Another Great Transitions Meeting!


Great Transitions meeting last night! We learned what fast food can do to your digestive system. Jayna, our coach, brought in some fast food. She also had two stockings. In the first, she cut up a philly steak and cheese sandwich and put it in the stocking. She then mushed up the sandwich in the stocking, representing how our intestines process our food. Nothing fell out of the stocking; everything became mushy and stuck. She then added french fries and a coke. Still, NOTHING came out the end! Do we really want this to happen to us? Clogged intestines or an impacted colon?


Next, Jayna chopped up some vegetables and put them in a different stocking. The fresh vegetables fell from the bottom of the stocking with no problem! Her example showed how easy vegetables are on our bodies, and how great they make us feel.


So after that demonstration, which would you rather have?

Transitions Lifestyle System

Three days ago I started TRANSTIONS Lifestyle System. This program deals not only with dieting, but with life changes in the way we eat foods altogether. The first week is a detox week. Now, I know what your thinking...DETOX AHHHHHHH!! It's not bad at all!

I have been starting my mornings off with a cup of warm water, and squeezing a half of a lemon into it. I do this a half hour before I eat. For breakfast, I have some eggs and add some vegetables into them. A side of 100% whole wheat toast with peanut butter. For lunch, Oatmel, and veggies. Supper consists of some lean, boneless, skinless chicken breasts. Seasoned for perfection! With a side of some green vegetables. For a snack, as many fresh fruits and veggies that i want.

I admit the first day was kind of rough, but i made it through, and see myself making it all the way past the three month program. I can't wait to see the results of how great i feel and look!
