Next week I start my new job and I want to plan on having a plan. <br />Keep up the good work.<br />SusieSusiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07176712743363823772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1090030607664618213.post-26052385488360862112010-05-24T15:35:53.282-07:002010-05-24T15:35:53.282-07:00Portion control is so easy to lose track of.

I have a paper plate that I marked with portion sizes. It's my visual guide that I keep on the fridge. It's marked half for veggies and 1/4 for carbs and 1/4 for protein. I don't count fruit bec I try and eat those for snacks. The plate helps me remember every time I open the fridge to stick to the correct portions.<br /><br />I also save those small plastic Lean Cuisine frozen entree dishes and use those for my lunch. Can't fill them up much, that's for sure!<br /><br />Have a great week, Marie! ~Donna :)Donna@The Cottage Decoratorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11484704051918449026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1090030607664618213.post-45548455237782714662010-05-24T13:47:04.164-07:002010-05-24T13:47:04.164-07:00Marie

I decided I need a not so subtle reminder. Just google the words "portion control plate" and you'll see them.

Everyone even has their own snack drawer at their dest too! Geesh. But since its new, I am just not going to start the bad habits. From the beginning I will make sure to deal with this head on. I have gone to the store and I have my baggies of fresh fruits and vegtables ready to snack on during the day. They gave us a huge spill proof mug that I will fill with ice water as soon as I get in. The cafe where we have lunch is a trek for me and I walk so slow, so I dont get much there as I wont have time to eat it. But I have found they have a scoop of tuna on lettuce leaves thats perfect and some protien for the afternoon. So I have my plan and stradegy for the week. <br />I was up 2 pounds from the trip. I dont think its gone yet, but I am making it a goal for this next week. <br />I hope to see less of everyone next week. :) (()) gailgailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03377043892646115876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1090030607664618213.post-91100488972124668302010-05-23T13:25:27.853-07:002010-05-23T13:25:27.853-07:00It's definitely not easy, Marie!

Whatever I did or didn't do the day before no longer matters. <br />I'd love to know more about the portion control plate. I try using smaller plates & bowls to trick myself into eating less ... sometimes ...karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03140525208481352659noreply@blogger.com
