Losing Weight is Hard
Today is the first day of 50 and We start today!! My FASTer Way To Fat Loss Birthday Round!
I don’t feel different, except my fingers are a little more swollen today. This I know is from the extra carbs, sweets, and adult drinks I have had during our vacation week and birthday weekend.
Day 1 Prep week of the FASTer Way To Fat Loss can be scary, overwhelming, exciting, and hard at first. Learning new skills and habits is HARD. I promise it does get easier and it is sustainable for life.
I have been there and I am still working to get my BMI normal. I am still obese, but I am not morbidly obese as when I started. I no longer need high blood pressure meds and I have lowered my pre-diabetes fasting blood glucose.
Harder is ignoring the risk factors you know will come if you do not take that first step to work on losing weight and changing your lifestyle. . Harder is the multiple doctor appointments you will need for the complications that may come with being overweight.
Risk factors you face when being obese vary from bending over to tie your shoes and being able to breathe, to heart disease that can lead to a stroke.
Risk factors from Healthline:
type 2 diabetes
heart disease
high blood pressure
certain cancers (breast, colon, and endometrial)
stroke
gallbladder disease
fatty liver disease
high cholesterol
sleep apnea and other breathing problems
arthritis
infertility
Today is also the day I start my 21-day reset with the FASTer Way in our membership.
I will be doing a 5 day reset and then jump into the FASTer Way cycle with the rest of our 1.9K members. Ready to fill my body with whole food and an increased dose of micronutrients and antioxidants.
Some of the ingredients we will be using in our 5-day reset give your body a boost of micronutrients, and antioxidants, boost your metabolism, reduces cholesterol, improves your hormones, and skin, and flushes your liver and kidney.
Just think this is all with the food you buy at the grocery store, not a pill, but food. Keep shopping the outer parameter of your grocery store or your frozen veggies and fruits.
Ingredient Benefits:
Green tea- antioxidants, anti-inflammatory, boosts metabolism
Lemon juice boosts the immune system, aids in digestion and balances pH, and flushes the liver and kidneys.
Flaxseed- anti-inflammatory, digestive health, decrease menopausal and hormonal imbalance
Cayenne pepper- stimulates blood flow, helps reduce cholesterol levels
Coconut water -vitamins and electrolytes
Cilantro – helps remove heavy metals and helps lower blood pressure, regulates blood sugar, improves sleep quality
Ginger – helps with digestion, reduces inflammation, and lowers blood sugar.
I know hard. I know when there is ice cream in the freezer and nights on the couch with Kenny and we snack. He does this nightly, I pick and choose wisely.
I also know we get to choose the path we want to walk in life. Do we want to continue working daily to make those healthier choices and put on our tennis shoes to get our workout in or a walk, because we can? YES
The other choice is ignoring the food we eat and not making time to exercise. This will only lead to us sitting on the sidelines of life cheering others on.
Why not start now and cheer yourself on. It takes practice, not perfection. Let’s start working hard, so we can take control of our life and live it healthier and with purpose participating, not just on the sidelines.
