I am trying to get more involved on 3FC in hopes that it will keep me motivated since i just started my diet. So i think that i will post discussion questions everyday. I hope lots of people participate and I hope everyone enjoys reading others opinions as I do!! My first question was about "Scale Rules" today is about "Key to Success". To ME, this means "what needs to happen on any given day/week to keep me successful with my diet?" Here are my top 3...
#1 Drinking all my water +64oz. This keeps me satisfied during the day and i feel better the next day too!!
#2 PLANNING MY MEALS. i am an OBSESSIVE PLANNER. I have an entire binder full of calendars, daily to do lists, exercise calendar, weight calendar, food logs, grocery shopping lists, ETC, ETC ETC!! Pretty much the day before i will plan my meals (3 meals) plus 3 snacks. I usually have a couple extra points (i am doing WW) which i can do what i want with. I usually stick with breakfast and lunch, dinner always seems to switch but it all depends on what i am feeling like at that time!
#3 Having food in the house. I find that if i am limited on food choices that i get discouraged and when i eat that meal it is not as SATISFYING. I try to keep 3-4 different meal options ( this included breakfast, lunch, and dinner meals) so that if i don't feel like eating that meal i had planned, i have other choices that will satisfy me.
What needs to happen to make your day successful???? And you can measure success however you want.. it could be seeing a drop on the scale, feeling satisfied with the day after its over, or waking up feeling energetic and motivated for the coming day!! maybe that will be the next question hehe
