The beginning of my weight loss
My sister, Emily, has been doing an amazing job at working with Heavenly Father to lose weight. She is in control and changing her life. So.... why shouldn't I be doing the same thing? I want so badly to lose just 15 pounds. That shouldn’t be too hard. I haven’t been making time to be healthy, but lately since I am finishing my last two classes for my bachelor’s degree and not going to school FULL time I have a little more time for things I really want to do.
My sister, Catherine, introduced me to the “body bugg” a little over a year ago and I tried it then for about a month then gave up. I recently decided to start using it again so she lent me hers and signed me up for the online program. If you want to know more about it you can click HERE for information.
So lately I have been careful at preparing more healthy meals and trying to do more active things during the day. I am nowhere close to where I want to be, but I will get there. My husband is supportive and is willing to let me spend a little extra money on fresh and also low calorie foods when I do the grocery shopping.

I just hope I can follow my sisters example and involve the Lord in my diet plans. Please feel free to check out her blog to be inspired yourself!
Good job Alexis! Emily has inspired us all, I pay more attention to what I am feeding my family now too.
ReplyDeleteAn excellent resource for healthy cooking and recipes is the magazine "Cooking Light". I like to check out their annual books from the library that include all of the recipes for an entire year in one book. I think that the majority of their recipes are realistic to use, they don't sound outrageously weird or use too many unusual ingredients.
Thanks Deb! You're the best!!
ReplyDeleteYou guys are awesome! Doesn't it seem like lately our entire family is doing better? I've been so happy with that! We are all here for each other and that is what matters. Don't forget to pray every day for help!!! Love you!
