Yesterday morning I had a conversation with my daughter about planning her breakfast the night before. In the morning she usually has a hard time deciding what she "feels" like eating. I asked her to start making that decision the night before to take the emotion out of it. That brought me to an important thought about making good decisions. When we are left to our emotions we often choose decisions that we may later regret. However, if we decide ahead of time our course of action, we can usually make decisions that we are proud of later on. An example of this would be the person who goes to a party as the designated driver and refrains from alcohol all evening.
How do we apply this to our current fitness challenge? Many of you are trying to alter the way that you eat and to make better food choices. The difficulty in doing this is when you find yourself in a situation for which you are unprepared. This usually ends by eating what is there and convenient. If you are away from home this might be a soda and a poppy seed muffin. You can avoid these situations by planning your meals ahead of time. Bring some acceptable snacks with you when you are driving somewhere. If you know you will be out at a restaurant for a social gathering, decide ahead of time what type of meal you will order.
