Ever since that Dallas trip I haven't been able to get into my groove. I am going to have to go back to square one.
So here are my steps for getting into the Zone and staying on it:

1. Choose a menu for the week
2. Make a shopping list based on the menu
3. Grill meats to have ready by Monday morning
4. Cut up veggies and put in tupperware ready to serve
5. Prepare salsa to eat for breakfast
6. Have ready supply of tupperware and ziplocks bags for to-go meals
7. Get at least 8 hours of sleep--lack of sleep makes me crave coffee and sweets
8. Get at least 2 5k runs in the week (5k's help me recover quicker from the Crossfit wods)
9. Drink lots of water, and remember to take my vitamins.

This is my plan for this weekend. Then by Monday I'll be ready go get in the zone and be strict. Hopefully, life will not throw too many fast balls at me!

O.k., I got my groceries, menu, and my meats thawing...
First curve ball: I've got a girls' night out tonight, and it's to celebrate a friend's birthday. We're going to a concert first and then out for a light snack and dessert. I will have to do some careful navigating to be able to stay in the zone. I'll post the results tomorrow or Sunday!
