    Yep, often a source of confusion. Technically it is week five of October, at least for a few more hours, since F2F months always start on a Sunday. But this weigh-in is also your starting weight for November - so there are lots of ways to slice and dice it.

    Hello, all!

    James Clear writes about noticing your habits and building healthy habits, and his work has been extraordinarily useful to me.

    I saw this, and thought people might find some useful nuggets in it. I know that I have worked and continue to work on building better habits around my health:
    Healthy Eating: The Beginner’s Guide on How to Eat Healthy and Stick to It (about behaviors, not diet!)
    Healthy eating. It's something everyone knows they should do, but few of us do as consistently as we would like. The purpose of this guide is to share practical strategies for how to eat healthy and break down the science of why we often fail to do so.

    Oh, and this is a great article of his, too!
    How to Stay Focused When You Get Bored Working Toward Your Goals
    Fall in love with boredom. Fall in love with repetition and practice. Fall in love with the process of what you do and let the results take care of themselves.

    If they don't call to you, no worries!

    @AustinRuadhain I went out to read these, really great articles - and found another one of his that was so. On. Point. Weight loss, creativity, hobby, profession - life in general, it fits.

    @raleighgirl09 - Yes. This is indeed excellent! He describes something so clearly (not original to him, but stated very clearly) that is my single favorite piece of coaching relating to weight loss and fitness. Acting on this and reminding myself of this and reviewing what I am up to based on this -- hugest difference.

    2. Set a schedule for your actions.

    Once you know what you want, set a schedule for actually doing it.

    Note: Don't make the same mistake I have made, which is setting a schedule based on results. Don't map out how much weight you want to lose each week or how much money you want to make. “Lose 5 pounds” is not an action you can perform. “Do three sets of squats” is an action you can perform.

    You want to set a schedule based on actions you can do, not results that you want.


    I think I will review my schedule tomorrow morning!
