New is In and It Will Keep You Thin

A lot of you reading this blog know that a big part of my almost twenty years keeping off the weight had and has to do with keeping it new, keeping it alive and keeping it real.

New experiences, new activities and new food are things I have been encouraging people to do for almost two decades. So with that in mind here are a couple of new ideas for you today..........


From the Food Category:

  • On a trip to New Orleans a few years back I was introduced to mashed sweet potatoes with banana. Delicious. Now of course their version had lots of butter and sugar and cinnamon. Mine did not. It had cinnamon. But last night I added some fat-free vanilla half-and-half. A new favorite side dish; or perhaps even a snack; or a dessert; or BREAKFAST!!!!
  • Chopped up some leftover chicken the other day; was going to make chicken salad. One slight problem; no mayo. No problem; I'll come up with something. So I added a bit of soy sauce to the chicken and some salt and pepper and then had a great idea..............I spread some blueberry jam on a whole wheat wrap and dumped the chicken on for a new kind of sandwich.

And from the Exercise Department

  • Have you been struggling to lose those hips? That butt? Here's a way to laugh your ass off!

And from the New Experience Department

  • I'll report back on that one tomorrow; all I can tell you is that it involves a group of twenty-something's that I'm meeting in the "hood" in Hartford tonight.

But let me ask you; what was the last new food, new exercise or new experience to benefit your weight and health?

Old Friends, New Friends, Fat Friends, Skinny Friends

So what happens when you put almost 40 people in a room for dinner and celebrating?
  • You make some new friends.
  • You make some new contacts
  • You find out you have more in common with people than you think
  • You eat what Rich decides you will eat in order to lose that butt, boob and belly.
  • You laugh about a common interest
  • You get a new idea from someone you met only an hour ago
  • You not only get reminded that putting yourself first matters; but you celebrate the fact that you did
  • Rich gets all choked up by the level of friendship and support you brought with you.
  • You find out that some people are still excited about their success
  • You find out that some people open up and share a bit more when they have the opportunity and time to make personal connections (or a drink????)
  • You find out that some people don't think 45 minutes is too far to drive for a new experience

And that's what happened last night in Middlebury CT where we Dined Off The Pounds And that's what's going to happen again on February 26, 2008 (yes, I booked the restaurant again last night; details coming soon); and my gut feeling is people are going to bring more people; so look for the announcement; space in the dining room is limited.

You see folks, I believe that our social life does impact our weight; unfortunately most weight conscious people think the social life throws a wrench into the process. Last night I think we saw how dieting, socializing and celebrating goes hand in hand if your mindset is on other things. Yes, some might say I forced the networking; but it was embraced by every single person in attendance. Take that to your next Super Bowl party!

So for all of you who joined us last night, I drove home very excited. I had a big smile on my face and a huge lump in my..........................

THROAT!

Your love, support and friendship was something I always knew I had, but last night was so overwhelming I needed to breathe deeply a few times as I stood in front of you once again. It was great to be back with you!

I can't wait until February 26th! Oh and you should see the fun and games I've already got in store for you that night............................... (be somewhat afraid)

Now go get Skinny or Skinnier

How about some nursery rhymes tonight!

Mary had a little lamb
Its fleece was white as snow
Screw the fleece;
the rest of the little sucker made for a great stew

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall
Maybe had he went on a diet
The damn wall wouldn't have collapsed

Jack and Jill went up the hill
to fetch a pail of water
Jack fell down and broke his crown
because he was so out of shape

Rain rain go away
Come again another day
Little Johnny wants to sit inside,
play on the computer and become obese

Mary Mary quite contrary
Don't forget to eat your dairy

This little piggy went to Boston Market
This little piggy stayed at Home Town Buffet
This little piggy killed a cow and had roast beef
This little piggy was in denial and said he had none
And this little piggy went... "Wee wee" from drinking too much water

What happens in Vegas..................

Okay ladies................in my never ending attempt to get you to exercise and try new things...........I think you should try this one:



Hmm.............Maybe the next retreat?

The Fat Agenda

The Republican Agenda
The Democratic Agenda
The Gay Agenda
The Black Agenda
The Mormon Agenda
The Corporate Agenda

It seems that everyone has an agenda these days - except Overweight and Obese People. So today I kickoff the Official.........

Fat Agenda

Won't you join me?

  • Let's demand wider sidewalks; actually let's demand sidewalks
  • Let's demand wider plane seats
  • Let's demand bakeries be abolished
  • Let's demand that the food companies stop trying to make us feel in control by putting foods into snack size portions which they know we won't each just one; then raping us on the price
  • Let's demand that economics and the law of supply and demand actually start to work in our favor.......if 60+% of the world is overweight or obese why the hell are "diet" foods more money and why the hell are large and extra large sizes priced higher. Make the damn skinny twits pay more!
  • Let's demand the death penalty for anyone who sells ice cream
  • Let's demand that more money be given to parks and recreation
  • Let's demand the death penalty for any derogatory remarks by people who just don't understand our struggle
  • Let's demand that the Commander in Chief shop in a Big, Tall, Fat, or Plus Size store and have their clothes tailored to a smaller size if need be
  • Let's demand the Commander in Chief use their legs a bit more as the vehicle of choice
  • Let's demand free vegetable gardens for everyone
  • Let's demand people stop charging for water
With that said, I think we should vote the fattest candidate for President. After all, they will have our best interests in mind.

What do you think? Do you have a demand to add to the agenda?

Or should we just eat right, get off our asses and exercise, and lose and keep the weight off to shift the balance of power?

Do You Feel Like Crap When You Take One?

Yes, I'm talking about defecation this morning. And it seems that there is a yogurt out there that will make your crapping experience a whole lot more pleasant. Yes, the folks at Dannon have come up with Activia; which they say will help you crap easier, better, smarter - okay those are my words, but if you check out their website, I'm pretty damn close. (http://www.activia.com/)

And they even have a crap challenge!! You gotta love it - eat our product and you'll crap better and you'll feel better while you crap and about your crap experiences.

I've got a challenge for you too - eat better and maybe your craps won't hurt! Stop eating greasy, fat, disgusting food. Stop eating all of those processed foods and snacks where the first ingredient is corn syrup or something you cannot pronounce. There's a challenge for you. That's my idea for a better crapping experience.

Oh by the way, instead of putting syrup or jam on my low fat waffles this morning, I spread some Activia across the top. Delicious! Hey, the possibility that my crapping experiences could be even better than they already are piqued my curiosity. And being so regular...................

I don't know what I want to eat

It's 7:00 PM; you walk to the fridge. You open it. Nothing excites you. You walk away.

It's 7:45 PM; you walk to the fridge. You open it. Nothing excites you. You walk away.

It's 8:20 PM; you walk to the fridge. You open it. Nothing new miraculously appeared on any of the shelves. You shut the door. You open it again. Nope, still nothing new appeared. You walk away.

It's 9:00 PM; you start looking at relish, jam, cherries and all kinds of other condiments on the door to see if any combinations might work. You're now pissed at yourself for not having anything to eat in the house.

It's 9:30 PM; you go to bed all cranky.


Now let's look at it this way. Obviously your kitchen was set up to support your efforts and did not include all kinds of trouble. That's a good thing. But most importantly, do you think it might be time to take a look why there was nothing to eat. Could it be because something might have been eating at you?

Think about it!

There will be a $5 charge for sharing

"There will be a $5 charge for sharing an entree" the waitress told the people at the table next to me last night.

"You two order your entrees and I'll just order a Caesar salad for dinner" said the woman to her two dining companions. "Now will there be a sharing charge?" said the woman staring at the waitress.

"I guess not" said the waitress.

The three woman shared two meals and a salad. They laughed. They gabbed. They saved a few bucks and proved that the dining out experience does not have to be a challenge - when you're in the right mindset.

How are you doing when you dine out?
What are some of the best strategies that you use?

Would you be so kind as to hit the comments button below and leave a thought; or are you just here sucking information again?

I'll start you off with one..............my new strategy pertains to breakfast; I hate hard eggs. Why is it that omelets are always hard? So I choose my omelet ingredients and ask them to do it as a scramble, instead of an omelet. DELICIOUS!!!

Tall & Fat Store Vs. Anorexic & Short Store

What's up with American Eagle, Abercrombie and Hollister? They're not doing a heck of a lot to help my self-esteem!

I found myself shopping this past weekend - I wanted to spend my holiday gift certificates - so I thought I would check out these three stores. Being a kid at heart and trying not to dress like I'm ready for the retirement home I walked into all three of these places.

I normally wear a medium in a shirt. If I'm looking for a relaxed fit, I might go up to a large. (My birthday is in April)

Medium at these places would fit my dogs - they weigh about twenty-two pounds. Large would fit my neighbor's kid. I think he weighs about 45 lbs. What's up with this nonsense? I would have needed a 5X (if they made it) to wear a garment manufactured by these folks.

But it did make me realize something..........the kids wearing these clothes really do have no butts.

I went over to Bass, Van Heusen and Geofrey Beene. I bought Big Kid clothes. I bought my medium and smiled.

How about you? Are you smiling about a smaller size these days.

Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives

So I'm spending a wild and crazy Friday night crashed in front of the TV, watching the food network. It was refreshing to turn it on and NOT see Rachel Ray. (I actually like the woman, but enough already.)

The show: Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives

I love it!! I love the old nostalgic diners. I love the "Slice of America" people they meet. I love the spirit of everyone they meet with and visit. Oh, and let's not forget some of the food choices. Let's just say there's a reason why only the butt cracks of some of those people actually fit on those spinning red stools!

Well last night they were showing some good old comfort food; but it's always the breakfast stuff that gets me charged; after all breakfast is my favorite meal of the day. I could care less about dinner.

So I'm sitting there watching the show and thinking how far Manchester New Hampshire is. Should I toss the dogs in the car and take a breakfast trip in the morning? Or should I go play in the kitchen and take one of those to-die-for meals and come up with something healthier, filling, and butt-reducing.

I think you know the answer. That's how I use the Food Network to keep my boyish figure. That's where I get my meal ideas. And then I go play. Where do you get your meal ideas? When was the last time you experimented in your kitchen?

But I will say this; I'm heading to New Hampshire for the Retreat From Your Weight Loss in a few weeks. The Red Arrow Diner just might be a great place to stop for a bite!

Well I'm off to go play in the kitchen. Happy Saturday! Hmm..........Maybe I should rent out a firehouse and have a different kind of Pancake Breakfast? Good idea?

Hey, on another note! Give a hand to a group of ladies who are laughing their butts off at 6:00 AM with me Monday through Friday. We just finished our first week of Six Minutes at 6:00 or $6.00 and the feedback I have received from them has been awesome.

All I want to do is eat today!

You've had them. We've all had them. Days when you just want to eat. And eat. And eat. And eat. The fact that my office is down the hall from my kitchen helps little.

So I thought I would share with you how I am getting through the day thus far (It is 3:47 PM EST)
  • A can of black bean soup hit the spot for a bit
  • Canned pumpkin tossed in the nuclear wave oven for a couple of minutes; then mixed up with cinnamon and splenda; hit the sweet spot.
  • Some baby bok choy, garlic, soy sauce and Canadian Bacon pieces
  • Finally some edamame beans with garlic salt!
I've been eating all day and don't feel guilty.

Of course, the key to this was being prepared and that was with the help of god's answer to grocery shopping

Now I Can't Eat Dinner!

A tale told to me by Ed:

"Now I can't eat dinner; tomorrow is weigh-in" said Beth after she helped Ed polish off a bag of Cheesy Poofs - a.k.a. Cheese Doodles for the foolish ones who do not learn life lessons from watching South Park. Her lunch was yogurt and an orange.

End of tale.

Now for Rich's Comments on Ed's tale:

This is the part I do not get. So now for the rest of the day Beth gets to walk around and starve. She'll drink water, eat carrots and become mean and nasty from food deprivation. Her blood sugar may drop; she will be reminded that she is dieting. The next morning she might be so hungry, thus triggering the end of what has been a very successful journey. She may sneak around the kitchen at night taking a nibble of this; a piece of that. She will open things ever so quietly so that others in the house do not hear her. She will brush her teeth; chew gum; and count the hours until bedtime...............and then applaud herself for getting through the rest of the day.

Hardly getting through the day as far as I am concerned. There was enough anxiety and frustration to lead me to hop in my car and head to Ying Yang buffet - and you know how I feel about buffets; refer to my book.

Whatever happened to owning up to our actions. How about eating a sensible dinner; and not for reasons of still trying to beat the scale at your weigh-in; but to show that you care about yourself? How about asking yourself why you ransacked the bag of cheesy poofs - I'd start with the yogurt and orange. Why would you punish yourself for an action that is not a death penalty offense?

EAT DINNER FOR PETE'S SAKE!!!

The Power of Suggestion

Did you ever notice that when someone mentions they ate a salad or an apple you don't head off to the fridge; but when there is mention of pizza or a cookie a totally different response occurs.

Why is that?

Crap! It's time for lunch. What should I eat? I know I'm not having a salad or an apple.

Some Days Are Easy. Some Days Are Hard.

So do you agree with the title of this post?

If not, you're probably completely cured, must be the perfect size, are always in control and.........

I think most would agree that some days are easy and others are a bit more challenging. On the easy days, I'll be you're on top of the world. You're in control. You're the weight loss guru in your circles. People want to slap you upside the head.

On the hard days you beat yourself up, question your ability to make this happen and wonder if you'll ever be Skinny. You want to slap others upside their head. It is on these days I can only ask you to think about one thing............................

Some days are easy and some day is coming soon. I promise.

You Will Not Die If You Miss One Meal (most of you)

On my way home from the Nun Concert today I remembered I needed milk. There is a local market right near my home. I pulled in to the parking lot; there was not one space available.

WTF I thought?

And then I remembered............we are supposed to have some snow here tonight. And in true New England fashion, panic set in.

Oh god, we might never get out.
Oh god, we're going to be stuck inside tomorrow; we better get food for the next week.
Oh god, we better get milk and bread because................. (does anyone else wonder why we always had to go get milk and bread. If I am going to die because of some snow storm shouldn't it be cheesecake we're buying? And if we went for milk and bread, how come crap ended up in the house as well?)

If I may be honest here......... if any one of you reading this missed one meal you would not die. I'll be you would even survive missing two. And around here, the roads are usually passable in a window of two meals.

So next time you're watching the weather, why don't you take a close look at what is in the kitchen; I'll bet you'll be okay without baking cookies.

And as for a few of those people walking in and out of the store today, they would have been okay two or three months!

On a mission to find a salad!

It's not too late to sign up - and it's FREE. Click here and you'll be taken to the registration form. Imagine starting your day with some ideas and motivation to make your weight loss dreams a reality.

And speaking of imagination..............................

Lunch at the conference today consisted of wrap sandwiches, potato salad, cookies and potato chips. Not the healthiest lunch I thought. It's one of those times where you just have to make what you think is the best choice. I went for the roast beef wrap and a spoonful of potato salad.

The woman in front of me commented, with a surprised tone, that there was no regular salad.

A little later I walked by her and noticed she was eating what appeared to be a salad. At first I thought I was imagining it. So I asked where she found salad. Now this is cool.....................Are you ready?..................................This is what I call ingenious....................She told me she unraveled several of the wrap sandwiches and took out the lettuce and tomato slices.

Brilliant!

Why people have fat dogs

If you have not read the previous post, please read that one first.

So why do people have fat dogs?

Could it be they overfeed them?
Could it be that they are too lazy to walk the dog?
Could it be the dog gets no exercise at all?
Could it be the number of edible treats the dog gets as reward for stupid tricks? Did you ever hear of something called praise as a reward?
Could it be that every time the owner walks by the treat jar the dog gets one?

Could I replace the word dogs with kids?

Are you capable of connecting the dots to your weight loss with these questions and taking something away that will get you thinking about your actions?

How is that for food for thought?

The weekend is here! Hooray!!!

I wish I could eat like my dogs

Quick Note First: Have you faxed in your registration for your 10 minute Rich fix starting Monday? It's free! See the end of this message if you have no idea what I am talking about.
-------------------------

I wish I could eat like my dogs. All the vitamins and nutrients are in one food. No worrying about whether you got enough fruits or vegetables, whole grains, or proper fats. Everything would be in one bag or can. All the nutrients for better health in one place. Oh how great that would be.

I wish I could eat like my dogs. Grocery shopping would be so simple. There would be no temptations. One item. One purchase. Once every 30 - 45 days. It would just be a matter of which brand to get and where to go get it.

I wish I could eat like my dogs. Someone else would be doing the grocery shopping for me.

I wish I could eat like my dogs. Portions would be controlled and access would be out of my control.

I wish I could eat like my dogs. I wouldn't have to cook. Cleanup would be a breeze.

I wish I could eat like my dogs. I would have to find other things to do when I was bored; like lick myself in strange places.

I wish I could eat like my dogs. Leftovers would be............hahahahahahahahaha!!!!!

I wish I could eat like my dogs. I would actually drink water.

So why do people have fat dogs?

I've got my thoughts. But you'll have to wait.

Lose 50 lbs by June!

"I want to lose 50 lbs by June" she said to me the other day.

I thought it was doable. She has quite a bit to lose.

This is not the first time she has said things like this to me. I want to lose "X" number of pounds by such and such a date. But this time I responded differently than I have in the past.

I said, "You mean 2008, right?"

Dinner with a slut!

Last night I had dinner with a slut - the Sushi Slut she calls herself.

I was really excited upon arriving at the restaurant. I love sushi. I love this restaurant. And since sushi is so low in calories and fat................................ (well you know where that type of rationale goes - right to your butt!) I was salivating walking through the door. I was licking my lips. Yep, I must admit my focus was on the meal I was about to have and not the company I was about to keep - not intentionally, it just was.

So it came time to order and we were deciding what to do.

Slut?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Hardly.

We split one sushi meal - and it was not the Lover's Boat for two. It was a sushi meal for one. We also split one serving of Edamame beans and one seaweed salad. Two and one-half hours in a restaurant and there was more talking than eating; more catching up than chewing. Two and one-half hours later I was completely satisfied. Two and one half hours later I was reminded that it was and should be about the fun and laughs, not the food.

Slut?

Hardly what I would call a slut. If anything I would say she is in control of her portions, and on track to get back to her desired weight and waist size.

So, TB if you're reading this, I don't think you're the Sushi Slut, I think you're the Sushi Skinny! And you're great company!

My verbal revenge on Celery!!!

Celery. It's a useless vegetable. It has no purpose in life. It is nothing but a spoon for cream cheese and peanut butter. And I refuse to ruin the taste of my cream cheese and peanut butter with celery.

Those who know me, already knew my feelings about celery; now the rest of you do. Well I broke down and bought some celery the other day. I was having guests over the house and needed to make a veggie platter. I was being accommodating. For some odd reason people like celery. I don't get it. It has no taste. The strands come apart and stick in your teeth. Dirt gets stuck in the creases. It's just gross!

Well I cut those stupid stalks into dipping size pieces and tossed the rest of the celery into the garbage disposal. Well the disposal shredded the celery and the freakin shredded celery strands got all wrapped around the inside of the garbage disposal and clogged my sink for an hour. Yes, between plunging and letting the disposal run it took one hour to unclog the sink.

I HATE CELERY!! Death to the celery industry.

And next time I am NOT going to be so accommodating. My guests will have to live with peppers, cucumbers, carrots and tomatoes.

But on a positive note, I had a lot of veggies left after the party. Nobody wanted to eat vegetables.

Well the tribe has spoken........................

5:30 is obviously too early; as was evident by the calls, emails and procrastination. I never heard so much whining in my life.

So, I listened to your whining, uh I mean feedback, and I've changed the game...............

Do you know how to make.......................

Vegetable Soup?

It is really simple................You take some vegetables and toss them in a pot with some water or chicken broth and whatever seasonings and spices get you excited. Move over Rachel Ray.

I often times go into a restaurant, look at the menu and think where in the world the chef came up with that idea. Rarely has the chef disappointed, except at the the nasty, macro or micro biotic organic sprouts restaurant in a town in the middle of CT - that place is OFF THE LIST!

Bottom line is this, chefs experiment and come up with great ideas. I believe there is a chef in all of you; a chef that can help you get skinny!

It's the weekend. Spend some time in your kitchen playing chef. And if you create a healthy winner let us know.

I'm off to make a carrot soup. I'm winging it! I'll guess I better go to the IGA and buy some carrots.

And for those of you who know know me intimately, I might even go more than two ingredients.

Claudia is gonna do it with Me!

And so is Joy. And Susan. And maybe Kris.

Why don't you come do it with Rich beginning this Monday as well.

Be sure to read the next two posts - and make sure you click on the comments box in those two posts and read the dialog that has been occurring.

And if you don't have a fax............call me.

Ease into the diet if you have to

Are you one of the many who is excited about getting back in control of your weight now that the New Year is here? Are you one of the many who is coming down from a sugar high; an alcoholic frenzy? Did you spend the holidays partying like Ms. Spears?

As excited and thrilled as many dieters are to see the New Year come, many are going from one extreme to another?

Bran Turds for breakfast instead of pastry.
Fruit mid-morning instead of cookies.
Salad for lunch instead of cookies.
A cup of tea or coffee at 3:00 without the cookies.
A nice piece of broiled fish for dinner not followed by.................

Last night I was eating dinner with a group of people and overheard some moaning about weight – as they inhaled their chocolate soufflé. I kept my mouth closed. I am being paid to address them on Leadership this morning not on weight loss. When I leave here in a few minutes I will join them for breakfast. I’m sure there will be pastry there. I will listen for the moans. I’m also sure there will be fruit and yogurt.

For lots of folks, going from one extreme to another does not work long term. Lots of folks need to ease back into their diet. Maybe I’ll have some fruit, yogurt and a bite of pastry.

Can you lose just 5 lbs. this year?

Can you lose five lbs. this year? Just five pounds? Just a simple five pounds?

How much effort would it take to lose five pounds this year? C'mon that's less than half a pound per month. I would bet for most people this would be painless; painless effort-wise and perhaps remove or reduce some pain from your joints.

Do you realize most adults slowly gain weight over the years? All of a sudden they look back and wonder where five pounds came from. Ten. Twenty. Thirty. Look at it this way, if your extreme attempts resulted in a 5 lb. weight gain in 2007, minimal attempts would have ultimately resulted in a 10 lb loss; the five you gained, plus the five you could have lost.

Imagine if over the next five years you could lose twenty-five pounds without really trying. Would that be monumental for some of you?

Minimal effort.
Long-term results.
Scales going in the right direction.
What do you think?

What will you do today to lose 1/2 a lb. this month? Eat one less snack? Swap a crappy snack for a piece of fruit? Park your car on the other side of the parking lot? Heck how about at the foot of the driveway for beginners? Order 1/2 a sandwich? The list goes on and on. Wouldn't it be great if you could look at what you ate on January 2, 2007 and just make a minor adjustment in the right direction? Well if you had kept a journal of everything you ate last year you could have. Oh, hindsight.

Now go get Skinny!
