Eating Intuitively

Sometimes getting from one place to another is easy.  There are no barriers, and you glide easily to your destination.

Other times, there can be major roadblocks between you and your goal.  To get around those obstacles, you may have to adjust your path or your strategy.  The same is true with attaining your health goals.

Eating the right food is important.  Exercising helps even more.  If you create a calorie-deficit, you may begin to lose weight.

Depending how much weight you have to lose, consistently burning more calories than you consume is necessary to reach your goal weight.  It could be weeks or months before you reach your goal weight. 

When the road gets rocky, it is very important to find a smoother path to your destination.  It could be a small adjustment to your diet.  It may be a change in the exercise you do or when you exercise.

I am on a rocky road now.  I missed my exercise this morning.  I ate a couple things not on my healthy eating plan.  I am working to get myself on a smooth path again.

I have already implemented some changes to my food.  I have replaced salad vegetables with cooked vegetables at lunch.  I’m also trying to determine if I am adding extra calories inadvertently.

Although I like finishing my exercise in the morning, it has been too easy for my obligations to my job to sidetrack my exercise.  I cannot let this happen any longer.  I really want to start the day successfully finishing my exercise.  It could mean I wake up earlier.  I don’t know yet.

I’m open to ideas.  I just want to get things running smoothly again real soon.  What ideas do you have?
