If at first you don't succeed, try, try again

Do you ever find yourself starting over with your goals every Monday? An old co-worker of mine and I always joked "New diet starts Monday". Then by Tuesday or Wednesday of the next week we'd say it again. I find myself doing that a LOT. I can't seem to see myself sticking with it for an ENTIRE week. So...I've now decided to take it one exercise, one meal, one healthy snack at a time. One way I've done this is to make sure and make my lunch (including snacks) ahead of time so I don't have a choice other than to eat good. This helps but I must remember to eat those healthy snacks on my breaks. If I don't eat enough I end up starving by lunch and wanting to overeat. Another friend offered some more good advice. Listen to your body. If you're thinking of going out to eat because of tradition or routine, listen to your body....maybe it just wants an apple or some veggie sticks instead. Just because you're used to going out and enjoy the food doesn't mean you ALWAYS have to. My big kuddos to myself is I am GREAT with breakfast, always eat a good healthy breakfast, I just tend to eat worse as the day progresses. As you can see,  I am still struggling and any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Maybe tomorrow I will post about some great work out I ending up doing this evening, cross your fingers!
