I am feeling ready for the weekend today. I was up early for my workout this morning, and I wanted so bad just to shut the alarm off and go back to sleep, but I didn't. I just knew if I didn't wake up, I wasn't going to get the workout in today.
I've done well with my eating plan this week. Today is the first day though that I'm feeling some cravings creeping in. I think partly it's because it's close to the weekend and I haven't been eating really junky carbs this week so now I want them and the other part is being tired. My kids made cookies the other day and I haven't eaten one, so I'm hoping they are gone before my cravings really kick in, because if I eat one then I'll just want more. If I can just keep off the sugar then I don't want it, but once I have it I want more.
With this plan my husband looks at the fruits and veggies I eat instead of the junk and thinks it's torture and I actually like it. Last night they all had mac'n'cheese and I had squash, and I enjoyed it, but they thought it was gross. I think the worst part of it all is prepping. Junk food is just so much easier. And when you've eaten it for so long those darn cravings are hard to get over and I do think some of it is the grab and go factor. I just have to remember to prep, prep, prep.
I hope you all are having a great Friday and have a wonderful weekend!!

Eating out is the hardest for me. I'd much rather just stay home because my willpower is much stronger at home. My husband supports me too, so that's helpful, but then he'll do things like decide he wants Dairy Queen in the evening, which he knows I have a hard time turning down. But that's not his fault, I can say no, it's just that much harder. Temptation is everywhere, we just have to learn how much we are going to give into it and take those victories when we can resist it.

Prep, you're right! So much effort. Luckily my partner is on a similar page, except for weekends after a1C tests before starting next 90-day session. I was joining those splurges, but sometimes it was just so hard to get back off sugar again. Managed fine this last time, and did only 2 days instead of the full long weekend, and signed up for FS right away.
How do you figure out what to prep, and what kind of timing?

Prep is rough for me too. And, it helps me to not think in either do great or bad. Sometimes, I do give in a bit and ten I go back on.

T8U9- I look at my week and what I'll be doing, and ask my family for meal ideas for dinner. I honestly usually have the same breakfasts, lunches, and snacks for the week, so that's pretty easy. I will try to cut up some veggies and maybe fruits, and have frozen fruit. When I have my dinner ideas I try to keep in mind things that they are going to eat and where I need to adjust, like eating a taco salad instead of having a tortilla and cutting out some of the cheese and sour cream. Just small things like that. Making sure I have enough fruits and veggies to keep me out of any possible junk food catastrophes is the main thing. :) And if I have my food with me at work, then I tend to eat that and I'm really cheap so I don't want to go get other food if I have something already prepped and it might go to waste. The most awesome thing I found was some Tupperware containers that keep my fruits and veggies fresh all week. They are actual Tupperware, my friend sells them, and they are amazing. I recommend them to anyone looking to keep lettuce crisp all week.
