Today I woke up tired and in the mind set of just wanting to lay around and eat some fresh baked cookies. This is so not how I wanted to start my new year but as everyone can relate to, we want to lose weight and be at our best with little to no hardship. This year has to be different, I want to be able to have a New Years Resolution of something other than losing weight. I want to enter 2011 a brand new healthy me and with a different resolution.
This year is going to be my year of "Growing Into A New Me" I think this will be a great year of change. I am at a point in life where I really need to make my adult me complete. My first goal is to be at my physical best. I have always been into watching and reading things about health. I am a big fan of Dr. Oz, Dr, Ian and Dr. Gillian Mckeith I have watched them for years. The one thing these doctors have in common is not what we weigh but what size our waist are. I have never paid much attention to it because I just thought that if I reach my goal weight I will have the best body ever.... NOT.... my body may look nice but how healthy would my insides be? So, this year I am going to worry about being healthy on the inside out. Therefore Starting Jan 18th (Monday) I will be doing a challenge called "Cutting The Waist Challenge."
First part of this challenge is for us to take our height in inches add 5 to it and then divide in half, that is what our waist goals should be. So, let's take that and minimize our scale hopping for 60 days. I want this challenge to not be a diet but an introduction to living a healthier lifestyle. So, no hunger is the goal. we will eat, not feel hungry, fulfill our sweet tooth's desire and lose inches at the same time. During the challenge I will show grocery hauls, simple meals and treats that are yummy. Everything will be yummy. If you guys have any recipes post them for everyone to try. You can also make a youtube video I will add to my blog to make it a bit more simple. Also, take your measurements on day one and day 4 ( after we follow my version of Dr. Ian's 4 day cleanse) then on day 60.
I am wishing everyone a happy new year and a happy new lifestyle. Also, check out my friends blog as well poownow.blogspot.com she has great ideas as well and we all should support each other in this year because we are all on this ship together!
Much love to you all,
