Weighing In - Week Ten

For “Weighing In”, you should post the following things: (1) your weight loss, maintenance or GAIN (yes, own up to it if it's true) for the past week (2) your personal goal for the rest of the week (try to restrict it to one) and (3) your anticipated non-food reward for achieving that goal. Since it seems we are all choosing to weigh-in on Tuesdays, I will create a post for every new week the day before we weigh-in (Monday). This would be a good post to add encouraging words for other individuals as well.

Tips and Tricks - Week Ten

Tip: When it comes to food shopping, something's gotta give. Forgo convenience and shell out the bucks and necessary to eat healthfully! Snacks, microwaveable foods, sale deli meats, portable pre-packaged meals may be cheaper and easier, but so too is a hooker, and you know that's bound to be bad for your health. Suck it up, Scrooge, and realize that getting healthy costs money. Hey, and that stuff costs a whole lot less than lipo!

Trick: Plan meals for an entire week at a time and do not deviate from that plan, even if you aren't "in the mood" for a particular meal on a particular evening. Only buy what you need for those meals for the week, and there won't be temptations or distractions from your plan. Even write out your journal for the day BEFORE you eat anything, and then hold yourself to the plan. Tough stuff, but it WORKS!

Gripes - Week Ten

Go right ahead and gripe! We all have the option to read them or not depending on how we feel. If gripes don't fill you with negative energy, sometimes it's nice to know how much the people around you are suffering, too. Yeah, it sounds bad, but you know it's true...... ;)
