DAY 9/365, Weight 173.4, Down 2.6, TWL 11.2 LBS

I am using my written schedule which is helping me to better utilize my time. I don't feel as overwhelmed and therefore I haven't thought much about eating. I feel much calmer when I have thought out my schedule the night before. I am confident all my bases are covered, and I feel like I have accomplished what I have set out to do for the day. Managing my time well alleviates a tremendous amount of pressure, therefore, eliminating a tremendous amount of emotional eating! Win/Win for me!

DAY 7/365, Weight 177.4, Up 5.4, TWL 7.2 LBS

My food choices were better today.  I say I want lose weight and be healthy, however, my choices speak differently.  Consistency leads to a balanced life.  I want a balanced life so I will have to make consistently healthy choices.

DAY 4/365 Weight 170.6 lbs, Down 1.6 lbs, TWL 14 lbs


Today was obviously a hard day.  I was coughing badly last night so although I was in bed early enough to get 6 hours of sleep, I couldn't go to sleep.  So I decided not to go to bootcamp this morning because I felt bad and knew I would not get nearly enough sleep.

I started off drinking coffee this morning instead of water and was not intentional about drinking my water.  I made homemade coleslaw with cabbage, onion, bell pepper, celery, olive oil and cider vinegar.  It is delicious and healthy but I use quite a bit of salt in the recipe.  I imagine with my salt intake, lack of water  intake, and an 80% RED card, my weight will be up a lot tomorrow.  

I have to be intentional about meeting each of these goals.  A 20% success rate is not going to lead to weight loss.
