weekend 7/11 & 7/12

Saturday: 7/11
Well folks, I told you the good, the bad and the ugly. Since this is not a diet. There is NO cheating, nor failure... I stand accountable that much of my eating over the weekend is less than conscious. That is not to say that I don't KNOW what I am eating. It is to say that in my state of mind and body, I am grazing instead of consciously fueling my body. 7/11, Sat. I ate 2 fueling meals. Last evening I drank a beer. (conscious choice). I ate all the fruit in the house. (remember what I said about if your kitchen is LIVEitized even a weekend binge takes on a whole new quality of eating) I made popcorn twice. I killed a whole avacado sliced on crackers. (reg. saltines - the last in the house) Also, was on the computer, watching movies and doing art most of the day. Little to no movement.

Sunday: 7/12
Deep Breath, some meditation, refocusing and back on track this morning!!!! Remember this is about every meal, one at a time, every choice. It is LIVEit not DIEit. I have given myself permission to partake of a few cravings today. I will describe later.

tip of the day:
Throw away your scale or better yet send it to me. I do art with them. There are professionals in the weight and fitness industry that will tell you "the more you weigh, the more you loose." LIVEit is NOT about weight though loosing is a huge benefit of consciously fueling your body, etc. Truly, as a nation, we have made the number on the scale the primary and only focus. That does NOT WORK! People like me that have struggled with the weight loss battle their entire lives know that if the scale is your measurement of success 1) you celebrate by going off the DIEit 2) you comfort yourself by going off the DIEit 3) you deceive yourself and others about the # on the scale... Throw away your scale! Make this about how you feel! I promise if you take the measurement by scale or tape out of the equation and focus on Consciously fueling your body one conscious choice at a time you'll be thrilled with the results of all your long term goals about health, fitness and attractiveness. You'll be shock and awed at your next physical. You'll know how much better you feel long before that.
