My husband wakes up with plenty of time to prepare breakfast, eat it and then make his lunch. I on the other hand sleep in as long as I possibly can in order to still get to work on time. Which leaves me rushing out the door with breakfast in my hand and leftovers from the night before for lunch. If I wasn't prepared the night before by simply cutting up veggies/fruit to eat with my leftovers, I was cramming veggie servings with dinner.
If I procrastinate exercising until 9 pm, then I am "too tired" to go. If I hang out with friends and I haven't practiced saying no to sweets before hand, then I eat them! Sounds silly, but sweets are my weakness!
Preparation starts with the mental resolve to keep your goals. Then feeds into everything else it takes to have a healthy lifestyle. From your meal plans to your grocery list. It takes knowing how much time you actually have and finding healthy recipes that you can cook in the time you have. It takes making a schedule and fitting exercise in like you would work, or some other non-negotiable activity. (facebook?) :)
Mostly, I am writing this because I want some ideas! Have you run into the same challenges, different challenges? What solutions have you tried that are working for you?
PS I found a website that has lots of tips. It has exercises, running tips, nutrition tips, information about different types of diets etc. It is livestrong.com
