Every Day Is A New Day!!!

Hey everyone isn't this a wonderful day, God bestows many blessings on us and one is always a brand new day. Remember that when you are out and about and you lets say stop at Dairy Queen, like we did today after my kids last day of swim lessons as a celebration for them. They did awesome and I'm so proud of the progress they made, of course Ella and Olivia still need some work so I plan on putting them back into another session when I get back from my trip to the Azores to see my hubby in a few weeks yaaaa! If you are looking for a great swimming program you have to go to Karen Eaton, "Karen's Aquatics" she's awesome if you need info contact me I have registration forms or look her up. Anyway I was looking at that yummy Mocha Moolatta that was calling my name and guess what "I actually passed it up", I'm so proud of myself it was hard let me tell you, but sometimes you just have to bite the bullet and say no to certain things. Although I'm not in the weight loss mode right now I do try to maintain and not overindulge, and skipping this means I won't feel so guilty this weekend if I do eat something I shouldn't.

Long term weight loss and management doesn't come with strict dieting it comes with disciplining yourself and eating in moderation, don't blame others who make yummy deserts for that potluck or picnic, learn how to control yourself. Enjoy food but don't overindulge especially if you are trying to lose weight. Track your food, write it down, it's proven that journaling helps in the long term. So Here are 6-Steps to Help Transform Your Body.

1. Control your portions- Don't eat until you are FULL: eat until you're NOT HUNGRY!!
2. Pay attention to everything you eat - Fresh veggies, lean meats, and foods lower in fat and higher in fiber are important to weight loss.
3. Consistent 5-6 small meals a day - Very IMPORTANT, stick to a schedule so you do not get hungry and overeat, and so your body has enough fuel t rebuild after exercise.
4. Hydrate and cleanse your body with water- Your body is around 70% water. Drink at least 2 liters (8 glasses) per day.
5. Fortify your diet with a multivitamin - A good multivitamin ensures that you get all the nutrients you need when you are cutting calories. Check out www.advocare.com/03023877 or contact me to get you some great supplements, remember they only supplement your diet.
6. Refrain from eating at the wrong times - When you work out and especially when you sleep, you want your body to be in the fat-burning mode. When you exercise be sure to eat about one-hour prior so you have energy but your stomach is not full. Leave a two hour window prior to going to bed without eating, only drink water or green tea.

Ok go to it, have a great weekend and remember say no to some things and yes to others as long as you are not saying yes to everything.

To Your Success,

Victoria
