I have officially lost 25 pounds! I made it through my first 90 day Challenge and couldn't be more happy with myself. It is an amazing feeling being able to wake up every morning and know that you are making a difference in your life. That's just it, YOU can make a difference in your own life. We all have excuses and reasons as to why we stopped caring about our health and our lives; my kids happiness comes first, after I had kids I just didn't have time to hit the gym, I'm an emotional eater, money is tight so I can't afford the gym or healthier foods, I have no support, I have no willpower to stay with a diet-plan, etc.... Well please let me be the first to knock a few of those out of the way for you.
Your kids will be a reflection of yourself, if you are not happy/healthy then the chances are that they will follow you down your path of health destruction.
Make your kids/family time your exercise time, take them to the park, swimming, bike riding, walking their new puppy, teach them how to toss a baseball, play basketball, just get them outside and moving and you will be moving as well.
When you are feeling an emotional high/low, go outside and take a walk, breathe in the fresh air and contemplate your situation and make it turn out better. You can almost always find a friend that is in a rut too so ask them to join you and you can walk it out together.
Visalus shakes- one meal replacement equals one shake. One shake costs about $1.82 so that with 2 shakes per day is still a lot better than going out and grabbing two dollar menu items...
There are chat rooms GALORE out there for people like you and me to get a grip on our healthy lifestyle choices. Also if you know me all you have to do is give me a call and give me 5 minutes, I can boost your attitude an make you feel better about yourself in no time at all.
So come on guys you can do this but do it for yourselves. I'm doing this because I refuse to let my weight be an excuse anymore for not being able to live my life to the fullest. I want a family and many will tell you that weight can hamper your chances of having children. With all of my issues I don't want weight to be an extra negative factor in my future.
