Calorie Cuttin'!

Ladies!

It has been awhile since I’ve posted and for that I apologize! God has been doing a mighty work in my life in the last two weeks! I have indeed been consumed, but I have not forgotten about you.

I just want each of you to truly understand how real God is… He is with us through the up’s, down’s and in betweens of life. Only the Lord gives to us and only the Lord can take away. I want each of you to remember this… not only on your weight loss journey, but in life. Stop letting “man” dictate your peace of mind and happiness. The joy inside you should be with you always.

Enjoy each day as if it were your last and don’t forget to live!

CRay’s Tip of the Day…
Cut those Calories! So often when people are attempting to shed pounds they worry solely about getting enough exercise and begin to get defeated immediately. They think that they can consume what ever they would like as long as they workout. This is totally a myth!

Weight loss is definitely about exercise, but most importantly, it is about cutting calories and burning fat.

A pound of fat is 3,500 calories; you can either burn it or gain it. When you begin to cut the amount of calories that you intake each day and exercise to burn even more calories, that is when you begin to see weight loss. There is no “get skinny quick” way around this. There are a ton of “quick fixes” out there, but they are only temporary. In order to lose weight and keep it off you have to make healthier eating decisions and that begins with cutting out access calories.

Exercise is important to aid in burning more calories and to tone your body (building muscle). Depending on how much weight you are aiming to lose for starters, exercise should be 15% of importance to you and healthy nutrition should be 85%.

I challenge each of you (who would like to shed some pounds) to cut your daily caloric intake to 1,700 calories (this number may range based on your body mass index- 1,700 is an average for those who aren’t sure what theirs is). Healthy weight loss is 2 to 3 pounds a week… watch that fat burn away!

Be encouraged… you’ve already won your battle!

In Peace and Struggle.
