When was the last time you looked at your self as a priority? The majority of us put everyone else ahead of ourself. So, I am giving you permission to start now and do something for yourself. Make the decision to get healthy. Make the decision to start now and get your body in shape.We are blessed with this one body (I sound like Sally Fields in the Boniva commercial) and it is up to you to take the first step to make it last. So, let's talk steps.
Step 1: Educate yourself on how to read labels. Here are some tips on what you don't want to see onlabels: Fat more than 10 grams, no more than 500 milligrams of sodium per serving, no trans fats, no carbs more than 25 grams. Now go clean out the kitchen and make your family eat healthier.
Step 2: Get to steppin'! That's right, MOVE! It's summer, we have longer days and NO excuse to not go for a walk. If you just walk 3 times a week for at least 1 hour you will start feeling less stress, more energy and see noticeable changes in your body.
Ste 3: Set yourself a goal but make it realistic. Look at where you want to be in little phases. For example, let's say you need to loose 50 lbs. Don't look at the 50 lbs all at 1 time. Set your goal to loose 5 lbs a week. Then when you reach it, set your next goal for 7 lbs and so on until you have reached the 50 lbs mark.
Let's face it, women want to look good from the neck to their knees. I can make that happen. New You in 52! will partner with you where ever you are to get you healthy so you can live the life you should be living. Visit the events page (www.newyouin52.org) and let's plan a "Get to Steppin'!" weekend for you and some of your friends. It will be the best thing you could do for yourself and best of all, you will enjoy it. I am excited to share in your healthy transformation.
