Bad day for weight loss....

Sun, 30 Oct 2011 23:55:19 -0400

I’m so ashamed to say, I ate HORRIBLE today! I’ve been dealing with this plateau, and just can’t break under 200 lbs. It got to me. I’ve always been the emotional eater…. and I definitely ate my feelings today. I still worked out, so I won’t be too hard on myself. But dang.. I just feel so disappointed. I’ve got to get back on track tomorrow! No excuses!

“DON’T GIVE UP.
You should start seeing improvements to your body within four weeks if you stick to exercise and proper nutrition. Do not give up on yourself, since our bodies are always a work in progress and no one is perfect. It takes time and commitment to change your body and lifestyle.”

holistichands:

One of the wonderful things about Eastern style massages is that it is not necessary to disrobe. Not to say that Eastern styles are superior to Western styles, only trying to debunk the myth that massage is a sensual luxury. Massage is not meant to be sexual unless you want it to be and even then professional massage therapist will not oblige.

So I sort of fell off the wagon. This past week was my birthday and my parents came to visit me at college, so I kind of stopped thinking about what I was putting into my body. I didn’t do anything horrible, but I still feel guilty. Tomorrow I’ve decided that I’m finally ordering that scale from…

Got a craving for sweets? Try eating a few dates for a sweet treat that will be sure to satisfy your craving to the nines. You’ll get to enjoy a sweet, chewy snack, but you’ll also load up on fiber, vitamin B6, magnesium, and potassium—all of which can increase energy and balance sodium levels.

I am writing a small group lesson plan on nutrition/the food pyramid for preschoolers (ages 4-5). Here are my ideas:

1. Draw a food pyramid on a large poster board. Help the children sort plastic food onto the pyramid.

2. Bring in grocery store flyers and have them cut pictures of food out. Sort the food into healthy food and junk food.

Which do you think would be most meaningful? Any other ideas?
