Lots of people have asked me exactly “what” I am doing to lose weight. Am I going in to Weight Watchers? a gym? Atkins? South Beach? Well, the answer is…….. I have tried most of these! Who has time to count points?? And I don’t want to eat meat all of the time. And WOW South Beachers……….some of those recipes are really involved!!! And well…… I hate cooking!!! Although I do LOVE the South Beach prepackaged meals!!
**Side note: If one of these plans works for you then AWESOME!!! They just haven’t worked for me. **
So here it is. I am planning what I will eat for the week, each week, each meal of everyday(even snacks). But OK I do live in reality……..if you have a gaggle of kids in a zillion different things you are more than likely going to have to eat out during the week. SO here is my Five Second Fix……….
If you running around like a crazy person and realize that you haven’t had time to eat. MAKE sure you have something premade in the fridge. I just stocked mine with the South Beach premade lunch wraps. FIVE SECONDS…1. Open Fridge, Grab Box, Close Fridge, ……..food problem solved and it’s HEALTHY!!!
OR the Five Second drive thru fast food order. KNOW what you can order that is healthy at every Fast Food place. Make it an automated response for you. Like when you hear Wendy’s think….Ahhh Madarin Chicken Salad!! Most places have bottled water now. It is worth the extra few pennies it will cost to buy the water.
I think everyone has a different way that works for them. I keep trying to remember that God has specifically asked me to take care of this body-which according to the bible is actually HIS body. So I am taking care of something that belongs to GOD!!! Hmmmm, I haven’t been doing a very good job!
1 Corinthians 6:19-20 Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your Spirit, which are God’s.
Exercise begins next week……………BEWARE!!!!
So OK this post isn’t so funny, so I will stick in my favorite commercial here:
