Doug talks snacking.
Steve talks Evernote.
We speculate on the possibility of female listeners, and take a moment to apologize to both of them:
and
Viv.

GutCheckCast 2.0 Ep 34 - Solo By The Numbers
Doug's flying solo this week, as Zach was (in technical terms) "crazy overscheduled" this week.
Zach's down a bit.
Doug's holding steady.
Doug talks state budgets, calorie budgets (in the form of Subway PDF's you can print from here), and Red Robin's Burger Customizer (henceforth known as "Pimp My Burger").

And... superjuice!

Updated: Holly Lisle's Motivation Course available by itself
If you're interested in goal setting and would like to get the whole system for generating motivation, Holly Lisle has just made that instruction on motivation I mentioned in the last GutCheckCast available on its own for $34.95.
I've been taking the "How to Think Sideways" Course for the last six months, and I believe the information on motivation alone is worth everything I've paid for the course to date, which is a heck of a lot more than 34.95, if that's any motivation.

GutCheckCast 2.0 Ep 32 - School's in, and You've Got Homework.
Hey everyone.
Here's the homework. We're working on motivation, and this is loosely adapted from Holly Lisle's "The Writing Craft". Sure, sure, what does writing have to do with losing weight / getting healthy? Well, they both require lots and lots of motivation.
This is NOT exactly her technique, she goes much more in depth in goal setting and motivation, and anyone interested in the full material should sign up for her classes (I'm taking the "How to Think Sideways Course" now).
If your goal is to lose weight, and you're having problems motivating yourself, staying on track, etc., it's pretty obvious that there's a part of you that really doesn't want to do it. You're getting some kind of benefit out of NOT doing it. You need to figure out what that is.
Take two pieces of paper, and a pen or a pencil, and a clock or watch you can time yourself with.
Take five minutes, and on the first piece of paper, list all the benefits you would get out of achieving your goal. This is a stream of consciousness exercise. Get started, and anything that pops into your head for this goes on the piece of paper.
Then, take five minutes, and write out all the benefits you are getting out of NOT working for your goal. Maybe it's things like "I don't have to waste time working out." Or, "I don't like the feeling of sore muscles." Maybe it's "breakfast tacos!" Whatever pops into your head.
Once you've got them both down, take a hard look at both of them, and ask yourself which list is more fulfilling.
You don't have to share this with anyone, but it's a very interesting exercise, and can help you figure out why you're sabotaging yourself.
Enjoy!

Step AWAY from the blueberries
My colleagues and I had our traditional "end of the week lunch" today because several of them aren't going to be around on Friday. So we decide to go to Bob Evans and I do some online research before we go. The Wildfire grilled chicken salad is a reasonable 440 calories, even with the added dressing(225). I figure some water to wash it all down and I'll be ok.
So after the fact, I start to tally lunch for later Lose It input and realize I need to know about the side order of blueberry bread that came with the salad. FOUR HUNDRED AND SEVENTY EIGHT calories. Yikes. Lesson learned... if you're not sure if you can "afford it", don't eat it. I'm thinking smaller portions for whatever is on the supper menu tonight.
