I keep trying to work on too many things, and without taking cuts to the things I'm enjoying most, I'm not going to make that much progress.
That said, I've still got some things I'm working on that have continued delivering benefits. Mainly, that's my diet.
I'm down another 2.5 pounds from last post! Cumulatively, I've lost 10 pounds since I really started changing up my diet. My two biggest changes were replacing my lunch with a salad, and portion control.
That leads me into another random thought: How I go about modifying my plans to reach goals. I've been doing a bit too much of winging it, and then accepting results. Or, after awhile of getting tired of it because its not working as well as I'd hope, I just drop it entirely. Then, I repeat the process.
To relate this to my diet, I had just come up with a plan of what to eat/how much through the day. I was finding I was getting hungry at parts, and made slight adjustments, but for the most part just stuck with it. This week, I decided to start at a point, and build off of it instead.
I took the biggest problem I was seeing, and tried to address it. I was finding that I was getting hungry between breakfast and lunch, and that was causing me to snack. So, I changed it up and instead of a smaller breakfast, I had a large breakfast. I was quite satisfied after eating (Who wouldn't be with steak and eggs? xD). Next, I had to find out how long I went before getting hungry. Luckily, I easily made it to lunch time.
Combine this with cutting back during dinner, and add in snacks to tide me over until dinner, and I'm feeling like I have a better start to a good diet. Now I can tweak it a bit, and see what I can do with it.
Next thing to address... my lack of getting up and working out. Even though this is about getting in shape, trying to come up with plans isn't working. I've determined that this is a personal lack of motivation, and needs to be addressed as such. I'll work on tackling this, and see where every thing else goes.
Until next time!
