I have realized that I need to have a plan. If I have a plan - I stick to it. If I don't make a point to plan something I am more likely to fall off track. For example, when I look ahead to what I'm going to eat - I make good decisions. When I don't, I don't make the best decisions. That was yesterday. I knew I had to go on a long trip for a meeting and that I would be late for dinner but I didn't think ahead with a plan. I stuck to my 3pm snack per the usual, but by the time 8pm rolled around I was starving. When you are on the road and its late - I found myself having a hamburger. Eeeks. The only upside is that it fell within my calorie allowance. In fact, I was about 100cals under. Go me. So that just means I am going to step it up with my walk tonight -- go 3 miles instead of just two and add in more jogging. Also, makes it so I am going to really watch my eating. I am forgoing the 1/2 Turkey 1/2 beef burgers that everyone is having and having a salad with turkey. Luckily, I love how the salad tastes and how filling it is for so few cals!
I have an early meeting in Chesapeake tomorrow - so I have to think ahead about that. Old Brandy would just say, eh I'll have a fast food breakfast on the way there. This Brandy thinks she might have a turkey bacon and egg on a whole grain english muffin and pack a snack! Making the right decisions feels so much better than eating a McDonald's cheeseburger tastes.
