Do you notice it when you have had enough to eat, or do you let the appetite needle swing into the red before you stop eating?
Observe if you feel satisfied
Eating to fullness is not the way to drop excess weight.
True, each meal is a time of rejoicing, but it is also a time to reflect on what it is we desire from our food.
Summer produce is so good!
A good meal is fresh veggies and lots of air on your plate.
π If you wish to plan your meals in advance, and the amounts you think you need, it will help you to enjoy your weightloss journey with less stress.
Interesting opinion
Tempting foods abound.
Plan your meal work, and work your meal plan.
You can do it! And so can I!

I call it the obesity cycle: overeat, repent, repeat.
Once you get to a certain weight or a certain BMI, it can be very hard to change to get slim again.
For many people, getting fat only leads to getting fatter.
To make significant weightloss happen, it is clear that the solution to obesity is far more harder to achieve than prominent Weightloss Companies may promise, to say the least.
Yes, it’s true that exercise is the key to a healthier body, but so is what we eat on a daily and nightly basis.
Too many calories can make us fail in our quest to get fit and trim.
Today I am in the repentant phase of the obesity cycle.
For over a month I counted every little calorie that went into my mouth. Suddenly, counting calories began to be very tiresome.
So, after stepping on the scale at the orthodontist clinic yesterday, I saw that I was up 3 pounds because I recently quit counting calories.
I need to start counting my calorie intake again!
I had oral surgery yesterday and I’m kind of spent.
Keep fighting the fine fight and don’t let yourself get too fat.
If you’re already too fat, continue to get proper nourishment and lots of exercise, fresh air and rest, but continue to count calories and if you can stand it, be sure to get on the scale to check your weight.
If you fell off the weight reduction track, get back on-board

Three times a week hubby and I work on strength training.
When the sun comes up
However, every morning when the sun comes up we go to the pool at the Recreation center!

So after joining the gym we have gotten into the habit of exercise.
Whenever it is time to eat we focus on high fiber and high protein.
Of course being vegetarians it takes extra effort to eat protein and we find it in many good foods including lots of vegetables, soy products, nuts, nut butters and eggs.
Having a garden helps.
Herbs and veggies make life lushTasty homemade pizza full of protein and fibre I cooked for noon lunch yesterday π
This morning after I rose at 5:30 I took things that were in the freezer. I cooked them in my steamer.
My big house cleaning project yesterday was to clean the fridge and freezer.
My freezer has room to breathe now!
Anyway once we get home we like to play outdoor ping pong. That’s our thing we do as a couple. No holds barred! We each play to win!!!
Ping pong rivals!
Time to eat now
Hot veggies and soy brats
Every day instead of asking what do I want for dinner? Ask what do I want from dinner?
Stay active, grow slender and be strong.
Like they say, if I can do it you can do it!
Cheers to your good health!

So today I had my bra on inside out and my pants on backwards!
I was dressing in the dark so hubby might sleep.
I felt this was an analogy for not eating blind.
You need to shed light on your nutrition and your physical condition.
I am sticking to my calorie-tracking, never exceeding 1450 calories a day, and raising my metabolism by weight-lifting and cardio.
My pants are feeling looser and this week I found my good measuring tape.
Good measuring tape
I plan to fill in my measurements chart tonight with the help of my husband. It always helps to have someone measure you. But, you can also do it by yourself.
Stats
Just like knowing your weight and size, (and how to get properly dressed,) knowing your calories and nutrition is important for weight reduction and getting healthier.
Plan your work and work your plan and do it for yourself!
