As the saying goes, not having a plan is the same as planning to fail. So in addition to packing our lunch for the day, we also have to plan healthy responses to life's stressful situations. For example, a second cup of coffee might be needed when facing an end-of-business-day deadline. I pack a baggie of instant black coffee and Stevia sweetener every morning for those times. I don't use it everyday, but I certainly prefer to have it and not need it than need it and not have it. The alternative is to buy a high calorie coffee that add pounds to my waistline and empties my pocketbook.
I also pack two pieces of fruit and three Hershey Kisses every morning. A plum and a Kiss usually get me through rush hour traffic after work. A peach with another Kiss can hold me until dinner if the boys get out of practice late. While that sounds like a lot of sugar (fruit and chocolate), my breakfast of one boiled egg and lunch consisting of a protein and two veggies provides balance.
Share your planning tips. I'd love to learn from you.
