I have been told by a few people in my life time that I'm a 'little OCD'. I personally don't think that I am. I do however like to make lists and am a planner. In certain things, I do not do well with flying by the seat of my pants. I decided yesterday that I needed to make a menu plan for the week. Not only will this help keep me stay on track with my diet, but it will also help with the grocery shopping. I have done meal planning many times before, but normally just for our dinners. Here is where the OCD may have kicked in; I ended up making a very detailed calendar. I planned, breakfasts, lunches, dinners, snacks & even what type of exercises I will be doing each day. I put the exact measurements of things (1 cup all bran, 4 ounces chicken etc.). I didn't just do this for the week, but through April. I printed them all up, put them in their protective plastic sleeves and put them on the fridge for easy access. In this case I think the OCD will be beneficial to me sticking to my diet and keeping up with my exercise. Stats: 227.4 pounds (12.8 pounds lost)
