Planning is the key to success

"Organizing is what you do before you do something, so that when you do it, it is not all mixed up." A.A. Milne (the creator of Winnie the Pooh!)

“When planning for a year, plant corn. When planning for a decade, plant trees. When planning for life, train and educate people.” Chinese Proverb

“He who fails to plan, plans to fail” Some smart kid...

*****************
All three of these quotes are applicable to me! First of all, A.A. Milne is just rockin' with that all mixed up business. "Oh bother!" was a famous Pooh expletive. Pooh never seemed to have a good plan. I think that the second quote hits home, because the more I teach others what I'm doing, the more I reinforce my own habits. Finally, the smart kid that came up with the final one...well, that was me today.

You see, I had decided to change my food for the week. After four weeks of basically the same meal plan, I felt that I was due for a change up. I had lunch figured out, but somehow, forgot about my breakfast and mid-morning snack. I literally was standing in front of the fridge this morning shaking my head with confusion. Do I want an egg? No. Protein shake? No. Lowfat cheese? No. It was really stupid. All because I hadn't thought it through. In order to make it to work on time (could you imagine...yeah, I'm going to be late because I don't know what to eat...)I grabbed my regular bread/nut butter and then brought a protein bar just in case. In case of what? Still shaking my head. Long story short, I ended up eating more than I have had in the past month since I didn't know what to have.

Did I mention that this is totally stupid?

New plan is in place. Tomorrow will be a success. Teaching you all about my mistakes. Getting organized.

Oh bother!
