I’ve heard that 80 percent of weight loss is diet. Boo. I’m the type who would gladly exercise three hours a day if I could eat all the chips and salsa I want!

Any suggestions on how to handle a healthier diet when your family (esp. your hubby) won’t cooperate???? I keep trying to keep the junk out, and he keeps bringing in the chips… ugh.

I had a personal trainer once that used to say “You can out-eat any workout program.” I think there are times when people focus on their exercise program and take the focus off of their diet. They think about “rewarding themselves” for a great workout with ice cream (or whatever).

Gotta watch out for that.

Today –

17 minutes on spinner while watching SEO video.
Then about an hour fast walk with mom. (Stopped when we found ANOTHER stray dog who was following us on our walk to call his owner and reunite them — seriously. Feeling like the Pied Piper for dogs.)

Will do Angie’s workout tomorrow and get all three of her workouts in again this week. 🙂

I found my secret to weight loss a few months ago. I posted it on my blog http://www.lowerbunk.com It is titled “I’m overweight, I put on 1.5 pounds and I’m excited.” Just heard you on Pat Flynn’s podcast. I can relate to what you said. I now have 52 domains but just about to narrow it down to what I am going after. Thanks, gg

In reply to The Mom.

Funny that we just discussed this last night and then today I went into my drafts and this video was waiting to be posted.

Methinks it’s a sign that I need to load up my freezer with good stuff – pronto. 🙂

Have a nice walk, mom. Maybe come over later for another one?

Yes! My diet is sabotaging my workouts.

You know I LOVE me some salty foods! (apple didn’t fall too far from that tree…)

My trick (when I try hard to eat well) is to sort of trick my salt craving with lots and lots of GOOD food… like carb loading on good carbs. I’ll eat a whole bag of spinach or broccoli. Or I’ll make a huge batch of black bean soup or fried cabbage and fish. I find if I eat until I’m stuffed with good food, my cravings for salty snacks eases.

Thanks Nicole for bringing this important question up for us Computer Butts.

Exercise today? I think I’m going to walk. It’s nice out and I’d better get off my Computer Butt and enjoy it!

Love ya!

p.s. Freezer cooking? Let me know when! 😀
