Time goes so fast

Here it is week 8 and I am just barely starting to figure a few things out. I am amazed at the drive all these women have and sometimes feel like I am the weak link; or as in Biggest Loser terms "The one that needs to stay at the ranch."
Dr Carter stated (the first time we meet as a group)... this program can do amazing things for you if you really want it as he had seen from previous participants. I love to go to the Nutrition class each week to talk to these ladies…. It seems to help inspire me to do better and Jalaine is so knowledgeable and helpful as well.
The weeks are flying by way too fast, and I still need to learn so much!!!!

Nutrition

Today Mike (he is a Chef and Manager at Utah Valley Hospital) spoke about his own weight loss journey.) He has maintained a 90 lb weight loss over the last four years some of the things that he shared I thought were helpful:

Be a “Conscious Eater” sit down to the table and eat your meal; and be aware of what you are eating (which means don’t snack in the car, or in front of the tv, or at your desk at work). Take time to taste the food and enjoy it.

Be prepared: Buy meat in bulk and cook it all at once then freeze it in individual serving sizes. Buy a big container of almonds and package in 1 oz serving size baggies. Plan a menu out each week or month and prepare in advance.

Anyhow here are a few things that I learned and wanted to pass along. Family I hope you still check in on me once in a while….I need your support to keep me on track.
