As we start off our weeks, and start prepping for weigh ins, measuring and before pics (I do recommend doing before pics, even if you dont share them with me. They definetlly show ya how awesome youre doing!! And further motivation! :D), i just wanted to take some time and just sit down with ya. The best plan of action is to...PLAN :D. So get those dark green lettuce/salads, veggies, ground turkey, quinoa, oatmeal, fruit, etc so that you give yourself the best possible scenerio....planning for victory! Right? :D Also, some of you are new to the challenges, and something I want to just really emphasize is that, many times we have one thought about losing weight...which is....exercising all the time and calorie restriction. Friends, when youre eating healthy, you get to eat A LOT! And some guidelines to help ya figure out how many calories you should have is multiply your weight by 100. So if youre 150 lbs, then you want to get 1500 GREAT calories in you!!! Now, the deal is with this equation is that it only works within 1200-2000 calories...because if you weigh less than 120, you DO NOT want to eat less than 1200 calories a day...your body needs to be able to sustain itself and calories less than 1200 start making your body not do wonderful things....and then same with the opposite, if youre over 200 lbs, then your goal calorie intake is 2000. When I say GOAL, i mean GOAL....we dont want to be afraid of meeting those calorie requirements, but its another victory when you do! It helps your body build muscle, have energy, better metabolism and just all kinds of goodness!!!! And with your exercising, we take our rest days seriously :P. The body needs time to rest and those rest days are just as important as the days we are getting our exercise on. So, please make sure to plan 1-2 rest days a week. If youd like a little helper outter, try out My Fitness Pal. You can find it on your phone as an APP or online as well. It does help ya really see how many calories youre getting. Make sure to be putting great calories in ya! A gynormous salad will give ya 200 calories, where as one can of pop will do the same...so definetly keep that in mind :). Again, set yourself up for VICTORY!!! (are you noticing a pattern between victory and goals :D?). So, lets be planning, getting our grocery lists set, and allow ourselves enough time on Friday morning to get our weigh ins (feet on scale pics :)), measurements and before pics done :D. You may send your measurements and weigh ins to minitwinnie@gmail I ask that you do this because I have several other pages, am a praise team leader and in a Christian band...and my inboxs get jumbled pretty fast....but if ya all would send it to minitwinnie@gmail, then its MUCH easier to keep track of all our goodness here in Shining Bright Like Shooting Stars :D. If ya have any questions, please feel free to message me though on here. Im an open book. As you can see this pic, no make up and I just got out of the shower. Its just me being real with ya all :D. I look forward to this challenge with all of you! Its going to be a fantastic time!!! And dont forget, you have time to invite your friends and family if youd like that extra umph in motivation by doing this with them as well!!! You may send your 20 buckaroos for the pot and entry fee, via PayPal cougar_134@yahoo or send it via check/cash to my address (which I will disclose in private message if youd like) as long as you get your mulla in to me by THIS friday, or as close to it (pretty much, as long as I know its on the way). If you do not submit your 20.00, then you dont get to have a chance at the pot and you wont get the chance to be in the challenge :(. For me, personally, the 20.00 is my investment in myself...will I get the prize? well, I dont know, but im gonna kick my butt and try for it :P. And thats why it sounds so simple, but its another motivator, ya know? So make sure to get that into this week, or let me know its on the way!! Lets do this thang!!!
