Start of the week: 168.4
Today: 168.0
As you can see, I did not lose much this week. Just a mere 0.4lbs. I think my main problem is having WAY too much going on & trying to focus on too many goals at once. I feel like a juggler trying to juggle too many balls...inevitably some get dropped. Between tracking my food, making healthy dinners, drinking more water, cutting back on fat, sugar, calories, trying to squish in cardio, trying to squish in weights, ect. it's just too much. I have to admit that for right now anyway, I can not do it all & give Carter the amount of attention that he deserves from me. So I have decided I am going to try focusing on changing one thing about my lifestyle weekly in order to help make this a permanent change & not just a "diet."
Right now, I have to be realistic. Exercising SHOULD be a priority, but it's just not. I am either too tired, too busy, or just not feeling it in general. On that note, the change I want to make this week is working on eating more healthy home cooked meals & eating less packaged food. I will try to eat at home as much as possible & try new, healthy recipes each night. I tend to eat a lot of packaged food/snacks during work (convenience) & I plan to replace these this week with fresh fruit, veggies & other alternatives including nuts, yogurt & cheese. Instead of my sodium packed frozen meals for lunch, I will make salads or sandwiches or eat healthy dinner leftovers.
I am making a trip to the grocery store tomorrow & plan to make a list. Now I just need some more ideas for non-packaged snacks.
Anyone have any ideas for healthy non-packages snack options other then the ones I mentioned above? Do you find that setting small goals works better then shooting for everything at once?
