I have to say, I am honestly looking forward to the reliable schedule of the work week. I love my weekends from a relaxation standpoint, but the food is SO hard to manage! I have done well these first couple of days because there is a nice novelty factor involved. When the novelty wears off and I really start getting sick of this, I have a feeling that weekends will become harder and harder.
One of the things I learned from past successes is that planning really is key. We went out to Applebees this weekend and I didn't bother to look at the menu. I knew exactly what I wanted/needed and ordered it. Looking at the menu can detract from the plan. Words like cheesey, gooey, succulant, and such can really make my resolve waver, so I choose not to even go there. It's much easier to read those words at home and not have to worry about impulse taking control. This weekend was planned very well. Hopefully, I can continue that line of thinking. It worked well for me in the past. Thankfully, this is one habit I don't think I'll have trouble picking up.
On the bright side, the work week is starting and it's back to being at home full-time. I don't expect any spontaneous trips to the office for quite a while, so that makes it easier on me. I am trying to approach this week with a positive attitude about everything. Change of attitude, change of mind, change of body.
Keep on keepin' on is my motto today.
Love the motto! ;)
