#FitnessFriday!!!!!!

Well, Guess what day it is!!!???  "Its Friday....Friday.....gotta get down on Friday".....what ever happened to that girl??  Rebecca Black???  lol Anyways, back to the subject!!!

#FitnessFriday yet again!!  So, How did your week go?? Have you been making those little lifestyle changes??  A week at a time??  My week has been OK.  Y'all know I told y'all my biggest challenge is eating....yes, that's right....eating!!  I hate food so much!!! UGH!!!!!  I'm doing a little better.  Still having to make myself eat something. Sometimes I feel like the only person in the world like this.  Most people are the opposite.  They LOVE food.  not me.....its so frustrating.  Since I sucked at that this week again, I believe I am going to start meal prepping again,  Last year, while losing 75lbs....On Sundays I would do meal Prep.  Prep out things to eat for the whole week and put them in my little containers.  I seemed to eat a little more and more regularly that way.

My other challenge this past week was to get moving a little more.  I have been doing a little walking almost every day this week.  It helps when I have to go up to the store because I will walk instead of driving.  When I do that I am guaranteed a mile.  So, YAY on that cool!!!

My challenges this week are as follows:

• Drink a gallon of water a day
• up my walking to 2 miles a day
• meal prep on Sunday
• start back my Hip Hop Abs

What are you doing this coming up week to amp up your weight loss???? Please......SHARE!!!!!

Ok, now for my topic of the week for #FitnessFriday

Involve Your Children!!!

That's right y'all!!  Get your children involved on your weight loss journey!  Not only will you be doing something good for your health, but for your children as well!!  Here are some facts about childhood obesity from the CDC website:

• Childhood obesity has more then doubled in children and quadrupled in adolescents in the past 30 years
• The percentage of children aged 6-11 years in the United States who were obese increased from 7% in 1980 to nearly 18% in 2012. Similary, the percentage of adolescents aged 12-19 years who were obese increased from 5% to nearly 21% over the same period.
• In 2012, more then one third of children and adolescents were overweight or obese.
• Overweight is defined as having excess body weight for a particular height from fat, muscle, bone, water or a combination of these factors. Obesity is defined as having excess body fat.
• Overweight and obesity are the result of "calorie imbalance"--too few calories expended for the amount of calories consumed- and are affected by various genetic, behavioral, and environmental factors.
