    This is getting challenging! It's almost month end...I have to clean it up this week to get to my goals!!!
    In calculating this out in excel, I need to do 100% thru the end of the month. I can do that. that's not that hard. Just takes practice, and that is what I am doing. Practicing.

    Was in extreme pain from uti and legs and body from my workout. Work stressful with issues. Just drove me to food instead of what I should have had. I need more veggies….. today wasn’t good but the other 2 days were. Tomorrow will be better also.

    GOALS FOR AUGUST

    %Planned: 80%
    %Tracking: 69%
    OnTrack AM: 95
    OnTrack PM: 75%
    OnTrack Eve: 85%( w/maybe) or 78% (counting M as =No)


    Actual:
    %Planned: 81% *MET GOAL*
    %Tracking: 72% *MET GOAL*
    OnTrack AM: 87% *below GOAL*
    OnTrack PM: 79% *MET GOAL*
    OnTrack Eve: 80% *BELOW GOAL*

    Ending weight: 104.0
    Lowest weight: 8/14 at 103.4

    Thoughts:
    This was a great exercise to do. I am suprized that I am above goal on many of them. Having different data points to track against helped me stay more on track as compared to a Pass/Fail for the entire day. I need to really work on my 1-2:30 and my 2:30-4:30 time frames. I really know that my mid afternoons are what is keeping me from being less than 104 consistently. Many times I was suprized that my weight was still 104. Although, I don't weigh in when I feel like I will be huuge..... however I did weigh in a couple times (not recorded) and thought I would be up 5# but was actually still at 104. Crazy. Also, doign LIIFTMORE, I was suprized that my heart rate could be so HIGH. like at 157 and I was just doing shoulders. I still fit into all my clothes so I will continue on.

    Tips:
    Strength train.

    You burn more calories with more muscle on your body.
    Fat burns almost NO calories.

    We do too much at one time.

    Our goal is too high.
    I don't achieve it
    I shame myself
    I think "why would I think I could do this"?
    and we go over and over in this cycle

    We make a PROMISE to ourselves. Not to another person.
    So we go 1/2 day and then we quit.
    So no one knows.
    BUT that eats away at your belief in yourself.
    Which impacts your heart, your soul, etc.
    It eats away at your self confidence.

    This is me.
    Is it you?

    One of the reasons you are exhausted:

    You are not eating enough.
    You are not fueling your body.
    The quality gas you are choosing is 'cheap as water' so your CAR won't run.
    And you wonder why.

    When you get QUALITY fuel.
    Its premium gas that you are choosing.
    Expensive and it makes your CAR run well.

    As you age, when you are 40+
    Cardio is NOT as good as you think.

    Strength training as you age is SUPER important.
    Most People end up in nursing homes because they cannot get off the toilet.
    That's your quadriceps.

    You have to work them.

    Questions:
    What worked?
    + Eating more protein
    + Morning workouts
    + Drinking enough water
    + Using coffee to get thru the afternoon
    + Tracking my protein
    +Checking in on Facebook

    What didn't work?
    + Eating past 7:30 PM
    - what happened: Bloated, tired, unable to sleep, grumpy, decision fatigue
    I hate making a bazillion decisions on food. Its overwhelming.

    What could I do instead:
    + Making the decisions in advance makes my life easier
    + Making choices that are repetitive and simple make my life easier.

    + Eating too often
    -What happened: I didn't make a daily plan. I just used food to snack all the time. Eating food I normally don't eat, and foods that are not fuel for me. So you don't have to eat "donuts" - which throws off your meals.

    -Decision fatigue. Having a daily plan, so you don't need to think.

    What could I do instead:
    I could make a "Egg Bake" for breakfast.
    Lunch be a "sub"

    ++ My meals have been off for years.
    -What happened: I just eat and eat and eat all day. Then I am not hungry at dinner time, so I stall by doing a walk or working out or something.
    -What could I do instead: Smaller portions. 3 meals a day. Lack of resistance, I let my fuel food take the back seat. This impacts my decision making skills and my mood.

    In the future: WHEN I use my energy to replicate fuel foods, and pre-plan them earlier in the week - then I will have more energy and be happier.

    Food Freedom

    COMMON SYMPTOMS OF AN EATING DISORDER

    Emotional and behavioral

    In general, behaviors and attitudes that indicate that weight loss, dieting, and control of food are becoming primary concerns

    Preoccupation with weight, food, calories, carbohydrates, fat grams, and dieting

    Refusal to eat certain foods, progressing to restrictions against whole categories of food (e.g., no carbohydrates, etc.)

    Appears uncomfortable eating around others

    Food rituals (e.g. eats only a particular food or food group [e.g. condiments], excessive chewing, doesn’t allow foods to touch)

    Skipping meals or taking small portions of food at regular meals

    Any new practices with food or fad diets, including cutting out entire food groups (no sugar, no carbs, no dairy, vegetarianism/veganism)

    Withdrawal from usual friends and activities

    Frequent dieting

    Extreme concern with body size and shape

    Frequent checking in the mirror for perceived flaws in appearance

    Extreme mood swing
