Saw another loss at the scale last week! .8 pounds this week. It feels good to be consistently loosing. This week, however, my activity has dropped off a little. My walking buddy was injured, so couldn’t walk this week. I definitely don’t walk as far, or as fast without her :/ But, I still got out and walked every day, so I call that an accomplishment. 
My home group is studying the book Made to Crave: Satisfying Your Deepest Desire with God, Not Food. It’s a great book. It’s written for women, but the guys are reading it too 
Whoa.
That is definitely something to chew on. She also talked about the fact that Desperation leads to defeat, and how that affects our eating. When we don’t plan for events, like needing snacks while out, or planning our meals we end up so hungry that we don’t care how bad it is, we’re just going to eat it. This is why meal planning is so important. She suggested planning out your whole day in the morning. I think I’ll try a little of this this week, but I’m not sure how it will work for me, because I like to be kind of flexible during the day. I already know what I’m having for dinner, so at least that is in my mind during the day. We’ll see.
There’s my nuggets for this week
- Plan my days more consistently
- Get a “go bag” for when I will be out and have snacks pre packaged to take with me
- Exercise every day M-F, with some running involved
- Complete the Duck Run (probably a duck walk for me) on Saturday
- Try one new recipe
Here’s the menu:
Monday: Smothered Chicken and Fried Eggplant
Tuesday: Chicken Dinner in the Happy Pot
Wednesday: Breakfast for dinner
Thursday: Chicken and Rice, Baked Apples
Friday: Burgers and Fries
Saturday: Tacos
Sunday: Snack Dinner
Great post Semalee!!! And congrats on that weight loss! Keep up the good work!
