Quotes for the up coming holidays:

Here are some quotes you can use to inspire you as you work through the holidays.

Best Holiday Exercise: Pushing away from the table.

Remember~it's a HOLI...DAY not a HOLI...WEEK!

Don't stuff your face, Face your stuff!

Make sure you serve yourself islands, not continents.

Those invisible extras multiply and divide all over your body.

Whether I count it or not.... it counts

The first two bites of what you love.. is what you love!

"Prior planning prevents pudgy people"

If you want a little behind, you must leave a little behind.

He who stuffeth puffeth.

May you eat from the horn of plenty without blowing it.

"Don't be a turkey! Remember what you want the most and make it happen."

If you gobble, gobble, gobble, you will wobble, wobble, wobble.

Nothing tastes as good as thin feels.

The minutes spent at the dinner table won’t get you fat . . its the SECONDS!

A moment on the lips, forever on the hips.

Years from now we probably won’t even remember what we ate for Thanksgiving but what we will remember is the memories made with friends and family.

Remember for the holidays, it’s not what’s in your stomach that counts, it’s what’s in your heart.

Don’t exchange what you want most for what you want at the moment.

Mindful Eating

Here is an exercise in mindful eating I found on NPR. It is a good exercise for you to try and it could help you slow down your eating which will translate to satisfaction sooner which means less calories consumed! If you're curious to know what mindful eating looks like in practice, here's one exercise, excerpted from a review written by Stephanie Vangsness of Brigham and Women's Hospital. She writes: "Do this exercise with a friend. You will need one small slice of an apple for each person. One person reads the instructions listed below while the other person completes the exercise. 1.Take one bite of an apple slice and then close your eyes. Do not begin chewing yet. 2.Try not to pay attention to the ideas running through your mind, just focus on the apple. Notice anything that comes to mind about taste, texture, temperature and sensation going on in your mouth. 3.Begin chewing now. Chew slowly, just noticing what it feels like. It's normal that your mind will w...

Buy the cheap stinky onions!

Oddly enough the hot stinky cheap onions have more cancer fighting vitamins than those really sweet ones! Here is a good way to cook them to make them sweet and delicious! In fact, when cooked they are always sweeter. The sweet varieties are best eaten raw because when cooked they are less sweet. Peel and core (with your apple corer) a large onion - don't poke the corer all the way through. Place the onion on a sheet of foil. Put a bullion cube in the core, top with a 1/2 teaspoon of a butter substitute, sprinkle with thyme and pepper. Pour a teaspoon of dry sherry over all and grill for 45 minutes or until completely soft. Open and enjoy - it will taste like sweet French Onion Soup! Make one for each person because you won't want to share!

STOP! Don't scroll on - Keep reading this recipe. I know it just sounds like it has to be no good, but this is actually and easy way to make a batch of beans that are really good - and of course, good for you. My friend and WW member Brother Joe (http://josephbasil.blogspot.com/ swears by this dish so I had to try it out. I reduced the point by cutting the fat by more than 65% but retained the original flavor. Make yourself a batch and eat them for lunch this week! Best of all, this is one cheap dish to make! 1 pound dried kidney, navy or other bean 1/3 cup chopped onion (one small) 1 Tablespoon butter 1 Tablespoon olive oil 3 whole cloves 1 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon black pepper 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme 1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional) 6 oz dry red wine Parsley to garnish Place beans in a heavy saucepan (3 - 4 qt) and cover with water.
