1st Week Assignment – January 2-8
The first week will be spent reading and taking an inventory of where you are currently at.
Here is what I would like for you to complete by January 8.
Pick three days in a row and write down everything that you put in your mouth for those three days. This includes any drinks, food, and don’t forget those little taste testing from the silverware when you are preparing food for your family. The purpose of this is to begin making you aware of what you are eating. Bring your list with you on January 8. I will give you an opportunity to share any thoughts about this on January 8, but you are not required to share if you don’t feel comfortable sharing.
Read the following chapters in the Fire Up Your Metabolism:
Introduction
Chapters 1-5 & 7
Chapter 6 – for those people who currently skip breakfast
Journaling (This is private & you decide what to share & who to share with)
I suggest writing down your thoughts and feelings as you begin the program. Write down your goals for the program and what you hope to achieve. I also suggest that you write about how you currently feel about your body and view yourself. Remember Fire Up Eating is a journey and what you feel about yourself today is the starting point. You are driving the car in this journey and you can have a different finishing point if you don’t like your body or have a negative view about yourself; there is hope for change and you can change.
Our next Fire Up Club meeting is Monday, January 8, 7-8pm at CFC. Please be prompt since the Pilates class is meeting at 8pm.
I will be reviewing the basic Fire Up Eating principles on January 8 and we will officially begin incorporating the eating principles on January 9.
Changing Lifestyles....Living Healthy
About Me
- Fire Up
- I lost 42 pounds from January – May 2006 and have been maintaining my weight since May. I did this through a combination of a well-balanced eating plan based on the book entitled “Fire Up Your Metabolism” and exercise. Because of my success, Woman’s World magazine interviewed me and I was quoted in the December 19, 2006 issue, pages 20-21. I never thought that I would be able to lose the weight, but now that I have I've decided to help other ladies do the same. Several ladies in my church were impressed by my success and asked for help. I decided the best way to help them was to create a Fire Up Club that meets weekly. The vision for each member is to make lifestyle changes that allow them to live healthy today and in the future. As a member, ladies are given the tools and support to help them achieve this vision.
