Summary Jul 2, 2008

Central theme-
Chillin' about grillin'


Thoughts for the week-
Grilling can be a good thing because it gets the fat out of meats. However, you still need to use the 8 Healthy Habits and your regular routine when it comes times to grill-n-chill.

Continue to grocery shop on a regular basis to stock up on your 'norms'.
Plan meals.
Monitor yourself.
Track your points.

Someone in the meeting made a great statement: "Take food off the menu when emotions strike". That is, don't automatically reach for food when emotions strike. Re-frame, and do something else!

Know when you're making an excuse
Know how you tick: socially, feeling of accomplishment, enjoy/escape. What works for you?

Grilling tip: Grilled doesn't mean burnt! It took me years to figure this out. Know your grill, use a timer, move the meat around, practice, experiment, enjoy.


Closing quote-
"If you fail to plan, you plan to fail." (so true)
