Hidalgo's Healthy Habits: ATKINS

Healthy Living is the Only Way to Live

Welcome to Healthy Living. I hope to be an inspiration to others who are also on this journey of eating right, losing weight and exercising to better ourselves in mind and body. I believe the Lord is pleased with us when we take care of ourselves and our bodies. We are the temple of the Holy Ghost, and I believe Jesus is pleased when we not only take care of it with spiritual things, but also by living healthy.

The Bible aslo says in Proverbs 25:16 "Hast thou found honey? eat so much as is sufficient for thee, lest thou be filled therewith, and vomit it."

Hmmm that's something to think about!

Atkins Induction/Wii Fit Day 1

Well today is the start of a journey I haven't been on for awhile. To lose weight and to keep it off. Right now I am weighing at 192. Yes I actually said my weight for the whole world to know. But I am not ashamed or embarrassed. It is who I am at this point in my life, but not for long. You see, about 5 yrs ago I was weighing in around 150. I was 15 lbs away from my ideal weight. Then the joys of life set in, "I got married and got pregnant!" Well 5 years and 3 kids later here I sit. I am determined to lose my baby fat and get back to feeling healthy and in shape.

I am starting the atkins diet today. I am only allowed to eat 20 carbs per day for 2 weeks. This is called the induction phase. I will also be working out on the wii fit for 30 minutes a day since i have to start out slowly exercising.(I had a csection 7 weeks ago). So please pray for me that I may be able to stay strong and steer away from the temptations of the wrong foods. "Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak." Matt. 26:41.

AND MY FLESH IS WEAK TO ALL THINGS SWEET, ESPECIALLY CHOCOLATE AHHHHH!!!
