Keepin’ It Real by PractiKAL - Seg.5

Segment: 5

How is it going?

There is a difference between eating GOOD and eating BAD.  You can=t always fill up on bad stuff day in and day out and expect results - weight going DOWN not UP.  My theory is when you do good for so long, you deserve a little bad.  Meaning treat yourself one day out of a week (still in moderation).

In my previous segment(s) I mentioned telling you about #OperationPeelTheCoat. - I am finally going to tell you. 

When I made the commitment to lose weight (my New Year=s Resolution) many years ago,  I followed my own advise  to you in Seg. 1 and Seg. 2.  I took the challenge.  I wanted to control my destiny.

So I did what I asked you to do - I Envisioned how I would look six months from the time I started; I Envisioned the reactions I would get from people once I lost weight; I Envisioned people asking about my secrets of my success. 

Five months after I started - I went from a size 16 to a size 8.  Yes I did.  I stuck with it.

What made it even sweeter for me was the fact that all winter long my weight was hidden under my coat.  But when the warm weather really settled in, when it was time for us toAPeel Off Our  Coats@ I was a size 8.  When my train buddies, etc. saw me, they were amazed at the new me.  I got responses like AOMG you lost weight@; AYou are so skinny@; ALook at you - what did you do?@; and some people even asked Aare you sick@. 

Remember, during the winter, the only people who see really see you without a winter coat on are the people you live with or people work with.  So for me, when I walked in a place that I frequented during the winter with my coat on and when back with no coat, people bombarded me with questions about my weight loss success.

Do you know how that made me feel?  ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!  That is why I call it #OperationPeelTheCoat.

If I pack on a few pounds during the winter, I automatically know what I have to do before I peel my coat off the following year.  I think this is a clever way to stay on top of your game.  So during #OperationPeelTheCoat 2014 - I started challenging myself again (even though I do not need to), but I always want to prove to myself that I control my destiny.  Actually I am a size 6 now.

So for you, all you have to do is be determined as I was and handle your business.

In the next segment, I will tell you about my moderate exercise routine for those of you who claim not to have time.  You know that is a bunch of BS don=t you.  Another excuse !

Until then - - keep it real

Keepin’ It Real by PractiKAL - Seg.4

Segment: 4  

STAY TUNED TO YOUR PROGRESS

Are you staying motivated?  Are you keeping the promise you made to yourself? 

I hope you have made better choices as to what you eat.

I hope you have been drinking more water - at least 8 ounces every couple of hours.

I hope you have been eating fruit as a snack instead of that Kit Kat bar.

I hope you tell yourself that you EAT TO LIVE and not LIVE TO EAT and definitely not LOVE TO EAT because that is why you are not at our idea weight. I=m Just Keepin= It Real.

Let me ask you a few questions:

Q:         Do you know what it feels like to be hungry?

A:         Uh, not really because I=m always eating something.

Q:         Do you know what it feels like to be full (stuffed)?

A:         Yep - When I have to unfasten my pants and sit back with the remote and then eventually

 doze off to La La Land.

Q:         Do you know what it feels like when you are satisfied?

A:         Nope, I guess not because when I eat - I always say ABoy, I shouldn=t have eaten that

 much - now I feel miserable".  (This is the norm for a lot of folks).

If any of the above describes you - don=t be ashamed - get serious and do something about it.  REPEAT these phrases : I eat to live and not  LIVE TO EAT.  I=m Just Keepin= It Real for you.

Here are a few tips: 

Try using mustard instead of mayo on sandwiches;

Wheat not white bread;

Do not add salt to food once on your plate;

If you must have some chips, eat only a few to satisfy your taste-bud;

Protein shake with fruit as meal replacement

I told you about the oatmeal

NOTE:   Just say all of the sudden you had a taste for some BBQ chips.  It is better to eat SOME rather than none.  You don=t want to start feeling deprived.  If you do, you will over-indulge and quit.  So go ahead, satisfy your taste-bud this time.  Actually this is exactly what happened to me - I ate a few chips and felt guilty afterwards.  I hope you feel the same way. Hopefully you satisfied your craving and felt bad doing it.  GOOD because you are becoming committed to your promise to yourself.

Stay motivated and do not let any sabotage your goals.  Keep on envisioning the New Smaller, Better You.  I still can=t wait to tell you about #OperationPeelTheCoat.
