Hope you are all doing well on your New Lifestyle Change! I apologize that i haven't blogged in a while! We have had family in town and I have been working Lot's. I hope that you are staying on track and also staying motivated to get healthy in 2010!
I am on a 30 Day journey (until the end of January) to begin my new healthy lifestyle! I realize that the results I am wanting , will take more than 30 days. These 30 days are to serve as a jump start! I already have seen some GREAT results, and I feel amazing!
This blog is going to be the ENCOURAGEMENT BLOG!! I want to encourage you to keep going and stay on track!
Here are some helpful hints:
1. Pay attention to the negative effects your current (bad choices for food) have on your body, moods, and energy level. Feel free to start a little journal, writing what you eat and drink throughout the day and how you feel as a result.
2. Recognize that anything worth having is worth fighting for. Good health, vitality, more energy, and more confidence is what you are working towards!
3. No Excuses about not having the time! You are important! Your Health is Important!! GET GOING!! Love yourself enough to do whatever it takes to be the best you can be!
4. An important part of any recovery program for addiction- and unhealthy eating is an addiction - is taking one day at a time. Don't torture yourself with thoughts of, "How will I live without ___________?" Just take it one meal at a time. Don't think ahead with dread and anguish!
5. I hope that you have been encouraged to get rid of Dirty Vice items. Whether it is coffee, sugar, certain dairy, or certain meats ... you are making a NEW choice to start healthy! Acknowledge that no vice item will EVER make you feel happy or whole or satisfied.
6. Every week, rid one more thing from you life. Until you're completely cleansed your life of poison and toxins, eliminate one at a time!
7. Always remember to think "PORTION"! The Portion should be decided on beforehand, should be smaller than you would normally have. The package should be put away before you start eating!
8. Eat at the Table! Eat very slowly! Take note of how you feel while you're eating it, immediately after, an hour later, in bed that night, and the next day!
Blessings,
Sarah Holsapple
