 | FOR WEEK TWO: I think I need to rethink my goals for this week. Clearly I'm struggling to stick to my nutrition goals, so I'm going to continue with the same:
1. Eat at least 3 vegetables a day (enough to reach the recommended 2.5 cups)
2. Reduce sugars to no more than 15 grams per meal (except post workout) only exceptions will be for natural fruit sources, and only when needed to curb a sweet craving
3. No coffee, nothing carbonated, no alcohol (in fact, no beverages other than water and milk)!!!!!
I wish I could cut out the cheap, spaghettio's crap, so I could feel better about what i'm eating each day, but that unfortunately, isn't really feasible right now. I have been doing a very good job of eating a serving of vegetables with every junky meal though.
This week, I'm going to add the extra rule of:
4. NO CHEAT MEAL(S)/DAY(S) - Normally I would use these as an incentive to eat well throughout to week, but because I'm allowing myself to eat spaghettio's and macaroni and cheese, I see each of those meals as a cheat meal, and therefore, an extra cheat meal is not needed or practical
I seem to be struggling between thinking: I should get back to my healthier eating habits and my biggest problem is water weight, not fat (so, it doesn't really matter what I eat). However, when I think about who I want to be and how I want to portray myself, therein lies my mantra: "Be who you want to be" which, for me, means - eat healthy, eat clean, eat natural, eat a plethora of vitamin rich foods, don't overindulge, make healthy 'indulgent' choices on occasion, eat balanced meals, eat lots of lean protein, and don't be a slave to your cravings. So this week, goal five is:
5. Fight cravings and make smart choices by remembering my mantra: "Be who you want to be" |
