Union Grove WI

We are getting settled in the great town of Union Grove, WI and spring is on it's way so what's next??  There are a couple of great event being held in Union Grove this summer.  The first one that I will be at is the glow run    on June 6th 2014.  This is to be held at the fair grounds.  The second one is the Union Grove Super 
Saturday. Link from last year. 

So your thinking this could give you the motivation you need to get some pounds off, clean up your eating, and get you moving.  So you do great the first few days and give up. Is there a better way of staying motivated? What if you had a support group, would you do better?  You have a great group of friends that all have the same goal in mind, so your good to go right?  Oh and you have the latest book on the latest diet.  What else could you need?

Why not have a chatthefat party?  What I am offering to you is 40 years of study in the diet and weight loss industry.  What is the truth about the latest and greatest. 

A weight loss coach could be just what you need to keep your group on track.  For a fee of $50 You get your friends together at your location and I am offering a 1-1.5 hour coaching answering all your questions.  (Everyone also gets a free copy of my material.)   If you have 10 people at your party the math says $5.00 each.  Such a deal.  Give me a call to work out the details. We can meet up on your terms, once a month or a week are good guidelines.  262-939-8514 or e-mail me at chatthefatwi@gmail.com.

Because I can only help and you have to do your part we can't expect instant result.  You have to do the work.  You can't do a cram the night before.  Now is the time to get moving in the right direction. 1st step is to get a green light from your doctor to eat a cleaner diet, walk 1/2 hour and cut food high in additives.

I have set up a chatthefat group for the glow run.

Update from the spirit fair.

Update from the spirit fair.

I wrote this at the spirit fair last weekend.  I am really thinking about what I want to do with my chatthefat business.  I have hours of work into this and I give it all away for free.  I am thinking people don't give value to something they get for free.  

21 day fix up date.

It has been getting nicer outside and I so want to enjoy the out doors.  It is really hard to stay off the computer and concentrate on my goals but as the #1 concepts states, if it’s not working change it.  Well this isn’t working as well as I wanted. 

My review of the 21 day fix program is that it is a great tool.  I have put many foods into the containers to remember portion size.  The way Beach Body groups some foods has caused me to try different foods.  The goat cheese I started to put on my salad is great.  It is a goat feta cheese.  When you really taste some of the commercial cheeses they have no real flavor. 

Every day I just keep learning more and more.  I listen to many podcast to see if I am missing something.  I am finding more confirmation for the 27 concepts than new ideas. 

I am trying to separate fad and media driven ideas from the truth.  It is hard to do this because it is easier to make a happy meal look like fun on the TV than it is to make an apple look fun.  One example of veggie advertising is sponsored by a salad dressing company.  Do they really want you to eat the veggies?  No what they really want you to do is buy a lot of dressing.  Put it in a dish and load up those veggies.  There is two ways of looking at veggies and dip.  Either veggies and just a little bit of dressing or dressing transported by the veggies.  This is the same thing you can say about other sauces and gravies, which has more importance? The sauce or the main item.  Are you eating a little gravy on your turkey or are you transporting the gravy to your mouth with the turkey? 

Why do we give up hope?  This is the question I am asking right now.  I was almost enjoying the 21 day fix workouts, so why did I give up?  One of the first reasons was because I missed my treadmill.  I want to do a 5K (goal) and just couldn’t see enough benefit in the workouts.  The scale wasn’t moving fast enough so I deemed it as it wasn’t working.  I also missed going to the gym with my friend.  Going to the gym is a form of a social event to me.

So what am I going to do about it?  1^st get off the pity pot, there will never be a perfect time. 2^nd if I don’t change the way I am thinking now I will not have made the changes I need to in order to re

21 day fix recap.

I have been eating some really good food.  I have been drinking the shakes and do enjoy the flavor.  Are they the greatest thing in the world?? no but maybe they are like the other things in your life that you don't appreciate it till you stop taking it.  I want to put u some really great food ideas.  What I have noticed is that I am very much more careful about serving size and upping veggies.  The other thing is the sweets or cheats.  What ever you call it the shakes kind fill that void.  I make a shake in the morning out of the chocolate mix and add some unsweetened coconut.  I do put it in my retro blender I got from my parents.  I did buy the shake type attachment and it fits great on my blender.

So if I would sum this program up I would give it a high ratting.  It gets you thinking.  The workouts are only 30 and they have a clock on them.  My beachbody coach is great and having a facebook support group really helps.  I really like that it is more of a private group so not everyone sees your posts.  
I think one of the reasons I want to just give up is because it has been such a long and cold winter.

It is fun having a support group with the 21 day fix.  I will be doing another 21 days.  I will put it on a new post.  I have kept 5 pounds off and feel strong. 

Does anyone agree with me?

https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/rebooted-body-podcast-reprogram/id634732968 

This is the podcast I am listening to right now.  I will sum it up so far.  Eat food and walk.  They are talking about 1 thing that is dropping my mouth open.. Pomegranate juice and super foods. Who is drinking 3-4 bottles of this in 1 day.  I use this to boost immunity.  1 bottle and go to bed.  I just want to shake my head.  If you are sick I want you to cut food for the bacteria which is sugar.  I also want you to repair.  You can't go to the gym and give your body time to repair.
Really think about lifting weights; you are tearing down to rebuild and repair to make stronger muscle.  Now you are going to do this while you are sick.  Really think about this.  Do you really think you could build the best wall while you have no energy.  When the body is sick you need to add no extra stress to the body so it can just work on getting stronger.  If walking up a 1 mile hill is hard enough why would you say "Hey give me that 100 pound sand bag" and only walk 1/4 of the way or maybe just 2 or 3 steps.

I am waiting for then to talk about ship off my leftovers to the starving children China.  OK now they are talking about the 6 meals thing.  The 27 concepts are still dead on.

Why do we listen to the experts that have something to sell?

If you are in Milwaukee and around The Atrium 6169 B Industrial Court, Greendale, Wi 53219 http://www.meetup.com/TheAtrium/events/166286192/

I will be doing weight loss coaching all day.

Plate size

 This is a plastic lid I had that demonstrates how a plate size affects the quantity of food image. This is a 6.75 inch plate which some people use as a dessert plate, an overflow plate or just something to set a spoon on.

 Next we have the 8 1/2 inch plate most people use as a salad plate. We have used this plate for the last five years as our dinner plate. By making the switch a 4-6 ounce piece of fish looks huge. When you pair a protein with a large serving of vegetables on the size plate is full. When you and a half a cup of a carb. there is no room for anything else. I feel this is the perfect transition for anyone that is looking to cut back on the quantity of calories they are eating. When you put the essential nutritional items on the plate it looks like a huge plate of food that will fill you up.

This last plate is a 10 1/4 inch plate that allows for many extra calories you may not necessarily need to feel full and satisfied. Just as when you find a bigger box to put your stuff in you find a more stugff to fill the box.  This size plate does encourage eating more than you may need. When you place a 4 to 6 ounce piece of protein on this plate your eyes tell your stomach you're being deprived.

By making the simple change in your life your eyes can tell your brain you have had a plate full of food and that you should be satisfied. Because you told the brain the body will follow. This whole logic is right along the lines of you eat the size you want to be. If you want to be the jumbo plate with the sides that allow you to pile food 3 to 4 inches high you will never be in control of what you are eating.



On day one I want you to think about in a positive way of how small simple changes can make big changes in your health. When you are finished with your meal you should be satisfied comfortable and wanting to do something. You should not be looking forward to taking a nap. If you are looking forward to taking a nap after a meal you have eaten too much. One of the concepts is the 80% rule which refers to eating till you are 80% full. At 80% you have the energy to go do something along with the ability to look forward to your next meal. You should never walk away from the table saying all my I have eaten so much I don't need to eat anything for another week. Please email me at how you feel at the end of the month.

Don't reinvent the wheel

What is so good about greens?
