firmly on plan

hooray the emotional upset i felt yesterday has disappeared. guess it was good to cry out those bad chemicals.
firmly on plan today,
some errands this morning, 1 was to buy the smart and final skinless boneless chicken breasts, they look good (i am not a fan of some non-foster farm chicken so even if on sale they aren't a good buy)
i will divy these up into correct portion size. some i might cook and freeze. i think for DS's rehearsal dinner i will take cutup chicken breast and put it on the caesar salad. the wedding is 4 wks away so i've got time to figure out if i'm going to try to stay on MF for that day's dinner. i will take a long hard look at the buffet menu and i will definitely be packing MF for my other meals
here's my NSV for the day: NOT eating the extremely tasty looking sweet cherries i bought for dh and ds. I did have 2..then stopped. around 11, i thought i might not have willpower to ignore them so packed them up to give to the physical therapy crew but forgot them at home
i'm taking each day from now through 4th of July on a day by day basis, not going to worry  about having folks over to eat for dinner on the 4th. i plan my meals for that day when the day arrives (lean turkey burgers and salad on the menu, so i can have those no problem)
the main reason i didn't get back on MF from my hiatus mid-Feb til now was the fruit and artichokes growing in my garden. I love my homegrown organic food but a light bulb moment went off in my head this week, i can FREEZE or can the fruit in my yard until i get to the pt on MF i can eat fruit. i don't have to give up fruit forever. it makes more sense to lose the weight now vs staying this weight and eating the fruit now.
what's the biggest challenge in your environment to staying on an eating or exercise plan? what modifications can you make for the weight loss phase of your plan
good luck, just take it a day at a time or an hr at a time if need be.....stick w/ it and the weight will come off.
(whispers ahead of weigh in day: the scale is down 8 lbs, 6 last wk 2 lbs since Mon so i've got to stay firmly on plan as i want more than 2 lb a wk loss)
