Meet-up group

I lost part of this post talking about meetup groups but the you will get the point.  I think it was to long.

one of the rules is if it's not working for you change it.  If I have little or no fitness friends then I have to go find them.  I have done a couple of meet-up group for business but never fitness.  I looked it up in my area and no real groups in my area.  There is one that someone started but it doesn't look like they are really doing anything.  This brings me back to maybe I need to be the leader.  Someone has to, so why not.  I think I will ask my friend Mary if we can do a chatthefat meet-up at the sci-fi cafe.  That would be fun.  Some days I look at some of my friends and say like the popular girls from the ad say, ooo,  really that's totally gross.  I then think "you really want to lose weight?"  Friends that think alike is a great support. I need to find some fitness friends.  I think fitness friends is a great name.  I liked fat friends because I know it was the people looking to reduce fat and increase health.  The fun thing is people would question the term fat friends.  I then had their attention to say yes they are the people trying to go from 10 to 6% body fat.  Yes I am talking the 10-20 pounders.  As hard as the 1st 10 and the middle pounds were these last pounds are a killer.
I figure if your not in the last pounds, follow the 27 rules and you will be.  I have tested these  27 rules many times and I keep coming back to them because they work.  I was listening to the cut the fat podcast and they also include some of these concepts.  The one they should add to their talk is you are or will be the size you eat.  So why haven't I written a book 2 or added to book 1??  because it works.  I did do what I call a couple of drafts but the concepts stayed the same.
What # is "If you want it what are you willing to do to get it?"  I really want to kick some but at golds so I am really watching what I eat, more than the 80-20 rule.  This does not include multi bowls of ice cream w/ magic shell.  I would like to say "Really, that is so gross" but some how I can't.  The thought of the strange chemicals should scare anyone but to me it is just one of those things.  So what can I do about it?  Make it be one of those special things that you only eat once a month or once a year.  I think there is a rule sugar for food.
So with all this said you have to take charge and decide what you want and do it.  If I want a meet up group I need to start it or maybe contact the one that looks like it is dead in the water and maybe spark some life into it.

BTW this is too cool.  I was listing to something and one of the answers to a question about what diet you follow was nutrition.  cut the fat people also called it something.  This means I am making an impact someplace.  High nutrition.  YES I can see it now. Love it.  How can a box of chemicals put high nutrition on the outside.  If it is fortified then it is like food on a vitamin.  How can a cookie be the same Vit. C as blueberries?    Eat the blueberries.  Truth in advertising is only part of it.  The box says..  What does the label say?  If you want it you have to do the work and you have to be smart about it.  There is no easy way, there might be some less painful ways but there is no easy way.
Have a great day  Lynn

Detox

I found this in my email this morning.  I have to go back and read it 100% but womenshealth.r.delivery.net/r/c/r?2.1.3MK.2o9.15y2Ga.VPc6iI..H.FdXC.3FR0.bW89MQ%5f%5fCUdCFMR0

Spoiled brat diet

So I'm at the point in my life I really have to look at things and say why isn't this working?  I will call this spoiled brat syndrome.  We will shorten this to SBS.  So SBS says if you cry loud enough or long enough you will get what you want.  So I am here to tell you not true.  I tested this out.  Also the big plan magic curtain also doesn't work.
Lets really look at this SBS.  You make this plan buy all the equipment and you know it will work because you have a big investment and you want it.  You really want it.  You want it so bad you tell everyone that crosses your path, then you do a internet site and tell the world you want it so bad you deserve it.  Well I am here to pop your bubble.  SBS doesn't work.  Have you ever watched a runner.  I know they are a group all their own but there is something you can learn from them.  Everyday they get up lace up and go for a walk/run.  They think when they eat, I'm not going to run if I eat this because it will make me feel sludgy.  Eaters say "This made me feel like crap last time I ate it but I will eat it anyways because it will be different this time."  If a mouse hits a wall a couple of time they learn an chose a different path.  Why does SBS tell us if we hit the wall enough times it will move. TLAR (Think like a runner)  So TLAR tells us if we do a little everyday we will keep things going in the right direction.  Weekend warriors (WW) get stiff and sore and are in pain on Monday.  So now we have 3 groups of people.  If you walk or do something for a 1/2 hour everyday then when you play WW you won't be as sore.
So our goal for this week, yes just 1 week is to TLAR.  Do something.  We need to think, I am able to;  I want you to stop saying I can't and say I get to.  If there was a reason you couldn't, that would be different.  You are able and you are wasting this ability.  If we were to think of something to be a reminder we will call it going green.  "Doing the Green"  put a post a note up that say s "Doing the green"  When someone
ask you what it means you tell them you are trying to remember not to waste.  They will think you are now the big recycle person and just say oh ok that's nice.  When you look at "Doing the Green" you will think- not to waste the things we are able to do.  Who said - if you don't use it, you lose it.- Think Are you willing to give up the ability to go for a walk, rake the yard, go to the gym,  play games, I don't care if you are using soup cans and doing weight training.  Spark people had a bunch of free instructions. We are Doing the Green.

So last night (I have no kids at home) I made a pork roast. Dear husband had it on sandwich when he got home, I had it with some green peppers, onions and mushrooms and I also wanted some popcorn.  This was my trade.  I had no potato, rice, or other grain carb so I made some air pop popcorn.  When I was thinking about the popcorn I thought about the 1/4 cup of oil you use to pop the corn.  It has to go someplace.  I then asked Is there a better way?  Air pop. Was it as good? At the time I did miss the oil taste but it didn't cause any imbalances.  How do I feel this morning?  Great.  Playing zumba tonight.  Worked out and did 2 miles last night.  Feel great. So I need to remember this feeling.  We need to remember these positive reactions PR.  PR is a good word.  Make a list of your PR.  If I was to start a list I would include
1. walking or running makes me just feel better
2. working out looks good on my but.
3. gym classes brings me some common goal friends.
4. getting things done around the house gives us a cleaner house.
5. eating high nutrition low sugar doesn't cause headaches
6. walking the dog is healthy for the dog.  Ever hear about dogs and owners that start looking alive.  This goes for body size.  Does your dog eat everytime you eat?  If you change your habits track your goals by your dog.  walk the dog is a good PR.

OK I have to get to work.  Yes I work 40+ hours outside of trying to staying healthy.  I am just like you.  I don't have any children at home but I did at one time so I can relate.  I have a husband.

In close I will say, follow the 27 rules and let's live healthy.  Learn them and live them.
My best to you.  TLAR
