Daily Meal Planning

Photography class assignment-Moss

I almost have 30 days under my belt of eating with surrender under my 1450 limit. Something that is really making a difference in helping me stay under my calorie limit (pretty easily) is planning my day BEFORE my day begins. It takes all my "but I want that" out of the equation. I've also noticed I have not had ANY crazy cravings...I find that extremely interesting.

In the morning, while eating my oatmeal, cherries, walnuts dressed in heavy whipping cream (DELICIOUS!), I bring up MFP and log my meals BEFORE I eat them. I am so fortunate to be a SAHM, so most days I really can plan ahead.

I've also been allowing myself little treats, or as my friend Marilyn calls them, "mini indulgences". I'm partial right now to MINI York Peppermint Patties.  They are 15 calories each and are so tasty to complete a meal. I often save one for the end of my day. It helps me!
