BREAKFAST! WHAT IS THAT ALL ABOUT?

BREAKFAST!  WHAT IS THAT ALL ABOUT? 






Breakfast means to BREAK FAST.  You have not eaten in 10-12 hours.  Your metabolism is sluggish.  Your body is using very little energy.  You've probably been sleeping.

You need to break that fast to get your body moving and your metabolism lit!  You need food.  Yeah, I know, you want to lose weight!  That's great!  But you have to eat to lose weight!  Unlike most addictions, you cannot avoid your addiction.  You have to eat every day. 

Eating breakfast starts your engine.  It gets your body warmed up.  You are letting your body know that rest time is over and it's time to start working again. 

Be sure to include protein in your breakfast.  That is easy to do.  Eggs, protein powder, Greek yogurt.  Protein is so important, especially if you are trying to lose weight.   It helps you feel full and it will keep you from getting hungry much longer than carbs will.

We have all heard for years that breakfast is the most important meal of the day.  It is.  Even when I had blown up to 317 pounds I retained the habit of eating breakfast.   Now, I probably wasn't eating healthy or filled with protein but the habit remained.  It has helped me during the last 18 months of weight loss.

Whether you are on a weight loss program or not, commit to eating breakfast for the next 30 days.   At the end of that time, let me know if you don't feel much better.   I bet you do!

HAVE YOU GIVEN UP ON LOSING WEIGHT THIS YEAR?

HAVE YOU GIVEN UP ON LOSING WEIGHT THIS YEAR?








Since the New Year begun. are you trying to lose weight?  Start out with just one or two changes so you won't get frustrated and quit.

Here are two easy ones that everyone can do.

Drink at least 8 ounces of water a day.   This is in addition to any other liquid you have.  You will find that the more water you drink, the less you will want other liquids.  I know it's hard to believe but it is true!  Your body craves water, not just liquid.

Don't skip meals.  Especially breakfast!   You know why they call it breakfast?  Because you are breaking the fast you have been on for 10-12 hours.  Once you eat, you start your body up, like a car engine.  Until you eat, your battery is just sitting there.  You aren't even idling.  Your key hasn't been turned on.

 It doesn't have to be an elaborate breakfast.  I start my day with a protein shake.  Protein powder, 1 tbsp of oatmeal, 1 tsp of peanut butter, 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk and a cup of ice.  I drink that on my way to work.  Almost all protein.  It keeps me full for 3-4 hours!  Make you some scrambled eggs.  Throw in some bacon!  Eat a bowl of oatmeal and fruit.  Whatever strikes your fancy that is healthy!

Start your day with a glass of water and then get your breakfast going.  Your body will thank you!  You will feel better, more alert and enerergized!  Try it for a week and see what happens!

If you need extra help in getting on track, try Skinny Fiber!  We have a 30 day money back guarantee!  What do you have to lose but weight?

THE MYSTERY OF THE TREE ROACH!








I know most people know what roaches are but I'm not sure how many people outside Texas (and maybe other southern states) know what tree roaches are.  Tree roaches range in length from over an inch to about 3 inches.  They are HUGE! 

When I lived in East Texas we were always told they usually were near the railroad tracks.  Not true in Houston.  The worst thing about tree roaches is they FLY!  Like Spiders!

They don't want your food.  They want your water.  They usually crawl up your water pipes looking for water.  If they don't find water, they die of dehydration.  We usually see them in the heat of summer when there is little rain.

Currently, it seems Houston has decided to be Asia and it feels like we are in the monsoon season!   It has been raining continually since Tuesday.  Today the sun has peeked out but the cold has replaced the rain.  It's going to get colder and probably more rain starting tomorrow.  This gal is not a happy camper.  I can do rain or cold but not both.  But I digress.

This morning I go to the bathroom and there is a huge tree roach.  I'm thinking, "fella, I think you are lost".  He is walking around in circles in my shower.  I'm thinking he is delirious from lack of water but how?  I'm sure there is enough water in the pipes (and certainly the yard) to store up reserves for oh, I don't know, 5 years?

I watch him for a few minutes to see if he is going to die on his own.  He looks pretty plump to me.  And then I notice something white right above his big old tree roach head.   I go over and bend down and realize it is a little sign.  On it is written, "I'm looking for Noah's Ark.  I'm the other tree roach."

And there you have it!  Case closed!

THE MAGIC IS IN YOU!

THE MAGIC IS IN YOU!








I wish I could teach overweight people what it has taken me 53 years to learn.

There is no magic pill.  There!  I said it!  That is the child in you using magical thinking.  When you are a child you can apportion responsibility to others.  But when you become an adult, all the responsibility lies with you and you alone.  You are the only one who can change what you eat.  Are there products that can help you lose weight?  Yes, and I found a great one in Skinny Fiber.  Because of its ingredients, it has helped me become so much healthier aside from the weight loss. 

I always had reasons (excuses) why I was overweight.  Whatever the reason was, it wasn’t my fault.  My favorite was “I don’t really eat that much”.    Which was true, if you added “at meals”.    I have always been a secret eater.   I don’t eat much at meals but if I’m by myself, I can put the food away.

Another favorite was “I have slow metabolism”.  True, my metabolism was slow but I did nothing to help it.  I lived on carbs and diet soda and my exercise consisted of getting up and going to the kitchen!

I loved this one.  “I have a longer intestine than most people.  The food stays in there longer so I absorb more calories.”  Sounds great and of course, it succeeded in the responsibility for being overweight placed on a part of my body instead of me.

I would proclaim, “I eat healthy.”  Well, I did like fruit and did eat some vegetables.  But having an extra large pizza topped with lots of vegetables and eating the whole thing is not really eating healthy.

Losing weight is not an overnight journey.  Gaining it wasn’t and neither is losing it.  If you truly want to lose weight and keep it off, then you have to make changes.  Skinny Fiber provided the impetus for me to start my last weight loss journey that is more like a leisurely walk than a sprint. 

First you have to decide that all the excuses are going to be placed in the garbage.  You have to own responsibility for your own body.    You have to believe that you are worthy and deserve to be healthy.  Then you have to start making better choices.  You don’t have to do everything at once.  When I started Skinny Fiber, the only journey I was on was to prove them wrong and get my money back.    The only thing I changed was drinking 150 ounces of water daily and taking 2 Skinny Fiber capsules twice a day.  I did that for an entire month.  I ate whatever I wanted but I stopped when I started feeling full.

After seeing that I had lost 10 pounds the first month, I knew I could do this.  The days turned in to weeks and the weeks into months.  I started making better choices about my food and food intake.  I have learned to listen to my body.  Unfortunately for me, my body does not digest or process carbs very well.  Now that doesn’t mean I never eat carbs.  I do but not every day and when I eat them, it is in moderation. 

When you lose weight slowly, like you probably gained it, your body adjusts.  Even when you do overeat on occasion, you probably won’t gain a pound.  Now if you go on a food fest for a week, well, you know what happens.

All my life I wanted that magic pill; that magic something.  I remember after losing about 40 lost pounds, I just got it.  There is nothing and I mean nothing magical that is going to take the fat away.  The magic is in you.  Once you realize that, you will be empowered.  You will know that you can change your weight, your health and your life.  Could I have done it without  Skinny Fiber?  I doubt it.  I’ve never been able to in the past.  But I get it now.  It’s about responsibility.  Being responsible for taking my Skinny Fiber, for drinking my water, for moving my body and for the choices I make regarding my food. 

And when I do that, do you know what happens?  MAGIC!  My life has become magical.  The magic truly is in me.  And it is in your too!  If you need help getting on the path to finding the magic in you, contact me.  I will help you wherever you are.  Choose to find the magic in you and become that healthy person that already lives in you and is yearning to break free!

IT’S MONDAY! ARE YOU STARTING ANOTHER DIET?

IT’S MONDAY!  ARE YOU STARTING ANOTHER DIET?







Stop the madness!  Decide to do it right this time!

Start eating whole foods!  Cut out the sodas (or coke as we call it in Texas).  Stop drinking fruit juice!  Both are just packed with sugar!  Get rid of the diet drinks!  Start drinking WATER!  Once you start feeding your body water, you will recognize when you are dehydrated before it happens!  I can drink a diet soda now and it makes me so thirsty that it takes 2 bottles of water to quench my thirst!

What should you eat?  Protein (it rebuilds your muscles)!  Whole grains (make sure they really are!)  Fresh vegetables and fruits!   Remember to always eat breakfast.  It is the most important meal of the day.  Don’t skip meals!  Even if you aren’t hungry, eat a little something or you will be ravished later.  If you are ravished, you will overeat.  Don’t go grocery shopping on an empty stomach.  Decide to leave things at the store that might tempt you to eat empty calories or overeat.

Some people do better by eating 5-6 small meals a day.  A small meal is just that – SMALL.  It would be more like a large snack.  It’s not a burger and fries.  Just saying….

Because I’m a diabetic, I stick to 3 squares a day, high protein and low carbs.  Most of my snack are nuts.  I usually eat 1/3 banana before I go running.  Why?  It’s because your body needs carbs when you are exercising.  Your body only stores about 15-20 minutes of carbs.  If you exercise longer than that, then your body starts using your muscle mass for energy.   After you exercise, eat protein or drink a protein shake to repair your muscles.

It’s a process.  Start each day anew.  Don’t try to look 30 days down the road.  Just focus on today.  When today ends, put it to bed.  Get up tomorrow morning with renewed dedication and focus.   Weight loss should be slow.  You should lose ½ to 1 pound per week.  Don’t look at it as “IS THAT ALL?”   In a year that is 26-52 pounds.  In two years that is 52-104 pounds. 

Don’t wait!  Start today.  You can do this!  Just look at me!  I’ve been at it 13 months.  I’m slowly but surely getting down the path to my goal.  Come join me on my last weight loss journey.  Make it yours too!

And if you need a tool to help you on your journey, join me and thousands of others using Skinny Fiber!  It works for us and it will work for you!  www.caryncann.com
