I love this thread because I get so many ideas for meal-planning and it makes me stop and think about the day before going into the grazing free-for-all

NOT doing well recently but I'm trying not to dwell on it. I'm surrounded by temptations and I am discovering that I have far more food issues than I ever imagined. :(

My plan for the day fell apart after lunch yesterday. I ended up eating handfuls of bite size frosted chocolate mini wheats of all things.I let the stress of babysitting my sick DGS, dragging him to the doctor with DS2 (also sick), and not being able to do anything I had planned, derail me. So, today is a new day and it's a beautiful sunny day. DGS is feeling better and went to preschool.

Aw, thanks! I am on track for now but in a few days I am off on another trip so we'll see if I can hold it together. I have a serious all-or-nothing mindset that I have to overcome - I don't understand why, but once I make a slightly off-plan choice, I feel the need to ensure that I am really, really off plan. Something to work on, for sure.

Yesterday was good. Yay. Ate mostly according to my plan (left some things out, and the only things I added were SBD-friendly and properly portioned). Even went for a run, hallelujah!
