It is the white book with the big bagel on the front. So what am I learning from this book? I am just happy I limit eat very little wheat. I am learning why I get the headaches. Now I look at everything I have written on chatthedat and I will adjust anything I might of said that I feel different about with this new knowelage. Here is your list.
Nothing. I have always felt processed is processed I don't care what color it is. If you can't eat it don't eat it. If it causes strange behaviors keep it out of your house. This does explain why I can eat a whole pizza ands never get full.
I would rat this as a must listen to. The reading would be really hard for me but I do understandwhat he is talking about.
Option 2 is to just say, Lynn your are right and thanks for the info I will test it out.

Kick boxblast
How does this sound?? Cindy and I are going outside of our comfort zone as Jillian calls it. We are going to try something new. I am trying to get into the swing of getting to the gym more often.
I wish they had a kettlebell class but I'm thinking this should be really fun. I guess I will never know just by looking through the window. Make a pack with yourself to try something new every month to start. After that start making it something new every week. This could be anything from a new class, new spice, a new anything that promotes better health. I did read something about baked potato chips. The reg. ones were saic to be better for you because they are at least real potatoes. The new thing you might try is reading more lables or looking something up on line about a product you thought was healthy.
Blog me back your OMG I couldn't believe......
I am hopping to blog back OMG I couldn't believe how much for that class was last night.

Whole grain second opinion
http://www.podcast.com/Health/Fitness-and-Nutrition/I-2358.htm
I was listening to some podcast from the nutrition diva and came across something interesting. This past weekend I was telling a friend of mine that I really watch grain carbs. She reminded me of how good things like brown rice and other whole grains were for you. I tell you she was like a hard sell door to door sales pitch. It was like she spit at me everything the TV has ever put out. Now you have to love her but I am posting a second opinion that says put all grains in a measuring cup. 1/2 cup may be good but 2 cups is not best. I would have headaches. Put that 1/2 cup of pasta with 3 cups of roasted baby carrots and you might feel better. In China 1 serving of grains is 6oz. not the 8 oz+ we eat here.
Consider the source when you hear the latest and greatest breaking news and really think about what they are really saying. I will continue to watch the amount of carbs I get from grains because it works for me.
Just a note. For breakfast I had 5 egg whites and 1 whole egg w/ spinach and onion. OM really good w/ salsa on top. It beats anything out of a box to get me going in the morning
One of my other fay fighting guys posted a blog about what is really in that instant oatmeal that the box says is heart healthy. There is a reason I call instant oatmeal one of the baby bird foods.
In my spare time I read about what is out there in the diet world. This is far more scary than anything that S.King guy can write.

Help I am running out of time.
I am listening to Dustin from fit moms and he is asking you to think about your life 10 years from now. Help Dustin you are scarring me. 10 years from now I will be 63. If I don't make changes now I will be the same in 10 years and the body will be a little less fit and just the thought that if I can't make the changes now how do I think I will change in ten years from now.
I will post Dustin's link.
I will be joining his webanar for Thurs.
I will let you know and pass on any tips I may learn.

get2in and be the plant
How many things can you think of that go with the phrase get2in.
1. get 2 miles in. I got them done this morning and feel better about it.
2. get 2 things done in the day. start getting those get it done list crossed off your list and clear your life plate.
3 get my 2 mile time down by 2 min.
You get the picture. This is the time of year to get the seed planted. You till the dirt, fertilize, and water. There's not much change. Everyday we look at the pot and there is no change till one day there is s little green peeking through the dirt. This is the same as weight loss, not much happens but you still care for your plant as you do your body till one day you see a gap in your waist band. You get excited, share the news but then what? Do you take that plant and put it in the sun and dry it out? Put your plant out in the sun despite the air temp. What do you expect? Can a plant really grow in 30* just because the sun is out. Are we expecting to much of ourselves? 30 pounds in 30 days??? Really?? Maybe 2 months. Like over eating, what if we over water? Or over sun??
We are the plant, we are now planted. We have our plan.
We will eat thinking and following the concepts.
The plant needs wind resistance as we need resistance training to build strong bodies.
Goal is to get 2 miles in for 2 months. You can do it! You can do it. Put a big star on your calendar when you get it done. We want to have things done so we are ready for the spring and then summer. This is the time to get things started.
You can't pick the fruit if you don't plant and care for the plant.
If you are going to be one of those smart buts and say, you can just wait till summer and buy the fruit then so be it and buy your body shapper and you can look good but you will know it's not the same.
Really think about the tomatoes you buy in the store, do they really taste the same??
Let's be the plant, it is so worth it.
1. get 2 miles in. I got them done this morning and feel better about it.
2. get 2 things done in the day. start getting those get it done list crossed off your list and clear your life plate.

Lets get moving Jan.
So you are tired of the extra pounds hanging on your body, what do you do?
Option 1 Take a pill and poof it is gone.
Option 2 Wish it away
Option 3 Keep doing what doesn't work
Option 4 Make some small changes to your day.
I am going to talk about option 4
The month of Jan we want to add 30 min of walking to our day.
Because it is so easy to out eat this added walking we also want to do 1 instead of.
An instead of might be apple for hash browns. Veggies instead of a potato. Try roasted carrots. These are really good.
Wearing a pedometer is a great idea so you can see how many steps you do or don't do in 30 min or how many miles you can do.
At the end of the month how much have you improved?
There are a couple of ways you can track your day.
1st sparkpeople.com love it and it is free I am lynnbaum on the site
2nd get a notebook with blank pages
3rd get a calendar that you can write on the days.
4th scrap paper. just remember to date the paper so you remember what order they go in.
Ideas to avoid
1. It's all up here. You will be amazed at what you forget.
2. complex trackers you don't have access to, or take to long.
3. trackers kept at work. Really you don't eat on the weekend.
Thinks to avoid you may not think about.
How much time do you spend with your computer?
Dream it. You have to do the next step of do it. Stop just dreaming.
As we start this new year lets make a difference. Let's do something, make changes. Take control of what you want and as the shoe co. says, just do it. We are going to say "get it done"
What is on your "get it done list""?
If you have something to do, how does it fit on your get it done list.
I will do a blog on the get it done list.
A preview would be that you may add lost weight to a year list but in your 1/2 hour list would be walk 1-2 miles.
Something on the 15 min list might be dust the living room or do the dishes then cross it off for the day.
I now have to go get those 2 miles done.

Fun meals 1-1-13
BTW Make your lunch-in plates your new dinner plates. You will not starve. Also don't forget to season your food and not with sugar. Read all labels. If you are adding a blended spice and it states natural spice, this may be another name for sugar. If sugar is a trigger food for you do some interneting about spices and what spices go with which foods. I have the flavor bible. This is a very cool book.
This is an average size salad I would eat. I have saute mushrooms and onions and then some deli chicken. I then put some fresh deli salsa on top. It was really good.
Fit mom's core test
I wanted to wait til the first of the year to test this DVD out. As some of you know, I chat on sparkpeople on the striiv board. I had to clear somethings up to make room for this test.
I did put the DVD in a couple of times. Dustin explains how to do each exercise correctly. This is important because there is no benefit in doing something wrong, no matter how many times you do it.
I think what I will do with this post is to just keep updating this post. I will take my measurements so I have something to compare my results. The goal of this test is to see if Dustin can zap my muffin top.
I will post an update the 1st of every month. The first of July you will be able to see my results. This gives us 6 months to really stick to it and make it a habit. Part of my goal is consistency and not to be a quitter. How many times have you started something only to look back and say -I started so strong, what happened? Read post about 3-6-9.
1-1-13
My first review. I am excited to get going. Do the lessons and tips. Dustin put them in there because form is the key to success.
1-4-13
It's to hard, I can't do it, I give up!!! Really?? No way. I will do my best over and over till it's not as hard and then I will move to the next level. I will never achieve if I don't do it.
Just need to post that I do think dustins dvd is good I have to put this on hold because I have my workout area ripped up and we are working on getting it back together along with looking for a new home.
This is a bad case of I have to much going on right now. I am also trying to take 4 mini classes online. To top this all I dropped my mouse in my drink. It is now in a container of rice :(

2013
So it is a new year YYYAAAA. Happy New Year!!!!
What is your new years resolution? Is it the same as last year? If it didn't work last year, why would it work this year??
(remember I chatthefat and mostly fat)
Here's some of the reasons it will work this year
1. you have a support group that won't slack on you.
2. You have a support group that doesn't judge.
If you don't have an internet support group check out sparkpeople or one of a few other support groups. Sparkpeople is a free site if you like.
So you are all set and ready. I have Dustin's Core DVD that I am ready to test out and give you a review on. I also have a new striiv challenge set up on spark.
At the gym I am at they have a body pump class on Wed. at 6. This works for me and my workout buddy.
I think I will post a Fit mamas post and just keep updating it.
I am going to take a 2 day class on social media and blogging to enhance my blog abilities. I think I will post some food ideas. We all know I am a big supporter of at-least 1 big spinach salad a day. As you track your food or should I call it just as it is... your nutrition. So what kind of nutrition are you planning to feed your body for 2013? What are you expecting from your body in return? If you need to post a reminder of things that don't work, post some place you can see often "If I feed my body sugar I can expect my body to run a 5K in good time" Doesn't work! I tested it.
For the month of Jan we want to work on the number 1.
Limit sugar to 1 serving per day and pick 1 meal from the day and up your veggies at that meal. Remember when you up the veggies you replace not just add. One way you can up those veggies is to add veggies to pasta dishes and cut back on the pasta. I cut a brat and toss it on salad.
1 Serving. This may take a little adjusting to but it is important. If you go to refill your plate, ask yourself "how is serving 2 helping you reach your goal?" Do you need a second brat or could you have some fruit? Don't wait til you are full to eat fruit, make it a part of the meal.
On to the day because if I am setting my goal of 15,000 steps for today I better get going. I also have to do Dustin's core DVD.
My best to all.
