Planning Ahead to Succeed

In anticipation for the start of school and continuing to work I have started to plan my meals ahead of time. Hopefully if I start it now then it will be a habit by then that I can continue. It won't be easy to get myself ready for the day as well as Makayla ready for daycare all in one morning so I've started planning meals the day before to get a head start. So far (2 days down haha) it's been working out. It has also been helping me stick with my diet because I know exactly what I'm going to eat. Frequently, I will be hungry NOW and not want to prepare anything so I opt for something that is easy but not necessarily healthy. Now I can still eat NOW and eat something that I won't feel guilty about later. I'm not perfect but for the majority of the time I've been proud that I'm sticking with healthy choices for the past 2 weeks now.
Also, I went and played ultimate frisbee. Boy did I suck. But I would have just stayed home watching TV so at least I got my lazy butt up and did something. But the true accomplishment of yesterday was something emotional. I have always been an emotional eater - who hasn't? Yesterday wasn't a great day, but I was proud that I didn't resort to filling up on junk to make me feel better (which really just adds guilt instead of contentment). The problems of yesterday resulted in being other people's attitudes and for once weren't piled on with my own guilt and bad choices. That made me feel so much better.
So one to today, a new day. My meals are all planned accordingly and going to gym is on the schedule. I haven't stepped on the scale in a week and I still don't plan to for a couple days. I'm feeling good so I don't want to spoil it if I'm not getting the immediate results I want.
What's that saying? If you don't plan to succeed you are planning to fail? Anywho, I want to succeed so plan away!!!!
