Being Prepared is 99% of My Success!

Posted on July 20, 2014

I'm getting ready to start this challenge. I will weigh in tomorrow and have my son take my picture for me. I HATE doing pictures, but I know it's necessary and I know that they are great for comparisons. I may have him do some profile pix for my own records as well.

Tomorrow I will also do my measurements and body fat percentage.

Today I'm doing my prep cooking and will write my exercise plan for the coming month - I want to ROCK this challenge and get my weight/body fat down - Biggest reason: Hubby and I have an HRA for his work at the end of the month and I want to show an improvement from last year's assessment. I want to do this not only for myself, but to show my husband what hard work and consistency can do.

Another goal I have is to clean up some of my desk areas - clutter in my life has a big impact on my fitness progress - strange as that may seem.

BOOM!

7/29/14 - UGH! Stress really sucks! Finding that I'm wanting to turn to my usual comfort foods, however this time, I'm not 'fighting' it, but rolling with it and using portion control -no binges. This morning's breakfast is a cacao/coffee/fruit smoothie with low carb protein powder. I don't usually like to drink my calories, but I thought perhaps the combination of chocolate and protein would help my stress cravings. We'll see!

7/27/14 - food prep is complete for the coming week once again. Yesterday involved more in the way of nutritional liberties with the grandkids here, bonfire, smores and snacks - But I'm ok with it. I'm sure the scale is going to be up a bit in the am, but I'm already guzzling the water and basically have meal and activities planned for the week. It drives me nuts though when I prepare extra foods for husband, he'll eat it, but then continues to eat the regular amounts of his "bad" foods. Someday, he'll understand, but then it may be too late.

I know exactly what you mean about desk clutter. I have always said that my desk is a good indication of how I feel inside. When I get all I can take, I always stop and clear my desk. It's the way I can find some peace. Funny as it is, it works. I'm working on doing that with my house now. After renovation, wow...there's stuff everywhere. Now to find a place to put it all--now where's that trash can. ;) Good luck!
