Mission Possible: A Reason for Hope

I am actually a very optimistic person. The glass is always half full. . .unless it’s truly almost empty and even then I would find the positive in the situation. It’s just my personality. But I recognize on the road to weight loss that there are many of us who go along and get discouraged at the slightest set back. I wrote last week about how I had been really bad about eating junk food. I was tired, I was super busy last week and I didn’t prepare ahead of time what I was going to eat so I ate … Continue reading →

I had a horribly busy weekend in … Continue reading →

Do You Use the 80/20 Rule?

Maybe for someone with a will of iron steel, this type of indulgence is not necessary. But for us mere mortals who are tempted by cheesecakes, nachos and the occasional soda, the 80/20 rule can be a lifesaver for our motivation! The 80/20 rule is basically as it sounds. . .that you eat healthy 80% of the time and indulge yourself a little 20% of the time. If you struggle with binging, this is something for you! (And by the way, if you’re following the Mission Possible series in my blog or in the forums, this is my ‘dieting’ rule.) … Continue reading →
