Jenny,
That’s EXACTLY what I’m talking about! It’s that mindset that changes the face of not only how we “lose weight”, but how we live completely and fully in the moment…truly experiencing life and food together.

Beautiful!

It’s true that taking the time to enjoy your food makes it last, and somehow not stick to the bones. Many years ago, I lost 10 pounds effortlessly just by slowing down and making sure I chewed every bite of food. I found I enjoyed my food more, and could never finish my plate! The world felt full of food!

Trying to get back to that mind set today!

Congrats on your weight loss, Prameela.

The next step is learning how to enjoy life, and yes… ENJOY FOOD, in life giving, life-serving way. And yes, that might even include ice cream!

Awesome Lisa!

This is how I teach nutrition and weight loss. We have to change our thought process; change the linear masculine approach to weight loss… because it doesn’t work!

Stay tuned because there’s WAY more to come!

Hi Audra! I have been on a “diet” since early Feb and have lost 17lbs…it’s been all about fat burn through cardio and eating healthy!

Then came dinner with friends a couple of Saturdays ago at our home. Dessert served: banana splits with 2 sccops of vanilla ice cream, gobs of fresh fruit, chocolate sauce (generous) drizzle, sprinkled with roasted, sliced almonds….heaven, I tell you!

And Audra, to your point, I didn’t gain an ounce that weekend!

I’m going for a walk at least once every day this week. Sometimes alone in the morning, sometimes on a break w/ my co-worker, and sometimes in the evening w/ my husband. Or, maybe all 3! (I also hit the gym and the pool to ight and I’m really loving the pool! (just not every day @ the pool).

Liz,

Set backs are all part of the process. It’s not how many times you get knocked down… it’s how many times you get up. : ) It sounds like you’ve got a plan going forward!

Hi Audra,
Had a bit of a set back. I broke my toe two weeks ago dropping a ten pound weight on it . Yes, I was working out and I dropped it. So, I have backed too far off on workouts since I can obviously still work upper body and ride my bike. Argggg. This is the second broken toe I have had. Last time it was from kickboxing and then running five miles on it the same day. That hurt for a really long time.

Anyway, this weekend, I womaned up and went hiking up in Lake Tahoe since the weather was spectacular. It only hurt for a bit then felt better. It still aches today but no more than it has been.

This week I will go hiking on the trails in Almaden and I will start back on my morning workouts,even if it mostly focuses on upper body.

Have a great week.

Liz
