Great Ideas!

I wanted to share a couple of really good tips that I received from Bro. Wagner recently. He has lost quite a bit of weight for health reasons. He went to a hospital seminar with a nutritionist.

The things that impacted him were the following ideas:

1) PUT YOUR FORK DOWN! After each bite put your fork down and finish chewing and swallowing before picking it back up for the next bite! Bro. Merritt has been trying it since he left a month ago. He said just leaning that trick netted him a 9 lbs. loss last month. It is very hard to do but it gives your mind time to adjust to knowing it is full sooner. We usually, I for sure, just keep shoving it in before we have even finished chewing the last bite! I am trying my best to implement this new idea into a lifetime habit.

2) Don't eat while doing other activities. Enjoy your food! Every single bite! Sit down and enjoy what you are eating. Your mind will register that you have actually eaten!!! I am bad for just shoving it down while on the computer or on the run!

Just those two ideas are life changing! And weight loss in inevitable!

Enough already!

Well..........it's been a long time and the weight has slowly crept on and I am totally out of shape. I really need to get back on the bandwagon of sensible eating and exercise!

I am ready for the gig! Is anybody else ready to go again!?!

My life has been so hectic and this area of my life has gotten out of control. Time to bring it back together and get in control.

I am starting tomorrow. Monday!!!!

I have some ideas to share later on. I am ready for bed tonight but I wanted to proclaim my start so that would really do it!!
