Weight loss is easy, just eat less and exercise more. We’ve all heard it, but mentally we all know something is missing from the equation.

Dr. Robert Neff founder of “mental training” and Dr. Lori L. Shemek author of Top 3 Successful Weight Loss Tips (permanently) analyze how we can use their new mental technique to tackle weight loss…for good.

The following are 5 easy weight loss tips to gain confidence, optimism, and tenacity in every step of your path to weight loss freedom.

“Healthy dose of pride ends with a strong habit”. Take the word “CAN’T” out of the equation. Throw away each of the irrational thoughts and trade them for “I can create the life I’ve always wanted”. Dr Robert Neff suggests consistently taking the following actions to contribute to higher confidence.

“Never turn your alarm clock off”. Create consistency in a routine, at first rigid, then habit forms. Eventually, the habit becomes second nature and occurs without having to make a conscious decision.  Dr. Neff suggests the following proven successful routine.

“You are a product of your environment.” Breaking old habits is hard enough, so change what we can control, our environment. Dispose of the food you know will set back your weight loss. Get rid of all sugars! Replace sugars with complex carbohydrates (oats, wheat, brown rice), lean protein and healthy fats.

“Out of sight, out of mind”. Leave the table as soon as you’re done eating, and go walk Fido…the dishes can wait. Once you come back you will feel more satisfied than picking at the leftovers.

Eat more, but less…What? Make your portions appear larger by using smaller bowls, plates, and cups. The idea is to the perception of eating more but you’re really not.

Developing strong mental habits can be more valuable than physical weight loss obstacles. Changing your mental state, establishing consistency and analyzing your environment can all change your mental relationship with weight loss.

Frisco is a fast growing city that has needs for Police, Fire, Parks and Roads so one has to wonder why Frisco is about to sell 17 Million In Bonds to build an Performing Art Center in Allen, TX.

The sale of the bonds and Frisco’s share of the operation expense of the ACC is estimated between 36-41 Million over 20 years.  Those in Favor of selling the bonds are using the minimalist sales approach that this will only cost each Frisco Home about $44 Per year. (for the average house, about $150 for me)

Personally my Property Taxes are already over 12k per year – there are certain to be more tax increases by the county, city and ISD. so this $44 ($150) is just another straw on the camels back.

There comes a time when government needs to be told NO! -

There are plenty of performing art venues within 1 hours drive of Frisco. If you want to support the arts, please visit one of these other DFW area venues that are losing money. Don’t build another venue to compete with these struggling Art Centers.

In case you don’t often travel up Legacy in Frisco then you should beware that between 9am and 3pm for the next couple of weeks there will be construction.

I am not sure what they are doing but they hey are tearing up the median. It starts just north of Baylor Medical and continues up to Starbucks on Legacy.

The moved all of the trees from the median and transplanted them further north, now they are removing all of the soil (about 2 feet of soil so far) – not sure if they are going to increase the bandwidth on Legacy or if they are having issues below the surface that need to be corrected. Either way, expect delays as you travel north on legacy during the work day.
