Garbage That GOO!

Just one decision away from goal

I've procrastinated... my taxes still aren't done. I am rather caught up on reading and commenting on blogs though. Didn't exercise. OTOH, still sore from Saturday's workout, so a little more recovery probably isn't a bad thing. Tomorrow I plan to exercise as per usual, but after that, I've got to buckle down on the paperwork.

I found myself eating my third meal a little late, closer to four hours from my last meal instead of three... not a huge problem, except that one tends to feel just that much hungrier. So, I ate my chicken salad, but then found myself wanting more. I ate a piece of reduced fat swiss. Another. Three spoons of peanut butter. Two more pieces of swiss. Two pieces of Wasa Fiber Rye. And then I just stopped. Of course, the huge irony is that I'm chowing down while sitting and watching NBC's "Biggest Loser".

I'm glad I managed to stop.

A slip. A blip. A botch. Whatever. Here's the victory... I made my next decision better.

Mind you, I was sorely tempted to slip up again for my fourth meal. Grab some cereal and milk or more fiber rye crisps and cheese... probably with no veggies included. Instead, I ate my PLANNED meal of salmon on romaine lettuce/veggies with olive oil and balsamic vinegar dressing. It was good! And honestly, not that slow to prepare, all of about ten minutes.

I then checked my email, catching up on the Precision Nutrition forums activity... and saw a reference to an old but excellent post by Ryan Andrews titled "One Decision Away". Worth the read!

We make so many decisions that can push us further from our goals or move us closer to them. I obviously have troubles with decisions of the convenience grab vs. fixing a healthier meal sort. Especially when tired.

What decisions plague you daily?
