Summary Jul 16, 2008

Central theme-
Is it just about the number?


Thoughts for the week-
What else can we measure by? (besides the scale)

Eating Pattern:
Structured-

• Body gets used to the routine
• However, life doesn't always cooperate

Unstructured-

• Flexibility
• However, may go too long without eating or may lose control.

Count your non-scale victories!

• Are your clothes fitting better?
• Are you getting compliments?
• Are you under control on a daily or weekly basis?
• Do you have more energy throughout the day?

Discover your patterns-

• Write down when you eat
• Determine your physical satisfaction
• Make adjustments!

Try something new this week. New recipe, new exercise, new pattern to shake it up this week!


Closing quote-
"Today I give myself permission to be greater than my fears!" (Amen)
