While I haven't decided if I'm going to try this 100% with jar and all, I think there's some good things suggested in the steps that she shares. Writing down what you are going to eat 24 hours in advance and not straying from that is a pretty good advice. I used to do that and I was less likely to stray from what I had planned. While I was listening to this podcast, it was a great reminder for me of what I need to do for myself.
While I think I've decided not to focus on getting rid of all of the carbs in my house right now, I am going to try to focus on choosing zoodles or spaghetti squash rather than having spaghetti noodles or fettuccine or cauliflower rice instead of regular rice. For the coming week, I will focus on getting more fruits and veggies in my diet along with trying to up my water intake. I think I am going to try some fruit infused water. I think it will definitely help. It sounds funny to say this, but I think the old plan where I could check the box made things easier for me. I felt a sense of accomplishment when they said you need to have this amount of this and this amount of this. I think that visual was helpful for me. So added to my list of goals this week, writing down what I'm going to eat the day before. I think this will help me a lot. I have lots of fruits and veggies in the fridge. I see some "snack plates" on my list for the week along with some wraps for lunch. If I'm putting together my meals at night, then I can track it the night before. It will make a difference. I am a woman with a plan.
While I didn't weigh-in officially this morning, but I did step on my home scale and it showed me down 0.1 so I'm just going to say that it's a maintain. It is important and necessary for me to have some idea of where I am or I won't know how I've done this week. I am determined to see a difference by next week in how I feel in my own body. Here's to a GREAT week ahead! Hope you have one as well!
Good job on getting that baseline number even though it wasn’t your official weigh in!
ReplyDeleteI love your plan for the week! I also find it easier to have my day planned out in advance! That way I know immediately when I start thinking of an extra snack that it will cause me to go over my caloric limit....otherwise I try to rationalize it ‘well I’ll just eat accordingly tonight’.:which never happens....or rather rarely happens!
Looks like you have a good plan in place for the week. Make better choices is a fantastic approach. I don't plan because I will not follow it. Hah!
