Weight Loss Tips

Watch the video for tips on losing weight and eating right. You can't afford to go another day feeling awful and sacrificing your health and time with your family and loved ones.

NO MORE EXCUSES!  Your worth putting the time and effort in to do this.  Don't kid yourself either.  Medications and quick fixes such as surgery come with side-effects you'll regret and can very well endanger your health even more.  So do something good for yourself today and MOVE IT! Any movement will do. Just do more than you've been doing and your heading in the right direction. Add healthy eating and eating 4-5 small meals per day of lean protein, fruits, veggies and whole grains and you'll be surprised how you'll lose weight faster than you thought as well as immediately begin to feel better.  But hey, I know it's not easy to do this alone, and the voices in your head will tell you that you can't do it, so get support.

Meet me on Facebook  and I'll get you in a small group of about 5 people or so, so that we can connect, compare notes, recipes, and kick our own booty's!  It's more fun, and empowering together and you'll be so glad that you joined us. A Beachbody program is recommended for optimum results, but no purchase is necessary and you are encouraged to do whatever workouts tickle your fancy. In the end it's all about moving it or losing it! Or is that, moving it, AND losing it!  Anyway, you'll enjoy it more with others who are struggling and overcoming just as you are.  You'll also find that you have some tips of your own to offer, and if that isn't motivation to keep going I don't know what is.  

Don't let the icky voice tell you that you should just hide out and eat ice cream on the couch everyday because you'll always be fat.  Those are fighting words, and I for one, know how it feels to get stuck in a pit from isolating myself.  I was diagnosed with Hypo-thyroid about 13 years ago.  The disease makes a person tired and depressed and feeling like you are all alone, but when you get out of your shell and get out with a crowd, even a cyber crowd, you begin to see that you're not a terrible person after all.  You also see that there are others who face similar obstacles and how they've come through on the other side.  One day you'll be the one on the other side too, and so you can uplift others in the way you've been comforted and brought through to victory.

Start Your Day Out Right

How Do You Start Your Day?

If you're like most people your day starts out with a mad rush from the time your feet hit the floor in the morning, to the time your head hits the pillow at night. But with a few simple  habits set in motion you'll get some control over your stress level and stay in control throughout your day, rather than being at the mercy of everyone else's agenda.

Tips For Your Nightly Routine:

First get your nightly routine down. This will set the tone for the next day:

• Set out clothes for the next day

•  Put things by the door you leave from in the morning

•  Take a bath, or do something else relaxing- video games and other screen-time doesn't count!! The brain needs time to unwind and the eyes need a rest too.

• Write down what you typically do now in the first hour or two when you get up in the morning

• Now write down what you'd like to do before turning on the computer or going to work.  Plan to do things that recharge your batteries. Reading good books, prayer, quiet time, exercise, and eating a good, healthy breakfast. I'll cover healthy breakfast choices in a later post. For now just include fruit, veggies, smoothies with little or no sugar, some form of low-fat protein and a whole grain toast, or low sugar, whole grain cereal.  Don't skimp on Breakfast! It will help set the tone for your day. 

•   Set an earlier bedtime

•  Write a To Do list, or as I like to call it, a TAH DAH list for the next day- Include prayer/quiet time, exercise, and reading self improvement books.  I read the Bible or other positive books throughout the day to set, and reset the tone of my day. Also include housework, errands, appointments, business tasks, online tasks, and time with your spouse or children. Include healthy meal planning too.  You can only be your best if you put quality, healthy foods in your body.  I'll have lots more on that in future posts.

• Get to bed at a reasonable time. If you have to cut out computer time, TV time, or social time, do it!  You'll be so much more rested and focused.  It has been shown that your best sleep is between 10 PM and 7 AM.  The hours before midnight are the best for good, restful sleep.  It has something to do with the circadian rhythm.  Our bodies work best sleeping at night and being up during the day.

When you wake up, hopefully about 6 AM or so if you followed the tip of sleeping before midnight, you should form some simple habits that will get your day off in the right direction and help you accomplish more  with less stress.

Exercise:

I don't care how long you do it for, JUST DO IT!!  Even 10 minutes of vigorous exercise a day will boost your metabolism and energize you without the crash that coffee or some other stimulant would give you.  I try to exercise hard everyday.  The days I don't work out I don't sleep well, I'm crabbier, and I have little energy.  Try working out more often along with eating right and journal on your mood and energy level. Include in your journal the reports from your doctor.  You will find that you are much more productive!  Don't think you have time? Forget that excuse.  You don't have time to die either.  Do what's best for you and your family.  Give yourself the gift of health. In another post I'll share how I used to struggle so badly with poor health that I couldn't get out of bed most days.  Exercise has saved my life.    Watch the short video I did and learn to like moving.  We were meant to move!

Facebook me, and get into one of the small, accountability groups I've set up for people to get fit and overcome health issues.   You deserve to live abundantly! 

Get your TAH DAH list and your morning habits in place.  It may take a month to get down solid habits, but you'll be so glad that you got your priorities in place and so will your loved ones!  Believe me my family is extremely glad that I'm not lying in bed all day anymore and so am I. Also if it takes awhile to get your new habit's solidly in place don't get discouraged.  There is help out there and others who will cheer you on through both the good and the bad days.

Urgent Update And Prayer For Melody!

Continue to pray for Melody. The situation is urgent. A few days ago they inserted a feeding tube to sustain her. She has lost so much weight that she is skin and bones. The enemy comes to kill, steal and destroy, BUT Jesus came that we-Melody-might have life and have it more abundantly! She needs $29K for treatment. If you find it in your heart to show your faith by your deeds, as it says in James, then start fund-raising for her and go ahead and repost her site, www.journeywithmelwhite.blogspot.com  Share her blog w/ anyone and every1! Thank you so much in advance for helping even the stranger as God has commanded us to do. She needs the funds by the 2nd week of August to pay for her treatment. She has some money to begin treatment, but needs more money by mid August. I want to really get this out there. If it was your sister, daughter, or child u would do whatever it takes. she IS our sister in Christ! She has a 6 yo son and a devoted husband who love her deeply. Type out your prayers for her and even post them here. She needs encouragement. The enemy tries to sap her faith & energy away, but God is greater than our faith! Lift Jesus up and do not stop praising Him! Show true faith and "religion" (James 1:27) by your gifts to our sister in her time of need. Give out of a full heart of the overflow of what Jesus has done for you! He is good and our gifts cannot compare to His great Gift of His One and Only Son Jesus to us! The fervent-all out, w/ all your strength- prayer of a righteous, covered by the blood of Jesus, person accomplishes much! God bless the prayers and praises of his saints and may our prayers bring the healing touch of God to melody and comfort and strength to her and her family now in Jesus name!

Help Melody White Beat Cancer!

I want to introduce you to my friend Melody White. She is a wonderful wife and mother of a first-grader. Not long ago she found out she has cancer. It has attacked her mouth. She is suffering and in pain much of the time and has a lot of inflammation, enough that she's not able to talk very much.  She needs a lot of prayer and encouragement. She would like to eat solid food again and be able to be the active and loving mom and wife she desires to be.  Please keep her in your prayers and then do something else. Pray about giving as small or large a gift as your heart leads you to give so that she can get the treatment she needs. She's not able to afford the $20,000 treatment that is prescribed.  Let's put some meat in our prayers and help her out as if she was a dear family member.  Just think of the blessing of peace it will bring to her and her family, knowing that this part of the burden is lifted. And while your at it, pray for her healing!  God can heal her body. If He does and we gather all the funds, then they will go towards her medical bills that have amassed during these few months and the rest will go to a cancer charity if Melody is ok with that. I need to get that cleared with her and find out which one she wants to donate to.

Don't be shy! Share this with everyone you can think of. If they can't give very much money, then prayers are even better than that.  Tweet it, Share on Facebook, etc, etc.  You guys are the greatest. Prayer changes everything!  Let's stand back and watch God do a miracle. Melody is a Christian. Pray that God will encourage her heart in His Word and with His sweet presence. I don't know what people who don't know Him do in times like this.  Having His love work in us and  through us is an awe-inspiring thing.

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

I will keep everyone posted on her progress, as well as the donations that have come through as we go along.  Her blog will have her updates as well,  journeywithmelwhite.blogspot.com

If you have any questions give me a call at 509-257-2552, or post a comment so Melody can see the prayers and encouragement coming to her!
