Sometimes I can be kind of predictable in certain situations; I'm a 'tried and true' kind of person. What does that mean? Well, if I discover something that works I tend to make it my 'go-to' when I come across that situation again. This can be a good or a not-so-good habit. When it comes to my food choices it means I become stuck, no variety and that leads to boredom. Soon ... I find myself not being thrilled with trying to 'change my lifestyle and making healthier choices' ... that's when the mindless snacking comes into the picture.
In a perfect world we would all be able to call our Personal Chef and our Personal Trainer, but the world is not that perfect (at least not mine), so we have to rely on self-discipline, commitment, being true to ourselves and loving ourselves enough to follow through on the promises we made to take care of our Temples (yes ... I like the word "Temple").
Focusing on my portions, sodium and not-so-good carbs. That being said ... my day will start off with a big salad, coffee w/two hazelnut creamers, water w/lemon, a slimfast shake and I will skip the banana. My Kind pumkiny-maplely-seedy thingy will be my crunchy snack; lunch will be my bbq on wheat with Lentil Snaps (Tomato Basil flavor) and dinner will be one of my Beef Merlot Healthy Choice Steamers (love them). I'll be drinking more water w/lemon and a Raspberry Pure Leaf tea. If I'm low on protein, I have my turkey breast (no bread) with cheese to serve as my bedtime Insulin snack.
A little bit of predictable with a touch of variety (YAY ME!!!).
