Freedom by Having Limits
As hard as it is to count calories and be mindful of what I eat and drink, there's a freedom that I feel when I've imposed limits on myself. The freedom is: on days that I succeed in staying within these imposed limits, I am liberated from the opposite habit that got me in this shape in the first place: mindless…

Motto: Do What you don't want to do!
Here's a motto you may want to consider adopting once in a while (even if it's just once - try it!) Ask yourself: What do I not want to do right now - and just DO IT! Try it once. There are lots of thoughts that will come to mind that you may not realize... Your mind says, "Dont make the bed..." MAKE IT "Don't pay those…

What to do?
Ok, so I know other people can relate to this. I planned out my meals for the day to meet my goals. Unfortunately, I forgot to factor in my exercise calories and I got really busy and missed some of my snacks. Needless to say, it's now almost 10:00 and I'm only at about 1000 calories. What do I do? Do I grab a cookie or…

I know they (the powers that be) say the best time to weigh is in the morning and to do so at the same time everyday because your body weight fluctuates by 5 lbs. everyday.
