Tuesday, October 20: Preparation

[gitfiddle]

There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure.

This isn't a lifestyle that takes care of itself while I'm off doing fun things. I have to do the groundwork and make sure that's a priority.

Breakfast will be a protein shake. Lunch will be sausage and carrots. Snack will be jerky. Dinner will be leftover beef and vegetables.

What do you have to do to make sure your program hums along while you deal with the rest of life? :)

I need to make sure I keep a supply of ready to eat stuff that's on the plan 'cause when I feel like I could eat the refrigerator, it's good to have things I can just eat with no worries. Frankly, I hate that "Oh why did I eat that carby thing???" feeling. It took a long time to learn that if I just eat something good for me, that carby thing stops calling my name...;)

Breakfast was a protein shake, lunch was left over wings. Carol, you are so right...I don't need and excuse for those.:nod: They were so good - I gotta do that more often!

Dinner will probably be a steak salad.

I think I'm coming down with some sort of flu.... I was able to leave work early and will be curling up on the couch very soon.

I'm not all that worried about what I eat today, I don't have enough energy to care. :( I'm not sticking to 3-1 today but I will keep the carbs down.

Dinner ended up being hodgepodge. Leftover hamburger from the weekend, maple's meatballs, cream of chicken soup, blah blah blah.

Ate too much. I might need to up my lunch a little so I'm not as hungry in the evening.

Made it another day. 3 days under my belt.
