December Goals, Habit Tracking, & Motivation Journal

12/1 went well (didn't mess it up on the first day!). I hit all of my goals, although I also indulged in some drinking to the Blues game last night.

🥤 I drank three yeti ramblers full of water.
🏃‍♀️ I did a strength training workout for 30 minutes.
🥘 All of my meals for the day were logged in the morning, with me adding in the snacks along the way!

Additional goal:
🏋️‍♀️ Because Chloe Ting is a bit intense and I'm really trying to get back into the swing of regular workouts, I actually started the Slay App home guide day 1. It was a short arm workout but resulted in a good burn and I've got some soreness this morning. I also made sure to do a warmup before and a cool down after.

The dreaded weekend! I've been crazy busy and the weekends always seem to be the time when I stray. But I'm not going to let that deter me, and I'm aiming to be better on the weekends.

12/2 & 12/3

🥤 Friday I did well but Saturday I was down on water because I was out and about all day and I felt it. As I'm writing this I'm chugging a yeti to try and make up for it.
🏃‍♀️ Friday I did strength training day 2 and got a ton of steps and an extra workout in at the hunk yard getting (and then starting to take apart!) an engine with my boyfriend. Definitely got in the exercise. Saturday was an errands day and I got a lot of steps, but no formal workout.
🥘 Both days I logged my meals the best I could, but ate out a lot so was definitely over in my calorie goal.

I'm taking today to set myself up for success in the week ahead. Tonight I'm cooking, so I've pretracked all my meals for the day and will add snacks as I go. I plan on doing day 3 of strength training, and like I said, I'm sucking down the water!

I've also made my grocery list and come up with all the dinners for this week:

• M: Turkey Tettrazini (trying to use up the last of the Thanksgiving leftovers!)
• T: Chicken Fried Rice
• W: Sweet & Spicy Chicken Meatballs w/ pickled veg and rice
• Roast duck with yukon potatoes and roasted carrots
• Air Fryer Honey Mustard Chicken with leftover potatoes and parmesan green beans

I'm going to be importing recipes today so I can pre-log for the week.

Anyone know of easy and healthy lunch ideas? I'm at a loss.

12/5 - A successful day! Busy at work, but I squeezed in a home workout and made fried rice at home (it was delicious!). So much cleaner than takeout.

🥤 I had all my water done by 3 PM. I think my body is getting back to a hydrated state which means I'm craving more water and drinking much more frequently.
🏃‍♀️ I did day 4 of the Slay home guide (weightlifting). My legs are just in a constant state of soreness.
🥘 I logged all of my meals! Still need healthy lunch ideas.

12/7 A good day in the books! I tracked all my meals, drank all my water, and got in a short workout. It was a lower body day and one of my knees is feeling a bit off, so I'm modifying some of the moves (I'm 28 for crying out loud!)
🥤 Water went well. I'm going to start really trying to get up to 120 oz.
🏃‍♀️ I did Week 2 day 2 in the books. My level of soreness after each workout is going down.
🥘 I logged all my meals, including the cookies I made last night. I'm trying to not restrict myself too much, as that's how I cave and binge. Everything in moderation!
