TIP OF THE DAY--------
The scales gives you numbers, however your clothes also tell another story. Once you have outgrown your old clothes, get rid of them. You don't want to grow back into them, do you? then don't be tempted by keeping them in the closet. pack them up and bring them to catholic charity or some other organization that can give them to people that need them. put the clothes that you haven't worn in awhile in front of you when you open your closet. it will help you push yourselves back into them.
Also starting next week, we all need to measure ourselves from head to toe. sometimes weight in pounds comes off slowly, but since we are on a good exercise program as well, inches may be the determining factor of what makes us fit back into some of the clothes we have out grown. so on Monday morning, we all weigh in, first thing in the morning after you get out of bed and then we take our measurements. we will compare the measurements along with the new pictures of ourselves at the end of our first 30 days.
Consider this: CK and I have decided that for every pound we lose, we are making a donation of $1.00 to the St. Jude's Children's Foundation. This is another incentive for you to achieve your goal. if you decide to do this not only are you helping yourselves, but you may also be helping a kid that need it.
Have a great day. Drink all your water, log all your food and exercise!
Super Sweet Debbie,
ReplyDeleteMy guess is that you probably only should lose 5 pounds - not too much of a dollar contribution to the St. Jude's Foundation. I say, "for every pound you lose, go ahead and give away at least $100.00."
