Everyday Systems

I have found that planning how and what I will eat each day is helpful. I feel overwhelmed and just icky when I don't have a granola bar or apple around in case I get hungry. I hate turning to a hot dog at the movie theater for dinner because I didn't plan ahead. Planning meals makes them more enjoyable. Planning to have a piece of fruit around helps to limit snacking and sweeting. Planning my grocery list around healthy choices and not on my impulses at the store saves me money and ensures that I will have what I need on hand to be successful. I have always been a planner except for my food. Here's to changing that!

So true!! Planning saves me from making decisions when I wouldn't make a healthy choice. It gives me healthy options; it fills in the blanks. If I didn't plan, I wouldn't get anything done, as far as dinner and shopping goes!
