BTW who has some quick and easy ideas for breakfast, maybe things I can make ahead of time and then heat in the morning. I'm not a morning person and have a long commute so cooking in the morning (except weekends) is a no-go. I think I will die if I eat anymore cheese
tehlish - I've had to be very creative with breakfast since I can only have eggs 2-3 times a week (high cholestrol). I only have them about 2 -3 times per month though! I'll have cottage cheese and melba toast or cinnamon toast. Sometimes I mix pinneapple supplement in with the cottage cheese - almost like a jello dessert. Quick and easy! But my favorite, now that it's hot, is smoothies. The cookbook is filled with them (let me know if you don't have it), but I get creative with extracts and invent my own. I love to throw a couple teaspoons of decafe coffee granuals in there to make it feel like a latte. The cottage cheese added to any smoothy recipe gives it a really creamy & rich texture. Plus it's easy to drink while I'm getting ready. Don't forget to grab toast or melba. I keep thinking it's a meal replacement drink and leave out my much loved startch.
Well, I sucked it up and weighed in today. I knew it would be bad. I didn't have good choices at the wedding, had a little slip on Monday night and a little slip last night. I won't go into my slips (sometimes reading about the food makes me want to eat it so I don't want to cause anyone else to stumble). Let's just say, last night I missed an exit and choose to go past one more exit before my U turn. Grr!
I could blame it on TOM and the fact that I weighed in after my workout this morning instead of before, but I know it's my own fault. So I'm going to take the hit and adjust my ticker up the 4 lbs. On the bright side
for those who struggle to be perfect, just know that I'm not. It has taken me a lot longer to get here, but I'm still arriving to the finish line.
Donuts always told me it's not the mistake that's important, but how quickly you recover. So, strive for staying 100% OP, but when you trip (and know that it will take you 3 days to get back into fat burning mode), just get up and get back OP. I took today off, so I have a lot of time to reflect on what I'm doing. I have to honestly say my trip was more about keeping me from reaching my goal than will power. I desperately wanted to get to stabilization by my 43rd birthday on Sunday. So now I have to do a little refresher on the emotional side of eating, because after 10 months - I certainly know how to do the plan!
I am still such a work in progress!!
There have been some great success and postive chatter on here the last couple of days. Keep up the great work everyone!!
