Definition of Back on Track??

For me, one of the best questions about being on track is to define it for yourself. So, what is your definition of either getting back on track or to be on track?

From talking with members, many of us talk a lot about back on track. I've found though that it means different things to different people.

I think a good place to start here on our Back On Track Together group is to be clear as to what being on track means to us.

For me, it is a few things:

1. Eat protein first. Generally, eat 2 or 3 bites of protein for every bite of vegetables, complex carbs and fruit.

2. Drink a minimum of 64 ounces of water.

3. Exercise, incorporate activity and movement into my day, 4-5 days per week. Also, when the opportunity presents itself, I choose activity. Rather than take the elevator, I'll take the stairs. Rather than drive around for five minutes for a parking space, I'll automatically park the furthest space away.

4. Do not graze. Planned snacks are fine but no mindless grazing.

5. Don't emotionally eat (big one for me!). Turn to non-food strategies for coping with emotions than food.

That's my list. What's yours?
