Tough Times call for Tougher Resolve

So many different things going on right now for me.  Most of them negative or at a minimum stressful.

Tomorrow is the beginning of a new week, a new month and for many a new semester.  Beginnings can bring stress and stress can bring poor coping habits.

New can also help establish a line in the sand to help us walk away from the past and old choices and attitudes.  A fresh start with no failures or troubling acts.  I can do this!

This new time can also lend a helping hand with a consistent schedule.  No more vacays or visiting family to distract us and tempt us.  Now we can focus and prioritize!

Traps Everywhere

Car trips, family gatherings, work conferences, date night (if I remember correctly), all have food in common...or at least they do for me.  And they all wreck havoc on weight management plans.

Even having a plan sometimes is not good enough.  That being said, a plan can still benefit you.  Being food from home will make it less likely that you will consume "food traps" like office donuts.

If you make it all about will power, there is a greater than zero chance that you find failure or at least a heaping helping of calories.

Watch out for traps this week! 217.0

Tough Trip

On Saturday, I was in a car for 9+ hours.  It turned into a 6+ hour snacking frenzy.  My weight is up a little, but I didn't weigh today.  I have my kids in town and I am working on being a good model for them.  Hopefully, I can plan and fix good food choices for us.

Upcoming Challenges

The next week or so will be a little crazy.  A very busy schedule followed by hosting my kids.  It will have all kinds of traps for bad eating and unhealthy choices.  No excuses though...I am admitting that I know it's coming.  Now what will I do about it?

When you have social events or stressful times ahead plan out meals and activities in order to keep up with your healthy habits.  Also, have a conversation with company or others to let them know your expectations of yourself.  It will increase accountability and help them understand why you are choosing what you are choosing!
