FLABULOUS

There are plenty of deliciously fun little four letter words in the English language, and while diet is a four letter word, it’s not one of the fun ones.

Diet. The word diet makes me cringe. And as many good people have said, anything with the word DIE in it isn’t something I want to do. I don’t want to die, I want to live. That’s why instead of going on a diet, I want to go on a live-it, you know a healthy lifestyle change that I can maintain forever.

What’s cool about my sister and I is that we are each doing different things to get healthy. I’m going unstructured with tweaks in my diet, focusing on portions, easing my way back into workout out and weighing in once a month. My sister KJ is going the more structured route with a weight loss program that is teaching her portion control, good combinations of foot to eat, easing her way into workout out and weighing in about 3 times a week. But we’ll expand on all that later.

We are both on similar but very different paths to weight loss but neither of us is on a diet and I think that’s what is going to make the difference in the long run. We aren’t just making good choices until we lose all the weight we want to lose and get to be the size we want to be and then go crazy again, we’re making healthy changes for life something that we can maintain forever. We are out to prove that whether it be a structured method or one you cook up yourself, it’s possible to get healthy. You just have to figure out which works for you!
