So now the cupboards are ready to forge forward providing only good choices. It is back to work for me tomorrow. Made some veggie soup and a veggie casserole to bring in for lunch this week.

Stay strong! ////////////////////////////////////// 5 Surprising Facts About Willpower By Joy Manning From the WebMD Archives https://www.webmd.com/diet/features/willpower-facts#1 If only you had more willpower, you would easily stick to your diet or exercise program, right? Nope. It turns out you need a lot more than willpower to do things like that. It's not just about self-control. In fact, willpower might be the most misunderstood of virtues. Once you get wise to how willpower works, you'll know how to use it, why it can go off the rails, and how to get it back on track. What Is Willpower? The American Psychological Association calls willpower "the ability to resist short-term temptations in order to meet long-term goals."Using willpower sometimes means not doing something, like skipping that second slice of cake you really want. Or it may call for a delay, like having a cooling-off period before you buy something that wasn't in your budget. Willpower can also be about taking positive action, like working out as you had planned, though you really don't feel like it. These five truths about willpower will change how you think about and use this inner resource to help meet your goals. 1. Your willpower is like a piggy bank. Just like dollars in your bank account, your willpower is in limited supply. On any given day, you should budget your willpower so you have it when it counts. For example, if you plan to hit the gym after work, pack a lunch. You may not have the wherewithal to resist pizza for lunch and also work out on your way home. One thing can lead to another -- in a good way. One of the best things about willpower, according to Marina Chaparro, RD, is that growing self-control in one area of your life leads to other positive changes. “It changes the way you think. Once someone gets back to the gym, they may also start eating better,” Chaparro says. 2. Your willpower is like a muscle. “Many people think you’re either born with willpower or you’re not,” Chaparro says. “But that’s not true. It’s actually like a muscle you can strengthen over time.” You work out your willpower a little differently than you exercise your abs, but both routines require doing it over and over. Setting small, incremental goals that you regularly meet is the best way to boost your willpower. Much like with your body, if you overdo it by taking on a bigger challenge than you’re ready for, you won’t get stronger. You’ll just be sore. 3. Your feelings affect your willpower. The connection between your emotions and your ability to turn down a cookie is not obvious, but it’s is definitely there. A hard day at work can limit your ability to meet goals later in the day. It's not just feelings that affect willpower. Anything that involves a lot of thinking and decision-making will make you more vulnerable to temptation later on. 4. You need more than willpower. Willpower matters, but you’ll also need other strategies to help you keep on track. By its very nature, willpower is something that comes and goes. And it can be gone when you need it most. One of the most effective tools you can have is known as “precommitting.” It’s a technique that takes willpower out of the equation. You scrub your environment of temptations you know are likely to test you. An example of precommitting is getting rid of all your junk food and not buying any more when you are at the grocery store. A shopping list you stick to is another good habit that can supplement your willpower. 5. Willpower is a renewable resource. You're human. Just like everyone else, there will be times your willpower runs out. But it is possible to restore your supply. Take time out for yourself as a way to recharge your willpower batteries. “If you get stressed, take a short walk,” Chaparro says. She finds that the most rejuvenating “me time” is unstructured and offers freedom from your routine. Listening to music is another proven way to help restore your willpower. |

Thursday we're supposed to get some snow, then the coldest air of the season is coming for Saturday. I guess I'm getting used to it.

The outside decorations will need to wait till we have a spring thaw. Most of them are anchored in the ground. Have a good Wednesday! |

I may just stay off from work tomorrow and avoid the road. Depends on how bad it is or suppose to get. I saw an advertisement for the new 911 show. I would watch it but it comes on at 9PM I think. Too late for me. I am an early bird. Perhaps I can watch it on-line later at the TV's website. Another day of eating in moderation. Still lots of cookies and treats left at work. I hope someone takes they home soon. They can't be good sitting out for so long. They are not tempting to me because they are old, so no problem there. Here is an inspiring story below, so I would like to share it with you. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 10 Weight Loss Tips That Work Roberta Messner shares how she lost almost 100 pounds--and kept the weight off! by Roberta Messner - Posted on Jan 3, 2017 https://www.guideposts.org/better-li...tips-that-work How did it ever come to this? I wondered aloud. I’m 55 years old and shopping for a scooter to help me get around! I was distraught by how I’d let my joints get so bad, carrying all of this extra weight, but I knew I needed that scooter, so I swallowed my despair and ordered a red one. Might as well have one that matches my nails and purse, I decided. That’s when my doctor remarked that if I lost some weight I might be able to avoid that scooter. But I needed to lose nearly a hundred pounds. I’d tried every crash diet and none of them seemed to work—not for long, anyway. And I really never lost that much weight on any of them. I mentioned this to my sister-in-law Ellen and she insisted that if I was really serious about this weight loss thing, she would be my cheerleader. Ellen has incredible energy and passion so, embarrassed as I was, I decided to take her up on it. My progress was slow-I only lost 45 pounds in the first year-but I lost an amazing 94 pounds by the end of the second year. Here are some of Ellen’s favorite tips that helped me keep the weight off for good: 1) When starting out, change only one habit at a time. After reviewing my habits, Ellen remarked that it was when I was eating that was more of a problem than the amount of food I consumed. So the first habit I changed was not eating anything after 6 p.m. Three weeks later, I had lost three whole pounds! I couldn’t believe it. 2) Be patient and appreciate small changes. Starting small was the answer for me. I've seen people who go on radical diets and might lose 5 pounds in one week, not three pounds in 3 weeks. Don't let slow weight loss discourage you. If you want to lose weight and keep it off, changing your habits for the long haul makes a difference. So be patient and stick to your plan. (It’s amazing to contemplate, but eliminating only one can of pop a day can result in a 25 pound weight loss in a year.) 3) When weight loss stops, change another habit. When I hit a standstill, Ellen had me replace my two daily soda pops (260 calories each or 520 calories) with bottles of water and cut down on bread. (I’d eat my evening grilled cheese sandwich with only one slice.) In a week, I’d lost another pound. Then another and another. My blood pressure dropped 20 points and I was down a dress size by the end of a month, my joints weren’t so sore, and I was moving more. This was incredible for me. I followed these habit changes again until I stopped losing. Then I added a new habit change. I didn't give up on the old change, I just added another one. This time I swapped yogurt for a candy bar until once more I didn’t see the numbers change on the scales. Ellen promised that sooner or later, the weight would come off because I was consuming fewer calories, eating the right things, and walking more. It was simple science. 4) Toss out your fat clothes for good. As I saw those numbers change, I got rid of elastic-waist slacks and too-loose skirts and replaced them with chic clothes from the consignment store in town. As I lost, I kept trading up, or should I say down. I discovered another fabulous life strategy: Shop the bargains at consignment stores to put your wallet on a diet too. Many of their offerings are new or nearly new. 5) Eat what you want--in small amounts. I didn’t deprive myself of anything while on Ellen’s plan. If I was at a birthday party, I allowed myself a few bites of cake. That kept me from feeling different from the people around me, which had plagued me on other crash diet plans. 6) Journal your intake. This made me more accountable and helped me to understand food and drink issues that were interfering with my success at weight loss. 7) Find an exercise you love. I couldn’t exercise in the beginning because of mobility issues, but after I’d lost 20 pounds, I discovered my back pain was less of an issue. So I phased in walking, an activity I enjoy that also sparks my creativity, as a writer. 8) Engage a weight loss buddy. At work, Rita was trying to shed a few pounds too. Whenever I’d hit a plateau, the two of us kept each other encouraged in the heat of the workday. We also shared healthy food choices when eating out. 9) Substitute fruit for fruit juice and stock up on low-calorie favorites Apples and oranges have more fiber than their juice counterparts and increase your feeling of fullness too. If you've got low-calorie snacks you like at home, this will keep you from going out to eat for snacks which contained more sugar and fat. By doing this, I also decreased my bread consumption by 75%. 10) Use a smaller plate. I love antique red transferware so I used a red transferware dessert plate for meals instead of a standard plate. I found I ate much less and enjoyed the experience of eating much more. Eight years later, I’m down more than 90 pounds. And that scooter? Mysteriously, it never arrived. The medical equipment store says my order somehow got canceled. I say God intervened so I would experience Ellen’s painless, life-changing plan. |

I didn't want to get sick. I have been walking around in the house with thermals on under my clothes for the past few days. Just staying warm and playing it safe. Today I took down all the rest of my Christmas decorations and packed them away. All except 2 that we use on the walls for nightlights. I sorted some out too to downsize. I will either sale them in a lawn sale or give them to the Animal Shelter thrift shop later. I know I said I was going to keep them up to February, but I needed the space to move our elliptical machine and hand weights into the living room. So the elliptical has now been moved there with my husband's help. We rearranged some of the furniture to give it a bit more space and it looks fine now and ready for use starting tomorrow. I am so excited about our progress this week. :hug: Let's keep the motivation going. :broc: Have a super Sunday! //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// The Importance Of A Positive Weight Loss Mindset http://www.thinandstrong.com/positiv...-loss-mindset/ Many people don’t consider the link between a positive weight loss mindset and success. However, going around thinking ‘I can’t do this’ or ‘it’s impossible for me to lose weight’ will indirectly sabotage your weight loss efforts. After all, thoughts become actions. A positive mindset on the other hand pushes you in the right direction each and every time. If you believe that ‘I can do this’ and ‘I will lose weight’ and then keep repeating these thoughts to yourself, you will consistently take the actions that are necessary for weight loss success. This article takes a detailed look at the importance of a positive mindset when you want to lose weight and listing the top 4 reasons why you should have a positive mindset when aiming toward a trimmer figure. The Top 4 Reasons Why You Should Have a Positive Mindset for Weight Loss Success 1 – A Positive Weight Loss Mindset Improves Your Dietary Choices http://www.thinandstrong.com/wp-cont...12-300x198.jpg Making consistent positive dietary choices is something that many people struggle with when trying to lose weight. However, this is largely because of their negative thoughts and mindset. If you have a negative mindset when making dietary choices, you will experience temptation, emotional frustration, overeating and crushing disappointment. A negative mindset will make you feel resentful about having to eat healthy foods to lose weight and when this occurs, you will seek out unhealthy food to comfort you. A positive mindset on the other hand helps you to approach your diet with empowering thoughts. Instead of thinking about what you cannot eat and what foods you have to give up, you will think about the exciting foods and recipes you can try. You will also start to think about all the weight loss possibilities that will open up to you as a result of sticking to your plan. 2 – A Positive Weight Loss Mindset Boosts Your Workout Performance Your mindset also has a significant impact on your workout performance and success. With a negative mindset, you’ll find that you dread every workout and won’t perform at your peak. Over time, this will be detrimental to your weight loss efforts and limit your overall success. When you have a positive mindset, you will find yourself performing to your maximum potential most of the time. This will accelerate your weight loss results and allow you to achieve your goals in the fastest possible time. In addition to this, even during the times when you do not witness immediate results from your exercise, you will not be discouraged as you will know that every workout is helping you achieve your long term weight loss goals. 3 – A Positive Weight Loss Mindset Allows You To Enjoy The Journey http://www.thinandstrong.com/wp-cont...03-300x199.jpg When you have a negative mindset that makes you feel depressed, upset, stressed and dejected during your weight loss journey, your energy levels will be depleted and you will begin to feel tired, sluggish and unfulfilled. Not only is this detrimental to your weight loss progress but it also makes it difficult to enjoy the process of losing weight. If you change your attitude to one of fun and optimism, your energy levels will pick up and you will begin to enjoy your entire weight loss journey. You’ll look forward to trying new exercises, enjoy experimenting with new healthy recipes and have an amazing time losing weight. 4 – A Positive Weight Loss Mindset Reduces The Impact Of Setbacks No matter how much effort you put into losing weight, there will always be times when you fall of the wagon and experience setbacks. With a negative attitude, these setbacks can derail your weight loss efforts and cause you to make more of them than is necessary or even quit altogether. A positive mindset minimizes the impact a setback has on your weight loss journey. Instead of thinking that your weight loss routine is never going to work and that you are wasting your time, you’ll accept each setback as it comes, learn from it and move forward. Summary I hope this article has shown you exactly why a positive weight loss mindset is so important. The attitude that you carry with you can literally make or break your weight loss journey. So if you’re not doing so already, start focusing on positivity today and let it guide you to future weight loss success. |

Meals Tofu scramble Cabbage, carrots, mock sausage Clementine Mock fish and lettuce Did good today avoiding the cake/cookies/candy. Went to the bible study after church and they were celebrating a birthday for one of the ladies. Twice I had cake placed in front of me, and twice I was able to slip the cake on to someone else. The cookies/candy were right next to me too. However, I was able to keep them to the table in back of me, so that helped. I just had to pass the plate around when people asked for them. So all is well for today. Our temperatures hit 27 this afternoon, so I was able to take my dog out for a short walk and play with him in a nearby field. He was so glad to stretch his legs out and run, run, run. :) Looking forward to the warmer weather forcasted for our area later this week. We actually had a mosquito in our house today. I don't know how in the world that happened. Perhaps it was on some of the wood outside and when we brought it in for the fireplace, it was revived somehow...don't know.

Good job managing those food portion sizes! It makes a big difference. I hope your Mother-in-Law gets well soon. It must be so hard for her at that age. I am suppose to meet up with some friends at a restaurant later this month. We picked out what appears to be a good Indian restaurant. I saw the menu already, so I will be able to make a good healthy selection. Now I just need to remember to in moderation and not over stuff myself. I can bring leftovers home and have later. ;) Have a great Tuesday! ///////////////////////////////////////// The Easiest Ways to Cut Calories and Junk From Your Diet http://www.thinandstrong.com/easiest-ways-cut-calories-junk-diet/ If you’re trying to improve your diet, you’ll often find it’s easier to focus on the things you want to remove from your current eating habits rather than trying to add things. And the best way to make that successful is to focus on just the smallest things that will cause the smallest change to your feeling of fullness and energy throughout the day. Here are some very easy ways to cut calories and reduce the amount of junk in your diet! Get Rid of Soda Drinks One of the very best things that anyone can do for their diet is to remove soda drinks from their diet. That means no more Coca-Cola and no more 7-Up. Why? Because these drinks are absolutely packed with simple sugars while offering nothing healthy in return. They’ll make you feel hungry and they’ll add lots of calories while contributing to lipogenesis (fat storage). Choose the Right Coffee What’s just as bad or arguably even worse is when you stop by Starbucks on the way into work and grab yourself a large Americano. There’s nothing wrong with the coffee – rather it’s the large amounts of cream, full-fat milk and chocolate sprinkles that get added. Simply switch that morning beverage for an Americano or a black coffee/sea and you’ll instantly save yourself the damage – cutting your diet by 100-200 calories immediately. Stop Adding Sugar Another tip is to stop adding sugar to your tea. Once again, this adds unnecessary calories and then creates hunger pangs following your release of insulin that will suck up all of your sugar and leave you shaky. Moreover though, adding sugar to everything makes gets you accustomed to things tasting sweet. In other words? You develop a sweet tooth. And now nothing you eat is going to be as satisfying unless there’s sugar on top! Remove the Butter Butter isn’t unhealthy for you as such, but if you’re trying to reduce your calories specifically then lathering this onto everything you eat really isn’t going to help! Get used to eating your sandwiches with just the spread and you’ll find it easier to lose weight! Share Dessert Even when we’re dieting, it can be hard to turn down a nice dessert when everyone else is indulging – especially because we may feel as though we’re being boring or preventing others from enjoying their food. The simple answer? Offer to share with someone! You’ll save money and calories! |

30 minute walk 10 minutes stretching 27 minutes elliptical 10 minutes trying to hula hoop Meals Slimfast Clementine Veggie Soup Trail mix bar Mock Crab bites I got so very hungry on the way home today. I thought to myself, am I really hungry or bored. After about 10 minutes and with my stomach growling, I knew I was really hungry. So after scrounging through my purse, I was able to find a trail mix bar. Yeah! My emergency stash in my purse saved the day. It kept me from getting a headache and gorging on food when I got home. :) Tomorrow is mid-week. I don't feel too much different than Sunday. I will keep at it though. Persistence pays off! Hope you have a great Wednesday! /////////////////////// 12 Examples of Persistence Paying Off https://www.glidedesign.com/12-examples-of-persistence-paying-off/ Persistence is the quality of continuing steadily despite problems or difficulties. It is one of the qualities of high achievers. The longer you stay committed to a task or goal, the more likely something good will happen for you. And believe me- the Universe will test your commitment to your goal. You develop yourself and learn new lessons, you face challenges and obstacles, but the payoff comes when you refuse to give up. Have you heard that anything worth having is worth working for? It’s true. Some of my most difficult situations preceded tremendous breakthroughs. There are tons of examples of underdogs or heroes of ours who persisted, stayed on course, and met or even exceeded their goals. Let’s look at some examples.

I had to be so careful walking on the sidewalks to make sure I didn't slip and fall. Had a couple of close calls too. I didn't want to walk on the road with my dog due to all the salt. It is not good for his paws and I don't want him ingesting any of it. Do you have any horse competitions in the winter or are they only in the Summer? I quit taking my dog to the Agility club. I didn't care for the people there too much. My dog and I can have fun in our back yard.

Walking again around 10:00 with temperatures at freezing with a slight glance of a snow flurry here or there. By afternoon the sunshine was at full blast with the temperatures still around freezing. Had 2 people join me for the walk I had planned today. Yeah! Checked out a few exercise videos from the library. First one was Zumba and with some latin dance music and steps. Thought it would be fun, but it just wasn't my type of music or exercise technique for this Zumba version. Have 2 more to look at over the next few days. Trying to find something that works for both my husband and me. Hope you have a wonderful Saturday! Congratulations once again. :carrot: http://www.glasbergen.com/wp-content...es/toon576.gif |

2 mile walk 3 mile walk Meals Tofu scramble Bean soup Taco salad So cold out today, but I bundled up real good with layers. Glad the sun was out and made it a nice day. Tomorrow I have off due to the holiday. Haven't planned anything yet. Should do something though. Probably should look at one of the other exercise videos. Glad your Mother-in-Law is coming home soon. I hope she is feeling better. Too bad they can't figure out why she is coughing so much. Hope you have a nice Monday! https://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/dat...o9aKtUUAf/2QA=https://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/dat...o9aKtUUAf/2QA=https://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/dat...o9aKtUUAf/2QA=http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6WG-EMn_-N...cise+comic.png https://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/dat...o9aKtUUAf/2QA= |
Exercise
2 mile jog 15 minutes zumba 30 minutes Walking DVD Meals Tofu scramble Two boiled eggs Bean soup, cheddar cheese Swiss cheese on pumpernickel So cold today. Stay bundled up for most of it. Got my hair cut today, about 4 inches off. Looks much better. No longer the hippie look. :smug: My husband didn't complain about me getting it cut this time. My last DVD I got from the library was a walk at home DVD by Leslie Sansone. The music was much better in this one and it was more enjoyable. My husband even came over for a bit to try some. He said it would still be hard on his knees, but next time he would do the elliptical while I exercise to the DVD. Yeah! I hope he does. Will find out soon. Did some sewing/mending today. Various bits of paperwork, nothing real exciting. Got a few flurries. Hope you have a terrific Tuesday! https://i.pinimg.com/736x/33/da/42/3...onal-poems.jpg |
Exercise
1 1/2 hrs. morning barn chores 1/2 hr. evening barn chores 1 hr. raking leaves and picking up branches Meals oatmeal with blueberries banana piece of chicken, hardboiled egg salad, chicken, rice, corn My big maple tree never lost it's leaves until recently. I had lots of leaves piled up around the house that needed to be raked away from the foundation. Chris mowed over them to chop them up. We're supposed to get 3-6 inches of snow tomorrow so I thought today would be a good day to rake. I don't think I ever raked leaves in January! My mother-in-law came home today, so I'll be busy helping her. I can see she has gotten more frail. I love the poem you posted! Have an awesome Tuesday! |

Exercise
15 minutes stretching 2 mile jog 3+ mile walk Meals Tofu scramble Clementine Slimfast Larabar Swiss cheese on pumpernickel Salsa and tortilla chips I have been having trouble trying to reply to messages. My computer just sits there and does nothing. Eventually I get it to work, but it has been frustrating this last few days. Have you had any trouble replying to it? We are suppose to get snow tonight, but only about a inch or two. We shall see what we really get though. Tonight I was going to do a miniwalk, but it felt so good to be out there walking, and I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to walk tomorrow, so I kept going. So I am a little behind schedule this evening, but it was worth it. :carrot: Glad you liked the poem. I thought it was terrific and wanted to share it with you. Hope you don't get too much snow. Have a wonderful Wednesday! http://www.sparkpeople.com/assets/cartoons/diet177.gif |

Exercise
15 minutes stretching 2 mile jog Meals Tofu scramble Banana Slimfast Swiss cheese on pumpernickel, mock chicken pattie Salsa and tortilla chips We only got about of inch of snow here. So no problems weatherwise. Today was a rough day for me. First, I cut my thumb I think on my umbrella going in to work. I looked down at my hand and there was blood all over it. I was worried I had blood on my face too when I walked in to work, but I didn't. Then later today, I tripped over my computer cord and fell. I think I have a pinched nerve now in my arm/elbow. It hurts when I move it certain ways. I didn't go to the work medical center after it happened, but probably will go there tomorrow.. My computer cord is usually up off the floor and away, but somehow it must have fallen down during the day. So that is my whining for today. ;) Thought about having a second mock chicken pattie tonight, but restrained myself. It's about 15 minutes later now, and I am full so glad I didn't indulge. Have a great Thursday. Stay warm. |

Glad your Mother-in-Law is doing better. :hug: My arm is a little bit better today. Med center was closed today, so I will see them on Monday. Didn't eat the best today due to work and travel, but did refrain from getting any sweets. Although I must admit I looked at some cake, but just thought this will go straight to my butt. 15 minutes of enjoyment, but a couple of weeks to work it off my body. :( So that made the choice simple. I put it back on the shelf.
