SPFB Biggest Loser Challenge week 2

Hello Biggest Loser Challengers!

It’s week 2 and we are well on our way to healthier lifestyles! Quick note this week to just give you a pick me up.

1. Breakfast is the best meal of the day!! Eating breakfast not only gives you energy to start out the day, but it can keep you from overeating later in the day. Statistics show people who eat breakfast tend to be slimmer than those who don’t. So take a few minutes to grab a quick meal before you begin the day. Pick something with natural energy like fresh fruit, yogurt, whole wheat toast or oatmeal.
2. Take care of you! Make it not only a goal to lose weight but to take care of your emotional and mental self as well. Don’t be afraid to take time for yourself. It is not selfish and it is necessary to keep yourself in top form. Get away for an hour and get a pedicure, watch a movie, put down the remote and take a walk to think. Whatever makes you feel good, do it!
3. Don’t be afraid to give in. We all have times where we just can’t resist that piece of fried chicken or chocolate cake. So have it! The important thing is to recognize that it’s a one-time thing and to stay on track the rest of the time. If you don’t give yourself the chance to have a treat now and then, you’re more likely to give up all together and just go back to bad habits. So take a small bite of cake and enjoy it. Than get up and do something about it.
4. Need a visual reminder of what your weight loss looks like? Losing 1 lbs is equal to 4 sticks of butter, 5 lbs is equal to 1 sack of potatoes, 10 lbs is equal to 8 medium sized cantaloupes, and 25 lbs is equal to 3 gallons of milk! See how many sticks of butter you lost this week!

If anyone is interested in joining a walking group, let me know. I think we have a plan to get us moving!!

Don’t forget today is our weigh in date!! Tami will be here from 1:00pm – 3:00pm to record your weight, if you don’t get it in today pay Susan $1.00.

DIETER'S PRAYERAS
I WAKE UP FROM MY SLEEP
I PRAY MY DIET I MAY KEEP
BUT IF TEMPTATION MAKES ME SLIP,
I PRAY THE LORD MY PANTS WON'T RIP
