I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend celebrating with the fam. I am cooking up a storm here, so hopefully it all turns out as planned. I will take some pics of the yummy clean eats I am making to show you all!<\/p>\n<p>I was thinking about today\u2019s tip as I was preparing my bird, and I was nibbling on some pieces of dry bread (not even a <img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.fitchicks.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/10\/choccie1-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"choccie\" title=\"choccie\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-266\" \/>yummy snack!) that I was using to make stuffing (yes, I gave in and stuffed the bird since bf wanted it!). I had to stop myself and think why am I eating this? And I threw the extra bread away.<\/p>\n<p>Mindless munching can totally sabotage your eating plan, leading to a few extra hundred calories consumed each day. You probably don\u2019t even realize you are doing it. A handful of candy at the office, a nibble off of your kid\u2019s plate (I am terrible for doing this!), a bite, lick or taste while cooking\u2026.it all adds up and can ruin your healthy eating plan.<\/p>\n<p>I think the best thing to do is acknowledge what you are doing. Keep a food diary for a week and be completely honest about everything going in. Don\u2019t judge, just be honest. Then you can look at areas for improvement. I find having a piece of gum while cooking helps me avoid tasting everything, putting food away BEFORE dinner helps avoid picking at leftovers while I clean up, and throwing out your child\u2019s meal when they are finished. Don\u2019t worry about the waste, it\u2019s no less wasted if it ends up on your thighs!<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy the rest of your weekend, Chicks, and I will chat with you soon!<\/p>\n<p>Sis \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey Chicks!
