You may think that I am being too hard on myself, but I know that doing the opposite of these things can only benefit me and help me work toward my goals, so here they are...
Bad habit #1 - I've been skipping mid-day snacks.
You may not think this on is important, but eating every 2-3 hours is critical for feeding your metabolism to keep it operating most effectively.
Bad habit #2 - I've been eating lunch late.
A few times the late lunch times have been due to work, but on my off days, I have just been preoccupied with other things and forgotten to eat until I'm starving! I need to schedule meals just like scheduling workouts, to make sure I get the timing of fueling and working my body correctly.
Bad habit #3 - I haven't done my workouts first thing in the morning, to get it out of the way, which leads to...
Bad habit #4 - I've been skipping workouts! Ahhh!
True, each day I have gotten my planned activity points on my Nike + Fuel band, but three days this week I have totally skipped my workouts.
THINGS I HAVE BEEN DOING WELL...
2. Prepping foods to easily grab & go!
This week I baked up a great big spaghetti squash, made some HBE's (hard boiled eggs), Jello, zucchini lasagna, and my favorite cole-slaw.
3. I've been trying to not eat any glycemic-heavy foods after 6 pm (I'll talk more about this in a later post).
4. No chocolate!! I normally have about 1/2 oz of dark chocolate
Oohh, tally time! I stopped by the store for a few things today :)
Mini Shopping Trip

Eggs
Total spent $4.40
Monthly budget spent to date $69.26

It's no secret, I LOVE to eat! But one thing that also helps me stay on track is todays...
TIP OF THE DAY
Take pictures of, or have pictures of healthy food around to look at to encourage you to make good choices. I LOVE Pinterest, and a LOT of my boards are for naughty things like cupcakes, cookies, breads, cinnamon rolls, muddy buddies, pies, desserts, etc... BUT I also really enjoy just browsing the images of healthy foods on my healthy boards!
