Post a Note Test

Please be a part of my test.
First get a stack of post a notes. ~30.  You are going to stick these to your mirror or some place you see more than a couple of times a day, in the form of a calendar.  For each day set a goal and put it on a post a note and the date your plan to do the item.  I will post a picture of this when I get it done.
When you complete the goal, put it in the complete box.  If you did not complete that day's goal put it in the sloth jar.
Because you are setting the goals, you control the intensity.  I will be starting with enough days to bring me to the 5K super Saturday in Union Grove, WI.
I will be doing a booth on that day so please stop by to see how I did.  Please send me a picture of your 2 jars if you can't make the event.

Put some real thought into your daily goals and let's have some fun.
I have to get back to work.  I hope to get this done tonight.

I just wrote this really nice post on motivation. And lost it. It's a most pressing. How could I have done that? It's like time just slipped by. With super Saturday just around the corner we don't want time to slip by like my posted. I have a new Dragon software which will make it easier to write the posts on my blog, now I just need to figure a way to make it easier to reach my super Saturday goal.

I will have a booth at super Saturday and please stop by to say hi Lynn.

I am also going to post at the Piggly Wiggly to free giveaways for weight loss support groups open to the first two people that call me.

Why doesn't the weight just fall off of me

This is a question I know I have asked 100+ times.  So I have all the knowledge and the tools to get the job done, I ask again why does it take so long? 

As I look back I can make my list by saying.  I always tell myself, it's a treat, I will start tomorrow, I have things to do, I will get all sweaty.  This morning I told myself, "If I don't do it, It wont get done."
I got up and did a mile.  I could of said- I have to get my car fixed or it's to cold, or.... you get the idea.  I do feel better.    

Please join me and let's get things done.  As you know we sold our house and are looking for a new one.  Maybe we will find one in a area with a running group or come walking paths.  Oh that would be so perfect.  There will be no time better to be perfect than today.  Hit the road, gym whatever just do it.  I really hate to sound like the shoe logo but I can tell you it doesn't happen by itself.

I did go on sparkpeople and map out a mile route that I can do 2 laps.

Let's talk about sugar.  Hows that working for you?  It's not working for me and if I am doing these 2 miles I'm not eating it back with donuts.  Sparkpeople does have a great food log but you need to use it.  Really use it by entering all the food you eat and if you don't want to enter it than don't eat it.

Carry on my friends and I will see you at the finish line.Remember it is better to finish last than not to be in the race.  Repeat after me.  I am a participant not a spectator of life.

Where have I been?

I had a customer when I worked as a waitress, he would tell me saving lives.  It always brought a smile to my face.  He was a nurse.  I always looked him and thought I wish that could be an answer I could give it the question was ever asked to me.  What would it take to save lives?  I have given to you the 27 rules to live by and that is one way I feel I help save those lives in a very round about way.  So now that I have what I consider a message to get out to the world  how do I get it out there??  This is where I have been.  I have my nose in a book.  I am taking a couple of classes on pc security, marketing, and wordpress.
So you ask, How is it going? Pretty good.  Harder than I thought.  There is a reason that when I signed up I got this warning about Really??? 4 classes all at the same time????  Are you sure this is what you want to do????  Of course I said yes! Sign me up! I am tough. I can handle it.  I have no children at home and it is cold here in WI bring it on.  Something should of told me "are you crazy??"  Yes, unrealistic goals are unattainable.  I am doing pretty good in 3 of the classes so I pushed one of them back to a new start date.  Just as other things in our lives we have to look at what is just crazy thinking.  I have another big thing going on in my life right now also.
The day I got the note that my 4th class got pushed back was a huge relief in my life.  If I was to apply this to weight loss can you relate?  Where others look at you and say,"are you crazy! and you keep saying no I can do it!" Is there a better way?  I tell you the 24 hours I spent on the couch reading and taking a few test sure didn't help me reach my weightloss goals?? I made some cupcakes thinking they would in some way help me study.  I put that creamcheese coolwhip on top because the TV said it would be the answer to all my problems.  You are right, I got smarted in one area but pushed the weightloss thought out the door.  I think I am back in balance after this weekend.

Have a great day and I hope to be making some fun youtubes

  I tried to add a comment on this and I keep losing it but I did do a C & P of it.  Some one posted a question of  "what are you talking about?".  Maybe they thought I was freaking out with the creamcheese coolwhip on the brownies.  So here is the post I tried to post back to them.


I wrote you this really nice post back and lost it.  Good thing I am taking the class.  I will be doing the http://www.wisconsinoutdoorfun.com/article/20130321/WOF06/130321039/Fitness-ChallengeI-kicks-off-Richard-Bong-State-Rec-Area.
I need to learn how to add a hyperlink.  Sorry about all this.  I have a week and a half left of these 3 classes and sorry 1 is not in proof reading.  The next class I want to take is on writing.  I need to stick to losing weight and not try to be funny, cute, or witty.  I think I have the hyperlink thing.

I am taking this online class for wordpress.  Don't worry I am still chatting the fat in my spare time.  I am doing this for work to see how we can create a website and if this would be an option.  Anyways I did import the blog from blogger.com but I am not ready to 100% transfer it over.  I am going to work on what I want to do this weekend.  All I do know is that I am back to working out and tracking those calories because this fat thing gone wild isn't working for me. 
I am also looking at where I want to go with the whole chatthefat thing.  I think I would almost like to do either in home support groups or find a place big enough to do support groups.  I might be kind of like a WW but you weight yourself.  This way you don't need to starve your self all day so you can weigh in and then go out for pie after.  If you choose  to eat pie you must ask "how will this help me reach my goal" .  If you have any great ideas let me know.

Eating every 3 hours. The truth

I just have to blast you a link to the cut the fat people because they really explain it well.  This just supports some of my work, thinking and concepts.  The thing I find wrong with the 6 meal thing is that I want you to get things done in your life.  Life is more than just eating.  Now if you are a body builder the thing you are doing all day is building the body and this is one of the ways to do it.
So the average person is not trying to go from 5 to 4% body fat.  When you read something, the first thing you should do is look at who wrote it and what are they trying to promote.
Have a great day.  Lynn

Scramble eggs and chick peas

I am going to try to add some fun videos to my chatthefat.
Oh that was easy.  I figured out how to do something.  Now if I would learn to clear my life plate.  I need to get that painting done.
Here is the second one I did.
Let me know what you want me to show you next.  That is after I get some painting done.
So that first one went up so easy what is going on.  Maybe google doesn't think my chickpeas look good.
I did rewash that pan.  Happy cooking.  I reread the label on my pans and they say hard anodized w/ SS handles.   Bummer.
