Summary Jan 16, 2008

Central theme-
What do I eat now?

Thoughts for the week-
Get back to basics:
Re-Focus
Plan
Shop for groceries
Re-Visit your Kick-Start packet

Try Core if you haven't tried Core. Try Flex if you haven't tried Flex. Sometimes we need to try something different to break through a plateau, or just bring some excitement back to the plan.

Just because the Packers are in the playoffs, and everyone is in a festive mood, don't use it as an excuse to go whole-hog. Plan your game-day snacks wisely.

Think of filling your stomach like filling your gas tank. Think of gas overflowing onto the ground, and you paying for it at $3/gal. Doesn't make sense, right. Don't overfill your tanks.

Use smaller plates to help portion control.

Ask yourself, am I hungry or just eating? Keep the 5 comfort zones in mind, and stay away from 1 and 5 (starved and stuffed).

Garmin 305: GPS-Heart Rate Monitor-Sportwatch. If you're a runner, seriously think about it at under $190. These things were over $300 a year ago.
