Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes?
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day?
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank?

    Beating yourself up over food is a trap many unsuccessful dieters fall into. Weight management coach Freida B. Herron, DSW, LCSW, reminds dieters that it is important to try to stop the negative self-talk. She suggests imagining that your desire to overeat is a lovable 5-year-old child. “You don’t want to berate or shame your appetite – that only leads to more dysfunctional eating,” she advises. Instead she suggests treating yourself with respect, understanding and affection, as you would that child.

    Checking in a little early and will update later if anything deviates from the plan, but I am quite sure all will stay on track.

    ✅✅✅
    4 pass days used (1st, 2nd, 7th, 24th)
    Today's exercise was a strength routine (Upper Body A: Dumbbell bench press, banded lat pull-down, banded tricep extension, dumbbell wrist curl)

    I was asked about the kitten that I posted yesterday, so details in spoiler (warning: contains cute and fluffy kitten pics)
    This is the newest member of the family. Her name is Marley.

    Marley.jpg

    As far as we know she is the only one of her litter who was rescued, but we are hopeful for the others. The litter was first spotted by my sister-in-law last Monday night on the side of a road next to a field while she had her large dog, so she could not grab the litter right away. She called my wife to come help find the litter. When they got back out there they could only find this one. The vet estimated she was only 4-6 weeks old at the time of rescue based on her teeth, and she was clearly not yet weaned, having to be fed by syringe the first time but quickly adapting, and is now eating semi-solid kitten food. She was quite healthy, clean and plump though, so we suspect this litter was dumped. There have been 4 trips made back to the site with no other kittens being found.

    She is now eating kitten food and has staked a firm claim on the entire interior of the house. She purrs almost non-stop, rather loudly, and loves to cuddle. She has also worked very hard on her pouncing and is getting pretty good at it, although she still pounces at nothing quite a bit just because she was certain something must have been there. Her senses are getting a bit more tuned in with time though.

    Omg I am soooooo in love with her she is absolutely gorgeous!!!!! I can't get over how cute she is!!!
