Week 5 - Day 1 ExcerptToday’s Thin Thought: You don't get everything you need from the food you eat
I am so proud of you! Here we are, beginning our fifth week of the Thin Over 40 plan. This week we are going to be taking a look at the role of nutritional supplements and proper adrenal and thyroid functioning. For those of us over forty, maintaining a healthy weight and energy level can be more complicate than keeping your food intake down to a set number of calories per day. Over forty, we need to be strategic not only about what nutrients we get from food, but also about ways we can support our bodies through nutritional supplementation. The research is exciting and encouraging! Continue your daily assignments:
Drink lots of water
Bend, stretch, and move upon waking
Walk in the morning for at least 25 minutes
Keep track of what you put in your mouth
Watch your servings/portions
Watch your intake of unhealthy fats
Move more during the day
Chose a variety of whole foods over fragmented foods

"Thin Over 40" Journey March 20-26 Week 4 – Making the Most of Nutrition Week 4 - Day 1 Excerpt Welcome to your fourth week of Thin Over 40! Each day you are taking the steps needed to anchor yourself to this healthy rejuvenating lifestyle. Now is not the time to think you've got this thing figured out. Now is not the time to pick and choose what you will or won't do. Now is not the time to slack off. Now is the time to recommit yourself to be Thin Over 40. Continue your daily assignments: Drink lots of waterBend, stretch, and move upon waking Setting The Day for Success The Key Concept for this week is Food and Mood. What you eat really does affect how you feel. And part of the difference has to do with the way the foods you eat affect your metabolism. When you feel run down, sluggish, unenergetic, you tend to have a depressed mood. You don't feel good and your attitude reflects that. Success in Action I want you to take this week to record in your journal how you feel after each meal. Do you feel energized and refreshed after eating, or do you feel weighed down and lethargic? Do you experience cravings within an hour after you eat? Two hours after you eat? If you do experience write down the first food that comes to mind. What is it you are wanting? Is this a common desire?
Today’s Thin Thought: What you eat affects how you feel.
Walk in the morning for at least 20 minutes
