These are my barricades:
Barricade: Being unprepared
Solution: Pack lunch the night before, make a menu for the week, make a grocery list
Barricade: Lack of time to exercise
Solution: Sneak in 10 minute blocks of exercise throughout the workday; plan 30 minutes of exercise when I get home from work.
Barricade: The vending machine at work!!
Solution: Keep wallet in my purse; carry no cash
Barricade: Eating while watching TV
Solution: Save some calories for after dinner, like for a Healthy Choice Premium Fudge Bar or a Weight Watchers Giant Cookies and Cream Bar
Barricade: Eating out
Solution: Limit to 2 times a week max; make good choices
Barricade: My HUGE sweet tooth!
Solution: Low-cal sugar free Jell-O or sugar free pudding
Barricade: Being too tired
Solution: Get more sleep! In bed by 10:30 at the latest!
Barricade: No time for a good breakfast
Solution: Have quick things packed in my lunch cooler, like yogurt and fruit; make something quick to take like peanut butter on toast or hard boiled eggs
Barricade: Feeling unworthy of a healthy body
Solution: Self-pep talks, reading/posting on 3FC and other sites, tracking progress, not only in pounds but in inches and other measurable ways
Barricade: Boredom at work
Solution: Find ways to keep busy; use down time to research web for nutrition and exercise related material; plan menus and grocery lists, sneak in exercise in the ladies room! LOL; plan food throughout the day that keeps me satisfied
Thanks for getting me thinking today!
