Team #Cinchspiration Week 11 update

In the beginning…never going back!!

I have been using Cinch products for 11 weeks now! I can’t believe how much I have changed in these 11 weeks. I’ve lost 30 pounds and am wearing clothes I haven’t worn in years!! I feel great and actually look forward to my walks. I’ve learned several things about myself, food and exercise.

• If you exercise in the morning you do get more done during the day.  (I know cliche right?) But when I get up, blog for a few minutes and then drop off my daughter at school and then exercise the rest of my day flies right on by.  I actually feel more energized and make it to just under 10,000 steps a day.  Usually around 9,000 a day and sometimes more.  2 months ago I wouldn’t have walked that in a week.
• I don’t like pop/soda near as much as I thought I did.  I occasionally want one, but only drink half of it and get rid of it. I want water!! I drink 8 glasses of just water each day and actually crave it.
• If you are dieting you shouldn’t be hungry.  If you are making the right choices you will be eating healthier, being fuller longer and making lifestyle changes.  Not just a week’s worth of changes to lose 2 pounds.
• It isn’t easy but it is doable!! The decisions you make in the store affect what you eat at home, so choose wisely.
• Fruit is really sweet after not eating “sugar” for a couple of weeks.  I still crave “sugar” but when I do I eat a piece and move on.  I no longer eat the entire bag, bar, box or whatever.
• MODERATION~~Yep that’s it! If I want something I eat it but not as much as I used to.  And when I go over my calorie intake I do more exercise to burn off my extra calories.
• It isn’t rocket science, it is common sense.  I’ve been told all of this stuff before but for whatever reason it clicked this time.
• Cinch is great!! You have more energy and you don’t have to exercise!!
