    Yesterday worked out for 1:20. Well below my net calorie goal.

    For today, will do the same; work out for 1 hour and stay below my net calorie goal AND will not eat chips.

    No chips yesterday. Big victory for me. Net calories of 1908, 443 below goal. 1:23 working out. Highlight of 2.5M at 17:08 a mile.


    Today, stay below my net calorie goal. Work out for 80 minutes. Think long term lifestyle change.

    1) stay on my 16:8 eating plan
    2) finish my gardening work I started yesterday
    3) get laundry done

    This is such a great idea! I get so overwhelmed by how I messed up yesterday and how the weeks ahead seem insurmountable that I feel like JFT is just what I need!

    1. Log every bite like and taste
    2. Drink water.... It doesn't have to be a lot I will start with 4-6 8oz servings
    3. Stay within my calories
    4. Mow the lawn and clean up back patio

    Hi all
    Been away on hols for a week with some indulging and balanced a bit by some good walking (3 days of my 5 away we did an average of nearly 7 miles a day).
    Am dreading the scales tomorrow.

    And... I'm recommitting to showing up here daily to make a JFT commitment.

    My original time plan may have gone out the window... and I can still hit my goal by my birthday in October with some daily attention.

    One annoyance. .. have come back from holiday with a nasty cough so not sure what exercise I will manage tomorrow.

    For now, Monday's commitments:
    - meditate
    - hit calorie goal
    - do a bootcamp if cough allows (and them stay UNDER calorie goal... I was getting too used to eating them all back!)
    - be focused at work and do what I have to do so I can enjoy the sunshine later in the afternoon

    Have a great Monday when you get there everyone.
    :-)

    didn't post it, but I had a weekend goal of 10K steps for each day. Saturday I had almost 14k but yesterday less than 4000 as I was a mega-bum. Today needs to be refocus so I can back on track.

    I have a new mini-goal and date. I had to get a new learner's permit (yes I'm old to be getting my driver's license, whatever I'm getting past the voices in my head finally) because the MVA screwed up and I wasn't really in the system and the lady re-entering my info randomly dropped my weight to 215 lb from 225 lb that it said previously. so know I want to be below that number when I go to take my driver's test on Sept 11. which reminds me I need to get more time driving practice.

    1. cook chicken for salads
    2. dishes
    3. NF beginner body-weight - one circuit plus extras
    4. I have leftover crab from the crab boil on Saturday, so I need to make crab cakes and maybe crab dip.

    Small mistake not setting the goal to stay away from chips. Bit of an ugly run in with a bag of quaker cheddar rice snakes. 2307 net calories thanks to a solid 1:22 of working out.

    Today I will stay away from chips, stay under my calorie goal and work out for 45 minutes.
    Today I will insure my lovely wife knows how much I appreciate and need her support and love.

    - meditate

    :-)

    Did meditate
    Didn't get to Bootcamp. .. woke spluttering and feeling v groggy
    Was doing brilliantly on calorie goal despite having dreadful headache all day. ... then ate some chocolate drops after dinner in an attempt to distract myself from the headache. Consumed 230 calories in about 30 seconds and the partial distraction lasted about 30 seconds. So not worth it.
    Was not focused at work... headache really pulled me down and even had a 90 min nap after my (very healthy) lunch to try and clear it.
