All I can say is KISS (keep it simple stupid) is my motto, which is why I eat the same damn thing day in and day out! I cooked all my chicken for 3 weeks and they are individually frozen in sandwich bags and packed in freezer bags in my freezer, next I went to can goods for all my vegetable carbs, yes, it is a tad higher in sodium, but then again, I drink 2+ gallons of water a day to flush that out, I hard boil my eggs each week and keep them in the frig, I mean it sure makes it easy to stick with if it is all pretty much made and done already, there is no, "Oh I'm stuck here or there and I don't have food, guess I'll get Burger King" that doesn't happen to me, I won't let it happen, with a little intelligent planning, you can always make it work! Honestly, I think the way I eat when I'm on my diet is both cheaper and easier than the way I eat when I'm not dieting, so for anyone saying they would diet, but it is too expensive... Bull$hit, excuses are like A$$holes, everybody has one, including me, LoL..Heheh! My A$$hole.. I mean excuse is not wanting to do cardio, but that is where my drive and motivation comes into play, I just tell myself every single day, I've done it before... I can do it again, I have a long way to go and it is going to be a tough road, but if I stay the course (consistency, consistency, consistency) it will happen!!!
