Shake it up and Lose that Weight!

I thought that I could change everything at once, I wanted to lose weight and lose it immediately, hardly eating and working out like crazy. Nobody needed to tell me what to do next, my body was crying out, “SLOW DOWN GIRL “. My eyes couldn’t see chocolate cake and pass it by, rather than reduce, I found out I was expanding. I got so discouraged, I stopped everything I was doing all together. Then one day I got in a discussion with a friend and she gave me some damn good advise that I’ll like to share with you today.
~Try cereals that has more of fibre with skin milk (no sugar).
~ More of vegetables and fruit.
~ Water should be your next best friend.
~ We’re more successful when we make small, not-so much obvious changes but a simple 30-minute walk each day. She introduced me to Leslie Sansone and her Walk Away the Pounds videos. The weight loss will be slower, of course, but you’ll make sustainable changes. More importantly, we stay sane while doing it.

~ Don’t stick with the same old activities and routines every day for your exercise, shake it up from time to time. Once you body gets use to the same old routine you stop losing weight. Get something that is a bit challenging because each time we step out of the comfort zone, we’re taking a risk and risk-taking is the only way to know what we’re really capable of.
~ Try not to focus too much on weight loss because the more you try, the harder it is. For example, That scale we step on every day grows horns and fangs and carries a pitchfork. The cereal we have for breakfast every day starts to taste more and more like old sawdust. We start to think: “I have to do this every single day…for the rest of my life?” At which point, your mind may declare, “That’s it! I simply cannot do this.
~ Remember that you don’t have to have the energy to do this for the rest of your life. You only need enough for today and, even better, you don’t have to be perfect. Take it one day at a time.
This week I decided to shake things up from my regular routine, I got Zumba dancing videos and oh boy, I’m I having fun! Leave a comment and tell me how you’ll challenge yourself this week.
