Today, I gave my body a break. I'm in a lot of pain (ToM) and I feel nauseous all the time. So, no workout and not feeling guilty about it. Still staying under calorie and will try to get back to it tomorrow13

Realizing that it’s okay to throw food away instead of eating it out of guilt about being wasteful. It’s not like I can donate two pieces of leftover pizza. Better to put them in the trash instead of in my body when I’m not even hungry.14

Hard boiled eggs! Had no time for breakfast OR lunch today but I had a few minutes to spare between meetings. I wolfed down two eggs and they were just enough to tide me over until I could have a proper late lunch.10

Counting...1, 2, 3 and I go without letting my mind come up with excuses. I am currently doing Transform 20 and I know it is a short workout. But if I don't do it in the morning, I will probably never do it. So I need to do it asap first thing in the morning after waking up and watering the plants.12

Washing my husband's truck! I washed the outside, then he was supposed to take care of the inside but he was working on something else so I got the vacuum and cleaned the inside too, got the floor protectors cleaned, took about 3 hours total and I probably burned 500 calories doing it!

I timed a lap around my development with my dog & it takes us a little over 15 minutes with stop and sniffs and stop, drop and rolls. I burn 35 calories that way. It's not a ton, but I can take the dog out for several of these now that it is getting nice. I figure if the German government says that dogs deserve two hours of walking a day, then I can do the same for my dog too. I noticed that she is getting much skinnier. Today, I wore a pair of medium pants and they didn't hurt my waist. I am going to take a baseline for my measurements tomorrow morning.15

I was dying for something sweet today. I had a small square of SUPER dark chocolate. It satisfied the craving without depriving myself, but I wasn't tempted to keep going.10

Managed to jog 3.5 miles after no strenuous exercise on Thursday and nothing on Friday and taking her easy yesterday.. why? 51 and for my 1st colonoscopy… didn’t help I had drinks last night and then decided let’s get it done early. Felt like I running like crap but actually had a decent jog according to watch.7

Continuing to weigh and measure my food even when I don't feel like it. Has paid off in a 55 lb weight loss.⚖14

Today and EVERY day..it's tracking, tracking, tracking my food.13

My schedule changed last week, and I know I'm in danger of losing my momentum for fitness as I focus on other things. So what worked for me today was forcing myself to go to the gym even when I didn't want to. If I can keep the habit going over the next month or so, I'll have a much better chance of keeping it long term. There's always a danger zone when your initial obsession ends, so what's working for me now is just Showing Up. Even if I'm tired, even it I don't do the whole's greatest workout. If I keep showing up, good things will happen. That's my mantra!14

After a week
Today is my rest day9 -
Tracking my food, getting my exercise & choosing healthy food.7

What worked for me today was NOT getting discouraged (which equals self sabotage) after the scale showed me up 2lbs. I weigh daily and I’ve been doing it long enough to understand that my weight fluctuates like crazy day to day. I trust the plan and will keep on keeping on.12
-
Having a go to breakfast that I really enjoy. Switching things up may be enticing or less work, but there is something to be said for contentment. And satiety.12

Planning my meals and sticking to my program.10

Habit. I shop right after breakfast and can say, "Nah, I'm not really hungry, and I can have a good lunch as soon as i get home, so I don't need any candy or extra treat." And I've done it enough times that I know on all my levels that it's true, so it's not hard work resisting the temptation any more, since I have experience on my side.11

Housewalking. Anxiety’s been playing me up badly so I settled for just targeting getting up and just doing a bit of pacing back and forth a bit to ensure my steps were higher than they would have been had I done nothing.
Also protein fluff, sugar free jello, frozen grapes, and combining ricecakes and light cheese with tuna/turkey ham for snacks.10 -
Snack chips are my weakness, especially Doritos Organic White Cheddar chips. My victory? Only eating one serving instead of half the bag. Small victories!13

coffee and determination7

What worked for me so far this morning was sweating so much during a 20 minute Yoga session with my trainer. I feel amazing! I don't want to waste such a great start to this day!10

Got up and did a crossfit class and was so glad i was able to finish.10

SAVORY OATMEAL. My world is brighter. Birds are singing. Life is hopeful. SAVORY OATMEAL IS AMAZING.
Okay but really! How did I not know this? You can basically do whatever you'd do for a grain bowl. Today I made cacio e pepe oatmeal (basically oatmeal with salt, pepper, butter and parmesan cheese) AND added a poached egg on top. I only used 4g of butter and 20g of cheese and it had so much flavor!

Putting me first. Last couple of days prepped after work for the next day so my portion sizes won't be over.11
