Weight Loss Journey week 2

Hello Everyone

Thank you so much to everyone who commented on Ed and our videos and our blog's.

I am excited to share that I have lost 5 pounds since June 1st. and down 1% Body fat.

Over this past week I have been really think about what I have accomplished in my life. I never really thought about that so much, at least I have not ever written it down so that I could see it. Our Coach had asked me to focus on that this week and then really think about what it is I want to accomplish Like how much weight loss and how it will feel, to measurements and taking close up pictures.

I spent some time thinking about the end in mind and then writing out what it would take to accomplish this. Example:

Workout 5-6 day a week
Cardio 40 mins a day
Weight days 3 days a week
Walking at night with family
5-6 Mini Meals
Water 6-8 cups a day
WLX x2 1/2 hour before I eat main meals (Helps me to not over eat)
Meal plans for the week. Done on a Sunday

I spent some time thinking about how I would feel when I have lost the weight and what kind of clothes I would wear to what kind of energy would I have. I am focusing on how I feel and how my clothes fit rather than on the scale as much this time.

My biggest challenge has been the weekends. I have been having a few coolers and Natcho chips sometimes Ice Cream. I have planned to eat good on the weekends but I slip up. I find it helps to Journal when that come up. I ask question like:

1. Why do I want this food?
2. What feeling are going on inside me? (am I stressed, Worried, Tired, Board, Upset etc)
3. Will eating this food help me in my journey?

I find going for a walk really helps by overcoming a lot of these challenges.

This week I am focusing on my workouts and drinking enough water and journaling and getting reconnected with the group from http://www.transformation.com/ and starting to do more videos.

And of course the most important is the affirmations. I have many written out on little cards that I carry around with me, I try to say them in front of a mirror and strange as that sounds, it really works. Yesterday I started listening to Affirmations on Cd's that Ed and I bought from T Harv Eker. So I am always feeding my brain positive information.

I have been using Louise L Hay "Heal your Life" affirmations and workbook. If you have a chance watch the movie "you can heal your life" It's on http://www.youtube.com/ and you can purchase it and Chapters/indigo Amazon etc.

Here is our update video for this past week. Check it out...
