So I have had some new updates since my last blog update. First I went to the gym to get my free fit test etc. They do a whole bdy composition etc. It was kinda discouraging to be told that the % of my body that was pure fat ... was 39% ...the number is just sticking with me ... it disgusts me. Alas at least I can say I'm doing something about it. On the plus side she said I had a high percentage of lean fat which they say is a good thing I think? She basically told me with this number it means based on my body and the way my bone structure is etc. I'll never be below 140 ... I thought this was interesting. The trainer I met with was awesome too. She wasn't a skinny blond that looks like she could be a supermodel. She was built and an average size and she had lost over 100 pounds and has kept it off for 3 years. It was just nice to meet somebody that had struggled with weight loss before.
Cathy being the motivational lady that she is passed on this great quote from the newest eat clean book. I'm not going to lie and say I haven't had a treat .. but I IMMEDIATELY thought of the quote at the bottom of this entry today when I was tempted by the treats that are everywhere at school and I didn't have one. I foundit really interesting that if you have a treat every day then they are no longer treats they are just part of your diet .. it's so true .. and something I don't think we realize.
Treats are fine, as long as they are just that - treats. if you have a small ice cream, a glass of wine or a little bit of dark chocolate ONCE A WEEK as a treat while following cooler 2 plan the rest of the time along with doing regular exercise, you should have no problem staying within a couple of pounds of your ideal weight. If you start having one of htese treats EVERY DAY, then they are no longer treats but instead part of your everyday diet."
"When tempted by treats, visualize yourself reaching your goals and then decide if having the treat is worth it."

I too know the tempation of staff room treats and for many many years gave into them, in fact, went into the staff room several times a day when I knew there were treat day or a pizza and cookie day when I knew there would be left overs. But I think when I became mindful of my eating, and started to loose weight, I would think, ¨We are the educators and must be leaders WHY do we bring some unclean food into our school.¨ This would get me through. Right or wrong, maybe a little self righteous, but I needed it desparately because of the bad habits I had developed with all the unclean food that I would wolf down during the school day. It helped me and of course carried my clean food in my cooler.
