Tricks and Treats

Happy Halloween

Here are some simple ideas to make your journey more successful.


When you are doing sets (3 sets of 15 for example) position yourself in the room with something as a middle point.  Start just left of the point for the first set then move to the middle and then to the right.  It helps you to know what set you are on and also tricks your mind and makes the 45 push-ups or whatever seem not so daunting.

Use fiber to trick your brain into thinking it has eaten more than it really has and for a treat try South Beach diet chocolate chunk cookies.

When you are feeling that emotional need to have something.  Stop and make a little different choice.  If you need ice cream try frozen yogurt.   If you need a candy bar grab a snack size.  Try to fulfill the need for a treat creatively.

Count downward when doing your reps to trick yourself into thinking you are changing things up.

For a movie treat try a small package of Jelly Belly's.  It goes a long way.

Here is a trick for make logging a little quicker in  MFP , type in only key words instead of the whole thing.  

Remember, treats are not evil and by making them so increases the desire for them.

Keep on  keeping on...
