Last day of my 7-day plan. Must make another one before tomorrow! I'm feeling good about my compliance. I can feel that I have lots of focused motivation again. It's probably because I'm exercising much more, which gives me the energy to plan and cook meals that are satisfying to me.
This morning I insisted on grabbing a compliant lunch even though I was very rushed to get out the door. I had the soup that I made last night, potatoes that I had cooked a few days ago, and tangerines. It worked. The wisdom of keeping extra food ready in the refrigerator.
