Hello losers,

Monday funday y'all. Blergh. We made it though! Taking that win.

Weight by end of month (199 lbs, preferably trend weight): No weigh in this morning. 201.5 lbs trend weight.

Stay within calorie range (1700 ish): Better today. Back on the wagon. It's been a rough weekend for calories but it's way easier when the routine is back in place.

Exercise 5 days a week: 150 tbar swings at 50 pounds, arm strength stuff & some light yoga. 21/27 days.

Self-care time (JOURNALING, working on love journals, beauty treatments, drawing 0/23 days): I need a shower & some skin care routine woot woot.

Try a new recipe once a week: An imitation crab salad with homemade sauce, a crock pot Italian wedding soup, Russian dressing & a chicken lemon orzo soup. I want to make a cole slaw only with a veg & dressing setup I prefer. 4/5 weeks.

50 pages of The Body Keeps the Score: An attempt was made. 1/50 pages.

No fast food or candy from the work dish: Streak day 3. 4 candy related lapse in judgement.

Listen to my effing body: Body tired today. Inertia was a bit of a struggle I will admit.

Be more mindful & express gratitude, avoid the hedonic treadmill: Today I'm grateful for bacon, grand theft pony & a few other silly things that make the days feel full of fun.

Also, I think I'm grateful that after being on this journey for 2.5 years I've perhaps learned to not judge my own food choices. Americans assign moral value to food choices sometimes & while I would never do that to a friend or acquaintance, I spent the first part of my journey aggressively judging my own choices. I think I'm done with that. I say that because I keep waiting to hear my internal recriminations at some of the choices I've made during intentional maintenance & It hasn't been coming. I'll take that. Remember to be kind to yourself along the way folks. Goes a long way.

Your turn.
