Weighing In - Week Eleven

Well, I'm a turd. I skipped weighing-in this week and therefore forgot to add to the site. But here it is! (And I'm sure you were all beating your heads against the wall and spinning in mindless circles in utter confusion as to why this site hadn't been updated......)

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 Eleven

Tip: Just adding fiber to your diet isn't good enough when it comes to processing the food you eat. Your body works more efficiently if you include leafy greens in your daily schedule; the greener, the better. Sure you might be getting plenty of "veggies" like potatoes, cauliflower and corn, but you're doing your body a disservice if you're avoiding the gang green.

Trick: "Phone a Friend" isn't just a help on Who Wants to be a Millionaire! When you are thinking about eating something you know that you shouldn't, call a friend instead. Spend the time you would otherwise spend eating chatting with someone. Your mouth will be busy talking, so no food should be going in, and you receive additional support from someone who cares or may even be in the same boat.

Gripes - Week Eleven

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...... ;)
