Failing to plan

is planning to fail. More than just a saying – it’s what gets me off track each time.

Example: Monday I stayed on track (on program)  through dinner time. Then, having no menu/meal in place. I began to snack as I worked through what I might eat. As I grazed on left over ham, chips and other things not conducive to losing weight, the spiral began. By the end of the day, I had consumed all my daily point, my left over weekly points, and ate into my activity points (which I try really really hard not to do).

Today is a fresh day, and so far it’s going well. Mostly because I am planning my meals and snacks bur also because I looked at yesterday as a lesson to learn from.

Figuring Out Technology

I’m trying hard to figure out how to transfer my  posts from the Bob Greene Best Life web site to here so I don’t have to double post, but so far to no avail.

Also trying to figure out how to upload photos. Maybe I’ll have time to do that this weekend?

So what do small changes look like?

Every diet article/blog/website I’ve ever visted advises that you begin by making “small changes.” But what exactly does that mean? . Does it mean eating one Big Mac instead of two?  Chossing a parking space that’s three spaces further from the door? Haivng a glass of wine with dinner every other night instead of every night? And what is you do make small changes? How many do you need to make to have it be “worth it?” And what does being worth it mean?
