    Daily Habit Goals: Track, 😁exercise, 😁journal😁

    Tomorrow...Thursday!
    1. Up at 6, run app, 2 sets yoga😁
    2. Healthy breakfast, no media. 😁
    3. Eat smart at catered lunch😁
    4. Left over chicken and veggies for dinner😁
    5. Stop at store for more salad (or ask DH)👿—forgot entirely
    6. Track all!😁
    7. Upstairs by 9, journal, 😁lights out 9:45🤞

    Another scale win today (modest...this is a very slow method) but nice to confirm tracking is paying off. Tomorrow I take my team offsite, need to pack my breakfast and be very mindful at lunch. Found out one team member placed an order for cookies without asking, which annoys me. Frankly none of us need the calories, so it’s just pure temptation.

    Daily Habit Goals: track, exercise, journal

    1. Up at 5:30, walk, in shower by 6:15
    2. Downstairs by 6:50, pack breakfast, leave by 7
    3. Eat breakfast after the drive (mindfully)
    4. Eat smart at lunch
    5. Block schedule Mondays and Tuesdays to get home earmy
    6. Stop at store on way home for salad and party ingredients
    7. Upstairs by 10, journal

    Hang in there... YOU'VE GOT THIS!

    Here’s my daughter’s birthday cake. I had to carve lots of pieces out to make the lamp shape. Very proud of myself for not eating the off-cuts!!

    1. 75 grams of protein daily - another day not logged but did better with balance
    2. 75 oz of water daily ✔
    3. Minimize sugar intake ✔
    4. 1 chore in the morning, 1 chore in the evening ✔
    5. Don't panic - baby has a place to sleep, diapers, clothes, and food - the rest is gravy. - baby steps! Balance between getting stuff done snd getting enough rest
    6. If you need help, ASK! Same as above
    7. Log food 👎
    I did cook dinner at home and i did empty and fill the dishwasher

    Today
    1. 75 grams of protein daily - not a balanced day
    2. 75 oz of water daily - no and now im so thirsty but dont want to be up every hour to pee
    3. Minimize sugar intake - nope
    4. 1 chore in the morning, 1 chore in the evening - so many chores, day off and nesting was in full swing in the weirdest ways
    5. Don't panic - baby has a place to sleep, diapers, clothes, and food - the rest is gravy. - connected with DH about our expectations of the first few months felt so nice!
    6. If you need help, ASK! Asked DH for help in food prep specifically, he was very respinsive and started himself a honey do list, hes starting to nest too i think
    7. Log food 👎 we went out to dinner so I'll try again tomorrow
    Last few for the evening are put phone away and move laundry.

    @maryrobinson40 — thanks for the shout out of encouragement, I appreciate it!

    @pridesabtch — good luck with the shopping and the coach meetup. I rowed for a brief stint in college and loved it! (I quit when I realized I was skipping class and skipping job hours but making it to rowing practice...not the right priority for an unathletic engineering major on scholarship!)

    @beachwalker99 —love that you valued and enjoyed your visit with your mom. As you said, that is what matters!

    2. Downstairs by 6:50, pack breakfast, leave by 7😁
    3. Eat breakfast after the drive (mindfully) —not so mindfully, was juggling meeting startup, but at least wasn’t zoning out 😁
    4. Eat smart at lunch 😁— wow this was hard. My associate booked us at a chicken and waffles diner. As in they had only fried chicken on the menu. Went with a breast on the side, and a weak salad into which I cut up the breast. All while watching my staff across from me eat waffles drenched butter...
    5. Block schedule Mondays and Tuesdays to get home early👿—forgot, transfer to Saturday list
    6. Stop at store on way home for salad and party ingredients 😁 — actually, I didn’t do this, but within 5 minutes of being home got a call from DH who was at the store and he had forgotten his wallet...so I got to make sure the cart they’d filled up he what I needed, task essentially done!
    7. Upstairs by 10, 👿—not my fault! I had a cat on my lap! And this cat rarely comes in for a cuddle...had to enjoy it; journal😁

    Ok I’m going to need support and karma towards good choices tomorrow! We are throwing a party for my 50th birthday—we chose the theme before I got serious about upgrading my health. So Crepes and Champagne theme. If I keep moving and talking and eat carrots from the veggie tray
    I should be able to limit the damage yet enjoy the best parts of the party —my loved ones and *some* good food & drink.

    Daily Habit Goals: track, exercise, journal

    1. Up at 8, run app, 2 sets of yoga
    2. Healthy breakfast, no media
    3. Block schedule Mondays and Tuesdays to get home early
    4. Pick up additional supplies (per list on phone)
    5. Pick up daughter’s order at Macy’s—outfit needed for 10am Sunday meeting that I just found out about at 8pm Saturday...
    6. Salad for lunch
    7. Cleanup house and get family to move furniture, add chairs
    8. Clean up self(!) for party
    9. Enjoy! Try to track, but count this as 1 of 5 days each year to just enjoy.
    10. Don’t forget to journal!!!

    Word for the year: Climbing
    - out of depression
    - back onto the bike
    - up the backside of Huck Hill

    The visit went really well yesterday. She loved the nursing school and the rowing coaches were very positive and encouraging. They have a lot of lightweights on their team so her size was not as much of an issue here. All in all very encouraging.

    Dress shopping was not so successful, but we are going to hit one more shop before her competition today. Wish us luck!

    I did well on food yesterday by only eating half of my meals which was more than enough.

    Day 2 looks good. She is ready to compete and hungry to take over the number 2 spot on the team by beating on off the senior powerhouses today. I love it when she’s hungry!

    Making good choices and keeping on the move! Happy Saturday y’all!
    Dear Pridesabtch: what does “stay in the green” refer to?
    Just means I’ll stay under calorie allotment. The display goes from green to red when you go over.
