Debbie's Weekly "Food for Thought" 09/18/23 - "Time to Reflect and Refresh"

Good morning everyone

I hope you are enjoying the Fall like weather that we have right now, yes it's a bit grey, but how good does it feel!!  but what's even better is we know it's only going to last a short while and the sun will be back before the end of the week.

Don't you wish you could look forward on your weight loss like that and know for certain it will happen?  If only we could predict how and when we will lose weight, life would be so much easier.

Alas, it does not work that way, but when we know what works for us, and really tap into our "WHY", which is the real reason for wanting to be being a better version of ourselves, then we can set ourselves up for success.

My WHY is to keep heart healthy and not become a statistic of my family history, of which most have either died of had some heart problems before the age of 60.  To do this I have to eat healthy, avoid the processed foods and saturated fats, keep active, and sleep well.  

This has become my way of life, and activity is always a priority, even after all these years, every day I could talk myself out of it, but my WHY keeps me motivated, I want my body to feel good, because when it feels good, I do much better.

This month in our workshops we have been focusing on reflecting and refreshing, knowing what works for us.  When we look back and see how far we have coasted away from the core behaviors that help and support us, then we can start to reel ourselves back in and get ready for success.  

This week we will officially start our Fall season, so are you ready to "FALL BACK" into those good habits again?  

If yes, what is your first step?

This is important as we build on this first step. for me, changing the decor at home to more Fall colors makes me aware of the season.  Clearing out the pantry, fridge and freezer makes me aware of what I have in stock and helps me plan meals better using these core ingredients, like: beans, tomatoes, spices etc., and seeing all the Fall veggies is inspiring me to make more sheet pan roast veg trays, and slow cooker meals too using the root veggies again.

Do you know where you are going to set your starting point?

This week in our workshops we will be talking about "How to refresh your Kitchen".  Our kitchens are the heart of all our homes, and it's the easiest place to provide us the support we need, but also the easiest place to derail us to.  How do you want your Kitchen space to support you? 

Go to one of our Connect groups on your WW app and read the Facts for this week and also the weekly technique.

Need help connecting to our Connect group, we can help you at the workshop.

So are you ready to get back to basics, kickstart weight loss and build on self happiness?, then be sure to join us in person at the workshops this week, you can use "Find a Workshop" on your ww app menu to find one if you are not able to attend ours, or see my schedule below so you know where I will be each week.  

I look forward to seeing you all.

Happy FALL!  


Much love as always

  1. Since the weather is cooler, I'm enjoying hot soups. I made a wonderful ratatouille dish yesterday and everyone enjoyed it. Today I am going to clean out the side door pockets in my refrigerator because I have too many bottles of things. Luana
