Pre-plan stages

So the holidays are here and I took a trip home, which usually throws my whole schedule off. Between sleeping, eating, writing, and exercising, there just isn't a whole lot I do well when I'm at home. Plus I tend to have a couple of drinks here and there. 
So today was my first full day back in my own town, back to work at my full time and part-time job. 
I didn't have high expectations for mysf because I didn't prep any food. 
However, I am pretty proud of myself for simply exercising the ability to make choices. I read something in a Brian Tracy book this morning that really helped. I'll share that sometime, but not tonight. 
Today, my little victories were making good choices when it would have been SO EASY to fall into my familiar pattern of eating for comfort. But I didn't do it. And, I chose not to have any alcohol. Two wins!
Well, I guess I did eat a little bit for comfort today. Just for honesty's sake, I'll ADMIT to what I ate. 
9am Panera blueberry bagel and cream cheese with coffee (milk and one sugar)
2pm slice of turkey, cup+ of green beans and cup+ of Mac and cheese--all from Wegmans. Yep...it was a compromise because I chose the turkey and green beans instead of the soup and pizza. The unfortunate thing was that it wasn't enough food and I stated hungry after I ate. So I had a chocolate. And dealt with the hunger.  I was surprised at how intolerable I found it. Eventually, I remembered I would be ok.
5pm Green Bowl. 3oz pork, spinach, squash, mushrooms, onion, broccoli, carrots, one scoop pineapple curry, one scoop teriyaki, one scoop sesame oil. 1 cup brown rice. Yum. 
7:30pm 3oz chicken, spinach, carrots, squash, mushrooms, broccoli, kidney beans, one scoop sesame oil, 1/2 cup white rice
10:30pn two chocolate peanut butter meltaways. Mmmmmmm. 
Anyway. I still need to create a plan and get ready for it...well by Sunday I need to be ready for WEEK ONE!

Kickoff 2014

My very first video!  This is so much fun!
Here's what I'm working on for today:
My meal plan/calorie plan and how it progressively gets cleaner.
My daily routine/checklist.
My goals:  fitness (unassisted pull-ups, for sure!); body fat; diet compliance.
Also, some R&R with my Martha Beck books. :)
