While I was running today I heard someone clapping, it was just my thoughts cheering me on.
OK, OK, so this isn’t the original quote. The original quote said thighs not thoughts but because my reading skills are awesome I read it thoughts the first time and really liked it. :)
What are your thoughts saying to you?
This is a topic I have wanted to write about for a while and have talked about before. There are always those people around or maybe our own self doubt that keep saying
"Oh, don't go workout today it is too windy, late, hard, busy, tired. ....
Fill in with you own excuse".
or
"Oh just eat some cake and ice cream, you worked hard for it."
or
"You can't lose weight you never have been able to, it's in your genes."
or
"You can't lose any more weight. You never have been able to get past this number"
To those thoughts I say
STOP IT!!!!
I am hoping you have some voices in your head or people around encouraging you instead....
"I'll take the kids, go workout. I know it is important to you"
or
"I cooked the chicken on the grill instead of deep frying it today"
or
"You walk a little taller when you workout"
or
"Man I feel great when I eat healthy"
or
"I went for a walk!!!"
or
"Man I feel great when I eat healthy"
or
"I went for a walk!!!"
or
"YOU CAN DO IT. KEEP GOING!!!"
Now, I am one of those people that talks to myself and I am ok with it, :) When im running or riding up a big hill I say "I can do this" when I'm looing at the thing of Oreos I say "No, find something healthy for snack!" I want you to give it a try. Say 3 nice, encouraging, uplifting things to yourself today. Remember the list of things we like about ourselves we made. Now might be the time to get it out and look at it if you need to. Please do not let self doubt or negativity keep you down. You CAN do this if you put the effort out. Sometimes there are rough parts and stall parts and not enough time parts but don't let that stop you. Take every good effort and give yourself the praise you deserve, then push through keeping your goal in mind. Tell yourself you can do it and believe it!
I'm glad I'm not the only one that talks to myself. :)
ReplyDeleteI've tried to post this all week but keep getting interrupted. It's really your recipe, I just changed it a little.
Chicken Enchiladas
1 dozen flour tortillas
1 26oz can cream of chicken soup
1 4oz can green chiles
1 16oz LIGHT sour cream
3 boneless, skinless chicken breast
2 cups grated cheddar cheese
Preheat oven 350. Boil chicken and shred. Mix in soup,chiles, and sour cream. With non-stick cooking spray, spray a 9x13 pan(or spread a small amount of chicken mixture in the bottom of pan).
Put 2 Tbsp. chicken mix in a tortilla, roll, and place in pan. Repeat until all tortillas are used.Pour remaining sauce over rolled tortillas and sprinkle with cheese.
Cover with foil. Bake for 35 min. Uncover and bake 15 min.
calories 270 per enchilada.
If you completely omit cheese it's 200 calories.
*Time saving idea- make two batches and freeze one(without baking). Pull it out in the morning(or night before) you want to use it to let thaw in the fridge.
I'm glad youa re a calorie counter because it makes it alot easier for me :)Thanks and keep it up
