Dr. Vera's Personal Trainer Weight Loss 20 Challenge

Are you looking to lose 20 pounds? Even if you are not, have you been struggling with your weight? What if I told you, the real problem of why the weight won’t stay off has to do with what is in your mind?

This is weird how this happened, I took on the challenge to host Dr. Vera, a personal trainer and nutritionist, on one of my radio shows (www.blogtalkradio.com/changinglives) The show has been going on for a few years now. Being the host, preparing and listening to the information caused my mind to make a greater shift related to weight and my health.

At the time I undertook to do this show, I was already at my desired weight, but just recently I decided that I wanted to take off about 15 to 20 pounds. So I proposed the idea to Dr. Vera Stevens and we kicked it off in October: The Weight Loss 20 Challenge.

Dr. Vera has agreed to consult with our listeners individually/group at no cost to those participating in the challenge. You may be the type of person who needs to be accountable to someone. There is a missing piece to why you haven’t made the connection to set you free from the battle with your weight. . . It’s not too late to join.

Kick off the New Year with a new plan of action, one that values health and wellness.

Soda or Water: Making the Right Choice for Life

Spent a week traveling to far away places, at least away from my home. Hanging out with friends, taking in sceneries. Tried to keep up with their drink tastes, not alcohol, but tea, water, soda, juices. I noticed that there was no change in how my body felt when I drank just plain water. Tea, even though it was iced tea made me

feel bloated, or just plain fat. It was the same with soda and juices. The more tea, juice or soda I attempted to drink the more uncomfortable my body got.

Also discovered nothing quenches my thirst like water. If I drank any of these I still felt like I wanted water and only water would satisfy me.

Did you know that our body is made up of about 80% water? I read somewhere that some diseases, like asthma is related to dehydration of the lungs.

My husband thinks I’m weird at times when I take a forkful of something and determine that my body does not like this food, or drink and won’t eat it.

A friend who is a certified nutritionist, personal trainer, etc., told me that water has a function that can only be ignored at our peril. Did you know that when your body burns food, waste is formed and needs to be flushed out of the body?

If you want to live healthy, be healthy, hang around people who eat healthy, think healthy and practice healthy living.
