Wouldn't it be nice if the weight you gained overnight would disappear overnight?! It's so darn frustrating. But as we all know that's just not how it works, much to my dismay. So keep that in mind and do not get discouraged all you need is a plan and a bit of determination.
My plan of attack:
Each week, typically it's been Saturday morning I sit down and plan my menu for the next week (week starting on Monday). I plan what I will have for breakfast and dinner, lunch is generally left overs from dinner, a salad or soup. I have gone so far as to write what we will have each day, not just a generalized list for the week. From those recipes I create my grocery list for the week, and by putting this all together on Saturday I have time to get my shopping done Sunday or even Monday for the entire week. Even with this plan and my menu created life happens and there are days that I can't follow this menu for one reason or another (perfect example is this last week that I was pretty much out of commission with my shoulder). Anything I didn't make this week, I try to carry over to the following week
Another saving grace this past week for me was the fact that I spent a little bit of time last week making egg muffins. I had breakfast for hubby and little man for the entire week already done and cooked, just had to pull them out of the freezer, heat them up and put them on an english muffin! This next week I will be working on making some breakfast burritos and enchiladas to keep in the freezer for quick and easy meals.
Take a few minutes and think about your daily routine. Think of what you can do to help your day start off easier and help keep you on track for your journey!
This is the Year!!
