    I will start a new under calorie goal streak
    I will work out for 80 minutes. Flip my walk to this morning to avoid the heat and do my Saturday workout mindfully, no music or TV
    I will verbalize the reasons I'm becoming healthier; morning and afternoon
    I will show my wife my grateful list. Betting she can add to it


    Good day yesterday. Under calorie goal by 25%. Worked out for 86 minutes including a morning walk with a new distance of 2.75 miles and a new low pace of 16:42 a mile. Did my afternoon workout mindfully focusing on the exercises. Good commitment once a week but missed watching Sportscenter.

    Did verbalize why I'm becoming healthier both morning and afternoon.

    Shared my grateful list with my wife this morning while we walked. Added a few to the list.

    For today:

    Will work out for 80 minutes. Will give me 7 hours for the week.
    Will continue my under calorie streak to two days in a row.
    Will verbalize the reasons I'm becoming healthier both in the morning and afternoon.
    Will spend time organizing myself for Monday morning so I can hit the ground running

    Monday's goals
    - 1 X bootcamp, rain or shine (forecast is torrential)
    - sensible choice at lunch out with my nieces
    - choose to avoid eating ANY biscuits at their house... it's something that has undone me in the past. If I don't have a first one, there can be no second or third!
