the weight loss papers

My husband was commenting earlier today how nice it would be to have a big screen TV to watch the Super Bowl on this afternoon. Low and behold, about an hour later I receive an email from someone that says they have a 45″ TV they’re giving away as they just got a new one and don’t need 2.

I emailed back and said of course that we’d take it. So, my husband is on his way to claim his new prize! He’s totally beside himself, happier than a kid in a candy store.

What does this have to do with weight loss?

I have no idea other than having a positive mindset is beneficial to losing weight and achieving good health. And if my husband can do it, I think anyone can!

Put your dreams and goals out there and give the Universe a chance to make them come true. You never know what might happen when you do.

Some might think that weight loss and the Super Bowl do not mix. And usually, you would be right. Anyone who’s been on a diet knows that days like Super Bowl Sunday are pig-out heaven - especially if you or someone in your household is throwing a Super Bowl Party.

But it doesn’t have to be that way.

On my plan, I give myself 2 “cheat meals” per week. Those cheat meals are where I can eat anything I want to. And it works great! Because I get to eat foods I enjoy, it helps stop cravings (which are the #1 reason people fail when dieting) and because it helps keep my metabolism in check.

So tomorrow is no big deal around our house. We’re having pizza, chips and dip, and maybe even a little soda or candy. It won’t blow my diet - namely because I’m not on one! But mostly because it’s scheduled right into my plan and menu for the week.

See you at kick-off!
