I don't think we've done one of these in awhile. Feel free to post something here, if you find stating goals out loud to be useful.

    My goal this week is to stay within my daily calorie allotment (1230) each DAY. For several weeks, I've been monitoring calories daily but caring about what kind of deficit I've had for the week. I need to be tighter/more restrictive for a bit.

    This week I’m going to track what I eat.
    - each morning I will review the day before to see if I missed tracking anything
    - I will report back each day whether I tracked or not
    - I will also track whatever emotions come up around tracking

    My weekly goal which is really a daily goal is to stay with my nutritionist diet per meal. All portions roughly size of my hand except protein and grains and their the size of my palm.
    1 grain
    1 fruit
    1 protein
    1 vegetable
    1 dairy
    When I follow this for at least 1 week on 2 or 3 occassions I lose weight. Just can't deviate.
    Example I can have 2 slices of bread (preferably whole wheat or grain) but not not bread and rice or toast and oatmeal and cereal.
    Protein the size of my palm puts me right 4-6 oz.
    Not counting kcals or points at this time but I am tracking thos meals.

    Reporting back- I’ve tracked each day since the 15th. I failed to report in yesterday.

    Reporting back on my stated goal of eating within my allotted daily MFP calories. I went over one day, but still ended up having a slightly larger deficit than planned for the week. There was much less mindless snacking. Best week I've had in awhile, and it's put a little pep in my step.

    This week's goal is the same as last week: I'll eat within my calories on a DAILY basis.

    Reporting back on my goals for this week, I tracked three of seven days, I reported back once, and I didn’t track my emotions about tracking.

    While it wasn’t a great performance, I’m renewing these three goals, with an emphasis on reporting back daily. I’ve discovered (rediscovered) that I’m a people person. I get energized by interacting with people. Conversely, when I allow myself to isolate, it’s draining for me.

    OK I will bite and commit to tracking every day and reporting in every day as well.

    This week's goal is to get into the weight room 4 days even if for short sessions. My late nights at work this semester are messing with my normal morning routine.

    Had my 4th session of the week in the weight room this morning. Most I've done in many weeks. Feels good even if I'm a little sore (upper body).

    I need to reduce my stress level. The priority with this 4 day weekend is to tame my flower beds/bushes. Way too much rain and way too many weekends on the bike has resulted in the formation of a jungle. It causes me stress when I come home each night.

    I also need to tame the jungle of paperwork that has built up.

    I feel better mentally when I'm more organized. When I feel better mentally, it is easier to eat in a manner that feeds my physical hunger not my mental stress.

    I tracked everything. Right now, that’s my only goal. I’ve got a 4-day trial next week. After that, I’ll be working on adding to my goal.
