weight loss and leftovers

Good Black Friday morning...For those of you lining up outside some store on this very chilly morning, I have one word for you: INTERNET....shop the internet for your great deals!!!. Oops..this is a weight control blog, not a shopping advice column so lets get back to business...

Leftovers....lots of them in the refrigerator and on the kitchen counter. Try very hard NOT to get into the "picking" mode where you start taking small amounts of the remaining food sources from yesterday's feast. What you may perceive as small, inconsequential amounts of that apple pie, spoonful of left over stuffing or anything else high-caloric that you may have saved, will , in fact be detrimental to you.

We certainly have learned well not to "waste" food, so I am not suggesting that any food be thrown out. Rather, perhaps the high-caloric food sources can be given away to people with no weight controi issues. Keep the protein sources and perhaps discard the high-caloric carbs.

Have a great day shopping, resting, or working (sorry staff of Serotonin-Plus, we HAD to open...just call me Scrooge!)

Thanksgiving "Leftovers"

Oops...as Suzanne pointed out....next Friday is December 5th and that is most most definitely the day of our anniversary party...5pm till ??? Karioke....hear the staff sing!!! (and we get to hear YOU sing!!)

Lots of food left over from yesterday's feast/ Take stock of what you wrapped up and put in the fridge...if it is protein, great job and enjoy the remains of that turkey, ham, etc. If you put away the remnants of that apple pie, sweet potato casserole, etc., be very careful NOT to start snacking on these. Tendency is to take small little spoonfuls, thinking we cannot possibly damage our weight loss goals by just taking a little. But you and I know, that "little" turns into a lot.

As my son Brian aptly pointed out to me last night, lots of these blog subjects are being repeated, but I do think it is important to keep hammering home certain points. The next few weeks can be treacherous to your weight loss efforts...it would behoove you to not dig into the leftover high-carb foods.

Have a great time shopping!!!!
