What's the saying? "The best laid plans of mice and men often go astray"
I planned to blog more. I planned to eat clean, consistently, plan and prep daily.
Good stuff:
- lost about 5 lbs
-worked out consistently
-planned meals and packed lunches
Not so good stuff:
-didn't plan enough and didn't pack enough
-still not firing on all cylinders when it comes to eating well
-eating too much of good stuff + little bits of bad stuff
-cheese has to become a once a week treat
-fruit needs to be an every 2-3 days snack
What's next?
It's March. My goal for June is getting closer but I'm not making the progress that I want. It's time to decide what I want to do. Slow and steady ? Take a more aggressive approach to get quicker results? Either way, I need to stop pretending that I'm eating clean and actually do it 99% of the time.
Depends on your current approach? Are you tracking what you eat, or just trying to eat 'good stuff' in general? If not, I'd recommend tracking both calories and macronutrient percentages first. The adjusting based on what you learned. Also, ensure you're getting in both cardio and weights. Sleep well, and you'll meet your goals.
ReplyDeleteI have to admit that I am bad about tracking my food intake. I was on MFP for a while and every now and then I go back to it. I set it to track calories, sugar, fat, protein and carbs. It was good to keep track of carb cycling. To be honest, I was most successful with my weight loss when I was just writing down the food I ate in a small notebook. Super low tech and I didn't track portions but it kept me accountable. Definitely doing weight training (heavy!) and some interval cardio. I try to get my cardio in as metabolic resistance training. Thanks for your comments! I appreciate the positive feedback.
