Happy Easter everyone!
I hope you’ve all had a wonderful day! I also hope you’ve enjoyed some very yummy Easter treats! I think Easter candy is the best candy all year round. Love it! I’m enjoying the end of our Robin Eggs right now….
They are making my tummy feel blah, but they taste very good goin’ down! LOL!
I’m letting myself enjoy whatever candy I want today because….1) It’s Easter! and 2) My little Healthy Challenge thingy starts tomorrow!!! Woo hoo.
I’ll talk more about that in a minute. For now I want to post a little bit about Easter.
*********************
First off, I found a very awesome video about the Savior I want to share. Love it.
It’s so easy to get caught up in all the fun things about Easter (love them all!), but I always try to remind myself why we really celebrate Easter.
It is to remember the life, sacrifice and resurrection of our Savior, Jesus Christ.
Love this video and the message. 🙂
I also thought I’d share a couple pics of the kids we took today.
My daughter’s going to be so happy about her bedhead in this pic in a few years. lol.
Okay…..the little Health Challenge I told you about starts tomorrow! Woo Hoo! I am so IN NEED of it right now. I’ve been a little bit “off” lately.
Ya know, when I’m eating well and exercising….it almost becomes easy. I kind of go on automatic pilot and don’t even think about it…I just DO it! However, when I fall off the wagon and start eating whatever sounds good at the time and slackin’ on the exercise a bit…..it is so hard to get back on! Weird.
I’m ready to be disciplined again. Woo hoo.
Just to recap….the goal I will be working on for 3 months is this: To not have any “treats” 6 days a week. If I choose to have “treats” once a week, it will be just one treat and I won’t go crazy. “Treats” are defined as any obvious sugary food: cake, brownies, cookies, chocolate (dang), candy, donuts, etc.
This will be so good for me and hopefully I won’t even miss the treats!
The challenge also has weekly goals to work on. Each week, a new goal is introduced. You are supposed to keep doing each weekly goal the entire time and just keep adding additional goals as they come along. Hard….but awesome!
The goal for the first week is to get 7 hours of consecutive sleep 6 days a week. I SO NEED this one too! Yay.
I love being disciplined. It makes me so happy. I’m so looking forward to gettin’ IT together again.
Soooo, to help me get prepared for my healthy endeavor, I put together a list of healthy options for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks. I also included some healthy ideas to have when I’m having a treat craving.
I printed this list off and I’m going to hang it up in my kitchen. It will definitely help me when I’m hungry, but can’t think of anything to eat!
So, in case any of you would like my “list”, click on the link below!
I made it in Microsoft Word 2007, so you can customize it if you like! If you have trouble opening it, send me an email and I can send it directly to you!
Anyway, I’ll keep you all posted on my progress along the way!
Have a happy and healthy night! G’night!
I signed up! My goal is to lose 20 pounds by the end of the challenge. I’m going to do that by sticking to a certain calorie range AND not eating sugar the whole time. IT’s only 12 weeks, right?
Yay Amy! I love your goal!! This is a fun time of year to lose weight because summer is just around the corner! I think it will be fun! Yes, it’s just 12 weeks. 🙂
