Healthy Weight Week

Welcome to HEALTHY WEIGHT WEEK!

The 17th annual Healthy Weight Week is a time to celebrate healthy diet-free living habits that last a lifetime and prevent eating and weight problems.  Our bodies cannot be shaped at will. But we can all be accepting, healthy and happy at our natural weights.   source

You know how I always talk about this weight loss journey being a lifestyle change right?  Here are some steps you can take to get healthy.  Incorporate these steps in to your life over time and you’ll be so happy you did.

• Get moving
• Drink water
• Eat healthy

The 3 SIMPLE steps above will give you a kick start to living a healthy lifestyle.  Remember that pills and potions and fad diets don’t work over time. You can afford to do the above on a daily basis so why even try the gimmicks out there?

Here is a great handout for you to read

Let’s here from YOU!

P.S. Gina, The Fitnessista has announced her Winter Shape Up 2010!  I’m so excited because she makes things so simple to follow.  I need to really focus on strength training so this is the plan I have chosen to follow.  I really want to get into the Intro to Iron Pumping challenge on Caitlin’s blog which was also the brainchild of Gina but I’ll have to ease into that one.  I feel the strength training at home will be best for me FOR NOW.  But then I’ll boost it up using the equipment at the gym.
