My week goes so much more smoothly if I plan my menu for the week on Saturday morning and follow it up with grocery shopping. My Saturday shopping time was a little different than normal this week so I was out of sync for the rest of the week but I wrote out my menu for the next few weeks and I feel much better about it. Plus it is so much better on my budget!
Tracking is such an easy thing to do. You can do it from your phone for goodness sake. But it's also easy to put it on the back burner. I need to make sure I'm tracking everything I eat even if I think I have it all pre-planned.
When I'm having one of those stressful days and really just want to sit and have a beer with the hubby then I should grab for one of these. They're half the points of a Miller Light and they taste pretty good.

NSV (non scale victory): I fell off the wagon but I didn't go on a binge so I guess thats good. Plus I've still passed up that drive thru on the way to work! So that counts for something.
I like that recipe! My family is coming here for Christmas, so I may very well be making that!
ReplyDeleteI didn't have a loss this week. :/ However, I did look at the graph of my entire weight loss journey and it's been a somewhat steady decline. 5 pounds a month? It just always seems so slow...
