Fit in February with a NO DIET Policy

Anyone that reads my blog pretty much knows that my days start with Therapy…Ha! Oops! Kidding sort of BUT instead a brisk 6:00am hour long walk with three of my friends all chatting away while solving not only our problems but also the worlds.

(Not quite the picture but more the vision of a neighborhood)

After clearing my head, I walk up my driveway, through the front door and arrive back into my office (home), follow it up with Coffee and “GMA” (Good Morning America) as I begin my day in front of my computer and my work day generally ends on the computer.

I have been struggling with my weight since I quit smoking 18 months ago which is often a HUGE source of frustration because I MISS MY CLOTHES and pride myself in being able to exercise self control!  UGH!

AH HA MOMENT!

My next thought was to start a Facebook group of other women (men too) that are having the same problem because they sit daily in a situation of very little accountability and could use the support within that environment. The excitement of launching such a group is building in me when on “GMA” Dr. Oz appears with his winning personality and matter of fact words of wisdom regarding being beautiful and fit.

He met with the men first, addressing the Top 5  issues that will age you . I believe these are are equally important factors for women to be aware of as well :

1. Blood Pressure – Go get yours checked!

2. Belly Fat – Dr. Oz’s words not mine! He went onto say that your waist size should be no more than half of your height. Such a simple idea that is an easy to track goal !

3. Stress – We all know that it is a killer and seems to lurk around every corner.

4. Smoking – I thank God and pat myself on the back that I QUIT! Feel free to ask me how because I loved smoking when I quit.

5. Eating Bad Food – In my book, this is the toughest one to control. Time for a food diary for this girl.

Thanks always to Good Morning America and Dr. Oz for some useful added support. Yes! GIRL POWER is next on your list and mine.

I personally embrace the belief of a “NO DIETS” policy. I know from my own past successful experience that I will only achieve my goal if I take a life change approach for the better, healthier, fit me.

You too??? I would LOVE to hear from you.
