health ? I know times are tuff and you may not be able to get in my challenges . And you have seen the results I post you know the products work . Why do you think you are not worth it ?I know many have asked me is it free ? You have to invest in your self to get the results that I and many have made . You have to want to make the change in you . I have the tools you need if you are ready for change . When you invest in you the support you will get will be worth it . all I know at a gym you may not get the support from many that you will get in the group .Can you message the person at 24 hour fitness and tell them what you should eat ? How you are feeling that day ? Can you tell them you need more motivation ? Once you are at the gym say for the hour you are there you leave then that is it . I know that when I say you have to invest 170.00 for challenge pack people say they can not . You are getting the tools you need that will get you from the health that you want to be at and tell are you worth it ? All I know is that I am worth adding more years to my life . I know for a fact you are worth it !! Yes the economy is not good we all know that . But when you go out to eat you spend money , get your nails hair done . You can cut back on things if there is a will there is a way . I know I have found many ways to pay for my Shakeology . Do you want to have more energy ? Do you want to have happiness ? Do you have goals for a healthy life ? Just think how would you feel if you were at your goal weight ? Do you want to add years to your life ? YOU ARE WORTH A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE !

Getting Enough Rest

It is very important for you to get the rest you need . It is good for your health and overall feeling . I know that life can get busy and we find that we so not get enough sleep . Sleep is important for humans for memory, weight control, mood, stress level and cardiovascular health as well as your overall health. Sleep is also important for your safety because drowsiness caused by a lack of sleep may cause you to make mistakes that can be harmful to yourself and others.Such as when you are driving . If, after you retire for the night, you find yourself lying in bed for 20 minutes without falling asleep, get up and take part in a relaxing activity outside of your bedroom. Furthermore, your bedroom should be dark and quiet to help you go to sleep. Keeping your bedroom cool and comfortable will also help you get a restful night's sleep.

To do list ?

Do you make a to do list ? Do you find that you get more done when you have a to do list ? I know that I look at my list and know that I need to get what is on my list done for that day . I know that we get busy and we may not be able to get to it that is ok . You can add it to the next day for you to do then . Keeping track of what needs to get done is a great way to keep track of what you will get done and have to do . We get busy and we will forget to do it then we put it off and never get it done . There is a lot of great apps on your phone that can help you . I have a whiteboard that really helps to . Many people are using them to track long-term goals, evaluate their lives. New research shows that writing lists does the mind and body good in many ways, from making you happier to increasing your workout frequency .When people start making to do lists, and organize all the activities that need to be done, they are more likely to procrastinate. It is great when you have your work out at a time everyday and do it at that time . It is like a Dr appointment you will not cancel and keep on track . Will you do a to do list ?

Done three times a week, this barbell-based rapid weight loss and accelerated strength-training program reshapes a person's entire body extremely fast!

Unlike traditional strength workouts, which feature heavy weights that bulk people up, this program features light-tomoderate weights used at a higher rate of repetition. • The constantly changing tempo, body position, and speed of THE REP EFFECT breaks down more fat reserves, targets more muscle fibers, and burns more calories than traditional weight training.

They play video games all day long or the computers . It is time to get our kids moving . Tony is a lot of fun and makes the  kids move . I really wish that kids would get out more there is obesity in kids and that is very sad . Because what happens is that they will get illness at a early age . I know when I was a kid we were out side all the time but then again there was no computers and X box . I know now thou that it is scary out there with people that you can not trust in this crazy world we live in . But now they can work out inside the house and you could have fun doing it with them . Summer is here lets have fun with our kids get them moving ..

Do not skip a meal ! You can not loose weight that way .

                    How Your Body Reacts to skipping meals!

Your body goes into fasting mode during this carbohydrates,proteins ,and fats are all used to have energy .Skipping meals and restricting calories will create cravings.  Rapid high blood sugar occurs when you give into these cravings. As a result, your body creates a high amount of triglycerides, which convert to fat-storage. In addition, the depleted glycogen causes low energy levels because blood sugar is not being replaced. Unfortunately, the weight that is lost is mostly water (glycogen is made up of mostly water) and muscle .The slowed metabolism will also have a tough time digesting your food, if you cram in all your meals at one time. This is also commonly seen in people who skip meals. They get so hungry they eat more then one meals worth at one sitting. The already slowed metabolism is going to take a lot longer to work the over sized meal throughout your body. Once again, resulting in weight gain.

What makes me love what I do

So today on my facebook page a get a post from Stacy . You make think people do  not read what you post they do some people may be lurking your page and you may not know it . I know Stacy reads my post and enjoys them . This is what she posted wow this really made my day . Helping others by being accountable to myself . 
 7 months later I went from size 5-6 down to 0-1 and lost 5lbs. So now I weigh 125. I noticed that 


the more I exercise, that I put on weight and that is totally fine with me, it's the muscle weight. 


Also, saying NO to the sugar. I am digesting food much better now. Thank you Lissa!
