Hey guys! I'm new to this thread. I've been having a stressful month.... struggling with eating foods outside of my prepped meals. I feel like I'm losing control, but I know that it's all mind over matter. I can regain control whenever I like. And I'd like for it to be right now! I tend to get overwhelmed and try to do too many things at once. So, just for today...
I am eating mindfully.
I will be especially mindful of hunger cues before bed.
I will get my cardio in.
I accept my past mistakes and acknowledge that this does not define me as a person.
I am working on being free from my sugar cravings.
I will remember that in stressful situations, food does not solve problems. Food does not make me happy.

JFT
1. Relish my triumphs.
2. Pre-plan/follow through
3. 40+ minutes each cardio/strength/flexibility exercise.
4. 1.5+ litres of tea/water
5. Shop for groceries

Also, to drink a lot of water0 -

"You may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing we call 'failure' is not the falling down, but the staying down."
This describes me - feeling like such a failure. But, being a failure is staying down. Today, I stand up, and get back on track!!!
I can relate to that. to all of that. here's to getting back on that track 0 -

Solid day yesterday.
Worked out for 86 minutes including a 2.5 mile walk at a 17:39 pace. Bit slower but went with my lovely bride. Always will trade speed for the time together. Was 10% below calorie goal. Over indulged on chocolate but still within my plan.

Found several new podcasts, interested to see if they match their summaries.

I will work out for 40 minutes
For today I will stay under my calorie goal and won't overindulge in any single food.
For today I will verbalize the reasons I'm becoming healthier, morning and afternoon.
