My goal for this weekend is to record everything I eat. I have FatSecret on my phone as well but somehow, I always just forget to record what I put in my mouth. I think that if I prerecord everything, I will be more accountable. For example, if I see a cookie that I really want, first I have to put all the information in my phone and wait 10 minutes. If that doesn't make me not want the cookie, then we'll talk but I have a pretty good feeling that will help with all the mindless snacking.
I know it's a simple goal but I think it will also be a meaningful one that will help a lot. Especially because my exercise is so up in the air with this foot injury, being more mindful of what I eat is pretty vital right now. I'm so used to being able to eat what I want but I've noticed that even with a week off of running, I've kept the same caloric intake but decreased my burn and the bikini body is NOT looking good.
The overall goal right now is to lose 6 lbs before Spring Break - not enough that I will feel totally confident on the beach but hopefully enough to make a difference. That means eating a CLEAN diet without any processed crap, junk food, things that just aren't good for me. Lots of fruit and veggies and yummy lean protein. No processed, fake food that makes me feel sick afterwards! I've always liked the image that my body is a temple and you wouldn't litter in a temple, right? Right! And just for one day? Let's see if I can go without dessert. This has been such a strange road block for me the past couple of days. I keep thinking no dessert, no dessert, but then someone offers me some amazing Claire's cake or a tasty vegan cookie and I just eat it without thinking. There will always be cake and cookies. For the Rest of My Life. I don't need to eat it all now!
And that's my motivational sign off before going to bed and having healthy and happy dreams tonight. Here's to a happy, healthy three weeks before Spring Break that have lots of good-for-me exercise (no overtraining! no more stress fractures!) and good-for-me food.
