I just gotta say how excited and impressed I am with how awesome this competition has been! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU to Heather for her time and efforts to help all of us get on a road (and STAY on that road) to health and fitness!!!
My journey has been much longer than the 10 weeks we have spent together - and will continue for the rest of my life. I imagine I will work at this health and fitness lifestyle I have created for a very very long time! I am excited at the prospect of continually learning and growing as a healthy eater and athlete. I didn't start thinking about my health OR fitness until I was 25 and after I'd had my first baby - so I had somewhat of a late start - but I am very excited to have lost weight between all my babies and kept it all off (except while pregnant of course!). I love thinking about all the adventures I will take with my fitness level and healthy life!!!
I have been thinking over the last several days about what it takes for me to lose weight and stay healthy. I'm positive I don't have all the answers, but I did decide on a few key factors...at least for me. Of course ALL the things Heather had us do during the competition are vital!!!
1) Journaling food. 2) PLAN ahead! 3) Water intake. 4) Work out to feel good about yourself, not to get down on yourself. 5) Positive thoughts. 6) Moderation in all things.
Those are some of the things I decided are key for me. I need to remember them and incorporate them into my life for many many years to come!!!
Good luck to all of you! It has been a pleasure!!
those are definitely some of my key factors to success, too, especially planning ahead!! If I already have in mind what I am going to eat/do, I don't panic and make bad choices.
