Track: Yes!
Under calorie goal: yes

3 x yes today. Strength training is never my favorite, but I do like feeling strong, so I guess it's necessary. 😂
Self efficacy is a challenge for me, mostly due to my family history. It's taken me most of my adult life to figure out that I'm not "showing off" by maintaining a healthy weight and exercising--I'm just taking care of myself. I'm not doing that to prove that I'm "better" than anyone else; I'm doing it to stay healthy and feel good. What other people think about my goals is on them, not on me.
This is one of my favorites quotes: "We all have our limitations, but when we listen to our critics, we also have theirs.” Robert Breault
I'll probably spend the rest of my life trying to let go of theirs. My own are quite enough.10 -

Interesting topic. For me I think I need to get out of the 'all or nothing' attitude and not focus so much on perfection. Perfection isn't sustainable long term- well at least its not for me! But maybe if i have 100 days or 30 days of sticking with it, perfect or not, it will increase my confidence in my self to get right back on track after a bad day.
Have a great night everyone!9 -

Self-efficacy is a new term to me too.
I have been trained to accomplish new skills by finding a coach. That has been my adult career path model. Even though I do not have a belief that I can succeed in a new endeavor, I am willing to invest time and accept that I may experience embarrassment and failure while learning. There have been times when a coach advised me that I lack the talent to succeed. The most humorous example was when I signed up for 4 golf lessons and the golf coach ended our meetings after the third one. She did have to dive behind a golf cart 3 times on the third day.
That was an example of self-preservation in the face of my attempt at self-efficacy in golfing.

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? YES, Waited for the rain to stop then went out for my 1st C25K run of week 3. Feel like I burned a few extra calories dodging and jumping over all the puddles. I finished up the last 4 or 5 blocks walking in the rain which was refreshing.

I thought I’d be over, but nope!!
I think I’m developing - slowly - the ability to pay attention to my body’s true needs.
Self-efficacy… “According to Albert Bandura, self-efficacy is ‘the belief in one’s capabilities to organize and execute the courses of action required to manage prospective situations.’ “
Yes! That is why I am a huge believer in taking baby steps to develop the 100’s of habits needed to overcome my lifelong obesity (including developing replacement hobbies/activities that bring me the joy that overeating food used to.) By shifting my baby steps into automatic habits, I find I need to rely much less on self-efficacy, self control, and willpower in the long run. I’m all for making this as easy as possible. I think that will give me a greater chance at continued success.6 -

'Self Efficacy' is a term many teachers among us will have come across, like me, in their training, mine now many moons ago. I have no problems with it myself, but do suffer from procrastination. While I know I can do it, I am still not doing it ...
Teachers try to encourage students to self efficacy and in a way that's what we are doing here, on this platform, encouraging others that they can do it!

The only way I can succeed is by continuing to log, stay within my calories and do my workouts without fail. Getting on the treadmill as soon as I roll out of bed is the key to me having a successful day. If I put it off I'm more likely to go off tilt.
I've also been thinking that those of you who still work deserve kudos for staying on track. I don't think I would be as successful with weight loss or working out if I hadn't retired last year.
