Hmmmm. I know what I'm doing right.... and I know what I'm doing wrong.
I drink water all day, every day. The "drinking 8 glasses of water a day" has NEVER been a problem for me. I love water. I know I drink about 128 ounces per day (at least four 32oz bottles). So, no biggie there.
For breakfast I try to eat something different every other day or so. One morning I will have Frosted Mini Wheats (good fiber!) with skim milk (good protein!) and another morning I'll have eggs & a slice of wheat toast, and another morning I'll have a fruit smoothie and another morning I'll have peanut butter on wheat.
Dinner is usually a salad (I hate to cook) and sometimes soup.
LUNCH is the hardest meal of the day for me. I usually bring lunch to work; Healthy Choice meals, turkey sandwich on wheat, etc. Or run down to Subway & get a veggie delight (yum!) .... so the ACTUAL LUNCH isn't difficult, but the REST of the work day....people around here are ALWAYS bringing SOMETHING to work.... cake, pie, muffins, doughnuts, etc. Argh!! I wish they'd just STOP DOING THAT! (meany butts!!!)
My exercise habits right now are really pathetic. I'm a normal 4-day a week to the gym kinda gal, but the past few months, I've been lucky to get ONE DAY a week.
And oh, how I loathe myself for that!
BUT... (here's the silver lining!) I know ME. My body, how it works, what it craves, what doesn't make any difference, etc. The one thing that keeps me going? The constant reminder that my body can't do anything good for me if I don't do anything good for it. Losing weight is good -it's healthy (if done properly) and I always feel better for it; both physically & mentally, AND emotionally! So when I get into these kind of "funks" like I've been in for the past few months, I KNOW THEY'LL EVENTUALLY PASS. And I'll be "doin' it right" again & my body will reward itself.
