Countdown Clock by Zoodu.com


healthy foodI don't know whether you're the kind of person who wants to get that last piece of layer cake or a big bowl of pasta, but if you are the time is now, before the weightiest challenge in the rain begins. Roger Mucci has decided to drop some unwanted pounds while getting healthier as he starts a new chapter of his life. A lot of us, yours truly included, have chosen to hang onto his coat tails in an attempt to pummel our extra pounds into submission.

I'm at a crossroads here. Do I eat every last piece of garbage that tantalizes my admittedly unrefined and uneducated palate, or do I get a leg up, so to speak and stop dead in my tracks here, training my body to stop craving carbs and all the other stuff that threatens to turn my arteries into solid concrete? How would you approach the challenge?

Why not come join Take It Off In The Rain and share our struggles and successes or share your own.  We're here to support each other in our attempt to stay healthy.

BTW, I just fell in love with the countdown clock when I saw it on Pat & Wayne Harriman's post and had to use it here.  Now don't forget, when the clock reaches zero (Eastern Time), it's time to start.

Hi Geri, LOVE the clock. I couldn't wait until after 12 to see what your next blog post would be. Great as usual.

Thanks Debra.  I love the clock too but it's Pat & Wayne Harriman's find, not mine.

I remember at a New Year's Eve party one year where the hostess said go ahead and eat.  These calories don't count on next year's total.  Hmm.  But that is a pretty good idea to wait until after Labor Day weekend.  Plus it can give you time to prepare mentally for the next challenge.

The countdown clock is fabulous........love it Geri.  You are such a friend and great support........if you want an opinion, have fun this week, eat those carbs, live it up, I am, and will get busy on the 7th.  This is your last chance for "true happiness" in the eating department until we all have to get serious and be accountable.  Here's a hint, you don't have to tell what you eat this week, or ever, so have at it my friend.

Geri - I have a huge family.  And unfortunately, we all think the ideal family gathering is to sit ourselves around a large table, talk for hours while plates, of Paella, Pasta, or whatever are being systematically rotated around.  Food means love to us:-)  I'm a serious cook, and that doesn't help, because I don't do small recipes.   I cook for an army, even if there are only a few of us.  One thing that is on our side, is we like fresh produce and ingredients.  I go to the Farmer's Market every Saturday morning to do my shopping.  Fortunately about half of us are on the thin side (I'm not one of 'em).  I attribute that to our being very active in sports, and outdoor activities.  You can get a way with a little more if you stay off the couch.

I'm in too.  I've been needing to do this and now more than ever.  I stopped smoking 4 weeks ago.  I know if I don't watch it I'll eat everything that doesn't eat me first.
