Hi Ladies,

Please remember to eat small meals/snacks every 3 hours. Also, I wanted to take a moment to explain an important factor in weight loss which is a stable blood sugar. In order to keep your blood sugar stable (and optimize weight loss) you need to be in tune with your hunger levels throughout the day. This means on a scale from 1-10 (1 being you are so hungry you could eat a cow and 10 being you are so full that you feel sick) you need to stay around a 5 (just satisfied, not too full and not too hungry) ALL DAY LONG!

Some of you may need to slow down while you eat and wait for the signal that you are full to reach your brain. Please try not to over or under eat. Pretend your body is like a fireplace—you want to add wood (food) every few hours to prevent the fire from burning out. Most of the time when you overeat it is because you have deprived your body of food for too long and your blood sugar is low. Respect your body and you will begin to feel more energetic as the weight comes off.

Great jog last night! I was very happy to see everyone in attendance! See you Saturday for the 2 week assessment.
