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
