As I sit here on a Sunday morning, enjoying my coffee and thinking about the week ahead, one thing that is not on my to do list is starting or restarting another diet.

​For some context, a typical Sunday for me used to be spent:

Shaming myself for having no will power and falling off track with my diet.

Obsessively meal planning following an uber strict (and often complicated) meal plan from the interwebs or from an unqualified Multi Level Marketing “coach” to correct the "damage" I had done that weekend.

Methodically plotting and planning my upcoming week, scheduling in all of the workouts that I thought would burn the most calories, but that I didn’t really enjoy or would have the energy for due to my long work schedule and lack of energy intake due to the above restrictive diet.
