Motivation Monday - WeightLoss

Do you have any personal challenges this week? Are you feeling motivated today? What motivates you? do you need help to get motivated?

For some it may be to clean their house or exercsie or spend more time with family & friends. Mine are all of the above but here is a blog post of mine from a couple years ago but I thought it was fitting for today:

I need to get motivated to lose weight. This has been a battle and I just can't seem to get motivated to do it. I want you to join me(I know many of you are on the same road). I found some Prevention magazines the other day & picked them up to get motivated.

Then, as I was thinking about what or how to write this, I can across a blog that is doing a Biggest Loser - Bloggin' Style

Now, let's get real - Our bodies don't function the way God intended them to because we don't treat our bodies as God's temple...
This isn't about getting skinny, this isn't about getting into a size 2 pair of pants, this is about getting healthy!!! This is about offering our bodies as living sacrifices to God (Romans 12:1)!!!

Here are a few tidbits I came across that I am working on this week:

Keep a food diary - "when you write down what you eat, you eat less"
I have done this in the past and it does help but the problem is to keep doing it. It is suggested that you keep a reverse diary & plan your ideal eating day.

No PM Snacking - this is a tough one for me especially on evenings that I work until 11pm (of course I am no longer working until 11pm anymore, this was before having 5 children)

Cut 2 foods from your diet - I am trying to cut back but not eliminate coffee & bread

Drink more water- I honestly forget to drink plus I only like ice water so I have to plan ahead.(I am doing much better with this & I try to drink 3 L a day)

Those are my personal challenges for this week. How 'bout you?

Let's do it TOGETHER!!!
Hebrews 10:24 says, "And let us consider how we may spur one another on towards love and good deeds"
