This week is so busy I don't have time to pack any food. This makes it hard to plan, but I can still do it.
This is earlier than I normally eat, but I just got out of a dentist appointment and about to fit in a swim.
No reason I can't plan the rest of the day once I see what food will be available. It might not have perfect macros, but I can get the calories right for a deficit. Some days of imperfect macros won't hurt, as long as I get right back on track the days that I can!
It is super important to not let negative self talk cloud the rest of your decisions. It would be so easy to say "I can't do this", "It isn't working", "I'm a failure", "My hormones are messed up", "This is impossible!", and so much more. I fight these thoughts all the time. And to top it off, everyone says I look fine, so I can't even talk about the battle with anyone!
I know it's hard. And when one is a small female like me with all the hormone issues, the weight loss is so slow, like 2-4 pounds a month. So what? Who cares how long it will take??? Time passes anyway. The future can be better. And the truth is we only have so much time left alive and able to do things. Not to be grim, but none of us knows how much time. Just keep swimming!
Speaking of which, time for me to go swimming 🏊♀️!!!!!
Let's make this week amazing
I always fight the 'negative self talk and thoughts' as well.
