It’s harder than I thought… but it has to be done…

People have been asking me- how do you stick to your plan? Well the answer is… I do… mostly. And it’s showing on the scale. Yikes! I had to face the fact that in the last month I could have lost more, had I followed the plan religiously. Soooo frustrating. However, along with my growing pains (or shrinking pains), I’ve also made some really positive changes. For example, I was eating out a restaurants 24/7. Now I eat at home, or if I have to eat on the go, I’ll grab and go fruit, veggies, and proteins from Kwik Trip. I also keep my supplements in my car so I have them on hand all the time.

Today, I made a food plan for the week. It was hard at first but not terrible. So this week, I am focused on eating more seafood, adding in brown rice, and making smart choice with fruits and veggies. Actually cooking is teaching me about appropriate portion sizes… and they are much smaller then the ones I ate in the past. If you think about it, restaurant food portions are XXL. And if you don’t want to be, XXL, you need to adjust accordingly!

My goals for this week include weighing in 5 times; following my PT plan; cooking every night; and making sure my portions are in check. Food scale, anyone? Sometimes, you have to carry it with you.

Do you have any other suggestions to keep me motivated? I’d love to hear them! Message me or comment below!

Everybody’s working for the weekend, Meg 😉
