| Wow we are already beginning week four! At the end of this week
it is time to take our personal stats to discover how much
we have lost. Contact us and share
the total inches and pounds lost over the last month. Posting the
grand total the entire group has lost would be encouraging for us to
keep pressing on. We are up to 2 miles this week. This may be a
challenge to your schedule, so walk as much as you can each day.
Although it's most advantageous to walk the entire 2 miles at once,
splitting into smaller segments throughout the day is better than
skipping the day entirely.
 | Walk 5 times this week.
 | Day One: Walk 2 miles. |
| Day Two: Walk 2 miles. |
| Day Three: Walk 2 miles. |
| Day Four: Walk 2 miles. |
| Day Five: Walk 2 miles. |

| Scripture to meditate on this week: Proverbs 3:1-8,
Psalm 1:1-3, and Ephesians 4:1-3. Our inward walk affects our
outward walk and our outward walk affects our inward walk.
| What GOD promises when we walk with HIM? |
| How are we to walk? |
| How are we not to walk? |
| How should we improve our walk? |
|
| Fitness tip for the week: Maintaining proper
posture can prevent a double chin. Your chin should be level to
the floor. Too high can cause neck and back strain, too
low can result in a double chin. |
| Weight Loss tip for the week: Keep a food
journal. You know the old cliché, "you bite it, you write it".
Raising awareness of how much we eat and how often we snack will
help in assessing where the calories are coming from. Cutting
500 extra calories a day can add up to losing 1 pound a week. It
can be easy when we analyze what we are eating by writing it down. |
