@Basilia here are the things I have done that I think help alot with staying on track! 🙂
1. MOST IMPORTANT- BE POSITIVE, no matter if you gain a little after working so hard, DO NOT GIVE UP. There has been many weeks I've seen a 2-3 pound increase for some reason, but I always end up loosing it after. Push yourself to do better but don't critcize and put yourself down over little bumps in the road.
2. Drink only water, only treat yourself to a diet coke (if you must) once a week since they are packed with chemicals and sodium.
3. Only have a cheat MEAL once a MONTH, and by cheat meal I mean something still within reason. If we go out to eat I get a calzone but only eat half. I won't gorge myself for that one meal because it defeats the purpose in my opinion.
4. Work out at least 3 times a week, I go even if I have a rough day at work, if I get off work late, my kids have activities, whatever comes up I make sure to stick to my 3-4 times per week at the gym. If I have to go late in the evening after my kids go to bed or early in the am before work, I do it because it's rewarding.
These won't work for everyone but it definitely helped me!!
