This is mainly for myself, but conversation, constructive criticism, and feedback certainly welcomed.

2/12 Weekly Goals
- accurately log every day
- “Something” (exercise-wise) daily
- Weigh in daily (not worried @ the #, just get in process)
- Drink “more” water (not worrying about amount yet - will get more specific as I get in process)

    how did you eat 'too much' if you were under your calorie goal?

    you don't get extra points for making yourself suffer while losing weigh

    Left the table feeling “stuffed & lethargic” - pure subjective feeling about the meal, that’s all

    Initial measurements for baseline.

    Initial thought: for crying out loud, I’m a f#*%ing cylinder...
    OK, it’s the baseline from which to measure progress. Initial plan - measure monthly to see how it goes.

    2/13 PM - 60m BJJ rolling, 60m Boxing/MT striking drills.

    Overall, great day. Lots of movement, good amount of water, disciplined eating (& mostly “clean” FWIW...). Will be sore tomorrow- get up and get after it anyway!

    Your diary has a notes section at the bottom - it might be a good place to write your thoughts and help you identify any patterns of food/behaviours?

    Look at your weekly goal, not just daily.

    2/15 PM - 120m BJJ & Boxing:MT. Short dog walk.

    Good day. Lots of movement, lots of water, good eating. Smoked from JJ/B/MT - hope to fall asleep as soon as head hits pillow. Thinking about IF tomorrow- not sure if I will or not. Haven’t meal prepped - will make final decision tomorrow...

    Waved off any IF - woke up hungry and feeling a little dehydrated.

    AM - 5 Ed’s 500m row 15 KB swing assisted PU & dips. 5 x 8 PUs un partitioned. Will go to 10 next weekend - once 10s able to be done unpartitioned then will start decreasing assistance weight.

    2/20 - awful, from a disciplined & weight loss perspective, weekend - and a long one at that. From Friday afternoon to Monday evening, didn’t log, over ate, and didn’t exercise. Predictable end result - gained back everything lost last week plus 0.6 pounds. It’s this type of behavior that has put me at my heaviest ever (think it’s today’s number) - disappointed & disgusted with myself.

    Goal this week - get up everyday & workout, log everything, reduce Diet Coke amount & consume more water. Biggest goal - don’t lose it over the weekend!

    AM - 30m cardio (10 runner, 10 glider, 10 runner) followed by some stretching.

    OK day - under goal even with a little treat of nutter butters. Would certainly like some more, but will hold off and keep it a good day. PM - short dog walk. Trying to go to bed early - doing the morning workout means a silly early start - but if I don’t do it then - I usually just don’t. Up & at’m
