Reflections from this Past Week, October 17th

Did You See This?

Dr. Oz had a sement "Empty Nester Gets on Track".  Take a peek - I think you'll find it interesting and inspiring.  Be sure to watch both Part 1 and Part 2.

A Note from Kim

Just a gentle reminder this is the last week for the Lose for Good Campaign.  Please continue to take the pounds off and bring the food in to help support others who are in need.  Thank you!

There was a lot of discussion this past week about various tools we can use to help us with our weight loss journey.  Trackers, scales, eTools, measuring cups and spoons, attending meetings, the slide to figure points values, points calculator, Dining Out Companion, Complete Food Companion.....the list goes on and on.

One tool in particular generated a lot of discussion - ATTITUDE.  I think everyone agreed having  the right attitude is crucial - it can make or break anything - be it a business, a relationship, or your weight loss.  How true.


Attitude is very important, though not often appreciated, especially when it comes to losing weight.   A negative perspective can be debilitating.  As I tell my members, just because you are eating healthy, doesn't have to mean you have to eat sad!  Focus on the good things you are eating and not how the portions you're consuming aren't as robust as they used to be.  Think about how much you enjoy experimenting with new recipes or new foods.  Recognize how you enjoy moving more.  Think about how good you feel and look as you move toward your goal.

YOU CAN DO IT!

And, yes - much to every one's surprise, I'm a Star Trek fan, right down to the ring tone on my cell phone.  With this in mind, let me leave you with this thought:
"Weight Loss.....your final frontier.  Your mission is to establish a healthy lifestyle - to boldly go where you have never gone before."

Live lean and prosper.  (a little "Mr. Spock" humor)
