WHO IS VAL?

Hi my name is Val Cavalheri.

Last week I had the pleasure of meeting some powerful and awesome ladies at the Modern Mom get together at San Vito’s in South Riding. One of the feedbacks that I received, once I was introduced as “the Val who is losing weight,” was that no one really knew too much about me--other than that I was losing weight publicly.

When I first started this venture, I wanted to be ‘everywoman’. Thinking that all the readers out there could better identify their own weight loss issues with someone who was more like them, whoever “they” might be. I found, during that evening, that people really wanted to know who I was. So here goes: Read More about Val

Digg!

So this snowy/icy couple of days have been difficult for my lifestyle change. Being stuck in the house made me realize that what I really needed was healthy foods to be the only thing I see when I opened the refrigerator or pantry. So, I took the opportunity, when the weather got a little better this afternoon, and did just that. I filled my cart with things that I wouldn’t feel bad about eating small quantities of.

I have to admit that having someone checking in with me and asking how my eating is and whether I’m exercise is so important. Being accountable to someone other than yourself, is huge. I recommend that you find someone who you both trust to call and call you out. You will also need to give them permission to do so AND not put up with any silly excuses, like the weather was bad.

Know what I mean?

My goals for the week:

• Cut out sugar.

• No fast food. Period. None.

• I’m going to count calories before I eat them, not after.

I am looking forward to our get together at the end of the month. Of course, we would meet in a good Italian restaurant!

Ciao,

Val
