Planning is a HUGE step for most of us and even when we aren't able to stick to our planned menus for one reason or another, having planned the day is still a big help.
Ha! This is making me think ahead to the NEXT challenge... I have gotten pretty good at planning out great menus. Then life intervenes ... When to exercise (seems like I'm always too hungry or too full - then not hungry at all for hours *after* exercising)? When to eat if I'm not hungry at the planned eating time - do I cram in two meals and a snack worth together later? How to eat the planned meal if I end up being away from the planned food?
It's a work in progress, that's for sure. Next challenge, I am going to have to focus on eating ONLY what was planned
