can you stay on plan this weekend?

Parties, trick or treat candy, alcohol.... can you handle it? Of course silly! Just make your mind up NOW!!! I WILL DO WELL!!! Plan ahead to make great meal~drink choices. Allow yourself to have fun while still staying with in your limits!

Accept that you’ll have a few more calories than normal…that’s ok, and might even be good for you…and then just get ready to get back on track as soon as you are back home and in control of where and what you eat.
Do you want the chips more than a flat stomach? If so...do it





Decide what you want more ~~~
In the end, your success comes down to this one simple decision:
I truly believe that YOU can do it.

This is a great tasting, thick, hearty Italian soup, that is rich in fiber and nutritious. Great to make on a cold weeknight because it's super quick and easy to prepare. Some can pureeing your beans~ If you prefer your beans whole, you can skip that step. Leftovers can be frozen. Serve this with a piece of Italian bread on the side and top with your favorite grated cheese. For an extra special treat, top this with a slice of melted Alpine Lace Swiss, delicious! Vegetarians can use vegetable broth instead.

The stuff that matters......



Tell me what matters to them.......they love each other...:)

Well, that means a lot to me....my family, health, job, home, dog, ME......maybe all not in that order... giggle...giggle :) What is your most valuable thing to you......maybe its your hair color...? hey where is my brown hair going by the way? This sucks. Oh well ,anyway....maybe you like me find it is my health... WHAT?...not your family? you ask...If I have my health most of the time everything else falls into place....most of the time..:) I have also found being thinner I have a ton more energy to deal with daily routines or running around with the grand kids!




EASY-EASY GRILLED MUSHROOMS
Hands-on Time: 5 minutes .Time to table: about 30 minutes. Serves: about 8
1 pound fresh mushrooms, washed and trimmed
16 ounces Italian dressing, regular or low-fat or non-fat (any ol' cheap bottle of Italian dressing will do)
In a large heat-proof skillet, arrange the mushrooms in a single layer. Cover with the Italian dressing. Place on a hot grill with the lid closed for about 25 minutes, stirring after 15 minutes. To serve, place in the center of the table with skewers on the side. Enjoy!
Stovetop Option: I've also cooked the mushrooms on the stove, when the grill is busy with the main course. They're good, just not 'quite' as good as cooked on the grill.

whether you think you CAN or if you think you CAN'T either way~~~you're right.

If you think something is not possible or out of your reach, you're probably not going to commit much energy and resources to accomplishing that goal...Old habits die slowly because they are driven by an outdated mindset... In order to replace old habits though a change in your mindset, there are three steps you should follow:

1. First, begin by specifically identifying the results you want.
2. Then create and develop actions that will accomplish those results.
3. Lastly, examine your beliefs about those actions to determine if they are holding you back...

So if you want to achieve your goals, create a mindset made of beliefs that support the truth you want in your future."

I love this~~~ Really people we just need to keep talking(nicely) to ourselves. Encourage yourself!!!

what is your defining moment?


Hmmmmm, well lets see. As I have blogged before, rolling over in bed one night, not being able to catch my breath...heart pounding rapidly...yeah, that pretty much says it all. But one day I was taking my grandson to school, I got out of my van felt cold air. I had ripped the ass out of one of the last pairs of jeans I had. That is a defining moment.....yesterday, I got a call that my 8 month old granddaughter is very sick, needs surgery, THAT was a defining moment. I wanted to EAT~DRINK~SMOKE everything wrong! But I didn't. I will not let those old habits control me....EVER!!!! Getting past these is also a defining moment. Your strength, willpower...just you are amazing! Savor that moment in your weight loss. ( I just worked out instead of smoking....:))
