QOTD

Quote of the day from The Beck Diet Solution by Judith Beck, PhD:

Once I accept that exercise is essential and start doing it consistently, staying on plan will be easier.

Happy Friday everyone,
Kim

I dunno, maybe cause I'm still new to my eating plan, In my head I have an eating plan, and an exercise plan, and for now, they don't depend on each  other. I've been trying to get some exercise in, but as long as I stick to my plan I don't feel guilty if I don't. Do y'all think thats an ok way of looking at it? I have been struggling to stay on my plan, so that's my priority now, not exercise. But I know that to build muscule (which burns fat faster) I have to exercise, and that as I loose, my weight loss will slow, and I will HAVE to incorporate exercise into my daily routine.

BTW, Kim, I'm loving these qotd! Great idea!! 

Heather:
You're on the right track!  Your focus right now should be your food plan but as you said, eventually you'll have to incorporate exercise into your plan.  I think these quotes are relevant to different people at different times so take what's helpful and ignore the rest (or all of it;-)!
Exercising daily helps ensure you stay on plan 'cuz if you don't, you feel like crap!!  BTDT!

It's funny becaues on those rare occasions that I am doing well with exercise I find that I am more observant about what I put in my mouth because I realize how hard it is to burn those calories.  does anyone else do that?

Kit Kat...I'm totally with you! If I'm really bustin it with my workouts I'm like...NO that one bite is 10 more minutes on the bike!

One of my weight loss tenets is that I stay on plan cuz I can't fuel a workout on junk.  It definitely changed the way I looked at nutrition cuz it's so important to save those complex carbs for exercise.

I still wish I enjoyed it, but that's a whine for another day!
