Good: calories

These are more notes from my weight loss class. Any misinformation is the fault of the note taker and I don’t know how to spell certain words.

• If you know you’re going to eat out then modify your other meals smaller so don’t overshoot calorie goal.
• Maybe do more activates if eating out.
• You can select your order and chose a better choice.
• Eat out less often: set a goal of frequency
• Reduce portion size.
• Drink water before you eat out to fill the belly.
• Put in drink flavoring into drink but do it at a reduced quantity.
• Flavored water with 0 calorie is fine.
• If eat out and get 600 or less some feel good. It will be gaged on what you’ve already eaten.
• We don’t want more than a third of our calories from coming from one meal.
• Don’t skip meals to have calorie available for the meal. You’ll be hungry and it’s hard to not overeat because you’re hungry.
• Take calories and divide by a third.
• The higher fat the heightened calorie.

• Fat-free dressing may be available.
• Some restaurants may offer min deserts or to split the dessert.
• Try to plan ahead if you know where you are going.
• if you go to the same places frequently then you can plot out what to each and each time you go there you’ve already know what you can eat.
• Website: halfydiningfinder.It’s run by dietitians. Will give what eating establishments offer healthy choices. Gives distance and price. And how many healthy items there are at that location.
• As you choose food, see what sites that you really like and chose those and resists items -that you don’t like as much.
• Maybe use a smaller plate.
• Holiday season the average American gains .8 pounds.
• 2800 calories eat above your needs.
• If you treat the holiday as one day and overeat then you can be ok but the others days keep to your goals.
• Stay conscious of your habits.
• Enjoy that one day, but get on track immediately the day after.
• Make a plan that will help to compensate for your weak areas.

Here are some notes from church

• We make a convenient at baptism. We think it is our selves. It included serving others and it not just about ourselves.
• Putting on the name of Christ means we serve our fellow man.
• We have a natural instinct to serve ourselves from a baby’s cry to be fed. We need to overcome our own temptation to serve just ourselves but to also serve others.
• We need to serve our fellow man without acknowledgment. That goes against the full order of charity.
• How often have we not thanked God or Heavenly Father for what they have done?
• Parable: Christ returns to the earth where he will separate the righteous from the wicked. Christ will see righteous, those who fed or helped the needy. Do to others is the same as did unto Christ.
• Find time and make an effort to serve even when it feels uncomfortable.
• Even those who disagree with you and your opinions are working the same as us toward eternity and we need to acknowledge their worth and serve them.

Good: incapacitate

Bad:   incompasitate

I have two areas of this word that I trip over. Cap and Sit. So maybe this will help. To inCAPaCitate I need to cap or cut off one’s ability.

Another idea is to cap or stop one’s defense inCAPacitate.

• What do you know of the savior Jesus Christ? Man died and went to a room to be interviewed. Another man in the room asked: “What he knew of Christ. The man answered and talked that Christ was the savior, the son of God and other details. He told interview all he knew. A second man also died and the interviewer in the room asked the same question. The second man dropped to his knees saying “My savior.” He recognized him.
