The Big BLOB Weight Loss Blog

You’ve probably guessed by now that I’m a BIG fan of the 40-30-30 or ZONE diet because it is a relatively easy diet to stick to, and because there really isn’t anything that you can’t eat … as long as you keep your intake of carbs, protein and fat in balance.

I love the books on my shelf ( see my bookstore ) but was also excited to find this website:

It’s a zone eating plan that ADDITIONALLY focuses on low glycemic index foods. (I’ll cover this more in the next few weeks).

In additino to a Menu Planner, Shopping List, Progress Log, Discussion Groups this program also includes a Zone Meal Designer which allows you to adjust recipes to fit you. It also includes a Nutrition Label Analyzer and becasue so many family’s often share the same weight problems it has a Family Life Style section. It’s quite a powerful program that can be VERY MOTIVATING.

You should check out the success stories … and maybe even BECOME one!

Hope you like it as much as I do!!

I’ve been thinking about “intention” a lot in the past few weeks. I need to do some stuff I’d rather not do and I’ve noticed that most often I just don’t do it. It all has to do with “intention.” And carrying out our intentions is often a matter of how we “language” them.

Take the following examples:

Lets do lunch sometimes … vs … Lets catch up over lunch. What about Friday at 12:30 at Frankos?

I’ll try to make it … vs … Absolutely, I’d love to help out. I’ll see you on Saturday bright and early!

I should … vs … I MUST

Is losing weight just a thought or a should or is it REALLY your INTENTION?

Do you say, “I should lose weight” or “I am in the process of losing weight!”

Do you say, “I’ll try to get out for a walk tomorrow” or “Tomorrow at 8:00 AM sharp I am going for a walk, do you want to join me?”

There is power in INTENTION. Choose ONE thing you need to do today and INTEND it into reality.
