Yep...the end of this week marks the half way point on the journey to a healthier '09!! For those of you who have been doing this from week one, and those who have joined recently, and even those who are starting now...we WILL succeed!! God is so faithful...I hope you know that!! I'm so proud of each person who has committed to this with me!
My trainer, Andy from Infinity Fitness in Westerville, has been sharing tips every day...and if you missed the tips this week, I've posted them below for you! Keep up the AMAZING work!!
-Make sure to get 7-8 hours of sleep EVERY night. Besides causing irritability, being tired can cause us to reach for our comfort foods which can cause a set back in our new lifestyle change!
-On your lunch break at work try walking the stairs, doing a few laps around the building or even a few exercises at your desk. You will be amazed at how refreshed and re-energized you feel to start the 2nd half of the day.
-Keep only healthy foods at home. If it isn’t in your house, you won’t be as tempted by it! Everyone in your family will benefit.
-Keep a food journal for 3 days to get an idea of how much you are eating and at what times. Include the time of the meal, the food and if you are really motivated the number of calories. www.thedailyplate.com will help you find how many calories are in foods.
-Stress will release hormones that promote weight gain. Look up on the internet a few basic stress relief tactics and use them frequently. God is a great stress reliever also.
-When eating peanut butter, make sure you buy “natural” peanut butter. This is the kind that you have to stir in the oil. The only ingredient in Natural peanut butter is peanuts. It doesn’t contain the palm oil, sugar and salt that regular peanut butter, like Jiff, does. Try the brand “Krema”.
I'm praying for you!!
