Steps to Freedom Week: Are you Eating Min-Meals?

This week we are looking at the Steps to Freedom. Don't get overwhelmed. Follow The Daily Healing Journal and it will all be done for you.

The first few steps are all about healing your body. If your body is not strong, how can you expect your mind to be? It all works together. Remember this is all about getting you in the best shape physically & mentally. The more you put in, the more you get out.


Mini-Meals
Are you eating small meals throughout the day? I have found that if you eat approx. every 2-3 hours it seems to keep me feeling great.

Make sure that these mini-meals are planned out & healthy. Handful of almonds, slice of cheese, slices of turkey breast, small salad. Then Breakfast, lunch & dinner can be a little larger. I still like to eat on the small side at these meals too. I use a salad plate to help me regulate how much I eat.

Some of the benefits of eating small meals are:
· Speeds up metabolism
· Regulates blood sugar/insulin
· Curbs cravings & prevents binge eating
Just make sure you're not filling up on processed food, flour goods & sugary treats.

My meal schedule is 6-9-12-3-7. The Yahoo reminders can help keep you on track too. make sure you are signed up for this support tool.

When we feel nervous or anxious sometimes the last thing we want to do is eat. When in reality it helps to calm our body & fuel our brains.

Follow The Daily Healing Journal. It will keep you on track.Make sure you have printed out the sheets for the daily healing journal. Enough for a few days to start. Find a great binder, one from the Garage is fine. Dust it off & let's get started. I am right here with you! Don't worry.

1st page of your Binder should be The Contract for Freedom. Have you signed one yet? You can find that one here.

Here is the link for the Healing Journal. Don't want to waste ink & paper? We have them bundled up for you in the Egg Shop & they are ready to ship to you today. Each book contains 31 sheets for the month.

Make sure to read Your Daily Egg each night this week as we look at the Steps to Freedom.

Keep me posted on how you are feeling or if you have any questions. I love hearing from you!

Wishing you a peaceful day,
Amy
