I know, mixed metaphor. But sometimes this is what it feels like.
There are a lot of things I like about the Flat Belly Diet and some that challenge me. For example, it is great that the online website will choose wheat-free (or other option) menus for me, make shopping lists, let me log food. It is challenging that all this is online and I don’t have internet access at home.
This week, I never did get my menus planned for the week, so I shopped without a list and did *pretty* well, but never did get my menus made and found it *challenging* to stay on program.
Last night I stayed on the computer and planned menus for today and tomorrow (yea!). After fixing and eating dinner, making Sassy water, fixing today’s breakfast, lunch and snack (whew!), I got out my Flat Belly Diet book and starting writing menus on neon color coded index cards.
Orange is breakfast, pink is lunch, yellow is snack and green is dinner. I’m thinking if I get enough of these, I can just pull out seven breakfasts, seven lunches, seven snacks and seven dinners. Cards show the total calories for the meal, not all nutrition data.
I’ll still need to log my food as I am famous for making substitutions, but having a plan really helps, makes things less… challenging.
Other than that, doing great. My skirt yesterday had slipped down to my waist by the end of the day. I’ve been wearing it *up and over* my belly (when I could wear it) for a couple years now. Could this be a sign of impending waistline measurement shrinkage??
Stay tuned… LOL
