For me, life is all about having a plan. Not necessarily the only plan that will work, but a map or framework on what to do next. But life doesn't always work that way, now does it?
This week started with a huge social event hosted by us...unusual, although do-able, but definitely took over our world...food and alcohol, no exercise, then the aftermath or leftovers, more alcohol.
I am lucky to be playing with a "Let's play 5 weeks, but only count 4" group this time around. So today feels like a totally fresh start. I am on meal #3, my 60th ounce of water and great intentions to walk in this beautiful weather later today. If you looked at what didn't work, well, these meals have been Game On; however, have NOT been delicious (sometimes an item from each food group just has to work instead of being delicious and wanting more), I should be done with all my water at this point and working towards 100 plus, and my personal world is not as peachy-keen as I would hope....but plans can always be adjusted.
I also decided to make things interesting for me by adding something to my Game plan in that I am going to try and cut out sugars...Not fruit sugars...that's ridiculous, but added sugars (candy, stevia, sugar in my extra 100 calories, days off or meals off). Sugary foods make me want more sugary foods. I had coffee today minus my stevia. It was not as wonderful as my coffee with stevia...but I still had my coffee. It will be a challenge, but I think it may be good for me...(and my sister, a Paleo-centric/Cross-fit freak---said affectionately and with some jealousy-- is giving up sugar for 33 days--I join her on the sugar abstinence for the next 30)....
I pledge this game to be my most effective yet....Play to lose, play to win by losing and play for me....because in the end, the plan has to be for you to feel better...play for you and play for me...If your plan doesn't include helping you, it won't work long term for you....Here's to a GREAT week. GAME ON!
