Week 31, Diet with Dianna

I Timothy 2: 1-8 I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone— for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all men—the testimony given in its proper time. ⁷ And for this purpose I was appointed a herald and an apostle—I am telling the truth, I am not lying—and a teacher of the true faith to the Gentiles. I want men everywhere to lift up holy hands in prayer, without anger or disputing.

Happy New Year 2012! 
The first day of the New Year.
I began a new Bible Devotional and study!
I also began a new exercise routine and my daughter has joined me! AWESOME! One day down, tomorrow is a new day!
I pray for each of you to be successful in your dieting/healthy eating and exercising. You cannot have dieting without the exercise. They are a unit~ they go hand in hand. Just to exercise you would probably not see a big difference in your weight.
If you just diet, you might see a slight difference but soon would stall and fail. To be really successful in losing weight you must diet AND exercise.

There are two kinds of exercises that are beneficial to success.

1. Aerobic or getting the heart pumping fairly rapidly for an extended period of at least twenty minutes. Then a cool down and slower pace until your heart is back to normal.  
2. Muscle toning or Strengthening. Using some sort of weights or resistance bands to firm up and tone muscles. All muscles in the limbs and your core. Try a few to start and then progress to more difficult. NOT BODY BUILDING, just strengthening to prevent muscle loss during weight loss. You can actually lose muscle when dieting so it is vital to add some sort of muscle toning along with aerobics.

When choosing an exercise routine, choose to only do muscle toning every other day. Aerobic exercise can be done everyday! Only in muscle toning should you rest a day in between to let your muscles rest and heal. Most experts agree on the resting, unless you are body building.

Aerobics on the other hand is good for every day. Maybe alternate between just walking and doing a more defined aerobics workout.

Have a blessed day and YOU ARE A WINNER!
