Weight loss for life...

So I thought I'd tell you about the "life change" I'm on and how I'm doing it.  There is a book called "Body for Life" by Bill Phillips.  He use to be a weight lifter.  He also has a cookbook called "Eating for Life."  Both books are good!  In it Bill says you eat his way for 6 days and on the 7th day you eat anything you want, as much as you want.  He also says you should do cardio one day and weights the next.  Once a upon a time, about 5 years ago, I was following this plan faithfully and was loosing.  Then for some stupid reason I quit and gained it all back plus...

Bill says to eat 6 times a time, not big meals, they are all portioned out.  Like a potato shouldn't be any bigger then the size of your fist and a piece of meat not any bigger then the size of your palm.  He says to drink plenty of water too.  The mind set for the 7th day eating is to kind of fool your body into thinking you aren't dieting (which you aren't its a life change) and to also help you in the fact that you can still eat what you want and don't think you are being deprived anything.  JUST WATCH IT THOUGH, my husband and I did exactly what we wanted on that 7th day.  I don't know about him but I managed to gain back whatever weight I lost in one day that took me 4 weeks to lose!! Enough of that nonsense!  Since my mind is such a great trickster, I am NOT eating any junk on my 7th day to start because I don't want that lump in my throat or the chest thingy or whatever else I can conjure up subconsciously!!

So today for breakfast I had a bowl of shredded wheat, a banana and that's it.  No idea what to have for lunch. 

Later....
