A true realization came my way while I was working on a term paper for one of my classes. The assignment had to do with procrastination again. I don't know why this subject keeps coming up but it does. This is the SECOND lengthy assignment I have completed in two classes about procrastination. The first one is posted on my school blog (which I am behind on) at ribboncandy.blogspot.com and is called "The Very Idee".
Anyway, the current assignement has to do with procrastination and planning, how both of them contribute to failure of a project or to its success. I was just typing away when it hit me. It's the missing link in my "get healthy" plan! I remember this working well once before and how I could have forgotton so quickly is beyond me!
I will spend some time (as long as it takes) to put together a total and complete menu for the entire week, recipes and all. I will post it on the frig. I will make my grocery list from the menu and will stick to it. I will each what is on the menu! I will, at the end of everyday be able to see how many calories or points I consumed. This is something that will benefit me immensely even if it sounds a little corny. This is what works for me and it might for you. It just takes a little homework up front but its well worth it. So stay tuned for more and post your own ideas!

Good Idea! It will have to make myself do it, but I know it would help me tons. I may have to set down and give it a whirl. I'm not much of a recipe girl, or, maybe I am. I always take a recipe and work it over to make it my own. Sometimes my menu is determined by how long and how hard of a work day I have had.
ReplyDeleteI have tried to work more fresh fruit and vegetables in to my menu this week. I have oranges and bananas in the fruit basket and fresh salad fixing in the frig. I have also decided to try and eat more lean meat rather than relying on the precooked items we have been having lately. They are just so convenient, dang it. But, I have been reading a lot of labels lately. It info. just scares me.
I still am not succeeding on my water drinking. I think I need to write finish times on my bottles to help me remember my goals. That is just a thought I had today when I noticed my full bottle still sitting on my work table.
I enjoy your ideas. Keep it coming.
