Except for the "red meat" part, I think everyone should follow those general rules for better health.
I'm the one who ate an entire bag of candycorn last night.
Thanks for coming by!

YES MA'M!!! LOL...love these. You are so clever, my friend.
I am so happy for you and your weight loss. I am working at it too!
Have a great day, my T13 is up.
 


At 9:12 AM, Blogger ALP said........
What a great list! I know all those things but don't abide by them. You would think if one wanted to lose weight they would...
 


At 9:56 AM, Blogger Sherri said........
The protein and carb one was a bit one for me...a friend passed on this tip to me last April and it totally changed the way I eat food...now I limit my carbs to no more than 30 g in a 2 hr period and I always balance that with at least 15 g of protein.

It sounds like you are doing great!! Way to go!

My list is up:)
 


At 11:05 AM, Blogger Carmen said........
i have trouble with the water one. :(
 


At 11:08 AM, Blogger Deb said........
I'm doing pretty good with all of those except for the red meat and water. I love red meat but I have cut way back on it. I have a terrible time getting all of my water down!

Have a great Thursday!
 


At 11:33 AM, Blogger Kimmy said........
Thou shalt not eat an entire 5 pound bag of peanut M&Ms and wash it down with a Pepsi.
(I break that one every time :p)
Glad to visit you again. I hear you're going to be a "diva" soon. Congratulations! You'll be a wonderful grandma!
Happy T13! (And thank you so much for your prayers and encouraging comments!)

Great list (I'm doing my best to follow through with most of them)... but I just can't give up my coffee. Try as I might, I am told that I am just too cranky to give it up. :)

Happy TT!

Your site is so pretty! I love daisies :)

I always have trouble with avoiding red meat. I usually do okay for a couple of weeks, but then I break down and just have to have a cheeseburger.
 


At 3:48 PM, Blogger Chelle Y. said........
I think I broke every one of those commandments today! :)

Mine is up!
 


At 4:16 PM, Blogger Tanya said........
I had no idea about the carb + protein deal. I'll have to remember that. And the exercise every morning. And minimising sugar. And... maybe I should print off your list and stick it to my fridge!

Great list - happy Thursday.

For the makeup excuse to work, I would actually have to wear makeup and I don't.

I stopped wearing makeup because I would forget and end up wiping it off all the time. LOL
 


At 6:06 PM, Blogger Mommy the Maid said........
Wow. I am not sure I could even stick to one of those. :D Great TT!

I don't think I have the willpower to diet. The voice of chocolate is just too loud!

You know, that water thing is critical. And it gives you something to do while you aren't eating as much. Sometimes if I have hit a plateau, if I up my water, I lose some....
