    Wednesday's goals
    - double bootcamp and work hard
    - avoid having ANY biscuits at my sister's
    - hit calorie target or under

    **Sigh**
    Yes to double bootcamp and pushing it :)
    Hmmmm. Had 1 biscuit at sister's and resisted more :|
    A bit over on calories despite double bootcamp. Basically. ... on bootcamp days I don't eat before class (or maybe half a glass of home juiced vegs). On double class days that means I eat breakfast around 12, have a very light snack lunch around 2 or 2.30 then a smallish dinner as still have food in my system.
    Today drove straight from bootcamp to my sister's 1 hour away. So my first meal was lunch at 1pm. I was still in calorie deficit after lunch. Blood sugar drops late afternoon and I'm starving... hence the biscuit. Left at 7 to drive home... still v hungry so bought some snack biscuits on way home. Felt a bit better. Then had a light dinner.
    But the snack took me over where I planned to be today.

    Learning:
    On bootcamp days I MUST eat more than just an apple after class and make sure I get 3 (small) meals to keep my energy up. Not eating is actually making me eat more!!

    Check in: #2 is the only thing I've been doing consistently.

    The school year has just started, and I've been working nonstop on school related stuff and home projects that are time sensitive. I'm far from lazy, but my energy level is now suffering due to lack of exercise and sleep.

    This will make my schedule and workload a bit more stressful, but if it gives me more energy, I should be able to accomplish more in less time.
    I scheduled personal training sessions, which will bring me closer to my daily /weekly goal.

    Under my calorie goal and make good choices despite a few weak moments.
    Worked out for 38 minutes.
    Reinforced my wellness mantra twice

    For today:

    I will stay under my calorie goal for the day. Going out for TexMex with friends for dinner.
    I will work out for 40 minutes
    I will express my wellness mantra
    I am expressing gratitude for MFP. For years I tried to give myself "points" or some other system for making solid food and exercise choices. MFP makes this easy to track calories in and out.

    Loved the day but exceeded by calorie goals.

    Was 20% over on the net, 29% over my self imposed hard stop. Had a great time with friends at dinner and while I made decent choices I wasn't going to have a grilled chicken breast at this restaurant.
    Worked out for 88 minutes including 51 minutes on the treadmill (always feels more difficult to me) at 3.5 mph
    Expressed my wellness mantra out loud


    For today:

    I will stay under my calorie goal for the day.
    Early morning and long drive back. Targeting an off day for exercise.
    I will express my wellness mantra
    I'm expressing my gratitude for a mentor in my life. Saw him and his incredible wife for dinner last night, first time in 15+ years. He sent me down the path of leadership driven by developing people. Made a huge impact on my career. Also a great reminder that there's more to life than work and to not wait to pursue dreams.

    Yesterday Wednesday, 9/9

    1. NO eating in my sewing room. Have my water ready! Replace this habit with drinking water. :)
    2. No matter how tired I am today, walk or ride my bike. :) Went for a walk, and did 20 min on my ellipitical - which has been collecting dust all summer
    3. I was awake last nite until 4am, so I know this will be a harder day food-wise. I tend to want to eat when I am tired. Take a short nap instead of eating! :)
    4. Be grateful for my health, and never take it for granted. Work at becoming a healthier me. :)
    5. Read success stories. :):)

    JFT, Thursday, 9/9
    1. No eating while sewing. Stop sewing if I want to munch.
    2. Drink more water. I forget how much better we feel when we are hydrated.
    3. read success stories.
    4. Log every bite
