Look at the picture above. This lady is holding a replication of five pounds of body fat; which is huge. Now imagine that amount of body fat DOUBLED! That is what Steve and Sherri still have to lose.
This past Saturday, Sherri calculated how much body fat we needed to lose. According to the calculations, Sherri would need to lose 12.48 lbs of body fat and Steve would need to lose 11.23 lbs of body fat. Obviously, the possibility of us losing every ounce of body fat in our body is small, but we do hope to exchange some of our body fat with lean muscle. This will of course, aid us in maintaining better health, which is one of our main goals.
Do you know your body fat percentage? You just might be surprised as to how much of your weight is body fat. Go online and Google "how to figure out your body fat percentage" and see what number you come up with. Once you determine what your body fat percentage is, you can then determine how much body fat you need to lose (although this calculation does takes a little longer to do).
Side note:
So, do you desire to make a healthier food choice? If so, than this is one small step you can take in the right direction. You have three choices: 1) you can either eliminate mayonnaise altogether, 2) begin to use it sparingly, or 3) even substitute it with mustard (depending on what you are using it for, of course!).
Here's to trimming the fat!
Or you can substitute it with avacado as well, a much healthier source of fat. I happen to like mayo & don't plan on giving it up anytime soon. I already gave up my soda a day habit though:)
ReplyDeleteI am just now using avocado and I love it! Good job on giving up soda!! The carbonation in soda is so bad for the body, even diet soda is not that good for you. Drink lots of water, that is the best thing you can do for your body as it helps flush out nasty toxins.
