Thursday:  Physcial

Weight loss and fitness goals are the #1 resolution every year!  It’s also a billion dollar industry. 

I’m no stranger to this one and I’d like to make better choices this year.  Even though I’m pregnant and won’t be losing weight for 3-4 months, I can still make positive eating and exercise choices for my growing baby and me. 

Only a few of you know the life-long struggle I’ve had with weight, how I conquered childhood obesity at the age of 12, and recovered back to my prepregnancy weight after each of my 5 deliveries even though I gained 30-80 pounds.  Through struggle comes education!

The month of January I have dedicated the blog to telling you everything I know about losing weight, planning a healthy diet, and building muscle.  It’s going to be fantastic and 100% free!   Make your goals now, but save your money until February.  After I’ve told you all I know and you still feel the need for a gadget, supplement, or weight loss system, I’ll let you do it :).

Be specific on your goals.  Don’t just say “I want to lose weight.”  How much?  By When?  If you want to eat healthier what does that mean?  Be speicific and write it down.  If you’re not sure how to get there right now, that’s okay.  I’ll walk you through it one day at a time.  And if you’re tired of weight management menu’s that cost a fortune to prepare and taste too exotic to eat, or expensive exercise equipment, rest assured you’ll get none of that here!
