How Debt Reduction And Weight Loss Differ And How They Are Similar

Over at No Credit Needed, I’ve been writing about debt reduction for more than three years.  I’ve been debt free for more than two.  Here at No. Calories Needed, I’ve been writing about (attempted) weight loss, for a long time, but I’ve really struggled to make much progress.  Why?  What is the difference between debt [...]

Reducing the Clutter of Life

If there is one thing I have learned this year it is that you only have so much time in a day to accomplish all of the things you need to get done. Think of a 24 hour period as a box, and the daily tasks blocks that you are putting into the box. [...]

Beating the Sugar Addiction - My Journey

Funny how things suddenly become clear to you, as though a fog has lifted.
I’ve been in a fog of sorts for quite some time, a sugar fog.  Only recently has this dense, gray world begun to disappear.
I’ve finally come to a place where I feel confident I can stand up to and prevail against the [...]

Word Power

Funny how powerful changing one word can impact your mindset.
For example, when it comes to eating healthy and/or foregoing the junk, instead of saying, “I have to avoid junk food and eat more veggies,” replace that “have” with a “get,” and the sentence has an entirely new meaning and mindset.
Or maybe you view exercise as [...]

Positive Affirmations

I’m a singer.
I think I can safely say that because I love to sing, I get asked to sing, and I even get paid to sing.
Now, as to whether or not I am an outstanding singer is a matter of opinion. I believe I have ways to go before (or if) that can happen!

Deep in the Heart of Texas

I’m back from the great state of Texas; my visit with family was long overdo and enjoyable.
One of my goals during the vacation was to maintain an exercise schedule, and honestly that was a challenge! I focused more on isometric/strength training exercises in the privacy of the guest bedroom (with the door closed, mind you).
Also, this born [...]

I Can Cross THIS Off My List!

I was supposed to follow up my last post with a description of my next step for curbing the sugar addiction. However, I can’t pass up not telling you about my thrill-seeking experience.
Yesterday, I did something I can cross off the proverbial list, something I never thought I’d actually do. I went skydiving!

Waiting For The New Baby And Coasting

I’m still using the ‘4 Golden Rules’ - but I’m avoiding the scales.  Life is so busy right now, waiting for baby number three to be born, and I don’t need the added stress of worrying about my weight loss.  I like being in control, but I know that I’m eating more than I should, [...]

A Great Day Outside At The Easter Egg Hunt

We are home from today’s Easter Egg Hunt.  We had a great day.  Several of my family members were able to come down, including my little sister and her husband, who ran a 10K this morning!  Wow.  That’s 6.2 miles.
I also did a bit of running - .5 miles to be exact.

A Quick Note - No Alcohol For Me, Please

This is pretty funny -
My sister just called me and asked me about my recent alcohol consumption.
Since I don’t drink, I had no idea what she was talking about.
She had been reading my site and was confused to see ‘Alcohol’ listed in my latest update.
After assuring her that I haven’t started to hit the bottle, [...]

Back From Atlanta - Back On Plan

I have been away for a few days.  I went to Atlanta, with my family, for a short mini-vacation.  I will confess, I ate a lot more than I should have, but I haven’t ‘regained’ any weight.  Frankly, I’m glad to be back home and back in my routine.  I missed my workouts and my [...]

Considering A Fast

I feel very sluggish and I’ve been researching “fasting”.  I think I might go a day without solid food and see how things go.  I’m not going to starve myself, but I want some time to spend in prayer - thinking about the next few months and focusing on losing weight.  I’ve got a buddy [...]

A Great Weekend… Fast Food Stinks

My family and I were in Atlanta this weekend for my daughter’s gymnastics competition.  (She won all-around for her age and level!)  I did really well with my eating - I was ‘forced’ to eat fast food just once - and we had a great time.  I’ve found that I do best when I plan [...]

I Had A Great Monday! No Dieting For Me!

I don’t usually look forward to Mondays. Why? Because, for most of my adult life, “Monday” meant starting a new diet. But, I’m not “dieting”. I learning to plan for each meal, eat the right amounts of food, and actually look to food as “fuel”. So, I’ve made a few [...]

Time To Get Serious

Until now, losing weight has been about feeling better.  But, after a recent visit to my doctor, losing weight has become mandatory.  So, instead of treating my weight loss like a ’side-project’, I’m going to have to treat it like the “most important thing in my life”.  Why?  Well, the doc says that my sleep [...]
