Walk With A Friend

The best way to lose weight walking is to walk with a friend!  Regular exercise leads to healty choices, and walking with a friend increases chance for success by offering motivation and companionship for walking!

Subject: Weight Loss Thought of the week

OK, Halloween is upon us and I just want to remind you of some things before you rush out to Costco and buy the biggest bag of miniature snicker bars that you can find (HEHEHEHE).

Before you go and purchase your candy (if you haven’t already) make sure that you have eaten. I have made this mistake so many times. Going shopping for food hungry almost always means I will come home with some kind of junk food (its almost like it jumps into my cart) so make sure to eat before you shop.

Secondly, think about your choices. I have a friend that will only buy red hots every year to hand out. The reason why is because she doesn’t care for them at all but she still wants to participates. The other thing to think about is handing a healthy option. You can choose anything now days from pencils and play dough to granola bars and fruit roll ups. if you make a healthier choice you are not only helping others but yourself just in case you decide that you would like to have a treat.

Finally, If you are going to be doing any baking, you might think of making some low sugar hot apple cider, hot chocolate or tea to drink while you bake. For me it works perfectly to kill my sweet tooth and make me feel full.

In all of this planning ahead be sure to plan on having fun. Before you know it your planning ahead will just become second nature.

May God continue to bless you with great alternatives that will help you and others to be successful.

Blessings,

Cicely

    Hi Penny,

    Friends are great to walk with aslong as your perspiring by the end of walk. I like
    counting by two to keep me busy.

    I read about your $2.95 pedometer that broke, ouch, thats 20 miles of gas for me.

    I believe you can meet your goal with out a walking pal.
    Send me a pic of yourself with your broken pedometer and I will send you one of me
    on one condition. I will sponsor you $1.00 per pound. Which means you must lose
    39.22lbs to cover my retail value of $39.22(includes tax/ship) by Dec. 31, 2009 to
    EARN IT, FREE OF CHARGE.

    If you do not lose 39.22lbs you owe me the difference or mail me back home,
    NO QUESTIONS ASKED.

    ?How are you going to prove your start and stop wieght? I need a witness or a
    youtube (cellphone) video of you on the scale!

    I guarantee I will be 100% accurate for you in steps and miles or kilo.

    Do you accept or reject my sponsorship?

    stepup & stepout,
    shped

    I’m just going to order one flat out! (I threw away the broken cheapo pedometer.) Thanks for your offer of sponsoring me! If it’s ok with you can we write a post about your offer? If you would like to sponsor some of the 100 lb weight loss challenge participants it would be fun!
