Preparation for August H&F continues. For how my mind works, it makes sense to group meals into categories -
** Major Meals = 300 calories 30 gram protein
** Minor Meals - 200 calories 20 gram protein
** Mini Meals = 100 calories 10 gram protein
Writing this down here makes it seem way more complex and detailed than it does in actuality.
I am using half size index cards that have a hole to hang on a ring. They are easy to group on ring by meal category and flip through.
They are portable so I can take them to the kitchen as I prep food or use next to laptop for Cronometer entry.
It seems very simple and straight forward in my head.
All I know is I'm not giving up.
If what I am doing isn't working, then I'll try something different.
Keep habits that are helpful. Change what isn't working for me.
As I am deep into the details doing things that make sense to me. I received this message from mentorship -
A healthy lifestyle isn't built by being perfect. It's built by being consistent. There is absolutely room to laugh, celebrate birthdays, enjoy date nights, and even make your meals fun! Whether you're cutting your sandwich into stars, trying a new healthy recipe, or adding a silly face to your snack, enjoying your food doesn't make you less committed to your goals.
Remember, if your weight loss journey feels like punishment, it's going to be hard to stick with. Find ways to make healthy living something you actually look forward to. Smile a little more, laugh a little louder, and don't forget to have fun along the way!
I love that!
