Often times the hardest part about dieting is imagining how long it will take to get where you want to be. But, the journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step. So try starting small; cook dinner 3 nights a week, or take lunch to work. But big steps or small, commit today to the most important thing you've got...your health.
"Two days this week I did not stay true to getting up when the alarm went off and went back to bed. I think this is due to staying up too late the night before. I also stress ate the two days that I stayed up later. For the new week I will try and go to bed around 2100 and when I crave foods that are not within my healthier habits I will drink more water. "
"Dropping goal to 4 days a week exercise or read bible. Also moved bible to where I sit at end of the day after I get home, as an alternate place/time trigger for reading if I didn’t do it first thing in the morning. "
"Day 1 - great! Hit my target well before the deadline and also hit other two side goals (5+ pieces of fruit and circadian fasting). Well done me! ❤️ "

"So, I have been fulfilling the prompt, and accomplishing my goal, but it has a necessarily let me to help me to be a healthier individual. I guess a lot of it is I just sent you eat a lot of sweets even though I cut myself off at 8 PM, I still end up eating a lot or eating bigger meals. Something that I want to manage, because in the past I have managed it before. Self-control is so hard to develop, doable to maintain, and really easy to let go."
"This week I haven't had the same eating habits as usual since I went on a trip during the weekend and I was sick during the week. However, I did try to eat fruit as a snack. "
"I feel better with 3 meals than when graze all day. I prefer to take the weekend off, as my schedule is at lot less in control. Perhaps 2 big long meals on Sat and Sun instead of 3?"
"Thank you Terri! "Failure to report" means that they're failing to give $20 because I've stuck with the plan. Everything is all good! Down .9lbs from yesterday to today...that was the whoosh I was hoping for! I've developed, yet again, a minor cold...ugh! So, I'm going to keep my food simple (i.e. veggie soup for lunch) and keep my bunny slippers on today. "

"I made it 3 weeks! I lost 1.1lbs this week for a total loss since the beginning of 7.7lbs! With the hunger I've been experiencing I was hoping for a bit quicker weight loss this past week, but again, at least I'm headed in the right direction. And, there are so many other good side effects to be thankful for. I'm so proud of myself for making it this far, so far 😊"
"I'm up .7 lbs this morning and not sure why...I bit frustrated about that...but I'll weigh in the morning to get my true weekly change. I need to get back to making more dinners at home so I know exactly how much I'm eating...not sure the 1 plate rule is cutting it at this stage. However, I've been hungry so I was assuming it was about right. I know bodies are weird so we'll see how it goes tomorrow. I'm still proud to be sticking to the plan."

"Consistency being the key to this journey. I put in the work yesterday and did so today.
The journey will not be complete unless we stay focused on what we need to do daily. I almost didn’t get to the gym today but found my way luckily."
"Last night I felt a spike in hunger towards the end of the evening; however, I just kept drinking water and didn't eat. I'm down a few more ounces in weight - heading in the right direction!"
"Feeling good about a metric I feel I can sustain for the year: 80% of my meals must be void of any Dessert, Alcohol, or fast food. Assuming 21 meals a week, that allows me 4 meals/week where I can go outside these restrictions. Seems to align well for my social life. Vacation may prove to be harder..."
"Looking at breaking my 80% down a bit further. If I eat 3 meals/day, that's 21 meals/week. 4 meals is 20%. That essentially means at 4 meals/week I can have dessert. If that's the metric, I hit my number this week since I only had dessert 3x this week. I also had a drink or two at each of those meals."

"Proud to say I made it through another weekend! We ate out so I'm sure my quantities were over but no S&F and only 3 meals every day. When I do get food cravings I'm able to easier pinpoint where they're coming from; and, that makes it easier to say no."
