Good crispy cool Morning! It got down right chilly last night here in Tennessee. When I left at 4:30 this morning for the gym, my truck showed it to be 53 degrees! Fall is here and while I prefer summer time temps there is only one thing that makes the cooler temps tolerable.......
Football Time in Tennessee is here! And around our house, win or lose, good or bad, we bleed ORANGE!! #GBO #VFL #ItsGreatToBeATennesseeVol :)
I asked yesterday on my SouthernGirlontheRun Facebook page what everyone would be interested in seeing more of on this blog. I was told meals and accountability. You asked, you receive!
Let's talk Food & Accountability.
Is there something that helps you stay on track with your food? For me personally, tracking/logging my food has probably been the one thing that has helped me the most. I use the My Fitness Pal app on my phone. It is preset with my daily calorie & gram information and every.single.thing. I eat is logged. Even down to the Brach's Starburst Peppermints I sometimes grab here and there at work. The way that this works best for me is to #1 Meal Prep on the weekend. That way I know everyday my meals are ready and waiting and it takes the guess work out of it but most importantly it takes the EXCUSES out of it. Then first thing in the morning I will decide which foods I'm taking that day, and go on and log them into MFP and it honestly prevents slip ups. Obviously, there are always things that come up and may change your day but as long as you make that correction and stick to being on point for the remainder of the day then it's all good. Now, what happens if I go over my numbers? For a few seconds I'm a little hard on myself but normally I shrug it off and remember the next day is a new day!
Remember....this is not a contest and it's not a diet. It truly is a lifestyle change and we must continue working towards finding the ways that work best for each of us. It's the small, consistent changes that will yield the lasting results!
And just to add some "how freakin cute is that?" to the blog today....Can my nephew be any cuter??? This past Sunday was his 1st Birthday Party. So much fun, such great memories made! This boy has totally wrapped me around all ten of his fingers and toes!!
I hope you all have a great day. Try and get your water in, eat as healthy as you possibly can and shoot for 30 mins of exercise. I promise you that once you're finished, you'll be glad you did it!
