Thursday Thoughts Ed. 70 - Spring Cleaning
Happy Thursday!
Here at Northwest Women's Fitness
Club we are smack in the middle of our 6-Week Spring Makeover Challenge.
This can be a turning point in weight loss or the point of a frustrating
plateau. The most important thing during this challenge, or any time you are on
a mission to drop extra weight or tackle any tough goal -- DON'T GIVE UP, DON'T
GIVE IN.
To help you through the mucky stuff
here are a few tactics you can use to get things moving again. Pick your level.
Depending on your goals, time commitments, desire and personal style, one of
these tactics should do the trick.
LEVEL 1 : Make A Change or TWO.
That's it. Pick one or two f the
following habits for healthy weight loss and STICK to them all week.
1) Eat lean protein with every meal
or snack.
2) Drink a glass or water every
morning BEFORE anything else.
3) Include a veggie (or fruit) at
every meal or snack.
4) Eat NOTHING that comes out of a
box.
5) Avoid all white, starchy carbs.
6) Drink no liquids other that water.
NO Wine, No Beer, NO juice, etc.
7) NO eating after dinner.
8) Chew, chew, chew. Sit down to eat
and chew your food COMPLETELY.
LEVEL 2 : Try this metabolic REBOOT.
Do it ALL. And do it for the next 3
WEEKS.
1) Frontload your day. Eat more in
the mornings. Less at night.
2) Eat protein rich foods at every
meal or snack.
3) Eat one serving of high-fiber
whole grain per day, preferably at lunch.
4) Eat colorful fruits and veggies
throughout your day.
5) Eat a sprinkling of good fat at
meals. A few nuts, a little avocado...
6) Drink 8 glasses of water per day.
7) Do not drink the booze. For the
next three weeks.
8) Enjoy 2 'treat' every week ---
chocolate, wine, or an extra whole grain.
9) Stop eating after dinner and
preferably not later that 8pm
10) Do your best to have fun and
minimize fattening stress in your life.
LEVEL 3 : A QUICK CLEANSE
This gets more serious. UP for a
challenge???
Follow these tips for 5 days in a
row.
1. Eliminate all grains. We just eat
too many. To make it simple to avoid the wrong kind...cut them all out for a
week.
2. Skip the dairy. Just in
case.
3. Eliminate all WHITE SUGAR. No
muffins, no jams, no ketchup, no granola bars. It's in everything! Check the
Label! Have a little honey or a fruit to avoid cravings.
4. Get your Probiotics. Just try it.
Friendly bacteria helps your belly. I get the cheaper stuff at whole foods. I
feel better taking it.
5. Eat MORE GREENS. Pick up some of
the GREENS supplements we sell at the club or at your local healthfood store to
pump up your phytonutrients.
6. Drink 8 glasses of water or herbal
tea daily. No coffee, soda, booze, or juice.
7. Limit red meat servings to once
weekly. (It is BBQ weather after all)
8. Eat a serving or two of healthy
fats daily or take a fish oil or flax seed supplement to to help flush the body
fat OUT!
I'd love to hear from all of you!!!
Let me know if you have any questions.
Truly,
Remy
