Around Thursday/Friday, I found myself wanting to start my old habits again. I was exhausted from my first week back to work, my dinner plan on Thursday night didn’t go as planned as my thawed meat did not taste right, so I felt defeated just from that small inconvenience. My ankle and leg have been bugging me again, so I didn’t get as much movement in as I would have liked. By Friday night, I was ready to go out to dinner and have a nice, cold beer.
But I didn’t give up. I’m still learning and I’m still adjusting. I remembered my why. I remembered my goals. I remembered it’s not going to be perfect. So Thursday night, I meal planned and did a grocery order to pick up Friday after work. That is going to be my go to plan. Meal plan sometime during the week, do a grocery order and pick up on my way home from work Friday so I have everything I need to prep for the week.
Yesterday, we did a planned trip to a brewery. I didn’t over drink. I did samples and only ate when I felt hungry. I drank lots of water and let myself enjoy.
Today, I already have dinner in the crockpot, and I meal prepped my lunches and breakfasts for the week.
I am feeling hopeful and optimistic that this group will help me stick with my goals to make them a habit.
Here’s to a great week everyone!
