If you focus on results, you will never change. If you focus on change, you will get results.
If you change your mind you can change your life!
Change is a process, it happens little by little.

What I have learned so far to help me lose weight!
Food
~ If I cook healthier...I can eat more! Low-fat foods are not necessarily good for us! We need healthy fats to stay full longer! Swap out high calorie foods for healthy low cal foods! Don't drink my calories! Fruits are desserts and a yummy ones! Green tea does help in losing weight! It boosts your metabolism, burns fat, increases exercise endurance and blocks fat absorption! Drink four cups daily! If I overeat a day or two...that's okay..because I workout anyways! This is not a DIET! This is a lifestyle change! There is no QUITTING a lifestyle change!
Exercise
~ If I exercise more....I can eat more! Exercise like the world is watching! So dance, dance like it's the last, last night of your life, life...... Strength training is very important as it helps tone areas while losing weight (stomach, arms, legs)! Zumba is great for cardio and strength training! It's an all-in-one! Weight loss cannot be pinpointed...it drops where it wants! Lose more by picking an exercise that burns more calories in less time, like choosing stationary bike over running. You can burn more calories on bike in 30 minutes than running 4 miles (1 hour). The tortoise may have won the race, but the hare burned more calories! Don't count minutes, count calories burned per day!
Motivation
~ It's not exercise that's difficult...it's getting motivated to exercise that's difficult! Motivation can last a week so keep a good weekly visual motivation tool handy! I recommend weekly pictures! Do at least 10 minutes even if you don't "feel" like it for the day. Sweating is good for you as it releases toxins! Don't rely on the scale alone....rely on pictures (weekly), energy, sleep, moods! Stay focused...don't get sidetracked! When all else fails....go into maintenance mode but don't quit!
