I had a bit of a set back on my exercise routine and eating clean this week. When everything seemed like it was getting too busy, I stopped organizing my meals, going to bed late, I found I fell into my old habits. It was quite noticeable how quickly I felt bloated and yucky. I could tell how much the lack of exercise affected so many things. I didn't sleep as well, so my energy was way down. I Felt sluggish most of the week. I didn't drink enough water. Mostly I was eating on the go, and not staying diligent on my food choices. It is quite amazing how one cookie isn't too bad, but eating just 2 cookies how much it raises your calorie count.
I love to cook, but with closely counting calories, I found just how many calories I had previously packed into my meals with unnecessary calories. Everything doesn't need to be so embellished with extra's like sour cream, guacamole and olives for instant. Previously, I consumed a lot of dairy, and carbs. I have enjoyed trying a large variety of healthier ingredients to my meals to get similar tastes, and still get that satisfied feeling.
A big change I can see in myself is it's getting easier, is just eating what I've planned to eat for the day. I'm staying satisfied longer, and not constantly looking for a little something more to eat.
Even though I have struggled this past week and a half, I haven't thrown in the towel! Right now, I'm really enjoying my life, feeling so much better, I need to remember an extra piece of cake, or pc. of pizza isn't in my best interest. Respect myself, and stay strong!
