I saw this post last night and just have to share:
THERE IS NO MAGIC PILL; ONLY HARD WORK, DEDICATION AND CONSISTENCY.
So true! If consistency isn't the key, I don't know what is! I know we all struggle everyday to keep Health on our Top 3 list and a lot of times we fail, but we have to stay dedicated not only to ourselves but also for our families. If you have chidlren, YOU ARE the example. Everything starts at home, they watch you and learn so put health out there, talk about it, do it!
Here is an example of a 1,500 calorie eating plan designed to help you stay trim and satisfied.
