Making Progress

It’s been a couple days since I’ve added a blog update.  You might be wondering if I have let things fall apart.  On most plans, I would have by now….that’s been my history.  Well, fear not.  I’ve just been busy.

With all this busyness, here’s what I’ve learned.  I must have a protein filled body-honoring snack with me at all times.  I keep almonds in my car and Cinch Snack Bars in my purse like Brad recommends in Just 10 LBS.  They are all part of the Cinch Inch Loss Program. They come in chocolate, peanut butter & lemon cranberry.  Do I have a favorite?  I do.  It’s whichever one I am eating….  Lol…They are all Yummy!

I am making sure I am taking my Vitalizer every morning with my Cinch Shake or Cinch Meal Bar for breakfast.  This morning it was the Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Meal Bar.  (20 grams of protein & decadent!) 

There has been an extension of the FREE Cinch Sample Pack offer.  Get started on Vitalizer as a new member, and you will receive over $100 in Cinch Products, including the Cinch Shake & Peanut Butter Snack Bars!

It’s been 2 weeks!  It’s time to share some results of my progress so far.  Ready.

Weight      – 3 lbs

Inches      - 5 ¼ inches  ( 2 ½ inches off my hips!)

I am really excited about those results.  Remember – muscle weights more than fat.

While I can see the scale, the inches lost will be what has me looking and feeling fabulous!

I think I am getting this “Golden Rule” !

I Am Worth This Work!

Onward,

Do Unto……..

The Brad Lamm bBook, Just 10 LBS has a chapter called Appreciate Your Body.    I love this statement, “ When you like your body and consistently treat it with respect, you will lose weight—and never gain it back.”

It focuses on overcoming some body Hang-Ups by addressing 5 areas.  Three of them -Hang Up #2, #4 & #5 are the three that speak to me the most.  The workbook really helps to bring these to light.  It’s interesting that these are all about self talk, self infliction of negatives.  

Hmmmm.  That means the work is mine to do, and a lot of it is in my head. 

I think I’ll develop an affirmation to help keep the focus.

Today I am kind to myself.  I see the beauty in myself,  that I so easily see in others.  I revel in my physical distinctiveness.  I only speak positive statements about my body.

And I’ll sum it up with the Golden Rule. 

You know the one that says,

Treat others the way you’d like to be treated.”

With Brad’s reframing, here’s the Golden Rule. 

I will treat my body as I like to be treated:  luxuriously, with love and compassion, and with the same or better kindness I show to everyone else.

I Am Worth This Work!

Onward,
