- I promised SB I'd start back 'on plan' on May 1 (after tax season). I think I'll round that up to Monday, and have my WI day the same as dinah's. This may help me NOT overindulge on weekends. May.
- Must wean myself off my recently re-developed caffeine addiction. Back to CF and herbal tea for this girl, and water with meals
- water. Must drink more water. I don't know how I can 'forget', but I sure seem to. I might invest in a water cooler for the basement, so I don't dehydrate in the evenings (as is currently the case).
- I've started eating more veggies again. A bag of baby carrots yesterday, a container of grape tomatoes on Sunday. See a pattern? They might as well be pringles - bet I can't eat just one :P
- After tonight, the birthday cake and croissants will be finished off (ok, I finished off the croissants this morning), and I'm not making/buying more.
- No more muffins (and Diet Coke... see point #2) for breakfast. Tea, and a ww english muffin or slice of toast w/ pb instead.
- I mentioned a plan way up at the top of this list. Which plan? Not sure. The Chelle plan for now. More water, veggies & fruit. Less crap, especially of the refined carb variety.

I like the Chelle plan so far! Does it also include returning to Curves?
A "plan" is key! :)
Portioning is also a key. Don't leave yourself open to over indulgence. When you get the bag of carrots out of the fridge remove a portion from the bag and put it on a plate or in a bowl. Put the rest of the bag back in the fridge. If you consciously are limiting your intake from the getgo then you're more likely to stay on track. The biggest thing is that you KNOW your weakness (over indulging) so that's half the battle. I can't recommend enough pre-portioning and pre-planning of meals. I find that giving myself free range in the heat of the moment to make decisions is usually detrimental. I'm hungry, I want food and I want it NOW. While something is cooking I'm munching on something to tide me over and then I'll eat all of the thing being cooked too. Pre-cooking is a huge tool in eating on track. When I'm hungry, something is already prepared for me and portioned. I eat it then carry on.
You can do it!!!
good luck chelle! i'm cheering for you. :)
Can I put in a plug for Sparkpeople? A good, free plan. I love it! I need to get back to it, d'oh...
