Thanks! I Pinned it so that I can refer back to it often. I love greens. I'm probably the only person who gets hungry when I smell fresh cut grass. LOL Report Inappropriate Comment

Never seen these in our small town stores. sigh growing our own years ago was the only way, Now we are too old to do that and 50 miles is too far to go for salad greens Report Inappropriate Comment

I ran today

Sunday, October 21, 2012

I finally took some time and went for a 4 miler. It seems like it has been forever since I last ran, but in reality, I think it was a week ago. It took me 50 minutes, but I had spent about 1 1/2 hours hauling branches and stacking logs shortly before I went for my run. So, needless to say, I was a bit tired even before I began.

An offer I couldn't refuse

Friday, October 19, 2012

I took my granddaughter with me while I went to town to buy some totes that were on sale. After I purchased them, she asked me if we could go out to eat. I told her no because I really did not have the money to spend. She said, "I''ll pay for dinner with your money." Now, how I could I refuse an offer like that.

We went to Bonanza and had a great time, turns out she just watched the movie Clue (my all-time favorite) and most of our conversation became one-liners from the movie.

It is so important to accept offers, isn't it? One never knows what can come of it. Especially the chance to start new style relationships with our relations! I'm so glad you had a great time with your granddaughter. You are both lucky to have special simple joys together! Thanks for your support in my ongoing battle with sugar and those blues, too. Those simple things you take the time to do here online really can make a difference for those you touch. dDawn Report Inappropriate Comment

Sounds like fun! For me, the "social" eating opportunties are the hardest to skip! So I try to still go out with people while watching what I order. Sometimes it goes well and other times ... ???? Comment edited on: 10/19/2012 10:22:34 PM Report Inappropriate Comment

I gained 5% more fat overnight

Thursday, October 18, 2012

As I was rearranging the room with the exercise equipment, I got the HealthRider and did a quick workout. Afterwards, I weighed myself and was impressed with the fat %. This morning when I got on the scale, I had an increase of 5%.

I know there is fluctuation, but I was not expecting to see this much in the % of fat. So, this morning I lost a few tenths of a pound and gained fat while I slept. Interesting.



Please note: I am only commenting on the differences in the % of fat being registered on the scale. I am not stressing over it because I do not believe the scale percentage to be accurate

You are not your numbers!!!! Somebody told me that her body fat went up after taking a shower. Um - nooooooooooooo - those things are just not that accurate! Here's a thought! Put the in the closet and leave it there for a month. Whew! Problem solved. Report Inappropriate Comment

You know that can't be true. TRYINGTOLOSE64 is right. That number is not your worth! Report Inappropriate Comment

Aren't those body fat numbers on the scale frustrating?? They are to me too! Interesting you had that big of a jump overnight. Weird! I used to have a Health Rider years ago. I didn't think those things were around anymore. LOL Report Inappropriate Comment

Ummm...no, you didn't. A "Consumer Reports" magazine said that these scales are not as accurate as other body fat measurement methods. The measuring 'tool' is a current that runs from foot to foot so it only measuring fat content in the lower body. The best scales on the market were only accurate up to 80 percent of the time. Plus, there was no consistency as to whether or not scales reported a higher or lower body fat content. In order to get the best accuracy possible with your model you would have to test your fat percentage under the same conditions each time. That means, same day, same time, same everything... I wrote a blog about scales yesterday... Don't allow these numbers to dictate how you are doing. Report Inappropriate Comment

Don't allow those numbers to put a value on you! As you stated fluctuations happen. Report Inappropriate Comment

Wait! Before I ...

Tuesday, October 16, 2012

Before I put something into my mouth I need to ask myself these questions:

1.) Am I really hungry or just eating for the sake of eating?

2.) Is what I am going to eat going to benefit my body or just provide me with some momentary satisfaction that I may regret after it is done?

3.) How much do I really need to be satisfied and not stuffed?

I asked myself these questions as my husband and I went to the candy store and I bought nothing and I survived the night

These are excellent questions we should all ask ourselves. Especially ones like me that struggle with emotional eating! Congrats on the successful store run! Report Inappropriate Comment
