Setting up for success

Don't bring food in the house that I will have trouble with. Bread is hidden in the giant bread box.

Oreos..not in my house.

If my family wants cake they know where the good bakeries are and they sell cake by the piece.

I do not make cookies.

Those are great, if you don't have the baked goods nearby, it makes it harder to succumb to their lure!

Great discussion topic! I feel like routine is key to staying on track, and I've noticed that it's the days I fail to plan ahead that I go off the rails more (eat convenient/quick foods)

1) put my lunch AND gym bag together the night before (and enter into MFP) and make a dinner plan for after work.

2) food prep on Sunday afternoons so I have pre-portioned protein things to toss in my lunch bag

3) check in here every day, even if it's later and I don't post my menu.

Great tips!

Something that I do, that I haven't seen mentioned (apologies if it was), is to place my vitamins in a visible location. Because we take so many doses of calcium, it can be easy to forget a dose. I know that some folks set alarms, but I place my remaining 3 doses in a medicine cup on the counter so that I can see them.

This is a good one. I put my calcium chews in my pocket in the morning so I can take them through the day.

I take a pill organizer to work for my day time ones on Monday for the week.
