That's all fine and great, but I STILL haven't sat down and counted calories to make a plan. That's important because I find that when I don't have concrete, measurable goals, I find it's ok to have a bowl of cereal at 7:30pm because there are not clear indicators of whether that is going to derail my efforts or not.
I've been struggling with if I should eat clean or if I should simply stay in my calorie range while still allowing myself treats. That's something that Lean Bodies Consulting does. They allow for a post-workout treat.
I have been allowing for two or three treats during the day and I'm not measuring if it's making any change.
So I'm thinking I need to bring it down to ONE treat, once a day.
Then I can start really measuring whether or not I'm making progress.
Chances are, right now I'm not.
I do need to celebrate that yesterday after work I REALLY wanted something that would hurt my goals. I wanted Chick-Fil-A or a soup from Wegmans. However, I made the decision to drive home and have chicken with salad and a sweet potato. It worked! It did the trick.
Now I can build on that success!
