28 Day Challenge Day 9 & 10

Well I have been off work that last day and a half with a sore throat so my eating had been great!
Day 9:
Today we are encouraged to put in a few positive affirmations to help us in our day to day comings and goings, a few might be something like these:

I can achieve anything I desire
I am the boss and in charge of my health
I choose to live a healthy happy life

We also learn more about metabolisms and how, as well all know, to loose weight we need to input less calories than we put out!
Simple enough but we do sometimes like to confuse ourselves with it!

Also mentioned was about exercise and it benefits in helping you feel energised which is so true!
So get out and get moving!

DAY 10

Remember to keep the focus on what you will get at the end of the weigh loss journey – not what you are missing out now!

The positives of the journey – what it will feel like once slim, how proud friends and family will be of your success, how hot you are gonna look in the new dress

Here are some wise words of wisdom as told by Annette -

To be successful at losing weight, you need to change your lifestyle and not just go on a diet, experts say. This requires cutting back on the number of calories you eat by eating smaller amounts of foods and choosing foods lower in calories. It also means being more physically active. Consider limiting portion sizes, especially of foods high in calories, such as cookies, cakes and other sweets; fried foods, like fried chicken and french fries; and fats, oils, and spreads


Choose a healthy assortment of foods. Include bright-colored (red, yellow, green, and orange) vegetables and fruits, grains (especially whole grains), low-fat or fat-free milk, and fish, lean meat, poultry, or beans. Choose foods naturally high in fibre, such as fruits, vegetables, legumes (such as beans and lentils), and whole grains. The high fibre content of many of these foods may help you to feel full with fewer calories. To be sure that a food is whole grain, check the ingredient list on the food label--the first ingredient should be whole wheat or whole grain.

And a wonderful quote from Annette is:

Todays choices determine tomorrows achievements – Keep your eye on the prize – a slim and healthy YOU

So go out there and be the best YOU - you can be!
