Much like many other instances in my life, I face struggles in my pursuit of healthy, clean eating. I am finding that it is easy to lose focus when I’m not prepared at all times. For me to succeed on this journey, I have to keep snacks readily available. I have to plan ahead and stock my fridge with ingredients that allow me to quickly prepare a meal easily, so that I am not left feeling desperate and eventually giving in to the lure of fast food or useless junk. It amazes me how easy it is to take bite after bite after bite of something I know is not good for me, after giving in to a “taste”. Oh how I loved the amazing energy I gained from my first 2 weeks of healthy eating. Only to knowingly sabotage my hard work due to a lack of planning and a lapse in self-control. But, I love that I can pick myself up and get back in the saddle and move along. It’s not the end of the world, though it felt like it at the time.
The great thing about having an accountability partner, is that he/she can unknowingly keep you in check without even having to say a word. Your own guilty conscience can keep you on track because you don’t want to have to tell your partner that you messed up. At least that’s how it works for me. Just keep in mind that you asked for it.
I realized that I was wasting a ridiculous number of strawberries by buying large quantities, that I couldn’t quickly consume, just because it was on sale. Duh! Freeze them. So now when I find a great deal on my smoothie staple, I’m ready. So much easier than prepping them one smoothie at a time.
