Thank goodness for unpacking the car and putting the groceries away when we got home from the city, or I would have never made the 10,000 steps.

"Make the choices during the planning stage...you plan it out! You don't wait until your only option is a fast food restaurant. It's too late then, Whitney. You're not that strong. Don't leave it to willpower."
That was Will talking to Whitney in My Big Fat Fabulous Life. He is an excellent coach and will not listen to anymore excuses. And man, is she full of them.
For me, I like his style. I wish I had him as a coach. In the meantime, I will take his advice to heart and think that he was speaking to me.
Willpower...for me, that is why I cannot have certain foods in the house. I have no willpower.
I made five mason jar salads on Sunday to use during the week. Made up chicken breasts so I had some good protein. Last night...tired after work, had a mason jar salad and added avocado and chicken. Delish. Did my planning on Sunday...and it meant there were no choices to make...the decisions were already made when my resistence was low. Happy and proud me.

My baby granddaughter's first birthday party - Saturday and my other granddaughter's third birthday party - Sunday! So a round of golf before we go to the party (unfortunately with a cart!) will help get some steppin' in...

I ended up being a total slacker about getting on here. I've been trying to focus on better eating and getting my house and office in order. Wasn't really watching my miles, but did wear my fitbit every day and came to a total of 90.94 miles. That was better than last year (83.40).1

You were still moving to make 83.40. I am going to believe you were thinking about being here even if you didn't come here everyday... 0
