Welcome to my Thursday 13 Edition No 12
My last 2 TT´s have featured Weight Loss Tips. Most of you know I´m traing to get rid of a few more pounds… everything´s worked great until today.

But now I´m feeling pmsy… I could dispatch my own weight in different thickeners… I don´t want to choose, I need them all! *LOL* So my today´s TT deals with

13 Dietary Sins I Could Scarf Right Now

1. A huge Kebap (with feta cheese and hot sauce)


2. Pizza (double cheese, arugula, parma ham, extra Parmesan cheese)

3. Hot and spicy Chicken Wings (3 dozen)

4. Twister Fries with mayonaise (swimming in mayonaise)

5. Subway Sandwiches (Not too bad? A party plate!)

6. Black Forrest Cake (a whole one)

7. Double salty licorice from Sweden (let´s begin with 3 packages)

8. 12 squares of Giradelli Chocolate (minimum)

9. Butterfinger (at least 10 - one for each of my fingers. Do toes count, too?)

10. Any kind of Chinese take-away food… (*yummy* roast duck!)

11. Taco Bell… (a lifetime dose)

12. Death By Chocolate (no more words needed?!)

13. A huge Starbuck´s Frozen Caramell Frappuccino Extra Cream (Coffee addiction!)


And I´ve tried to jump into my good old Replay Electra jeans… I can close the knobs, but having a look into the mirror (Ewwww) I consider myself looking like a pot-bellied pig in my beloved jeans… my pregnancy belly is still a mess. So I decided to do change my “exercise for comments” survey into 5 ( Five!!! Five??? Am I nuts?! I´m sure I am! But I´m gonna make it - a promise is a promise! Even if I have to do 100-something a day!) sit-ups for each comment you leave *OUCH*
So, come on, be my drill instructor!

Happy TT,

And now…

Lisa: Do we have any food that wasn’t brutally slaughtered?
Homer: Well, I think the veal died of loneliness.

Welcome to my Thursday 13 Edition No 11
My Thursday 13 Edition #10 was about Weight Loss Tips. Most of you enjoyed the tips so I decided to post another 13 for you that helped me very much:

13 Weight Loss Tips that help me skimming
Part II

1. Counteract the “Rainy Day” principle. If you decrease your calorie count without necessarily increasing your physical activity level, your body is going to crash. Your body is going to say to itself: “Holy s#%t! I better store these calories as fat, because I´m not getting enough of them.”

2. Don´t compare yourself to others.
Every body is different. It stands to reason that everybody will lose weight differently.

3.Magic pills:
Nonsense! There is no such thing as a magic pill. Don’t fall victim to the hype of the latest fat-burning drug commercial.

4. Identify your ideal weight:
If you’re 5′5″ with a certain build, there´s an ideal weight that matches your body type. Find it - and make that your goal.

5. Ignore Ronald McDonald:
You don´t have to eliminate fast food completely, but you should avoid it at all costs.

6. Maintain your priorities:
Sure, your sandwich would taste amazing with an extra tablespoon of mayonnaise… but do you really need it?

7. Become your own snack fairy:
It´s okay to snack between meals - small meals throughout the day are enough to keep you satisfied, as (much like the sensation of being full) you never want to feel hungry.

8. Bring balance to the force:
If you eat the same foods over and over again, you´re going to get bored - unless they´re foods you really, really like. Feel free to change it up - keep your tongue happy.

9. Train wrecks will happen.
One of these nights, you´re going to go out with friends and eat your weight in steak (likely blowing any kind of progress you had made for that day). Instead of repeating the overindulgence, just put yourself back on track the next day.

10. “Water” you waiting for: =)
If you’re not drinking enough water, your body will let you know. Thirst is an amazing sensation - quench it.

11. Love the oil companies:
Just like your car needs high-quality oil, so too does your body. Not all oils were created equal, though it´s hotly contested which ones are better for you than others. I love a good olive oil - it’s 100% natural and is rich with Omega 9 fatty acids.

12. Identify your exercise:
No exercise was created equal. You might like running, so run. You might like jogging, so jog. You might like stationary bikes, so bike stationarily. Find the one that works best for you - that isn´t too much of a chore for you to do regularly throughout the week.

13. Satisfy cravings with extreme prejudice:
If you´re hungry for something, eat it. Don´t deny yourself the simple pleasures. If it´s possible, eat only half of what you want. Losing weight shouldn´t be torture for anybody.


Ed. Note: I´ve tried to jump into my favorite suit today - guess what happened? It fits!!! *doing the endzone dance*

Thanks a lot for your comments - you helped me a lot to get skinnier again. I still exercise 1 minute for each comment I recieve.

It makes me very very sad that all your lovely comments posted to my blog have turned into “anonymus” after Blogger has coerced me into switching to the New Blogger Version! I was no longer allowed to log-in to the Old Version and had to decide between giving up this blog (I could not access my dashboard) or switching. So I switched with the result everything is a mess. If you realize your comment appears as “anonymus” when you post it today, please post it again by using “others” or leave a link in the comment, so I can visit you! Thanks a lot =)

Happy TT,

And now…

Marge: This is the worst thing you’ve ever done.
Homer: You say that so often that it lost its meaning.

Welcome to my Thursday 13 Edition No 10
Today I present you 13 Weight Loss Tips that help me skimming. Here we go:

1. Motivation Guaranteed:
Climb in and out of a pair of your old XXL pants.

2. Reward Yourself:
For every kilo (2.2 pounds) you lose give yourself a treat, for example flowers, a cinema ticket or a visit to the beautician.

3. Work Wonders:
Place photos of yourself at “heavier times” in the fridge next to the snacks – you’ll be able to resist all temptation.

4. Boost Your Morale:
After weighing, plot your weight loss on a graph and watch that curve go down.

5. Distract Yourself:
Don’t wait to start eating out of boredom – jump into the bath with a good whodunnit instead.

6. Search Out Allies:
Exchange experiences with others who are also trying to lose weight, for example at a diet forum.

7. Learn Control:
Tell friends and family that you’re on a diet so that they will support you and not serve up your favourite food.

8. Enough Is Enough:
Clear away food as soon as you’ve finished eating. If you’re the sort who likes to munch on leftovers, take a hold of yourself.

9. Moooove:
Run up and down stairs several times – movement deadens sharp hunger attacks.

10. Allow Yourself Dessert:
Order a sorbet in a restaurant – sweet and low in fat.

11. Zone Out:
Excersise to your favorite music. Listening to external stimulus takes your mind off of the physical activity. That’s the secret to making “exercise time” fly.

12. Set Realistic Goals:
You can lose 50 pounds in a week if you work out 12 hours a day and eat nothing but celery - but not if you’re human. Slow and steady wins the race.

13. Remember That The Fork Is Not A Shovel:
Eat slowly! Your brain doesn’t know that your stomach is full until twenty minutes after it actually is.

And of course: YOUR COMMENTS - please leave a comment to get me running. I will exercise one minute for every comment I recieve =) Thanks…

Happy TT,

And now…
… our moment of Homer J.:

Homer: See you in hell, dinner plate!
