I was reminded today why fast food hasn't been a problem for me recently: I live very close to work now. When I had a commute, I'd stop for coffee and a treat on the way in and a sandwich or burrito or something on the way home, plus often going out at lunch. (All of which I couldn't afford either in calories or dollars.) For a couple of years now, it's a shorter distance to just go home. Today I had a meeting across town and before I knew it I started thinking about where I could stop for food on the way back. I had a packed lunch waiting for me back at the office and I DIDN'T stop but I realized how hardwired I still am to find any opportunity to eat.1 -
I did well last week, but need to do it again until it becomes habit. Plus one.
1. Take snacks to gym.
2. Plan ahead meals for heavy exercise days.
3. Plan a treat for each week.
Monday - ate planned meals - done.
Planned treat - pastry at Czech festival Saturday.
Tuesday - ate 2 snacks on way home, struggled, but in the end, I won!
Wednesday - ate as planned
Thursday - lunch was 900 calories! Instant fail! But wait. I had all those exercise calories, maybe I can
Still salvage the day, even though I definitely failed lunch.
Cjsacto, as soon as I ever get these mastered, I am going to steal one of yours, 2 veggies/day.
Molly, I am already working on better/more sleep. Believe it or not, I don't like fast food. Hate French fries.
Need to add house cleaning, but I don't want to, so probably won't. Lol!

-- Water: 4/7
-- Vegetables: 4/7 today 2.5 servings, plus didn't count onions, and not sure whether to count avocado as fruit or veggie (fruit: 1 banana, a few blueberries) Do you count onions as a vegetable serving? I had a lot (cooked).0 -
Happy Friday Everyone!!
Molly has been a bad bad girl this week
It was customer service appreciation week at work and everyday we had junk at work. Started with a Pot Luck Wed, we had left overs from Pot Luck Thurs and bagels today, etc. I forgot what they had Tuesday. Needless to say they I am counting Tues, Wed and Thur as junk and fast food days because we had so much excess stuff!! I must say at least it was goooood but not good on scale so today back on track to see if I can rebound enough for Monday weigh in to maintain. lol I plan to be on track tomorrow and Sunday but I know I will gain on Monday but weighing in regardless.....
Have a great weekend!!

Sleep is so important, it can mess us up. Great job bouncing back and nice loss!1 -
Thanks @cjsacto! I know you are right, because I know I do better when I am getting in those zzzzz's lol I make better choice and I am just able to resist those bad foods and I have more energy to move more too.
