Diet stuff
After losing some weight before the holidays, and even some since..I am just back up to the mark I'm always hovering around.
I realize that I'm just having a hard time again with staying the course with whatever health plan I choose, whether it's being grain free for the week, or low carb, or my 4+1 plan (shakes + a meal) or eating clean..I just can't seem to stay committed.
And it's a big waste for me to do the shakes in any half-assed way since they are expensive.
I just can't seem to say no to pretzels or crackers..and hard as I try there is always something snacky around me.
I'm trying my hardest to just do the "one day at a time" thing.
Today I am working on eating protein and vegetables OR shakes. Those are my choices.
So today so far:
1 shake for breakfast
Salmon for lunch
grape tomatos for snack.
I have a cucumber I'm hiding in my bag for the next snack attack.
Here are my "pitfalls" when it comes to eating right:
While I love eating healthy, it seems a bit of a chore.
Lack of convenience. Carrying around a bag of lettuce in my purse.. doens't work.
I rationalize my snackiness. "What is one cracker gonna hurt"?
The other thing I have NEVER managed to pull off, is not eating after 8pm. I need to really work on that.
There are honestly just times I wish that:
1. I didn't obsess over food all day long
2. That I didn't HAVE to obsess over food all day long
3. I didn't have to eat period. What I eat causes me so much aggravation..I wish I just could do away with the whole process. Or at the very least.. hire a chef who will always hand me just the right thing I should be eating at any given moment..
