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 running0 -

What is a freggie?0 -
Fruit or veggie.
I tend to have 1 serving of fruit and about 9 of vegetables on an ideal day. When I get lazy, my freggie count sometimes falls to 5 or 6 a day, so it's helpful to have the goal and remind myself to get more in my diet.0 -
Thank you, azul, for the new word :-)
Just for today, I will prepare for tomorrow morning, tonight, and go to bed early. Appointment with physical therapist at 6:45am. I intend to ask her if she sleeps there, lol.0 -

Very bad couple of days. Only success was I stuck to the 'avoid biscuots' commitment. But had a load of other sugary stuff today. :-(0 -
Wednesday's goals
- 1 X bootcamp at least
- avoid all added sugar foods0 -
Been on a plateau for a month now, very discouraging.
So JFT
1. Stay within drastically cut calorie goal
2. Water, Water, Water
3. 1 hour of exercise ( this will be hard I'm working today)
4. No sweets ( still craving sugar)
5. Positive attitude !0 -

Didn't work out yesterday, two days in a row.
Went over calorie goal by 150 calories. I'm very conservative on calorie logging but I'm sticking with my number
First opportunity to make good choices while dining out went out the window at dinner. Cheeseburger and fries
Did reinforce the reasons I'm becoming healthier in the morning.
For today:
Will stay under my calorie goal and start a new streak
Will work out for 40 minutes
Will make smarter choices when dining out. Can't commit to cutting an entrée in half but at least once today I will leave 1/4 of my meal on the plate.
Will reinforce the reasons I'm becoming healthier, both morning and afternoon0 -
