Positive Choices
It's the name selected for our little accountability group. I decided we needed to focus on making positive choices more often than poor choices.
So what are the choices you are going to make this week.
State of Mind - things to focus on this week
Self-talk
what are we saying to ourselves when we are faced with poor choices? How do we talk to ourselves when we get stressed, fidgety or bored, how do we talk to ourselves about making good choices?
Remind yourself that this time is temporary, it will pass and you can get through this. You can find something on plan to eat and not go to your old trigger foods. Don't give up, take a short 5 min walk. You can do this.
Plan for Change
It never fails, but when you are the least prepared, you will be blindsided with a meeting that runs long and you miss a meal, or you find yourself at a buffet of donuts and sweets and not a plan friendly morsel in sight. What do you do.... well keeping a couple of Atkins (or other plan safe) bars tucked in your desk, in the bottom of your purse or briefcase, the glove box of the car or tucked in your backpack. Make it easy for yourself to turn and walk away, grab one of your planned back-up items and have something that will tie you over until you can sit down to a meal that will keep you on track with the long term goals you want to achieve.
So what is the goals?
Review the following list, select 2-3 items from the list and make them a priority for the week. So join us in this challenge. Don't pick items that you already do, but pick items that will challenge yourself to do better.
