Daily Check 4/13
Good morning wonderful people! Here's a few thoughts about habit I'd like for you to think about: "The power of habit can be a life-giving, even life-saving, force in our lives. As Duhigg concludes, "Once we choose who we want to be, people grow to the way in which they have been exercised . . . If you believe you can…

Get Ready...
The first part of this challenge is to plan a "perfect" food day. Use the MFP food diary to help. 1. It will be moderate in calories for your weight (not low - starving leads to binging). 2. It will support good health. For example, if you want lower blood pressure or cholesterol, include foods you like that support those…

Help with food and portion control
I have been using frozen meals to train my brain correct portion sizes. I often end up eating 2 portions, or choosing meals with too much sodium. I prefer eating meals I make myself, but I'd eat a lot more of it. That said, I'd like to enjoy what I eat and not be hungry. I wanted to know a list of really great tasting, low…

Irritable much?
Quick background: weight loss stalled for a YEAR! Tried all kinds of diets, was doing intense Zumbathons and loving it, but the scale didn't budge. Talked to a trainer, he said, 1200 calories will do it. Lost 5 lbs in two days, gained back 2 the next few days and holding steady there for a couple days. BUT.... I haven't…

Making it Easier
Reading about forming habits, and they say that the energy needed to start a new behavior is a bigger hurdle than the behavior itself. I've tried this in some of my non-fitness routines and it works - so I thought to give it a go on the fitness stuff. I put my workout clothes on a hook, so I don't have to think about…
