    ENCOURAGING WORD...

    Temptations will come to regret past decisions and actions, I know this full well! I would like to encourage you to leave it all behind. You cannot change the past, but you can make changes that will affect your future. Go forward from here on!

    TRIED AND TRUE TIPS;

    TIP 1. NEVER SKIP BREAKFAST AND EAT EVERY 2-3 HOURS! To keep the (fire burning) and your metabolism revved up try eating at least every 2-3 hours. (Breakfast, am snack, Lunch, pm snack, Dinner).

    TIP 3. EASE UP ON HIGH CARBS, REFINED SUGARS, FLOURS AND HIGH SUGARY DRINKS!

    TIP 4. ENTER IN LEAN PROTEIN AND LOTS MORE VEGETABLES!

    TIP 5. DRINK PLENTY OF WATER!

    TIP 6. TRACK EVERYTHING ON YOUR MYFITNESSPAL JOURNAL!

    TIP 7. MOVE MORE AND MORE. Maybe it's just a walk around the block or chair aerobics, and every week challenge yourself to move just a little bit more.

    ENCOURAGING WORD...

    EMOTIONS EMOTIONS EMOTIONS...we have them every day, we express them on our faces, show them with our countenance, we use emojis to tell our emotional story of the day; but what do we do to keep them from pulling us down to the pits of despair as it directly effects our weigh loss journey?

    Well...Today on what will be our third weigh-in day for our Spring Weight Loss Challenge, I'd like to encourage you on this note:

    1) Simply, keep your emotions in check and refuse to allow discouragement to drag you down to the depths.
    2) Take one day at a time, making one good choice at a time.
    3) Do not let anything get you down and keep you down.
    4) Take every opportunity to encourage yourself by believing in the process!

    You are only one decision away from victory! Granted this may mean a gazillion decisions per day, but keep on keeping on!
