I never meant for it to be this long between posts, but if it proves my thoughts to be true - I just sort of want to be an ostrich with its head in the sand about this whole weight loss/healthy living journey -- I've not lost any weight in a couple of months. As a matter of fact, I think I've gained about five. I have still been working out most days, but my eating has been out of control. I can't quite figure out why the binges and terrible choices. A lot of it can be attributed to eating out, stress, not being prepared...I could go on and on with the excuses, but that's all they are - EXCUSES. I go to bed every night lately with all intentions of refocusing the next day - rinse and repeat - it has been going on for a couple of weeks now.
I hope by writing out my thoughts with this struggle and I can refocus and make a plan to regain control of my eating and shift back to a more healthy approach.
So, here's my plan:
- Log every bite - "good" or "bad" into MyFitnessPal app
- Exercise six days a week
- Stock my fridge/pantry with healthy choices
- Limit eating "junk" food to one meal per week
- Limit alcohol consumption
- Add weight training (would really love to add a trainer to help w/this)
- Meal plan
- Meal prep
- Eat breakfast
- Maintain my calorie goal (per MFP app) daily
Most of these have been what has worked for me over the last year plus and helped me to lose the weight so far.
In the meantime, I need to remember how far I've come. I still have a long way to go...but, I'll get there -- day by day. If you have any suggestions, feel free to leave me a comment.
