Losing it with AloeControl!

Losing it with AloeControl
Ok people, how many shows are we going to watch on TV with over weight contestants losing an amazing amount of weight till we get up off our butts and join the movement instead of complain???? 


I recently returned from vacation and weighted myself. This was depressing.. deep breath... At 5'2" I weighed in at a shocking 129 pounds. OMG!!! SCREAM!!! After dropping my jaw, crying and then trying to figure out what the hell that happened, I decided that I had all the tools in front of me. No, I am not going to take a diet pill, no I am not going to put away my skinny jeans and NO I am not going to spend my beach days covered up! Its time to get motivated and it happen. 
No More Muffin-Tops! 
Step one was to decide what amount I wanted to loose. well, that was easy - 10 lbs. 
Step two was to decide how. Exercise and Eat better. (Easier said than done, yeah I know) 
Let's hang out at step two for a while shall we? Here is how I started: Google Calendar. Set up a workout schedule for myself. choose three days a week to do group fitness classes at my gym. Take two days lift weights at the gym, one day to do something outside (walk, hike or ride my bike) and then the 7th day to relax and enjoy the pain of sore muscles :) 
I recommend for those who can't decide what day to do what, check out Self.com's self challenge. Take your week and mix it up. Spin, Zumba, Pilates, Yoga and some kind of high energy S.E.T. class. 


Now to the eating. Portion Control and Aloe Control. Yes AloeControl. I know, I know. Hey It works! It increases your eliminations (yes the poops), it increases your body's want for water and it controls your hunger! The more your body wants water - the less you eat! Trust me just try it! 
So food... weight your food, use your measuring cup - READ LABELS!!! Need more help? I recently started using a FREE online food log. It keeps me accountable for EVERY little thing I put in my mouth and trust me when I say, I think twice about eating that cookie when I know I have to log it. the website is: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/  You can friend request me (Run2bFree) is my user name. You can do weight ins, exercise logs, food logs and share your progress with Facebook and Twitter!!! It keeps you honest and keeps you on track. 


So far after two weeks I am down 8 pounds. YEY! I don't necessarily believe the calorie in has to equal calories burned - even as a runner and gym rat, I don't think I EVER burn the 1200 calories I eat a day. So I need a little help with Aloe Control. Seriously it is working. Read my past blogs on food ideas or email me. I use Women's Health constantly for food ideas and work out ideas. I would love to hear your success and struggle stories. My girlfriend Angie from Vegas recently lost 11 lbs. I am so proud of her! She did it with AloeControl and food portion control. It works if you work it! 


Get It Done!!
