Eating ALL my meals at home or making them at home has proven more difficult than I originally predicted! So, I started sort of slow. The first week, I tried to eat 2 out of 3 meals at home, and I've been scaling down from there. So far, it's going well this week. I did forget my lunch at home today (doh!), so I went to Crazy Bowls and Wraps for a chicken-veggie-rice wrap for lunch.
I think I have learned that meal planning and taking the time to prep food for my work week on the weekend to be the most important things. I am trying to make myself stick to the plan instead of making an impulsive, emotional choice of food during the day. This is getting better! I am finding it comforting that I have already decided what I will eat each day, and it's lowering my stress a little bit. :)
I also just weighed myself last week. Honestly, I hadn't weighed myself since mid-July last year! So, I was surprised to see I had lost 20 pounds! And, since then, I have lost 6 more pounds! Am I exercising regularly? Uh, no. So I'm going to just continue what I'm doing until I plateau, then add more exercise into the routine. I have a goal to lose a total of 50 pounds by the 1 year mark in July. It's an ambitious goal, but I'm sure I can do it if I try!
How is your meal planning and eating at home going? What is the hardest part?
