Weight Loss With a Twist

Now that the holidays are over and I am back from business trips, I am ready to put some good, healthy habits into practice. I am committed to eating in a more healthy way and becoming more physically active.

One thing I am going to do to help me bring about those healthy habits is to set a weekly focus. That weekly focus will come from the book Our Lady of Weight Loss. Those of you who haven't seen the book are in for a real treat. It is not what you expect. It's all about having fun. I know I will never stay on a weight-loss plan long enough to lose the weight if it isn't fun. Our Lady of Weight Loss provides a bit of humor as well as good advice that I think will help me walk more lightly (pun intended) through this weight-loss process. To give you an idea of Our Lady's humor combined with good healthy advice, check out her 10 Commandments of Weight Loss in which Commandment #7 is "Thou shalt drink enough Holy Water to frighten Noah and map out all the restrooms in thy village."

In the book, Our Lady of Weight Loss, the author provides 42 "Kicks." Each Kick includes just plain old good advice with a humorous twist, a craft project (some silly, but always fun), sometimes a recipe and things to do. I plan on focusing on one Kick a week as support and reminders and levity.

If you'd like to join me, please stop by the Gather group for Our Lady followers -- The Order of St. Joan of the Holy Grill. I'll be making a post on each Kick and serving up my own brand of weight-loss humor. We'll laugh our way through the battle of the bulge.
