This post will be brief today since I'm a wee bit rushed. Maintaining good eating habits is so much easier at home than when out of town. I will be in the car for a few hours today and I dread what snacking options will be open to me. I certainly don't want to starve but I also do not want to ruin my eating plan either. I already texted my trainer requesting a rigorous workout and she reassured me I will be worn out. That helps my feelings. I will ask her what's good to snack on and what to avoid like the plague. What aggravates me is that most convenient stores do not offer healthy options. I wish they would.
I have a new habit of reading food labels and I am amazed at the "healthy" foods that are loaded with tons of sugar. Maybe I'm being a little too hard on myself about this but I feel it's vital to pay attention to what I put in my body. Honestly, if I'm not "perfect" today I will not punish myself over it. Today is only one day and I can start over tomorrow. I feel I am doing a good job and making the progress I've always wanted. Be well.
I have found carring a lunch box full of fruits and veggies and perhaps a half cup of low fat cottage cheese or a string cheese for a little protein really helps me stay on track and not reach for the unhealthy choices when I do get hungry when I am out and about in the world. It is a learning process and it takes trial and error to see what works and doesn't work. Be gentle with your self I am so proud of you. Keep on keeping on. I also love kipper snacks and they are very filling. I ove the recipe book from the biggest looser they knowhow to make healthy food taste great.
