Topic : Maximizing Weight Loss Through the Tough Times

I am revisiting these, posted by one of our group, earlier...


THE TEN COMMANDMENTS OF WEIGHT LOSS

1) Thou shalt honor thy health and good spirits above all else.

2) Thou shalt not go on crash diets; there lieth the way of madness.

3) Thou shalt not clean thy neighbor's plate.

4) Thou shalt not eat when thine eye lusteth but when thy stomach
doth supplicate for sustenance.

5) Thou shalt sup chiefly on the fruits of the earth, the grains and
vegetables thereof; on the fowl of the air and the fish of the
seven seas, whence donuts cometh not.

6) Thou shalt not eat when thou art miserable, for food is not a
medicine unto the soul.

7) Thou shalt take exercise daily; for why hast thou sinew and bone,
legs and sneakers?

8) Thou shalt be patient but not forgetful of meal times.

9) Thou shalt take delight in every good friend and good song, in
every good walk and good day; for to enjoy them more is why these
commandments are given unto you.

10) Thou shalt not knit thy brow if thou transgress a commandment,
but forgive thyself; for it is written, nine out of 10 is not
too shabby.

Shirley - love the prayer

Raven - loved he 10 commandments

 

Thank you both

 

Every day is a one day challenge for me - still hoping that one of these days I get it right .... I have been doing OK with the fruits, veggies, fiber and water .... what I need to work on today is the IE ... somehow that has fallen to the  wayside and that explains all the STS weeks for me ... time to kick it up a notch ....

 

Y'all have a great day/weekend.... love, peace and prayers.....Always, Donna

 

 

RAVEN - I AM WITH YOU ON THE ONE DAY CHALLENGE!  How about Sunday as today is almost half over for me, although I am staying on program today too.

 

After you are finished painting your apartment you will sure remember how good it feels to be on track as you will be getting lots of IE.   Have fun.

 

Hugs,

Shirley

RAVEN - Enjoyed your 10 Commandments of Weight Loss.  At almost the same time you were posting this I was posting A Dieter's Prayer......think it is just before your post.  With these 2 examples we should have a good day......day by day.

 

Hugs,

Shirley

we just got home and got the groceries put away.  got some great foods for the week.  i had a salad this week at work.  grilled chicken on baby spinach and baby romaine with cranberries and pecans, some shredded cheese and ff dressing............was it ever good.  i bought the stuff to make it myself at home.  i also bought some sunflower seeds for my salads and will use a tablespoon or so on them.  got my fresh milk and "skinny" bread, some fruits and veggies so i am set for a while again.

 

also replaced my yogurts and snack items.

 

we also bought some cornish hens for tomorrow night.  never had them before but will roast them like i do the chicken.

 

i am going to read posts and then will be back.  hope i didnt miss everybuddie.

 

will be in and out all day
