Week 3

Week 3

One thing.

Yes just ONE THING!

Seriously?

Yes, just ONE THING!

Several parts but ONE THING!


TRUST THE PROCESS!!!!

YOU MUST TRUST THE PROCESS!  By the time that we get to week 3 in a program, all of the questions and the doubts start.

For example.....

Am I eating enough?

Am I eating to much?

Am I working out hard enough?

Am I just bloated?

But I haven't lost any weight!

But I cheated that one time!

Am I eating to many yellows?

Am I eating to late in the day?

Did I forget to eat something today?

Am I drinking to much water?

Am I drinking enough water?

Am I sure this program is going to work for me?


You know EXACTLY what I am talking about!  You have been there! You have questioned everything and then probably even more.  Here is the thing that I learned over and over last week and if Autumn herself said it once, she said it daily.....TURST THE PROCESS.

Here is the key.

The results that we see and the RESULTS we want so desperately are the results after 80 days!  These people completed the program.  They have already been through EVERY week we are just now starting.  Seriously, this is only week 3!!!  GET A GRIP!!!

I can do this!

You can do this!

Don't question EVERYTHING!

TRUST THE PROCESS!!!!!

You Must Eat!!!!!!!

YOU MUST EAT!

You can loose weight if you don't eat!


Yes, you can.  That is not a false statement.

You can loose weight if you don't eat!

Yes, you can.

Question is what happens when you eat again?

What happens when you stop losing weight?

What happens when you are so tired and fatigued that you are miserable?

Typically binge eating will happen.  Does it happen always? No, not necessarily but I have been there and done that.  You can "not eat" for only so long until your body is going to retaliate.  It does not like being starved.  Now, you can cut calories and drink more water and control your portion sizes and do it correctly.  The key is to do it right so that it will last!!!!!  If you do a "CRASH" diet......well.....that is what you are going to do.  CRASH!!!!


You need to eat and fuel your body!  I use those awesome little portion containers.  They are incredible!  Most people FREAK OUT when they see them because the first text message or phone call is...."THEY ARE SO LITTLE!" or "ARE YOU SERIOUS?".  The key is that when you do the calculations.  You know how many of each you get everyday. You are eating clean. You are counting your containers. Your body is being fueled. You are getting exercise. You are drinking your water. YOU ARE GOING TO LOSE WEIGHT the RIGHT WAY!


The key to remember.......


You did not gain your 5-10-25-40 pounds over night.
You are NOT going to lose it overnight.
It takes hard work and accountability.


SO PLEASE............

EAT!!!!!!!!!!!

Friday Food

I posted a picture of my dinner last night on Facebook and quickly discovered that a recipe was necessary.  There were a lot of request for it so I figured that this was the best place to put it so everyone could see it.

As you all know, we are doing the WHOLE30 Program.  It is a challenge but we have loved it so far.  It's difficult at times because you think you want what you can't have and you figure out a way around it.  So this was my solution to the desire for Mexican food.
What is NOT in this salad-
-re-fried beans
-cheese
-chips
-sour cream
-black beans
What IS IN THIS SALAD-
PLENTY OF VEGGIES!!!!!
So, let's get to the recipe!!!

WHOLE 30 Taco Salad By Pam

1 bag of shredded lettuce
1 pound of extra lean ground turkey
1 large red pepper-diced
1/2 large onion- diced
3 carrots- finely diced
2 tablespoons of Taco Seasoning
1/2 cup of medium salsa
1 cup of water
Tessemae's Creamy Ranch Dressing to taste

Divide shredded lettuce into 2 bowls and set aside.
Place ground turkey and veggies in a large pan to brown turkey and cook veggies.  Once turkey is cooked through, add in taco seasoning and salsa along with water.  Cook on high until thickened and water is evaporated.
Place meat mixture over lettuce.  Top with salsa and drizzle with dressing and serve.
ENJOY!!!!!

With all of the veggies, you will not miss what is not there.  It's an awesome alternative!!!!   I would love to hear what you think when you make it!!!!
