Tonight's Lesson

Tonight we are focusing on Nutrition.

I began a program many years ago called Power 90. It is a fitness regimen that you do for 90 days straight. In addition to rigorous exercise, you are also given a nutrition guide to follow.
When I have been good and actually stuck to the program, I have lost weight.

The nutrition guide that I have been using from this program is called Michi's Ladder. It is a tiered nutrition guide created by a dietician with losing weight and being healthy- the goal.
You can access this guide at the following link: http://www.beachbody.com/category/michis_ladder.do

This link was also added to the Biggest Loser links for future reference.

Michi recommends eating from Tier 1 & Tier 2 for a near perfect diet. Tier 3 is referred to as "SWISS food" because it is neutral- there are benefits and hazards. Tier 4 should be eaten in moderation. Tier 5 are all of the foods that taste delicious- but you pay for later....

I really like this nutrition guide b/c it leaves the choice to you. I also love that there are carbs on the top 2 tiers. I know from personal experience that this is a great nutritional guide that can help you lose weight.

A Special thanks to each of you who come each week- you really help me in my journey to a healthier life.

No matter what, DON'T QUIT!

When you've eaten too much and you can't write it down,

And you feel like the biggest failure in town.

When you want to give up just because you gave in,

and forget all about being healthy and thin.

So What! You went over your points a bit,

It's your next move that counts...So don't you quit!

It's a moment of truth, it's an attitude change.

It's learning the skills to get back in your range.

It's telling yourself, "You've done great up till now.

You can take on this challenge and beat it somehow."

It's part of your journey toward reaching your goal.

You're still gonna make it, just stay in control.

To stumble and fall is not a disgrace,

if you summon the will to get back in the race.

But, often the struggler's, when loosing their grip,

Just throw in the towel and continue to slip.

And learn too late when the damage is done,

that the race wasn't over...they still could have won.

Lifestyle change can be awkward and slow,

but facing each challenge will help you grow.

Success is failure turned inside out,

the silver tint in a cloud of doubt.

When you're pushing to the brink, just refuse to submit,

If you bite it, you write it....But don't you quit!
