A Few Things to Remember!!

Please use the calorie corner as an easy way to look up calories in the foods you eat on a daily basis.  I have added some new items today and I will make an effort going forward to add more foods daily.  Please feel free to email me those foods that you eat often and I will add to the list sumrya@yahoo.com

Remember to exercise first thing in the morning if possible, eat your first meal right after working out although not before drinking two large glasses of water, one warm with lemon and one cold.  Keep your metabolism going all day by feeding it every 2 to 3 hours.  Dinner should be before 7pm and if you can be in bed by 11 that will help speed your weight loss and keep you healthy and HAPPY!

The key to living a healthy lifestyle is holding yourself responsible for what you put in your body on a daily basis.  Most of you already have them, but keep a food journal, write down exactly what you eat and when, this will help keep you on track.  Of course, limit alcohol! A glass of red wine once in a while is actually good for you, but drinking glasses of red wine, bottles of beer and other hard alcohol will inhibit your ability to reach your fitness goals.

I have heard several comments to the likes of "You have to Live!" "You can't starve yourself" "You have to have fun" etc, all true, however ALL ARE excuses to eat and do what you want even if it isn't what is right for your healthy lifestyle. "Living" is keeping yourself healthy so that you can live a longer more fulfilled life.  Drinking and Eating to excess is not "living", keeping on extra weight especially belly fat is not "living", Fun should not be correlated to how much you eat and/or drink but measured by the memories you make with family and friends.  The happier and healthier you are the more living you'll do and the more FUN you'll have!!
