Week 3: design (menu dinner & daily intake)
Planning is key. If you’re trying to muddle through this weight management gig thinking, “I don’t need no stinkin’ plan!”, you’re grossly mistaken. You need a plan. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be reading about weight loss would ya? I can speak openly and honestly about this topic because I was one of those “no plan needed” thinkers. Reading books about weight loss, popping pills for weight loss, half-assed attempts at on again, off again exercising for weight loss, counting calories with no regard to nutritional value of the calories consumed for weight loss – none of it seemed to be working for me. Or…it would work for about 5 seconds, and then I would give up. You know why? Because nothing I was doing involved a plan for life. Low and behold, I needed a solid plan. Something I could follow forever. Within a week or two of joining Weight Watchers, I was (finally) a woman with a plan. I learned that the “calories in, calories out” concept worked, but I needed more. I wanted it to become part of me. As if it were custom made for me. The process of coming up with such a plan generally happens after being forced into a corner. You see, I easily fall into traps. The most common trap for me in the beginning, you’ll love this one, was the one where you consume all of your calories/Points too early in the day, and they you get to eat air for dinner. [FYI: Air isn’t nearly as yummy as a well planned dinner.] Clearly, something needed to change, and it needed to change FAST. I could talk about planning ‘til the cows come home, so I’ll split the topic into segments to save your brain a bit of trauma. Today, it’s all about daily intake and menu planning - which go hand in hand for me. It’s “the big one” as far as planning goes. If you know what you’re having for the most troublesome meal of your day, the rest of your day falls into place with ease (most days). For me, that “trouble” meal would be dinner. Finding this out about myself took a bit of trial, error, time, and keeping a daily food journal. Dinner is my favorite meal of the day, for so many reasons. Probably too many reasons to list here on my blog. It might stem from childhood. That was really the only meal we ever ate together as a family, and I’m not sure how often that really happened because Dad was away a lot. However, I have fond memories of coming home from school to the smell of dinner cooking. Now that I’m an adult, dinnertime is when I sit and chat with the kids about school, friends, events, and so on. Dinner is the meal I usually try all of the new recipes I’ve run across (I do not like missing out on yumminess!). Dinner is spent catching up with my husband about work, family, plans, etc. Did you feel that? It was like an earthquake of the heart. The emotion just poured and oozed out of me when I told you about my love for dinner. To top it off, I can’t just skip a meal. For one thing, I’d be really hungry. Also, doing so is a metabolism killer. My family is busy. I don’t expect everyone to come up with another hour of their day (aside from dinner) to sit and catch up with me. That’s simply not a possibility. It’s dinner or bust. So you can see how not being able to eat dinner with my family was eating away at me. [ha, ha, ha…a pun!] Once I realized I was missing out on the whole dinner experience, I went back through my daily food journal pages looking for details & clues. It became clear that I was doing just what I mentioned earlier in this post. Eating too much early in the day, and then there was simply no Points/calories left for dinner. Yes, you can eat low cal veggies to fill you up, but night after night of that gets old FAST. Especially if you feel deprived in any way, shape, or form. Plus, there is pretty much nothing worse than watching your family consume all of the yummies you’ve made while you sit back and eat nothing but lettuce and various steamed veggies. It’s simply not fun to relive night after night. In the middle of my fed up-ness, my mind instantly switched into budget mode. This thing with calories is really no different than money, and I was determined to fit dinner into my world no matter what!
What’s your highest bill each month? Ours is the mortgage. I make damn sure to have money set aside to pay it. Money from our paychecks is dedicated to paying that bill loooong before anything else is paid. I did the exact same thing with dinner. I started planning for that meal first. Literally filling out the dinner section of my food journal before breakfast was eaten. The rest of the day sort of fell into place once dinner was planned. The budget was successful. Even if I have to do some creative shifting around with the funds (Points/calories) from time to time, I get the bills paid. I might even have to go work some overtime/work a second job (exercise more/run an extra mile or two) to get the bills paid, but they get paid. Sometimes, I hold off paying the cell phone bill (dessert) if I’m running a little short. But I know I’ll pay that bill (get to eat dessert) very soon, and I won’t be charged a late fee. It’s just on hold for that day (I’ll get to eat it Friday instead). Budgeting!Now that dinner has been planned, it’s time to backtrack to breakfast. I would like to start off with the topic of breakfast by saying….I’m not much of a breakfast fan. I eat it. There was a time when I did not. Like so many others trying to lose weight, I honestly thought if I skipped meals, fat would fly off of my body. Like so many others, I found out it works totally in the opposite direction. I kept getting fatter, unhealthier, and feeling worse about myself with each skipped meal. Again, it’s just not my favorite meal. To this day, I’ll pretty much eat anything for breakfast just to have something in my stomach. I’ve learned over time that an even mix of protein and carbs keeps me fuller longer. I know I need to eat breakfast in order to rev up my metabolism. Breakfast is called breakfast for a reason. Break…fast. Breaking- the-fast. Your body has been in sleep mode, fasting away, for hours & hours. From the last time you took a bite of food in the evening to time you wake up in the morning, you have not fueled your body’s fire. In order to feed the flame (metabolism), you need to put a log on the fire (food). It took a while to get used to eating breakfast. I literally felt barfy the first few mornings doing so. It had been years since I at anything that early in the day. Before I knew what hit me, I found myself needing to eat in the morning. Metabolism: ACTIVATED. Now, I eat several times between waking up and lunch. Fueling the fire! And because I know how much of my caloric budget will be spend on dinner, I have a good idea how many I can spend on breakfast. By trial and error, I discovered I function best with a certain number of Points/calories for breakfast each morning. It works for me. It keeps me full until snack time. The snack, usually a cheese stick or fruit, lasts me until lunch. Clearly, there’s not an emotional attachment to breakfast or snacks. Just make a mental note of that. It’s important because you’re going to see a pattern form before your very eyes in a minute.Dinner & breakfast have been planned. Not it’s time for lunch. For me, lunch is a breeze. Because I know what I’m having for dinner & breakfast, I automatically know there are X amount of Points/calories to spend the rest of the day. I usually eat leftovers. Or soup. Or salad. Or a sandwich. I keep it light. I make sure to add at least one piece of whole fruit and sometimes raw veggies if I need a little more “filler”. Like breakfast, lunch isn’t that big of a deal to me. It’s simply something I have to do. Like an event that’s scheduled into my calendar each day. I’m hungry. I need to eat. It’s almost annoying because I have to take time away from whatever I’m working on to pull something together (AKA: heating something in the microwave). I’m still feeling mentally strong at this point in the day, and can focus on making healthy choices. I am not tempted to overdo it at lunch. Do you see it? There’s not a strong emotional attachment to lunch, either. Just like with breakfast or snacks. Interesting.
There’s structure to the madness of planning around a “trouble spot”. You might have initially thought the trouble spots were breakfast and lunch since I was overdoing it during those meals. However, I knew those meals were not important to me, other than the fact I must eat them for metabolic purposes. I was only overdoing it because the concept of budgeting my intake had not fully formed in my brain. Planning is key. Knowing what you’re eating ahead of time is like a pair of Spanx for your daily meal plan! It holds everything in place. Planning is sometimes more of a process & not something you can instantly jump into (same with putting on Spanx!). For the dinner planning situation, it took a little time to realize what the problem was. Instead of me saying, “I need to start planning breakfast & lunch so I won’t use up all of my Points so early in the day…..”, I narrowed down where the problem was really stemming from. Dinner! It’s was a double sided problem to boot. It’s an emotional issue because of my love for the meal, and also for what the meal stands for in my life. It made me sad when there wasn’t room in my day for it. It’s not healthy to just skip a meal. I had no choice but to face the dinner issue, no matter what, if I wanted to continue this journey.Breakfast, lunch and snacks followed once the dinner monster had been tamed. Don’t run or back away from issues that pop up throughout this journey. Running from problems is a behavior that helped get you to the unhealthy place in life you’re trying so hard to change. So when you see me posting my kooky weekly dinner menu here on the blog from time to time, you know a little more about why I do what I do. The dinner menu is a road map of sorts. I would never get in my car, and just start driving around aimlessly. Once you have a destination or goal, you need a map to get from point A to point B. That’s what planning a dinner menu does for me. It provides a roadmap for my day, my week, and my success with keeping the 80 pounds off. It starts by helping in one isolated area, and then trickles down to help in so many other areas. That dinner menu makes it so I don’t have to think come 5PM. It also helps me figure out the weekly grocery shopping list. If I know what I’m cooking for the week, I know what to buy while shopping. To top it off, I’m not over buying at the store with the, “I might make ____ so I might need _____”, floating through the back of my head. Obviously, sticking with a grocery list & not over buying while shopping, helps with a financial budget. Not to mention, keeping the menu on my fridge keeps my kids and husband from asking me the ever-so-dreaded question……“WHAT ARE WE HAVING FOR DINNER?????”
This post isn’t about planning every breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack, etc. It’s not a micromanagement type of thing. It’s not to teach you how to go about planning a dinner menu. [All that takes is a post it note, a pen, and a good cookbook.] This is about digging deep to figure out where your trouble spot is located, and giving that one problem area a makeover. Narrow down what portion of your day is the hardest to deal with regarding meals. Start planning around that one meal for a few weeks. See if eases the stress of not sticking within your daily intake goal.

January wrap up. .. focusing on positive
How did the first month of the year for you? If you had to pick five "January positively, related to your research for a healthy lifestyle, what will be? Here's mine ....
1) Have metaferthika on a gluten free lifestyle to see if the horrible Stomach cramps/issues you've suffered for years & years, is probably a gluten intolerance. So far, things are looking better! I'm not 100% positive a gluten intolerance is the root of my problem, but feeling better for whatever reason it is good. Obviously, there is something happening between my body & gluten because I had nearly a whole week just to no cramping. Couldn't tell you the last time you had a week this last charge ". is a terrible feeling! After surgery, multiple intestinal scopes, allergy tests, etc., etc., etc., it is nice to see something triggered a change!
2) I ran 67 miles in January! This is the most kilometres that I have done before my last half marathon in October. Go me! My aim was for 80-85, but I'm excited to 67. Have documentation of each education runs on top of running my blog, www.willrunforcoffee.com.
3) started physiotherapy for my bum hip (Torn labrum). I like to help me do has drills the healer. The hip pain is still there (because the tear is still there), but decreased the level of pain that I'm in batches since I started PT. Plus, I crazy powerful due to all the exercises!
4) you will be able to spend more time with my family. More time is active. More time in the kitchen. Combine them all together, and have a happy mixture of less an agonizing context of life (for me, anyway). Less stress means a healthier me. Also means, I have a better change of target weight pointing around me, since I am not emotional eating.
5) I made a point to keep up with the 100 day challenge! It was not nearly as easy as I thought it would be. There were several days I stayed until 30 minutes later than I need to know to get in my 30 minutes of activity for the day. Fortunately, physiotherapy exercises fits the Bill for this challenge. [Read more about the challenge here.]
If you don't find where anything positive throughout the month ...now is the perfect time to do this. May we dwell on the negative life ' til the cows home, but God knows enough with the negative chatter is already on our intelligence. Sometimes, a break from the voices within is a nice change of pace. :)

Weight Watchers PointsPlus Review: "healthy Controls" Make Me Smile
A simple and small motivator
is helping me better eating decisions.
Do you remember when you were a kid and you could "earn" stars in school? For me, the mother lode of earning potential star loomed large on my list of to-achieve: a chart of gold stars for good behavior that could see the entire class.
Now, what, you may be wondering, could that have something to do with my review of Weight Watchers?
When you use the tools for the detection of good health meeting guidelines set out as part of the Weight Watchers program (e.g., eating enough fruits and veggies, getting in your daily dairy products) you can check off the newspapers as you meet them. He ate an Apple? Check. Enjoyed an 8-ounce serving of yogurt? Check.
I don't use healthy controls, when I started to truth. I thought that I would like to know how many healthy choices I make through the day and still be able to meet them without checking them in this way. Well, on a whim, I decided to start their out of control. And you know what? It Works.
When you meet the minimum recommendation for any given control, it was "awarded" a smiley face next to the box. Now, I know that I'm a little long in the tooth to be motivated by the star system takes the gold, but I must admit, I get a thrill when a special smiley face.
Not ashamed to admit that at least one occasion I chose a food over another, in order to be rewarded my emoticon (snacks, I put down a reduced-fat cookies and switched to yogurt, so could realize my two servings of dairy per day.) My "good behavior" rewarded again ... just like the first grade!
The moral of the story? Sometimes the smallest things can help keep you motivated in your weight loss efforts. For me those little boxes and smiley faces are making my new habits a bit easier (and more fun!) to stick to.
Note: Weight Watchers has provided me with free access to the online version of their program and other tools, for me to complete my review of the new program PointsPlus. I am in no way be compensated by Weight Watchers.

Want the insider view to our winning approach to learn how to transform your own health & body? We're here to offer you the scoop because it's our desire to support you fully to achieve authentic, preventative health from the inside, out in your lifetime. So where do we begin? There is a prolific spiritual author named John Maxwell, maybe you've heard of him, maybe you haven't - but he writes of numerous spiritual topics & speaks on how we create TRUE transformation for our lives. Below we adapt his words for our article today because it's a brilliant synopsis of just why & how we work with clients to coach them through mastering their personal health, as there are so many levels to the process.
When we discuss transformation of the physical body, to be successful we cannot deny that mind, body & spirit are woven tightly together in our being & therefore EACH needs to be considered - not just one. Often people when wanting to conquer health or healing goals immediately BEGIN at the physical, they think weight loss, nutrition, exercise...but that is their first step to failure because they're joining the race before they've even laced their shoes!! When we fail to address mind & spirit in the health process we eventually lose the vision of why we're addressing the physical in the first place & sadly fall off course when interest wanes, times get tough, or we lose our way because the how-to's become unclear or appear out of reach. But if we start INSIDE & work OUTWARDS friends, GAME ON!!

Health and Wellness products-how to create your own
Health and wellness products will mean very different things to different people.
Wellness can be defined as 'the pursuit of a healthy, balanced lifestyle.
For the benefit of this article, wellness products are being looked at in the context
of 'over the counter drugs, health supplements and health remedies.
While for some people, wellness products might be viewed as an aid to recovery
from illness, for others it might be a means of further enhancing some
aspect of their current health. The variety of and uses for such products
are as numerous as are the the definitions of wellness products or wellness
programs, depending of course upon who is promoting them at any given time.
Whatever your reasons for pursuing alternative care health or health and wellness
products, a common goal is to achieve optimised health and well-being.
There are powerful media images hailing the benefits and safety of many over the
counter drugs, supplements and health and wellness products, every where you turn
these days. They have equally strong claims of being the one and only miracle cure
or solution for one ailment or another. How accurate are these claims though, and
what are the real costs to you in monetary and health risk terms?
Immediately after reading this article, go take a look and do a quick add-up of the
total cost of all the health and wellness products you currently have in stock. I'm
sure the figure will surprise you just as much as learning about the very real and
harmful side effects which can be caused by some of these drugs or supplements
that are supposed to be contributing to your overall state of wellness.
You may also be surprised to know that many of the 'over the counter drugs you
buy on a regular basis, simply treat the symptoms and not the real health issue.
Needless to say, this approach of focusing on the symptom, side-steps
the crucial requirement of getting to the root cause of your condition or whatever
it is that ails you.
You're most likely to pursue a wellness product either because you are becoming
wary of the adverse effects of chemically produced drugs or because you're keen to
recover from ill-health and improve a specific health condition. In some instances it
might be that you just want to optimise your current state of good health.
While some health and wellness products can be an effective measure toward
improving your health, you should note that long-term use of certain over the counter
drugs and some supplements can cause you more harm than good, with the long-
term implications far outweighing any short-term benefits. You may well find that
you are paying far too high a price on the basis of a mere quick fix promise.
For thousands of years, people in lands far and wide have used natural homemade
remedies to manage their health conditions and wellness needs, without manufactured
health and wellness products, that can be detrimental to health. They have purely relied
upon attaining or maintaining health by plants or by other natural means.
It could be argued that with the emergence of chemical and pharmacological methods,
many forms of this natural means to health and wellness have declined. In fact, even
by todays standards, there are many so-called under-developed countries where
inhabitants' rely on nothing more than homemade health and wellness products,
gained via natural methods of plants or plant-based extracts.
While conventional medicine relies on scientifically backed research to substantiate
effectiveness and safety. In contrast, similar cannot be said about some alternative
medicines or health and wellness products. There is no such requirement but their
promotion as regard effectiveness are deemed sufficient in themselves as support
for therapeutic or wellness claims.
Herbal remedies in general are harmless, however, certain claims being made by
some health and wellness products promoters, (under the banner of being
'natural')) can insinuate their health and fitness products being the
exclusive answer to your health condition or wellness questions, thus putting you
at great risk. Secondly, how open are they being about what's really inside? You
should always consult your physician over any health concerns, as well as discussing
with him/her your intention or choice of alternative means for treatment with any
health and wellness product or remedy.
Multi-billion-dollar industries have long weald their power by way of
lobbying to gain exemption from FDA regulation. This has been exactly the
case, according to the Skeptical Inquirer, who, on commenting on
the 'dietary supplement industry back in 1994, states - "Since then, these
products have flooded the market, subject only to the scruples of their
manufacturers".
The above point is an important one to note in that, while health and wellness
products manufacturers may list ingredients and quantities being used in
specific health and wellness products, there has been no real pressure on them to
do so, or to do so accurately. Furthermore, neither has there been any
watchdog body to ensure they are penalised for this failing.
So, what are the alternatives open to you? Increasingly, more and more people
are turning to do-it-yourself health and wellness homemade herbal remedies.
The distinct difference being that in making your own health and wellness products,
you are in the driving seat. Not only do you have a full awareness of exactly
what the ingredients are and the true quantities, but with the appropriate level of
guidance from a reputable practitioner, you're more conversant with any health
implications, if any.
With the right know-how, you too can draw on the old-fashioned yet effective
sources to greatly improve your health. For instance, using naturally prepared
herbs, vitamins, minerals and nutritional supplements, essential oils and flower
essences to create real healing solutions that deal with particular health
conditions rather than just the symptoms.
It is in the interest of a health and wellness product manufacturers to promote their
products as being the only option open to you. They don't want you to know about
the abundant natural resources and health-giving potent attributes of herbs and home
remedies which have been used effectively for thousands of years. You see, these
remedies cannot be patented because you can make them yourself and at a
fraction of the cost.
Whether your goal is to overcome illness, drugs intolerance, allergies or just to
optimise your already good health, with a little know-how, you can start making
your own health and wellness products and remedies, using nothing more than the
readily available natural resources in your home and garden. Not only will you
save your hard earned cash, you also alleviate the risk of serious or harmful
additives and side effects.
Are you interested in learning more about how you can treat numerous common ailments without the harsh side effects, using nothing but natural herbs, vitamins
and nutrients you prepare yourself at home? For instance, did you know that
placing yogurt on your face help to bring water from the deeper layers
of your skin to the surface, moisturizing your skin for the rest of the day and hiding
wrinkles?
Here are just a few more of the many quick and effective remedies you can learn
to make:
1. Natural laxatives
2. Beauty recipes
3. Skin care and cleansing preparations such as acne treatment
3. Herbal shampoos as well as how to treat hair loss
5. Dermatitis
6. Menstrual Pain and PMS Symptoms

Wrote "adventurer" post new blog Lupus: Lupus treatment "ritoxan" insurance company rejected
Crossroads in brisirtivikishn insurance ...
After pumping two five years ago as part of phase III clinical trial in lupus, Lupus in continuing my remission. Instead of having to pump more every four to six months as expected, the first pair of enough to last for years. Improve my and my forgiveness was exceeded in clinical trials. Now my Lupus act again, we need to find new funding source ritoxan.
The first leg? Insurance companies. Pulmonary approval followed my insurance company ritoxan pump of my lupus, without success. For several weeks, health insurance companies will issue of inform my lung "was" only written rejection message.
Then, after many phone calls and conversations with the Director of medical insurance company, the company finally sent a message saying "no", but denied that the message is either a formal refusal nor approval. After further consideration of additional based on medical necessity, the insurance company "deny" message again this week.
My insurance company stated strongly that they do not cover payments ritoxan lupus, because they are considered experimental or survey of lupus, and that sufficient evidence to substantiate these criteria:
Show how scientific ritoxan ritoxan lobosbrovi ritoxan lobosbrovi effects to improve public health over standard Lupus midikationsobort ritoxan effectiveness outside survey settings
Furthermore, my insurance company to cover drug policy, based on the survey "medical coverage guidelines" for the company.
Here's bondogli catches and bureaucracy. Says the insurer does not appeal to the initial payments unless I get. Then after we submit a claim, they will reject the formally coverage. After they deny coverage, you can then appeal to their decision, but not to pronounce a message was rejected. Refusal to issue a denial of procedural block pre-treatment claim on our ability to appeal.
"Human beings are not ultimately responsible."
And frustrated by bureaucratic barriers, we continue to pray for approving medications that will get my Lupus under control. Blakinil webrdnizolon no longer dominates the seriousness of my lupus, it continues to escalate. We hesitate to return to transplant and cancer therapies, having begun my Lupus attack the central nervous system and liver.
We are still believes that an appropriate treatment will be available, even if that means going down a path differently from ritoxan. Perhaps that appeal ultimately taking longer than FDA approval pending from binlista. This new biological drugs are about to FDA approval of lupus, possibly as soon as possible in March 2011. Binlista may be available to help me and other Lupus patients who have exhausted most of those other therapeutic options soon.
Somehow, the words Lupus foremost experts seem appropriate for my situation:
"Remember that human beings are not ultimately in charge. As we have to fight with our daily lives, always ask the Supreme authority for help, too. Medicine won't do everything. But one day there will be a cure for lupus. "
