Two Things For Those Who Are Not Losing Weight…

11-31pm

Since Tim Noakes was in the studio on Tuesday, as he left, we had a short chat in the car park and he suggested two things for those of us who have not lost weight eating LCHF. The one was to get appetite control and the second was to count calories.  Appetite control is eating when you are hungry and stopping when you are full.  It’s getting that connection functioning well. I have to admit this is getting back to the basics of what dietician Maya said when she was on CCFm some years ago. Even though I have been eating LCHF, I have the ability to snack-a-stack on high fat stuff, like almonds and feta cheese and avocado, even when I am full. In doing so, I am consuming a whole lot more calories than I need. Sooo, I immediately put myself back onto www.myfitnesspal.com and will be tallying up how  many calories I’m taking in. Yesterday and today, I have been very mindful of every mouthful. And, when I want to snack, I stop first to find out if I am actually hungry, or cold, or bored, or thirsty. If I’m hungry, instead of snacking endless almonds, I dish up something to satisfy me. So no more walking past the dangerous almond packet and constantly taking out handfuls of them. This morning, I was down a kilo, but I don’t have high expectations on weight loss! We’ll wait and see. Watch this space!

I’ve also got it up on this site under “All Things LCHF”.

The rainy weather in Cape Town may have put a bit of a damper on the activities planned for Mandela Day today, but there’s always tomorrow! The idea of setting aside ONE day to promote social upliftment would be very sad indeed, if it didn’t lead to the possibility of doing it all year round. After all, the needs don’t lessen on the other 364 days. At CCFm there was plenty of activity as a group of the elderly came for tea.  We have two German students at the station for a few months and they got the window display up…

Here’s lovely Elana, Look for it in the window as you drive past CCFm, on the Main Rd. Muizenberg…

Back on the home front, there has been some more ‘decluttering’. This was the dreadful mess beneath the mezzanine level…

And now…

It’s so cathartic cleaning out! Meantime, the cat has found a new spot to hang out…on the shelf under the basins in my bathroom!

Cold, rainy weather does not make it easy to head off out to gym, but that’s what I’ve got to do!

1 Corinthians 9:27 But I discipline my body and keep it under control, lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified.

Good point!

God bless you!

In His Grip,
