Transitions Lifestyle Weight Loss and Fat Muffin Top
I have now learned that the cycle will continue forever and I will become increasingly larger because fat cells never go away; they just shrink and are always ready to blossom at the drop of a cookie. Once I stopped and listened and understood; common sense took over.
There is nothing wrong with my eyes and I could see daily in the mirror that there was a glob taking over my body. My clothes were thinning out in the closet as I gave so much to charity that I could no longer wear and could not imagine ever fitting again.
Mentally I knew there was an issue and my actions---no matter what were not making a difference. For 3 years I have known about the Transitions System and just could not grasp the concept. I watched as others had amazing results and just did not believe it was for me.
Finally in August of this year (2009); the light came on and I have been steady on a mission. Trepidation was definitely there in the beginning and then a change was taking place. It appears that 30 days and 6 weeks are key indicators in the Transitions Lifestyle. Now that it is becoming REAL for ME; I decided it was time for my blog. The blog has been in my plan for some time and I just was too scared to start until I realized results.
My journals have been my guide and I am going to pull data and tips I have discovered into this blog in the hopes that others will see that it will work for them.

Week 1 Daily Journal Transitions Lifestyle Weight Management System August 22, 2009 Fat Muffin Top loss
I am beginning this on a Saturday to avoid the daily hassles and interruptions to keep my balance.
Saturday; Aug 22, 2009
Breakfast today was 2 eggs scrambled, 2 pieces turkey bacon, sauteed peppers, onions and tomatoes. Just as well have a big breakfast since it helps to lose weight. I am sure I had too much, but just healthier than the old donuts or pastries! I had one slice of home made pound cake with my 2 cups of coffee. Believe this or not---pound cake is a neutral food. Not a good habit, but not a killer.
Lunch was pork loin, sweet potato, lima beans.
Snack was almonds.
Dinner tonight baked chicken, salad, italian dressing, fresh peach
Water: minimum of 64 oz.
Exercise: bike ride 10 minutes, walked dog, after lunch walked, after dinner rode bike (pretty huge amount of activity compared to doing none in the recent past)

Fat Muffin Top loss with Transitions Lifestyle
Fat Muffin Top loss with Transitions Lifestyle Weight Management; Get Started Now
1st - decide that YOU are ready for a change if you have been a Yo-Yo dieter and have at least 10 pounds of body FAT that you would like to lose. WE do not want to lose MUSCLE. If you have lost muscle in the past, you most likely became Flabby. The goal with this program is to look good with and without your clothes! 2nd - change some habits and help yourself with a Transitions Daily Journal. ORDER IT NOW and the Starter Kit. You will:
- Set Goals
- Chart your Progress with photo, weigh-in, measurements(this is most important)
- Change your Behavior
Drinks and Water: begin adding extra water during your day and stop drink sweet drinks; even the ones with artificial sweeteners. (these seem to actually cause weight gain)
Food: focus on fruits and vegetables that are low glycemic or low carbohydrates. Remove breads and grains from your menu for at least 30 days. (your energy is going to stun you)
Write: jot down everything you put in your mouth.
Move: Move your Mass....do not go and join some fitness center for the 1st 90 days. If you are not in some sort of exercise routine; one must be developed.
Tip from Jane - Begin with simply walking. Just walk. After each meal, make a goal to walk 20 minutes. If this seems to be a strain; begin with just 5 minutes after each meal and build up to the 20. YOU are going to be amazed what this is going to do for your body. If you try to do a huge workout program, you are going to build muscle and gain pounds and even look bulky. Muscle is key; just plan to build gradually and wait to focus on that detail after 90 days. You should have your journal and starter kit by now----begin charting your progress and planning your food choices. I have found that I eat more than before; the foods are more healthy than my old choices. My next post will be notes from my daily journal. I decided that I would not begin putting this data online until I saw results and most important---OTHERS are seeing results on ME!
