Do you ever wonder why we fail to follow the plan that you know will work. For me sometime it is two things wanting everything to be perfect and just plain lazy. Hey I am only telling the truth. Yesterday I read all the materials from Weight Watchers that was the first time I did it. I was looking for the fast way to lose weight and it was not there.
I know I have said this a million times planning is everything. I am sitting here this morning with no plan. Food plan that is because I Tina was to lazy to go to the store last night for breakfast items. Yes, now we are getting ready to go to church hungry not a good way to start my healthy eatting plan. I used up all my planing the last two weeks when I lost nothing at all. I did have a cup of coffee today and glass of water.
When I get home today I am pulling out the calendar to see what my week looks like. It will be a busy one that is for sure. One thing for me to remember is to set time aside to have a meal not at my desk.
Ready set let the journey begin.

TGIF - Up at the crack of dawn
Today is Friday, I would still be in bed right now, but the dogs had to go out. As I have been googling and reading books on weight lose they talked a lot about sleep. It is true what they say about not having enough of it. The longer I stay up the more I want to eat. So a good 8 hours of sleep helps the body. Can someone tell my dogs and body that. It is 4:41 a.m. on a Friday morning. Oh and something else about this Friday as well. If the scale is not broken at my house, which it my be since it is really old. I might have lost two pounds. We all will know on Saturday for sure.
Oh just a note, last night I was sipping water late. Which I drank almost 50 ounces thank you very much. Back to my note be prepared to be up all night going to the bathroom. So I can tell you today I am tired. With tired comes being lazy, here it is again no plan. When oneself is tired I sure do not think of cooking. I hate them fast food places.
There is a book or video I recommend, called Super Size Me. This will really wake your eyes up to fast food. My kids have been in heaven with all the food I have been cooking and they have helped in the kitchen to.
On last thing the Weight Watchers Oatmeal Banana Bread Recipe. It was good, but nothing like have a real piece of Banana Bread lets just say. This is going to be hard find things that taste good, but good for you. This will pose to be very hard for me since I can't have a anything with nutria sweet. My body, gets really sick on this stuff. So I have to find food that leaves it out, which is most diet stuff. I am finding that cooking with a lot of herb has been good.
It is time for me to start and indoor garden. What a great idea, stay tuned for that one.

The gym
I have to confess, I own a membership to the gym. Now, I go but not faithfully and I know the work out is not very good because I have not lost any weight doing it. My family said it is because I act like I am taking a stroll and not really working out. So it has been almost a week and have not set foot in there. Every night seems to be packed full of things to do. So I have set my mind to start going. I need to do at least 30 min. no less than that.
Tonight I will have to miss again. So like I said planning has everything to do with making changes in ones life. So I have it on my phone reminder and off to the gym I will go. I have to go because Saturday is weight in day at GNC. So I might even hit the gym before then. I let you all know of course. What was I thinking when I decide to do this during the holidays. Well till tomorrow, Oh and I will let you all know how my healthy dessert came out to.

We want things now
Have you ever thought why we don't take time to enjoy life. In today's time we are all hurry do this and hurry do that. To go to bed and start this all over again. What happen to fellowship and spending time with the family. It has been replaced with computers, cell phones and fast food.
Fast food is not good for you. When I was doing weight watcher I found out that one stop at sonics made all my points for the day. Just one stop for something fast. See here again is when one has no plan for anything one is sure to fail. Today take time to plan just one day of meals. JUST ONE. I have to teach my self this. If I do the whole week I get frustrated and quick. Baby step. The bible says: I gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready for it. Indeed, you are still not ready. (1Cor3:2) So just do one meal even if it is for next week. Make sure it has breakfast, snack, lunch and dinner and snack. There will be one day that is stress free because it was planned.
Today, I am going to slow down. The kids and me are going over to a friends house after dinner. I have my recipe for a healthy dessert. I will post it if I like it. Today slow down have a healthily meal and sit at the table with you family. Turn off that TV, there is nothing you have to watch that replaces time with you family. For some this may be different, but in a few day's they will get use to it. Oh one more thing have the kids leave the cell phone in their room. There is nothing more annoying as when you are trying to talk and they are texting. You'll see a difference in everyone.

Be prepared for day's like this
STRESS! There is no good way to say it, but plain stress. I am a stress eater big time. Today was a great example of what not to do when stress hits. I shoved food in my month with not even realizing how much I consumed. They are not lying when they said comfort food. So now this is a hurdle I am going to have to think about and have a back up plan. And then on top of all that I had no time to eat lunch. So what do you do you grab what is quick like the candy bar.
Plan,plan, and plan more. You need to plan your day, plan your meals,and plan, plan, plan. It is like when you have no set goal in life. You have nothing, but a huge void, with no direction. No wonder I set my self up for to fail.
I have no planned dinner time, no planned menu, no planed anything and then there is just plain stress of what to do with no plan.
What I need to do is have a drawer full of health snacks for day's like this. When I have been booked solid with calls and the stress hits. So look I have another short term goal. Let me search for some healthy snack I can save in the drawer. Stayed tuned for Snacks list to have on hand.
