I'm broadening to scope to include all healthy lifestyle topics!!! Being a positive person, I want to honor those who may have felt offended by the word 'obesity'. Just to clariy, to me, the word ‘obesity’ is NOT about being 'fat' or a person’s outward appearance. I've been taught that it is what's inside that counts, and this is especially true for this topic. Obesity is about what is going on INSIDE, meaning the silent disease processes that we can't see with the naked eye (ex. the clogging of arteries, adiposity accumulating around vital organs) that are taking place within the body as a result of unhealthy lifestyle choices. Without lifestyle changes, these silent diseases progress to symptomatic diseases (ex. heart attacks, strokes, diabetes) and conditions that endanger one’s health, quality of life and existence.

First Week of March 2012 Challenge!

I received some feedback from a few log followers who thought that a month long challenge was too much for a lot of people - SO - if you are doing it, stick with it! If NOT, I'm instituting a new WEEKLY challenge today to end on Sunday, March 11.

March 4, 2012 WEEKLY CHALLENGE:
  • Drink ONE glass of water before EVERY meal. This should at least fill half if not all of a regular-sized glass.
This ONE habit can cause you to drop A LOT of weight, in addition to staying hydrated throughout the day!! If you have been reading, but haven't yet tried a challenge, THIS is the one to try. It WILL make a difference - 100% guaranteed.

 Also, although some blog followers have sent me emails telling me that they have been participating in the challenges and are feeling like their health and wellness status is improving, no one has yet taken the bait on writing a short blog post documenting their progress. I'm leaving this offer open and will take guest posts at any time!

I'm doing well with sticking with my monthly challenge, although I did find myself eating a piece of toasted ravioli at a school gathering before I realized what I was doing - lol! I've been skipping dessert and avoiding all fried food and it FEELS GOOD :) I'm going to try and stick with this and implement the new challenge that follows:


Have a great week and see you next Sunday!
Lauren
