Here is another key word in weight management – Consistency. We can have portion control, an activity plan, meal plans, goals, and even priorities – we still need to be consistent in our eating and activity patterns.We need consistency in:
- Our eating habits: Be consistent in What time of day you eat each meal and snack. Then our body knows when to expect nourishment.
- Our sleeping habits: The hours of sleep you get all or most nights. I know from my experience one of my biggest obstacles is being overly tired. I compensate for being tired by eating.
- Our motivation: Keep that motivation going and as even as possible. If you are lacking in motavation, do something. Talk to your ‘cheer leaders’ – the friends/family that are supportive of your efforts. If you have written down the reasons you are on your weight management journey, read it. If you haven’t, then write one. It even helps to have a journal that you record your ups and downs, successes and bumps, your thoughts, your habit improvements.
- Remember – DO NOT be consistent in binge-ing or overeating
To help me be consistant, I would like to start sending out an email once a week – a news letter of sorts. I encourage you to sign-up for the news letter. I have ideas like sharing recipes, deals I have found on line (not sales pitches), etc. Please sign-up here, then leave a comment below if you have anything you would like to see included in a weekly email.
