In keeping with the theme of being ready for a change, I am really happy to say that I stepped out of my comfort zone and learned something about myself. 

I am BORED with my food, and that's why it's so hard to stay on my plan. With THAT revelation I began to see the practical application of the idea "make it a lifestyle change". I had been prepping my chicken and salad thinking subconsciously "this is temporary" and therefore WAITING for the day I could EAT AGAIN!

So just recently, I realized that I need to ENJOY cooking for myself, taking care of myself (doing the dishes, grocery shopping, etc) and I need to spend time finding recipes I like. Maybe over time baked chicken and greens will be what I crave, but for now, I've learned I've got to make changes I can stick with. 

Today the thought of, "So I will have to eat this way FOREVER" downright horrified me. And I realized I hadn't made a mindset change. 

So I'm working on that. 

I also realized that I manage my time much like I manage my money: I do what I feel like. So I'm also doing more planning, and most importantly, EXECUTING that plan. That said, it's after my bedtime. Good night!

Everything about my life right now is screaming that I am ready for a change. I've been working too hard and ended up getting sick over the weekend. That never happens. 

But the *change* urge showed up while I was feeling so sick and tired that I couldn't DO anything at the moment. Right now, it's really about wanting my surroundings to be clutter-free and organized, and wanting the same thing for my time. 

For tonight, my food is ready, my gym bag is packed and I'm ready for tomorrow!
