Step-by-Step Plan to get FAT

I received this e-mail from Joel & Josh - BioTrust Nutrition [support@biotrustnews.com] this morning and had to laugh.  I already know how to do this.  So if this is how to get fat then I just need to undo what I have been doing.  This is the plan for 2014 Get it done and stop goofing around.  Let me make the list of what is not working.

1. Thinking I no longer have to write things down and counting calories.
2. Thinking as long as the scale is going up slow, it's not so bad.
3. Yoga pants are a size.
4. I made it to almost goal weight so the Gods will keep me there.
5. We are to busy to cook or I am sick of cooking. 
6. Cheatday is a month long.
7. I just want to get some things done on the computer done first.
8. I wear my striiv pedometer so that is good enough. Really 2000 out of 10,000 not bad, right??
9. I'm the teacher of the class, enough said right???
10. I will get back to the gym soon. 
11. As long as I eat a big salad for lunch I can eat anything else I want the rest of the day.
12. UUUUHHH that looks like 2 oz.of cheese.

As you see you can make your own list and undo it.
So the first step in undoing is to look at what you have on-hand to head you in the correct direction.
Sometimes you must set limits on activities that are making it hard to stay on track.
The biggest thing for me to limit is interneting.  

My list of positives would be;

1. Logging into sparkpeople and log all food eaten.
2. Drink less coffee and more water.
3. Get planks done
4. Print calender and get star for eating well, star for getting 2 of the 3 challenge levels completed each day. 
5. Blog progress once a week.

Please join me by setting your own goals and let me know how things are going during the first week. 
When you let negative thinking sneak in, stop it at the door.  Repairing 1 meal is easier than repairing a  day or a week.

I found a post that backs eating healthy

 This really makes you think about eating healthy.  Cancer, we will never really have a black and white line on why this happens but if there is a way to avoid it why not.  It is a new year, let's really look at our eating and workout habits.  Who are you kidding???  If you stand in a closet with the lights out do the calories count??  Lets turn the lights on and look at the truth of how to eat high nutrition 80% of the time. 
I am looking forward to feeling better and De-stressing in 2014.  If the year of 13 was the year of bad luck the year of 14 has nothing to do with luck. 2014 is my year to drive on and make things happen. 
I want you to get out your paper and make that list.  Now it is time to get these things done.
Check out the link to see 1 reason we want to eat nutrition.  Note when the immune system becomes toxin.... 2014 we do not want to detoxify as much as we want to stop putting the toxins in.

New Name

I thought of a new name for the support group I went to lead. NA, I could also call it NAS.
So and a stands for nutrition awareness, NAS would be nutrition awareness support. I think this will sound so much better when you say I have my NAS group tonight. When people ask you if you would like a piece of cake any say uuummmm NA it will remind you of your support group and that we are all behind you.

I guess I want to have a name for my group that you're not embarrassed to say but it gives it real meaning so NA it is. I do have to teach my Dragon that may is really NA.

We will still be chatting the fat at our NA group. I think I have written before that the reason I use the word chat the fat is because it's something my grandmother used to say. She listed in a manner of you would chat the fat chat over what is deeply bothering you or just slightly shoot the breeze. It is kind of a anything goes what's on your mind type of an expression.

In our NA group this is what we want to do. We want to talk about what prevents us from our goals, what's weighing us down, what's just on our minds, what we just need to get off our chest. When you think back to how we learn things sometimes saying it out loud makes it a little bit more controllable. In class we talk about every morning you should get up and three times you say "I am a healthy eater". Why do we want to say this three times? The first time you tell yourself the second time you reassure yourself and the third time you say proudly.

Well I am off to work for another busy day with one less thing on my mind, NA I do like that name. NAS would be a good name if I wanted a bunch of people to accidentally come to my blog but that is not the purpose of this blog. The purpose is nutrition awareness. The goal of our group is to support those that truly want support for what they believe, that you can eat healthy in today's world.

My best to you Lynn

Me and my Fat Fighting Friends 10-1-13 week 1

This started with a pack of 10 for $10.00 rice mix.  I added some ground turkey I browned off the other day and then froze.  I added some veggies I had in the freezer.  Dear husband enjoyed it right out of the pan.  I put it on some of the new baby greens.

So tell me how this sounds for a quick dinner.




This was lunch.  Yes I use the big bowl.  I put salsa on for dressing.  Remember to weigh or measure your cheese.

I am happy to report I did get those 10,000 steps in.

Spirit Fair support group

I had a great time at the spirit fair at the Atrium in Greendale with my friend Marilyn.  For those of you that are doing the fair in November it looks like I will be having class at 2:00.  If you missed week 1 and want to jump in on week 2, I say welcome.  Stop by my booth so I can kind of catch you up.  

I do want you to journal.  I don't really care how as long as you track what you are eating and how do you feel.  If you would like to e-mail me any concerns please do so.  I will also be working hard over the next 2 months.  


Could we all be down 10 pounds in 2 months.  Yes we can as long as we are starting now.  Please allow this to be a positive choice in your life.  I do not believe in the weight watchers cram class.  

Let's think of some fun and positive food items: fish w/ mango salsa and roasted carrots.  OOOHHH fill my plate
