FlyLady and Get rid of Body Clutter, the Gluten-Free Way

This is an update of an earlier post.

FlyLady, Marla Cilley, is a most amazing woman. You must go to her website http://www.flylady.com/

"You can do anything for 15 minutes!" she says, and shows how to reclaim your life from cluttered home, finances, body and mind, one babystep at a time. Over 500,000 people are signed up on her Yahoo Group!

I discovered this site a couple of years ago, and it's made such a difference. I come from "all or nothing" thinking, perfectionism; this can be paralyzing when it comes to getting things done. I'm learning that "routines" and "structure" are not words of doom. Slowly, I'm learning. One of these days on my RoadWriter website, I'll share my experiences with the FlyLady team.

The connection to this blog is Leanne Ely, CNC aka The Dinner Diva. Her Saving Dinner site helps with meal planning, shopping, prep, and more. She's got several options of plans; the Low Carb and Body Clutter menus come with Gluten-Free instructions.

I ordered Leanne's Gluten Free menu mailer e-book (fairly new, I believe, as a stand-alone item). No nonsense, but lots of good advice about nutrition, some brand names of GF foods she uses in specific recipes, easy to follow portion control chart -- how much is a serving of meat, for instance? About the size of the palm of your hand.

Also included are Shape Up plans to help get rid of that body clutter. Worth checking out -- both FlyLady's site and Leanne's Menu Mailers and the rest of her ideas. (Note -- I linked to the GF ebooks via FlyLady's newsletter; sign up at her site below. Leanne's GF ebooks are a little hard to find on her site, but persevere -- I'll add the direct links shortly. It's a little more effort to tool around, but you'll find good info to jump-start your thinking about meal planning and eating sanely.)

Let me know what you think, after you've followed it for a while.
