Felt like I went back to some old mindless eating today. Noticed it was when I was feeling work stress. I didn’t take time to slow down and properly eat and by the time I noticed I had eaten too much and although hungry had eaten past fullness. Will work on dialing it back in to finish the second half of this challenge strong. So far 6 of 38 days I didn’t meet my goals which is 16%. With a goal of meeting 90% I’m cutting it close. Have already decided the days I missed will be tacked on the end.

Day 4️⃣1️⃣ of 7️⃣5️⃣
✅ Exercise: 90 min walk
✅ Read: Cooked A Natural History of Transformation By Michael Pollen
✅ Water: Gallon
❌Food: gorged 😳 pizza at lunch, chips for snack and loaded giant potato for dinner… way over calories and feel blah
❓<10g Added Sugar: loosely tracked so unable to accurately calculate. No sweets but who knows what’s hidden.

Started the day fine but pizza lunch threw me off then work stress was overwhelming and I couldn’t get away for even 15 minutes to walk it off. Will have to work a few hours this weekend to be ready for Monday but will primarily take it easy and relax. Even though I got off late and had already blown my calories I didn’t just say oh well I already messed up might as well have brownies and ice cream. So this is some progress in my mindset. I still finished up my water and got a great walk in and started a new book. 3 of 5 goals met. It’s not about perfection. I’m building new habits and cultivating a healthy lifestyle. There will be blips but I am learning to manage in a healthier way. Happy weekend all🌸
