Hello Fit Soldiers Family!

May is kicking off our Revolution for a Cause charity drive.

For the month of May we will be recognizing and supporting the Denver Rescue Mission.

If you are not familiar with the DRM (those are also my initials!) then you might certainly be familiar with their Lawrence St. sign downtown, a cross that reads "Jesus Saves". Although that is the most well known of their shelters it is certainly not the only one they have, nor is it all they do.

The DRM meets people at their physical and spiritual points of need, with the goal of returning them to society as productive, self-sufficient citizens. They provide multiple shelters and programs and no one is denied services because of gender, race, color, creed, national origin, religion, age, handicap, political affiliation, sex, sexual orientation, or marital, parental or military status.

Check out this story that is right up our fitness alley!

Hello everyone, Katie is back with third update on her Precision Nutrition Lean Eating Journey. If you missed her previous posts you can check them out here: http://fitsoldiers.com/home/item/lean-eating-series-here-we-go

First let me apologize for not being more consistent with my posts. It has been an insanely busy past few weeks! The third habit I was given to practice was, and is still the most difficult for me to implement, but is also one of the two most important habits we will be given all year, according to Precision Nutrition. It is to stop eating when 80% full. You might be wondering “how do I measure 80% full?” Well, it isn’t an exact science, but there are some ways to measure and accomplish this.

Stop eating just a little sooner than you normally would at every meal. Either you can put less food on your plate than you normally would, or just don’t clean your plate, instead save a few bites for later. Eating slowly, which is the other of the two most important habits in lean eating(according to what they tell me) will help you stop eating at 80% full because you will be more in touch with whether or not you are actually hungry.

Before you start eating ask yourself if you are physically hungry. Notice your hunger cues. My hunger cues are a growling stomach, an empty feeling in my stomach, and/or irritability. Yes, when I am super hungry I tend to get a little grumpy. Sometimes Dave can even tell that I am hungry before I realize it myself!  If you are hungry eat something, but eat it slowly and mindfully, and make sure to stop when you are satisfied and not stuffed, again to 80% full.

Another helpful tool they gave us to help us work on this habit was to imagine a hunger scale. Then rate yourself between 1 and 10, with 1 being no hunger and 10 being the hungriest you have ever been. If you’re around a 7 then eat something, but stop at about a 2 or 3 which would be approximately 80%.

If you’re anything like me this will be quite challenging and may take a lot of trial and error. But give it a try, play with it, and see if you can stop eating at 80% full.

You never know, it might just become a habit!

There you have it! Stop eating when you are 80% full. Give it a try!

Hello Fit Soldiers Family!

We are officially 30 days into our 90 day Revolution for a Cause charity drive. We raised $450 for Judi's House in April!

For the month of May we will be raising support for the Children's Hospital Colorado Foundation and Children's Miracle Network Hospitals.

We have several members, or spouses of members that work at a Children's hospital. We also have some members who have been impacted directly by the Children's Hospital Colorado Foundation.

Here is more information on the Children's Hospital Colorado Foundation and Children's Miracle Network.

http://www.childrenscoloradofoundation.org/

Be sure to visit the CHCF website and learn more about how we will help the Children's Hospital Colorado Foundation.

Here is how and we will be raising support for Children's Hospital Colorado Foundation from now until the end of May....

• Water - $1.00 - 100% of proceeds

You know how much I like goals!

We did a great job last month raising $450.  This month I'm giving us a goal of $1000. In fact Katie and I are already wearing our bracelets! So we now only need $980.

I know we can hit this goal and so thank you in advanced for your help!
