Lori’s blog - Part 2

I made it to week THREE! 11 pounds lighter - feeling good! The temptations and desires for “BAD” foods are dwindling. I have started getting variety to my foods - Salmon, chicken, beef, etc. As Debra has told us, PLANNING is key - I went to the beach this past weekend and packed an entire bag with all of my food for the day - equipped with salad bowl and fork and knife! As my mom and I stopped at WAWA as part of our normal beach routine, I heard the meatball parm calling out to me and ya know what, I didn’t answer! My mom got her salad and fruit and we left! Sitting on the beach on the last day of summer, the weather was so beautiful and the atmosphere was so soothing - I stared out into the ocean and visualized me standing in the water next summer in my BIKINI - Visualize what you want and it will help you work toward your goal.

I will not let ANYTHING stand in my way this time. Another thing that has helped - Debra stresses this when we are in the meditation part of cool down during class - release ALL the negative things in your head, BREATHE in all the POSITIVE…………..I have completely let go of the ex- boyfriend drama, the negative thoughts I was having about food and exercise, and I am SO excited and positive about doing this. You MUST clear your head and mentally get in gear for this. We CAN do this and I AM doing this!

I will tune back in when the scale says 15 lbs lost - which should be VERY soon! Stay well and have a happy, healthy and FIT week!
