My Favorite Products That Make My Life Easier
I'm sure you probably know from today to Friday (11th) is Prime Day. If you remember my post about how I can keep this place up and running yearly, you know unfortunately Amazon is really the only way I can make that happen since I'm considered a 'mini' blogger. My sassy thoughts doth not jibe with sponsors, my following is small (which I love actually) so Amazon affiliate links are the only way I can hit that target. I will say that due to tariff pauses expiring at the end of day today, prices could go way up tomorrow (9th) so I would encourage you to buy today even though Prime Day doesn't end until the 11th. I know I will be. I'm going to share products I love and if you check 'em out and buy them or anything on Amazon once you click through, it'll help me keep the place jumpin'. Electric Spin Scrubber I can't begin to tell you the game changer this is especially for someone who isn't a clean freak. The last thing my mind but mor...
Hmmm.. I never thought about setting goals for the month. I suppose my goals would be to plan ahead of time for every get together so I'm not taken aback by food and then binge because I wasn't prepared. I agree though, there is so much rich food that sometimes it's worse to stress about it. Just eat mindfully and hope for good losses.
ReplyDeleteNo goals here, other than to keep moving ahead. Celebrating my own 50-pound weight loss. Trying to focus on increasing my exercise (getting stronger with every workout), keeping up my protein and fiber (big problems for me), and letting the rest fall in place.
ReplyDeleteWait... I guess those would be goals. LOL.

To plan better and get more exercise. Weight wise I'll happy with maintenance or a small loss.
ReplyDeleteI would looooove to be 307 by Christmas. That will be my "50 Pounds Lost" goal. I'm a 311.8 right now, so I only have a few pounds to go. I think I can do it, but I'm not going to beat myself up if I don't. I'll just change the goal to New Year's or something. :)
ReplyDeleteI'd also like to start 30DS.
I think you have changed your lifestyle, and it's now just what you do. There will be no going back to those old decadent habits of eating everything in sight in any quantity. A little taste is certainly okay--we all need to enjoy the holidays! I feel like I have established these new habits firmly now too. I can't imagine going to a restaurant and ordering any damned thing I want, something fried with butter or eating lotsa bread, etc. You know what I mean. Even when I have a bad day (our Thanksgiving was late this year due to the NYC trip--we had my family out on Sunday and I ate a lot), still I didn't just gorge myself until I was uncomfortably full. I stop way before then and never never never eat absolutely everything and all I want of it. The fact that this new lifestyle is so firmly ingrained I believe is what will keep those pounds off forever. At least I hope so....
ReplyDeleteI obsessed my first Christmas on this different course, and I suspect I made the holiday a little less joyful for my friends and family. I know it was less joyful for me. Lesson learned. :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
My main goal is to have a lower bp reading when I go to the doctor on December 20th. I've been working lowering my sodium intake by eating more fruits and vegetables (at every meal) and trying to stay away from more processed foods. My lunches last week for work were fantastic and I felt very much in control...and noticed I didn't have cravings during the day. If the scale is down from my last weigh in at the doc's, even by a few pounds, I'll be happy with that, too.
ReplyDeleteWell, maintaining is better than a gain, so yay for that. :) My goal for the month is to keep my holiday indulgences at the end of the month and not use the holidays as an excuse to eat whatever I want all month long. We'll see how that goes!
ReplyDeleteJust read about your weight-loss journey. WAY TO GO! :D
ReplyDeleteP.S. I'm sure you've heard of Chris Powell... he'd be rooting for you!
