…clearing clutter from your mind, body and space
Most people know what they need to change so they can manage their weight and many have the best of intentions to reach a healthy weight. So is it a lack of motivation? A lack of education. A lack of accountabilty?
Many of us start the journey motiviated, but we seem to soon lose it. Here are some tools to keep motivation strong.
Feelings are feelings. They are not wrong or right. In our weight management journey, we must learn ways other than eating to manage them. If you are are an emotional eater, try these techniques:
Make sure you have what you need in your toolkit ahead of time to ensure you do not eat your feelings but manage them. Here’s to your health!
If you have been trying to remove body clutter by focusing on weight management, it can sometime feel like an uphill journey.
Know that it is exactly that…a journey. Anyone can lose weight but keeping it off is what is sometimes challenging. Whether focusing on weight loss or maintenance, keep these things in mind:
When you feel like you have had a setback or have reached a plateau, remember you have a choice. Take a deep breath, regroup, reframe and refocus. You’ve got this!
Since this is National Nutrition Month® I wanted to share a post about healthy weight and our beliefs from a while back. What is true for you and your healthy weight?
Think about your beliefs about being at a healthy weight. Are they still true for you? Do you struggle with achieving a healthy weight? What are your mental messages about your weight and eating healthy?
It does take an attitude adjustment and a daily commitment to eat healthy…to nourish your body to support the life of your dreams. If you continue to believe that achieving weight loss is hard work, it will be that way for you. But if you choose to become your own priority and choose to eat healthier, lose weight, if needed, and be physically active you will be able to be a healthier you.
Become your own priority. If you interested in learning how life coaching can assist you in reaching your goals, contact me to learn more.
The holidays are time of year for gathering family and friends to celebrate. But it is no celebration if you are stuck in the kitchen and everyone else is in another room socializing. I would like to share an easy and elegant recipe that can be used for holiday entertaining and that can keep you out of the kitchen and in the room with the rest of the party. Enjoy!

1 can (10-3/4 oz.) condensed beef mushroom soup
1 can (10-3/4 oz.) condensed creamy onion soup
1 cup sliced fresh mushroom
1 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup burgundy or other red wine
Trim excess fat from meat. Cut meat into 1-inch pieces. Place in slow cooker with mushrooms and onions. Mix soups with wine. Pour over meat. Cover and cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 9 hours or until tender. Serves 6 -8. Serving Suggestion: noodles and dilled baby carrots.
Note: I use reduced fat ingredients whenever possible. You can also save time by using pre-cut stewing meat and pre-sliced mushrooms.
