Fit and Fabulous Body - FFB

Let's go on a ride. I'm going to publish my journey through a 10pound weight loss, because I can, and I'd like to take you with me. I'll call it Fit and Fabulous Body, or FFB for short. Hop on...

I counsel people all the time (almost daily) on what to do to lose weight, so I figured I'd post my own experience to demonstrate firsthand. If you or someone you know wants to lose weight, but doesn't quite know where to start or needs motivation, send them over to this blog and have them follow me on Facebook where I'll post daily updates lizette.ayala

I know, I know 10lbs. doesn't seem like a lot, but it's not so much about the number of pounds as it is finding resources to support, encourage and motivate yourself through this time of drastic change. It's not going to be easy (nothing is), but it will be permanent change in the right direction to a FFB! Ready? Let's get to it.

A little background on what I DO and DON'T eat:
DON'T: Fast food, dairy, wheat or breads. How do I do it? Hypnosis... oh, yeah! A few sessions took my desire away from anything other than fresh, wholesome foods going on over 6yrs now. Not 100% of the time (no I'm not perfect) but about 80-90%, and that's good enough for me.

DO: a "clean" diet (has to be cooked). Rice, potato, veggies, meats, fish, fruit... lots of fruit, okay, perhaps too much fruit.

Biggest Issue: Busy! I overeat when I'm rushing from one task to another. This lack of mindfulness has not helped me lose the 10lbs. left after baby, and I can't keep using that as an excuse as the "baby" approaches her 3rd birthday! Managing 3 branches of my business, a pre-schooler and chores, I'm on the go from 4:30am to 9:30pm. Do I want to slow down? Nope. I love what I do and I want to do it all. So, it's going to be an interesting ride... sigh.

Support: This is a big one. Good quality supplements help to support your body all the time, but especially during a drastic change like weight loss. I only use one brand, and that's Univera. Of course, I also promote their products, and that's because I wholeheartedly believe in them. I'll send out the list of supplements soon.

Exercise: Yep, it's a must. Thankfully, I love it and I'd be happy to add more. Find an exercise you enjoy and do it now. Schedule it in 2-4x a week for 30-40mins.

NOTE: There is nothing I'm doing that I don't already tell my clients to do for weight loss. Follow me and you'll get everything you need to help you feel great and get fit and fabulous!
