So, I was recently reminded that weight loss and healthy living is not just about looking good…it is about being healthy, preventing disease, and feeling good. I cannot agree with this more. Looking good is really just the icing on the cake because obviously, if we had to choose between looking good and being healthy we would all choose good health!
Lucky for us, these two things are not opposed. We can have our cake and eat it too…or wait, we can have our fruits and veggies, and eat them too:)
I felt like it was time for a progress update…since I started my blog on 5/1/2013 I have lost about 3 pounds. I have been down as much as 4, but I keep bouncing back and forth. I am trying not to be too focused on the scale, and instead focus on how I feel, how my clothes fit, and I did take some new measurements. I am definitely feeling less bloated and I feel thinner which I attribute to the increase in healthy foods and increased water intake which always keeps things in balance:)
As for workouts, I want to do better. I fit in a work out 4 days last week for about an hour each time. In order to reach my goal, I think I will need to get at least 5 days in, and 6 days would be better. Also, I am increasing weight training and not spending all my time doing cardio. I am not very experienced with weight training and the best weight workouts I have done were in a group class called Body Combat, but since that is not available to me anymore, I am trying to put together my own program and may employ the help of a local trainer. I am also using the websites Livestrong and Hasfit for workout advice. Through this blog, I have also discovered other blogs that have great information that with their permission I would love to share!
I am continuing to use Knockout which is available on my website at www.GoSlimFL .com and it is helping with food cravings and appetite as well.
I hope you are joining me on this weight loss and healthy living journey! Keep a notebook with your personal stats as it will help to keep you motivated and on track. Remember, even making a small change is better than making no change at all!! We will get there with perseverance and determination.
